    ​A couple of weeks ago, Fiona and I attended     Collector Con in Minto. This is another great local collecting and pop culture convention run in the local area. While we like doing some of the bigger shows such as Collectfest and Pinfest, we also enjoy spreading the joy of pinball in our local area at smaller events, so we were happy to contribute three machines for patrons of Collector Con to enjoy.

    ​​We're back! Five years after the inaugural Collector Con Toy & Hobby Fair in Campbelltown in 2019, the show is back in town. Collector Con has grown considerably in the last few years but unfortunately there has not been a Campbelltown show since 2019. This year, that changed, and when we heard that Amy was bringing the show back to Campbelltown, we put our hands up to bring some pinball machines along for the public to play again.

    Well, it seems like I am a sucker for punishment. A couple of weeks ago, Fiona and I attended Nerd Con and brought three pinball machines for the public to play. We loved sharing our hobby with the public, so we decided to do it again! This time, we headed to Collector Con, an annual collector's convention with memorabilia, pop culture collectables, comics and games, and all sorts of other toys. This convention was in Leumeah, so not too far away from us, and another great opportunity to introduce pinball to the masses. Bringing three pinball machines to Nerd Con was difficult with just one ute and having to make several trips to and fro. So, this time we only brought two machines: Fish Tales (Williams, 1992) and Demolition Man (Williams, 1994).
