I know it's still 2 months away, but who is planning on going? I saw earlier that the pin list was up to 100 and they had listed one premium and 4 LE (2 of each) acdc pins. This will be my 3rd year in a row attending.
 
I'm going. I know that Punkshere2stay is probably going...would be surprised if not. One other guy I know from the Dallas area that I picked up an empty cabinet is going AND taking several machines.
 
heck yea im signed up. my b-day is the march 25th so it is my b-day present :) ....and i am bringing 4 arcades... 3player battletoads, puzzle bobble, pacman 60-1, hang-on

I'm planning on being there. This will be my first time. When you guys bring your games, are you bringing them to sell or just for show? What do you have to do to sell games there?

If I took something it'd just be for people to play and have fun with...definately not for sale. :)

I know the guys like elevation games are taking them to sell though. That guy is something else. Pretty sure that's Oradat's business... if anyone runs into him, tell him to dig that Space Station out of his trash heap before I stomp a mudhole in his @$$ to get it.....
 
Ok, thanks for the info. It's too far for me to bring any games anyway. It'll be fun to go play a few and see what everyone has at the swap meet.

I went last year for the first time and was really surprised at the amount of pins that were for sale (and the prices weren't bad). Great time, I won't miss another one :)
 
I have never gone, it falls the same time as the Midwest gaming classic, anyone attended both. Which one is better? I want to go to one or the other....
 
TPF gets bigger every year it seems. As far as stuff for sale - complete crap shoot. Sometimes there are lots of good pins - finished, and projects - available, many for fair prices.

Sometimes it's mostly complete, overpriced crap that's not worth even looking at for the price.

Same with parts; some regulars there who show up every year, but sometimes just not much to choose from.

Weather will play a big part in the swap meet on Saturday - if the weather's good, you'll typically see a lot of good stuff out there as well.

Definitely going myself; been every year except the first, and always a great time!
 
I think I'm going to try to bring Space Shuttle, even if I don't get the PF swap done by then. Might as well let people know what games REALLY look like that are out there, not just collector pieces, right? ;)
 
im sure i will have arcade stuff at the swap meet.along with my 1 and only EM pin..no one would give me $100 for it last year. not its got new rubbers and inserts and a new top glass... everythign works about 80% of the time..im hoping to have some income tax left over so i can buy me a pin... i really want a revenge from mars.. and the wife of course wants the adams family
