Newbie to Pinball in Auckland
« on: June 27, 2012, 09:18:10 PM »
Hey there guys.  I'm Matt from England living in Auckland.  Been a serious games addict since the age of five and just started playing pinball and getting hooked on it.  Looking to maybe meet up with some other people for a few games and a beer.  Just trying to get to know more people that are into this.

Yeah, welcome aboard. There are a few other NZ members, some of whom have very decent collections and are known to be hospitable!

@ajlaird

Hey yeah I've emailed a couple but turned out to be dead ends. They said they usually only have invite only events, which is more than understandable. Why have blow ins that you don't know thrashing the shit out of your babies? Have to say, it's quite a hard hobby to get to know others when starting out ha ha ha.

 $.$ Matt and  %)% to AP.

There are collectors in NZ - I'm sure that once they "get to know you", that you will be part of their circle.

Enjoy the forum.

Hi & Welcome to AP.

I'm a kiwi from the south island, however I live on the sunny gold coast these days. There is some good collections in Auckland, most of the members/collectors trade & sell on trademe.co.nz.
