Nope.. will PM [emoji106]
Unfortunately Spanish Star Wars won't be coming to NLPI tried a test fit into the back of the car yesterday and due to the weird shape of the head it just won't fit.
Instead I can bring Robot or Fathom @replicas any preference? I don't think either of these are currently on the list
Vote for Robot
Robot but fathom could look good next to the other 80s bally games
Does anyone know if Jeff Minter will be there again ? Maybe exhibiting new games ....He usually is. I need to get him to sign my hand drawn Ancipital map from 1984 I forgot it last time, and when he came to the Slam.

Robot gets my vote too as never played one.
+1 for Robot - not played it since the 80's.
Yeah, he's due to be there.Does anyone know if Jeff Minter will be there again ? Maybe exhibiting new games ....He usually is. I need to get him to sign my hand drawn Ancipital map from 1984
Not sure what it is but him and Giles are due to be unveiling something big. I suspect it's something maybe related to PSVR, but that's just a huge guess based on what i've heard them working on recently.
Sounds like Robot is coming to NLP then I better get the flippers sorted out from it's trip to NERG

Another vote from me for Robot, looks awesome in the pics
Is anyone bringing any machines with any of my work in? If so if I send Daz some of my cards would you mind desplaying one in your machine please?
Also are people meeting in the spoons opposite the travel lodge on the friday night?

Spoons will be pretty busy on the Friday night.
Any decent digs nearby
I think most nearby accommodation will be gone by now. Or crazy price. You might get lucky, sometimes folk drop out on here and a spare bed is offered.
We've ended up staying at Jurys Inn which is pretty close to the middle of Manchester. Whilst it means we've got a little taxi ride to take it also means that come the Saturday night we should be well served for local bars and places to eat.
Much as I love Pinball and I did consider the lock-in I felt that two full days of playing Pinball will probably be sufficient. Hell, last time around my legs were killing me for days after because of being stood for so long.

i have been known to have a pint or two over the weekend
Is the lock in on Saturday night, and is it available only to forum members?

Saturday and is for machine donators
Numbers are limited, priority given to machine donators, then others if space I believe.
Correct,initial priority to pin loaners .I will be sick of pins by then,so real ale for me
hopefully,love itAnd thats just during the brekkie at Spoons
More chocolate stout this time Chris
I've got a Stern Star Trek Pro and WOZ that I'm happy to loan - would need collecting/bringing back from CW3 0DR. If anyone can help, happy to loan them.
Map for those coming. Satnav to M41 7TB. As you come off the motorway you should see signs for Play Expo and/or Event City.
Pin loaners dropping off on Friday should come up Mercury Way, then take the first major left turn which will bring you to a blue security gate. Explain you're dropping a pinball machine off, and they'll probably point you to the far end which is bay VE5. You can drive straight in and will no doubt see people to help you
On Saturday and Sunday you can follow the signs up Phoenix Way (green arrow) onto the main carpark. There is overflow parking both on Trafford Centre (Sealife Centre) and across the road to EventCity. Again, all will be signposted.
