Notable quotes
“The Chicago Pinball Expo is the world's largest running pinball exposition, and for enthusiasts and manufacturers alike, one of a handful of must-attend pinball events of the year.”
“But hold on to those Benjamins everyone, as Stern is limiting these retrofit kits due to continued supply chain shortages and delays.”
“Eager Stern enthusiasts picked up on the image and did some clever photo sleuthing to discover a tiny sliver of art that could be seen on the adjacent cabinet perfectly matching the top portion of the iconic Rush logo”
“Less than 24 hours later and as Pinside was running wild on the news the photo was pulled and then later reposted by Stern having photoshopped out the offending image leak”
“George Gomez is coming back to design pinball? Well, three guesses as to what this new project is rumored to be.”
“Legends of Valhalla was officially announced this weekend designed by riot pinball as the fourth american pinball title it's featuring norse gods and viking mythology”
“Thanks for your continued patience. Pirates update incoming.”
“I think pretty much Kelts is at the end of their run and it's full steam ahead with Fathom now that Kelts is over.”
