Big thanks to Nick @mufcmufc for bringing it over and congratulations on both challenging and defeating the robots of Zaccaria
Robots is a really fun game
Had this from Manny for if I ever get a Jersey league going. If not it looks awesome anyway.
My first go at importing games from Europe was delivered 10 mins ago. What is the mystery game under all of the wrapping.....it's a rare one that's for sure
Good to know the gamble came off and the game got delivered.
Looking forward to the pics.

Nice to see arrived OK Chris, always a relief when they appear intact. Now get it opened !!
Alright alright so you guys all know what it is. I fricking don't so spill the beans 
Da da da daaa daaa da da da daaa daaa - and so on... (I'll leave it to Chris to tell you exactly what it is - looks bonkers!)
So I've unwrapped it and got the cab on it's legs. Not figured out how to attached the head safely yet and I'm already a couple of beers down so am going to leave it for tonight and come back to it in the morning @teachp8 you and John might be helping me get it going tomorrow
The game in question is Star Wars by Sonic. It's a Spanish made game from 1987 and I'd never even heard of it before I bought it. I don't think many were produced and even less survive to this day so definitely the rarest game I've ever owned The playfield is plastic with the art screen printed on the back so it should clean up really nicely. The laser thing in the middle looks like metal strips from above but underneath the playfield is a trough with lights at one end so I'm wondering whether there's some sort of laser shooting effect The game looked cool in the pictures I was sent but it's even better in person

Looks great - loving the kitchen games room look! so you'll be using that to have breakfast on in the morning????
your missus is gonna have your ******** for breakfast
Luckily she doesn't live here so as long as it's back to only 3 pinballs machines in the kitchen the next time she's round then I should be ok
After a few more beers I thought I'd tinker with the game a bit more....that's when you do your best work isn't it? Got the head to stay on (sort of), checked all the connectors, stuck a UK plug on it and.......IT LIVES!!!!!
It plays the cheesiest/most awesome version of the Star Wars theme ever when you first power it on and also when you hit the ramp shot. It seems to play and most of the switches work but it's pretty dirty and I have no idea what's going on. The good news is that all the plastics look good and the displays all work which along with the plastic playfield should mean that I've not got to hunt down any unobtanium parts for it. Sonic/Segasa use copies of Williams parts for their mechs so it should be possible to get stuff to make it play nice again.
All in all, a successful importing experiment

Nice to hear.... now we want video. Suppose can wait till you've cleaned it up though.

El Flippo!! Bloody hell Chris, you sure do find em. I only found out it existed recently too. Next challenge.... Empire strikes back!!
After Ronsplooter's remarkable delivery this will seem a bit tame. My first go at LEDing my first SS machine. Bulbs from the very helpful Pinball-LED.co.uk who give list members 10% discount. I think the blue on the playfield must be reflections from the eyes because I didn't put anything blue down there!
Barracora is a thing of beauty and a great rule set.
I would love to own one some day.

Got these subs a few days ago. After acquiring a Tron recently with an active sub anyone who has played it has been floored by the difference. So I've added one to Star Trek and Avatar. Glad my house is detached

Looking forward to seeing and playing this ! Glad all worked out.
Great minds think alike. I also want to upgrade the speakers on RW as part of refurb Chris. Suggestions?
shouldn't one of your "looking for pins" be removed
Not until it arrives.... safely.
