I am sure that some people on here are involved in organizing this event but I wanted to know how it compares to Allentown.  I am looking to maybe make a purchase and I wondered what last years selection was like.

The show has been on hiatus for the lst few years so it didn't exist last year.  

This year it will be larger then ever, previous years it was always held in a small community center, this year it is in the International center.

There is better sponsorship and a larger tournament and a wider audience as it is for the entire gameroom and not just pinball.

It is the ONLY show in Canada so that reason alone is enough to support it.

I don't know how it will compare to Allentown but it will still be good.  

Old pics to give you an idea of what it was like. Not sure that is any reflection of what it's going to be like.

Keep in mind also that we here on MAACA are a bunch of pinballers.

If the show is able to attract people not already in the hobby, or those that might have owned one or two games, then it will grow the hobby in Canada. We could all benefit from that.

Also, hopefully bring together a whole bunch of people including those outside the GTA (Montreal, Ottawa, etc) with a good reason for a road trip.

I will definitely bring the kids.

I might look like a dweeb with my MAACA crest on. So, will just have to talk to people who look like they're into the hobby to find out who they are on MAACA.

I will be going but I just wanted to get an idea of the show.  I am hoping that there is a SM, FG, or LOTR in mint condition for sale with my name on it.

Sorry, LOTR is already sold.

The Playidum store is one of the sponsors so I think it's a fair bet that one or all of those machines will be their avaliable for sale.
