Hey friends,

Who here is going to the Pinball Expo in Chicago? Has anyone been before? How does it compare to Allentown?

this is a trade show, not really for off the street fans to play pins n stuff. i mean there is pins to play but its more a business oriented trade show than a 'lets go play aaall the pins and party'.

so if you go, dont be disappointed :)

Do they have games for sale on the floor that you can just buy on the spot like allentown? Just not as big of a selection and more new industry product oriented?

AFAIK, there are games and parts for sale and tons of playable games. I really don't think you're not gonna be happy. Also tons of seminars and speakers.
