    If anyone has a line on a Space Invaders machine in the NY/metro area, drop me a PM.
    Either that or Gorgar, I've really wanted one of those since 1982... B)
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I know where the next Polk Fest ought to be! :)

    Except to date the only Polk item I have is the sub connected to the pinball machine. But it’s working very well for this.

    The Led Zeppelin pinball is really cool. I have been fascinated by the rock & roll themed machines for the last couple of years. I was close to buying a Iron Maiden Premium last year when I heard about the LZ and decided to wait. I’m glad I waited because the LZ fits more of my taste. But if they announce a Pink Floyd I will be the first in line to order a limited edition.

    Only one I know of for sale is in Florida.

    Gorgar was my favorite machine to play, the heart beat sound it made was the best.

    Bottom of the page says free shipping continental USA, I don't believe that.

    We're getting closer....LOL

    The Drydock ( a pub in the shopping center where I worked as a ute) had a Gorgar machine. My friend and I fed that thing so many quarters I probably could have bought it back then.

    A quick check of CList found this one in Kingston NY https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tag/d/kingston-gorgar-pinball/7263420974.html
    but it's just a bit too far for my liking. Especially with all this G*&$amn snow we have. :rage:

    Looks like Stern just brought out the "Rush" pinball.

    I have also been wishing a Rush pinball would be produced. I got on the waiting list a couple of months ago but decided to let this one pass me by. Based on what I have seen I am not very impressed with the art work and the price once again has be increased. I was imagining a more 2112 themed machine.

    @txcoastal1 - Whats your thoughts on the Rush? You getting one?

    With the recent purchase of Godzilla, and awaiting Halloween pinball machine I too had to pass.

    If I decide to re-visit Rush, it would be for the pro. The pro seems to be fairly loaded and fast.

    There should be some cool after market translites and art blades made, or just add mirrored art blades for the pop.

    Keep on eye out for Dead Flips stream playing for Rush. He'll likely have the designer on with him going through the game...Jack works for Stern and always does streams on Twitch which will later be on youtube (next day)

    @txcoastal1 Thats is crazy. Wish I could do that. My wife is much better at it than I am. But she plays more. She has not cracked a billion but has hit 850 million.

    Looks like a fun machine. Whenever I play a pinball game I make it the number one priority to keep going after the "Shoot Again". It's the best way to keep the game alive and score big.

    Any of you guys pinball fans? I have been watching and playing them over the past few years. Have really wanted to purchase one of the Rock & Roll themed machines. I was close on the Iron Maiden machine but put it on hold when I heard about this.

    So, I have pre-ordered one of the Led Zeppelin Limited Editions. Should be really cool.

    So now after a few years do you still enjoy playing it? I have the itch for the new Stern Godzilla machine, but the logical and boring part of my brain says I would get tired of it after a few weeks.

    I don’t play it as much as I use to. But with all the music stuff I have I still enjoy it being in the house.

    I am planning an addition to my 2 channel room. If it works out I will have a perfect setup for it, my records, record cleaning stuff and Bourbon bar. I have the plans and looking for contractors. Once I get that it will really fit perfect. Then I plan to add an Iron Maiden pin.

    This place is in Minneapolis,Mn.
    Just opened up about six months ago.
    65 pinball machines if my memory serves me?
    I have only been in there for work, installing fountain equipment.
    Peace. D

    Yeah. I really like the music related one. The Aerosmith and Metallica are also cool.
