But picture entering a large building. There's 4 rows of pinball machines, and each row you go down there's machines facing you on either side. There's probably around 250 pinball machines in this one building - all unique (except for the 2 linked NBA Fastbreaks). Then there's a second building with about 150 more pinball machines. And then another building with about 100 more. Total unique pinball machines this year was 410. The crew here is fantastic too as all 410 pinball machines were playable on the start of the event on Friday and all 410 up and running on Sunday when it ended. There's nothing like this show if you just want to play pinball.So I'm just going to call out a few of the interesting machines that popped up this year rather than most of the common/popular ones.<a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1981.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1981.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Here's the line Saturday morning. The entrance is behind this small building here, which is where food was served (burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches). The crowd was a lot large than on Friday but because limited tickets are sold there are very few problems playing any table. On the most popular ones you may have to wait for one person. Maybe two.Luckily I had already picked up my wristband for Saturday on Friday so was able to skip the line and walk in through the side entrance.<a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1972.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1972.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>This room housed a few tables other people brought. So there was a Iron Maiden, Houdini, JJ Pirates of the Caribbean, and my most wanted to play Defender.I had only gotten to play Defender once before a few years ago when someone (same person?) brought the machine to the Chicago Expo. I loved it and still really had a blast playing it. And this time I could finally hear the classic sounds. The machine was in mint condition and played great. Everyone in that room was more interested in all the other games so on Saturday I played like 7 games in a row without a single person lining up to play next.<a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1973.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1973.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>The aforementioned Iron Maiden - which I forgot to play! And a Spooky Pinball Domino's Pizza. Next to that was a Zaccaria Universe which was interesting. But there was another building that housed about 15 Zaccaria machines.</blockquote>
