Pretty descent show this year. I was surprised by the lack of the bigger name pin's.. Addams Family, Funhouse, Whirlwind, etc. They did have one Addams Family, but it was only for display using led lights. My wife was upset she didn't get to play it this year. She even offered to buy it for 3000, but the guy said he didn't want to sell it. A few arcades were in amongst the mix (Space Harrier, The Simpson's, a Neo-Geo, Joust, a wood grain Ms. Pac, Choplifter and some multi-cades..) I was really shocked to see the games for sale outside in the flea market area though. I noticed (Elevator Action, Donkey Kong, Crystal Castles, Space Invaders, Ms. Pac, Heavy Barrel, Rush N' Attack, and a few others floating around the flea market section). Played a lot of pins for the first time including Eight Ball Deluxe, Space Invaders, and Road Show. I stood in line but still didn't get to play the Mario Bro's pin. Every time I went to it, the same guy was on it. The pin I played the most was Time Warp. Those sounds were awesome!! :eek: We did come home with some new artwork for the game room. Got a Super Mario Bros: Mushroom World translite to put on the wall as soon as I frame it. I didn't stay to see who won the free pin. All in all not too bad. Can't wait til next years show. The countdown begins.

Very nice! So, how does this show work? Is everything there for sale? Was the flea market big? I wonder if it is worth the trip. Sounds like a lot of fun. Good score on the Mario Translite. I love the art!
 
The Flea Market prices were very reasonable. Items were priced to sell. As for the show, I would say a good majority of the machines are for sale. Ones such as the Addams Family were on display with the different vendor's selling their products. If you're a pin lover, then this show is for you. It does have a few arcade games, but nothing like CAX. I'd say there was about 80-100 pins. There was room where they could have put about a dozen or so more in too.
