My opinion.....you paid 5 bucks to see alot of pinballs, and play some of them as much as you wanted. Bargain! Got to play Cactus Canyon, 24, and Sterns newest release NBA. 24 is a very good game, NBA didnt grab me though. Got to play Coconut Island as well, give these guys heaps of credit for making their own cool pinny, and the decals Spacies did look as good as any commercially made pin.

The best bit was catching-up and meeting fellow pinheads. The newy guys had a ball talking shit on the way, whilst there, and on the way home.

Nothing negative from me, it was all good. Others may have expected more, but to me it was exactly what I expected of this event.

and I got to meet Matt!


oh lil sad there wasnt an EBD there lol

Some more pics:

spewing i didnt go now.
looks great
my sword of fury would have looked great in there as it is in near perfect condition.
there were some pins there which i totaly forgot existed.
you would think they would all be in near mint condition, but some scratched and dirty pins are better than no pins at all.

Looks as thought it would be fun to be there.

I see in some of the pics the AP shirts. They seem to stand out.

What do people think of them now that they have seen them in the flesh so to speak.

I am sorry i couldn't make it.(Siggghhhhh)

Maybe the next one for me.

Thanks for the pictures so far guys - really appreciated for those of us unable to make it.

I'm really pleased at the turnout, and the feedback has been very positive with regard to the event. CI looks to be the "show stealer" and we have been well represented - all the good looking guys are wearing AP T-Shirts.

 :D

Keep the pictures and reports coming.

.....What he just said!! :D

Now im sorry i didnt go.. Cam wanted me to go, and take my Vortex machine there. Well it turned out i could've gone after all coz the band gigs i had got canned at the last minute which REALLY pissed me off.

I bet the CI was the show stealer as well. would've LOVED to see that one in action.
Keep the pics coming..  #*# #*#

Got to play 24, and Sterns newest release NBA. 24 is a very good game, NBA didnt grab me though.

24 - Couldnt get into it as it was hard to hear the machines so I was just belting the ball around and kicking Rollerballs arse on it :lol, its certainly a game U would need to know the rules of and be able to hear in order to play it properly, but it 'felt' good , the sniper targets were cool.
I actually liked the NBA Jam machine , and I dont like Basketball at all - after having read a lot of negatives about new Stern titles I thought it played REALLY smooth and had good flipper feel - the loop shots were fast and that kickout hole that shoots ( airballs )  the ball up to the basket from the middle of the playfield , like a long 3 point shot, was insane

Only negative is the backglasses- I HATE real photo backglasses - they REALLY cheapen the look to me.

There just wasnt enough time to meet-up with people Wotto, as we had to take off at 3pm. I look forward to more of these events, and like Tony said AP and AA guys got on really well. To be honest I wouldnt expect anything different because we all share the same passion, and really get a kick out of promoting it. I left expo feeling more energised for the hobby. Man I wanted that original Star Trek, its bloody nice and know it will get good $$$ (how good is the overlay!).

I feel the same after the Expo Greg . It's got me wanting some more pins more than ever . I think it would be the same for everyone who attended and for those who attended that weren't already into the hobby it would've certainly got them buzzing with excitement .... that's gotta be a good thing !!!

One thing I was impressed with was the age range of the crowd . There were some guys there who would've been old enough to be my grandfather right down to the very young .... Jeez one bloke I seen had a young baby strapped to his chest in one of those harness things . He was bashing away at the pin and the bub was watching the ball and all that was going on . Talk about starting em early .... lol

Was great to meet fellow AP members ..... felix , Rollerball ,Wotto ,ajlaird ,millsy,illawarra tony and more (sorry can't remember everyone but I'm sure after a few more Expo's it'll be easier)

Completely agree with you Wotto. I really liked the NBA machine and I'm not into basketball either.

I agree about the backglass too, but then I've never thought much of any backglass since about 1982.  %.%
