Paul, you not coming to this one?? What is going on?

Is there someone who has the space to bring some metal signs back from NLP to the south for me. I will be riding my motorbike to beat the Sunday traffic but have these signs comgin from Glasgow to NLP (thanks Abaxas), then anyone able to get them further south for a collection later?
 
If anyone is going to show on Sunday and can be there at the death to help tear down & pack up it would be greatly appreciated.


If volunteers could assemble ("hang around") near the NLP desk from about 10 minutes before the end of the show, then we can prevent you from being kicked out & we can all get to it as soon as the show officially ends.

Thanks all & enjoy the show! :)

Regards,
Dan.

What time is the end on Sunday Dan? I'll be there to collect my pin (probably not attending the rest of the show on the Sunday) and would be happy to help out with other stuff.

Be space in the Slam-mobile I'm sure :)
 
I think me and the rest of the mob I convinced to attend will be heading off tomorrow morning at around 8am. Should mean we're arriving just as the show kicks off.

Can't wait. :-)
 
Well it was excellent - a different league to the Daventry show imo. Loved the fact that all the pins were available, none annoyingly hidden away for competitions only. And a great selection of new titles plus all the video game stuff too.

Had a go on WOZ which looks the absolute nuts, really special, but I didn't find it a game that immediately kept me interested - maybe needs more time than a couple of games. Metallica on the other hand, another theme that doesn't really appeal to me personally, I really instantly enjoyed - the artwork, toys and sound was just a great total package...that's on my want list now. Avengers was OK I guess, I like the theme but a bit meh about the game - certainly wouldn't swap the Spiderman for it. And had a go on Simpsons Pinball Party and really enjoyed that too - another for the want list. Might be time to move my Spiderman on to make some game room space :)
 
Had a great day, played some awesome pins, and being new was like the proverbial kid in a candy store,
Roll on tomorrow
 
Had a great time. I went fully expecting to also play some video games but in the end I spent a good 6-7 hours just playing the Pins there. I could easily have stopped a second day and played more but alas i've got stuff going on at home.

As it was I managed to finally play on a Cirqus Voltaire and Scared Stiff. Both were lovely tables and i'd like either one of them at home. It's probably as well that funds are low right now other wise I might have been tempted to snap the one up that Will had for sale. Also got to play WOZ and really enjoyed it although as some people have mentioned it didn't always seem obvious what I was meant to be doing but I figure in a noisy environment it's quite possible that there were audio cues that I just couldn't hear.

I played a lot of different machines but particular favourites were Party Zone, Black Rose and ACDC. I think we're already committed to going again next year but probably for the entire weekend.

Massive thanks to anyone on forum who donated machines to the event and of course those at NLP for arranging it. It was superb and great to see so many kids playing the pins. :-)

My thoughts also.

Avengers - meh.

Woz - looks great but just doesn't give me the 'feeling'.

Metallica. Zero interest in theme but on playing it, changed my mind quickly. Great fun, wide variety of shots, good humour and Lyman code. And the pro looks great with metal ramps etc.

Going to NLP next year as sounds great:)

Tbf to WOZ, it took me a couple of weeks to figure out what I was doing. It's not a game for a couple of credits on location. Similar to TZ in that respect.
 
Oh my, those LEDs on the WOZ. They look absolutely stunning. I went to the show with two non-pinheads and I think both of them are converted now. In fact they didn't spend any time video gaming and spent most the day just playing pinball. Result.
