Yes Alan
Cool. It’s a great game. plenty to do. beasts lair is nasty but such fun if you bounce it out successfully.
Play it a lot then restencil it, the artwork is fantastic.
I’m just about to receive the “sister” pin Lost World. similar art. - although the one i’ve got arriving is in the wrong cab
, so will need a paint job itself.

Be sure to free up some space (if needed) because one quickly becomes half a dozen!

Best things come to those who wait
I must confess it did cross my mind to unwrap it and have a look !
hurry up. i’ll be in bed at 8:30.
You have more will power than me waiting this long.
My first one was due to arrive at 07:30 so I could get it in the house before I set off for a clients site. I got it in the awkward front door but it then couldn’t work out the best way to slide it alone and then through the next door as that one was 2cm too narrow due to the previous owner artexing it.
Gave up at 08:15 and left for the client. Rushed homed and worked out how to do a shark fin manoeuvre.
Fricking awesome day.
No 2 was followed by no 3 within a year. Took the head off both. Moved house to allow for 4, 5 and 6.
It was easier to give up Heroine then it has been pinball.

What a great story !
I don’t want to balls it up so I’ll wait till help arrives.
I do have fruit machines I collect but could sell if I needed to make room
It would have to be done itch though as I love my 80s fruit machines
Love 80s fruit machines myself, got rid of a driving arcade machine to make room for 3

These pins sound seriously addictive
They definitely are tough choices to be made when you start running out of space.

From that pic I can see you can have 2 and possible 3 machines in that room
