Well there is a late 1950s Gottlieb header that was made that I have never seen - been after one for about 15 years.

Maybe time to get into Mr. Feldwick now Pinball Rescue are about to start production again  *%*

Terrific topper Hamish, probably the meanest greenest head ever.
How can you bear to part with your CFTBL? Have you fallen for another machine?

I love Robby the Robot !  Did you know he was designed by the same person who designed the robot for Lost in Space.. Robby the Robot also appeared on an episode of Lost in SPace.

Hi Dean, interesting factoid about our metal mate. So he matched it with B9 on lost in space - missed that episode - damn.
Of course Robby was the best actor in the classic "Forbidden Planet" from 1956. I was 4 years old then and except for him the movie scared me sh*tless. Now I watch the DVD with nostalgia.
Max !!!


Max, Forbidden Planet was great.  Loved that as well.  The episode of LIS was first season black and white, they were the best of the LIS series.  The actor from Forbidden Planet also appearad in an episode of LIS

Just set up my new LOTR topper- it's a "Toybiz" fell beast kit.
Still needs model putty, airbrush & drybrush, adjust the angle of the dangle etc.
Couldn't wait to post, what with all the excitement about LOTR LE Gold and so forth . . .
(my LOTR is a good as new standard one)

Got a neon sign last week from Gav / Neon Planet (sponsor)
I use it instead of the main light in the lounge room.
Not sure if it will stay on top of the machine as it's not going due to fix up & cant tell if it will outshine the playfield.
But i really like it...
