Been to the past 2 of these with my kids, first one in Bris, then Gold Coast last year.

Well worth the visit, met Christopher LLoyd first one, then "Black Belt Jones" Jim Kelly last year and got autographs.

The costumes people wear are fantastic too, very amusing and lots of effort goes into them.

There was no timezone set ups in these first two, so will have to see how popular they are at this one this weekend. Looking forward to seeing how Barbra Eden has held up over the years..............

Not great, but then she is 78.

Great show on Gold Coast!

Who won the State Title?  Had to leave before it finished. Great set up from TimeZone - 3 LE xmen to use, and 3 Pro Avengers. All on free play all weekend. A pic of the start of the semifinals.

Found it. AP Member Peter Watt on Sterns Facebook page, re a Down Under Pinball article.

I also note, Pete won the 1st Place Trophy at my place when we had a pinball comp. 1st Place out of 40 entrants then, so Pete is used to winning by the looks of it. Well done again Pete for the State Timezone win !

Ha - note - more people watching the pinball than the Hoff!

He is a funny guy though - anyone else see that Celebrity Roast on Foxtel? Brilliant!

I'm unsure of the prize for the state title but I'm pretty sure the overall prize is an Avengers Pro machine.

If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
