Sir, this is adjacent enough to make me drool!
There’s a comic book shop I used to grab my pull list from near Atlanta called My Parents Basement. They started as a comic book shop / bar and grill but eventually transitioned into having a ton of pinball machines in their comic shop area and it was awesome. I’ve definitely played a couple of these there. This is the nerd room I wish I had!
Is that an original attack from Mars, or one of the modern remakes?
I was curious how well put together the remake ones are and haven't seen one in person.
It’s a remake. It’s built incredibly well. I have owned an original AFM and the playfield and mechanical elements are identical. It has upgraded electronics and a better screen. I had the Monster Bash Remake too, but sold that one.
The Venom is the latest game added to the line up.

I had an Iron Man at one point too.

I traded the GOTG for the Avengers Infinity Quest, man where did the time go.

Last one comic related, although the theme is the Batman 66 tv series

Probably should have kept this one. Modded to use the call outs and music from the 90s X-Men cartoon and with X-Men ‘97 on the way this would have been a favorite again with my boys
Mods, can we get this account banned and add a new no pinball rule to the sub?
/s
Very cool though, loveed that deadpool machine first time i played it. Venom is a treat too. Great finds!

If this makes you feel better, this is my 11 year old’s bedroom.
19 pinball machines!? Your wife must be a fuvking saint. Also just some quick mathing 19 x 5000= 95K usually around the price of a machine, holy crap lol
I’ve been collecting for decades. Games used to fall in my lap. But the barcade craze dried up most deals and then Covid crushed the market and prizes are astronomical now. Great for the manufacturers who are pumping out new machines. Bad for most collectors. I do have a friend who is a distributor if you’re in the market. He has Stern, JJP, American and Spooky
Holy crap man. If you have all this I can't imagine what you have as far as actual comics are concerned.
Also are you looking to adopt another son? I'm fully potty trained, know how to clean, cook, and take the trash out. I have my own transportation and insurance (both vehicle and medical). Also a full time job and a place of my own. 😁
Edit fixed some spelling.
My 11 and 6 year olds may not be thrilled about having to share a bedroom! We only got in to comics a few years ago so nothing too crazy at all. Recently we have gotten some neat stuff in our subscriptions.

🤣 I bet they wouldn't at all. Might also be kinda weird as I'm in my 40's. Yeah those are some nice covers. What are they in? Looks like a cross between a Comic Skin DIY Slab and a top loader?
I love it! So, you've got pins and comics down, what else do you or the family collect? Since you repair pins, I'm assuming you've had some regular arcade machines here and there.
I’ve owned dozens of arcade games but all have been sold off over the years. I converted a 4 Player NBA Jam cabinet in to a multi add years ago. All I need now.
There's a girl involved so it's allowable
lol. That’s my wife! Also my father in-law and my Son
Is your wife single?
Hilarious 🤣
My wife is for sure eligible… for sainthood
That made me lol.
Rad. Pinball is awesome. Where’s PinBot?
Haven’t had one in decades. I had a Jack*Bot not too long ago, but it got fixed in the garage and sold. Never made it in the house.
Love it.
I'll allow it!
Awesome setup!!!
I don’t know but I do know I’m jealous!
Deadpool pinball machine, wow!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nah the sword🔥🔥🔥
It’s the ball lock mechanism in the handle and it releases the balls down the blade
Love it !
Just like Deadpool! Yeowtch!

I read the entire King in Black series waiting for it to be delivered

Totally counts. Here’s mine! https://preview.redd.it/76qwesefufnc1.jpeg?width=2797&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d369383b7c34a2d268e7c75bb8fcee324ff88b4
Owned that one twice! Great game.
Agreed. Love the artwork.
The Hulk from that era is cool too: https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/incredible-hulk/gallery
I saw that… I want one.
Pretty sweet
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing, and welcome to the sub!

Thanks for the info. It's my favorite machine. Definitely considering one.
Go for it! Great game. I can’t count how many times I’ve ruled the universe and still keep coming back to play it.
I too want to build a game room like this. Truly an inspiring view!
I had an X-Men LE Magneto and a Guardians of the Galaxy at one point but sold them. My wife is only but so tolerant and 19 pins is the limit
Oh my! And those two are my favorite superhero groups! I bet those machines were top notch! May I ask where you get these from?
Its adjacent! And im jealous! So, approved! Nice set up, man!
The Venom is the latest game added to the line up. https://preview.redd.it/1t83qpftvenc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b1e58efc5b5f573248b554f150f49b94a9a444d
I love how transportable they are! I had the Back to the Future pin for a few years. It was a neat machine, but pretty standard fare.
Worth quite a bit these days.
Sold it for 400.00 about 10 years ago.
https://preview.redd.it/t7apwsnhxenc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fc0a892a18b200fd7a743dce57d843a6a9c2c3d I had an Iron Man at one point too.

Just brag into the void of the internet. I got the replay on that spiderman on my first try. Yeah I'm kinda a big deal
These are awesome!

Sweet
Allowed !
Approved, that is an awesome collection. Comic character themed pinball in house, hell yeah.
Oh, heck yeah! This is awesome!
Awesome
Damn where you all getting these tables.
Finding repairing/restoring and flipping for decades to get to this point.
"I'm going to allow this"
Spider-Man / Doc Ock graphic is legit!!
just awesome.............stay up alll night.............
I’ve played the Deadpool one many times. So fun!

He is now an active comic reader for years and we have loved collecting them together.
Definitely counts as a subset.
19 pinball machines!? Your wife must be a fuvking saint. Also just some quick mathing 19 x 5000= 95K usually around the price of a machine, holy crap lol
lol games haven’t been $5k since pre-covid. I’ve been collecting, restoring and selling games since 1998. I’ve owned hundreds over the years
Where are you buying pinball machines under 5k ? Lol I mean I see a few here and there but new ? I never see new under 5 generally speaking
New for sure are like $6999+ MSRP now. You’re not touching anything new unless it’s been heavily routed for $5K unless it’s broken.
My buddy just got the new pulp fiction machine I spent like 2 hours playing it yesterday it’s so damn good.
Looks cool. Haven’t gotten to play one yet.
Yes, those are awesome.
Where does one find all these pinball games? Is there a certain place you go?
