I had heard from another member here that there were some pins at my local mall (Roseville Galleria, Roseville CA). So I decided to investigate. Sure enough they were there. There were 11 of them. I believe they are just there for the holiday season in hopes they will sell and make a few bucks from the occasional player. Sorry I have no pics but I totally forgot to bring my camera and I can never seem to figure out how to get the pics from my cell. Any how here the list of what they have.

Stargate
Whirlwind
sorcerer
jurassic park
maverick
the shadow
diner
creature from the black lagoon
fire power
future spa
flipper football

Most were in good physical condition although the maverick seemed to have issues with the ball getting stuck everywhere. I just think it's cool to see some pins in the wild. I'll have to make another trip out there to play and snap some pics.
 
Been there for a while..

Actually,

The Pinball place opened up back in August. I spoke to the owner back then and his plan is to keep it open. He signed a one year lease for the spot. He wanted to open an actual store in the Galleria but the rent was way too high he said. So, being on that corner strip made sense.
I haven't seen him there since August, but his son runs it most of the time...

He had a really nice TZ and Addams Family there back in September...but I haven't checked there since...I don't get out to the Galleria that often even though it is the main mall I go to when I do go...

Mike went the other Day, said it was ok but way overpriced every pin was 2300 or more which we all know is crazy money for certain pins like Mavrick, mike said Whirlwind was ok with some minor issues. He said 50 cents for 3 balls and no multi dollar buy in. Stargate for 2300.00 and the pyramids broken, then I see all the stuff advertised on CL for 1800.00, so if I go in I pay 2300 but if I mention the CL ad I get 500.00 off? Cool that they are in the wild but it will go under just like Don at rock around the clock with his 3000.00 corvette and his 1800.00 robo cop and don't forget about the 6000.00 episode one. People are trippin on pinball pricing. Just my opinion.
