The "Today I received" Thread

[SteadyP]

Finally- my sister-in-law who’s based in NYC remembered to bring over a t-shirt I ordered from Stern last year . Didn’t realise Jonny Crap drew the art - on closer inspection, the astronaut is playing DE Laser Wars

 

[Den - aka Wolfgang]

This arrived today.....
I know what you are thinking; "why has this guy put an Ellen DeGeneres shooter rod on his pin?.." - I like what I like o.k!.....

Got the DocQuest LCD screen for my new Elvira..

Royal Mail claiming it was damaged when it got to UK..

Tried loads of desoldering kit this (so far) is the best I have used even though it looks terrible

Enjoyed IMDN gameplay, rules and music first time round but didn’t get into the overall theme that much. Technically not received today but machine was picked up today so seems a good time to crack this open and see if it helps my attachment to the theme.

Many thanks Davey @stumblor - even one of the dogs was interested. Now need to find time to fir it.

Ok, not today but been too busy playing! Iron Maiden came back into the line up last week. Just waiting for FF and I’m full for a while…maybe

Shein sell very cheap motion detection LED string lights that are battery powered so no lose cables. They stay lit for less than a minute which is perfect so the batteries should last a while.


Much brighter than they appear in the photo I just opened the door so I could get the inserts in focus.

NIB pinball machine, about all I can afford at the minute, although the £40 customs charge was a shock!

Crux Puzzles in Edinburgh has a 60% off offer on Rokr 3D models at the mo, but they don't have this one unfortunately.

Can we expect a ship log?

I love the look of this kit, but in all seriousness we haven't got space to display / play it - just like normal pins.

Hope it's as fun as it looks

My kitchen tool drawer was ready to burst so inspired by @Colywobbles purchase last year (https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/the-today-i-received-thread.14471/page-189#post-470701) I decided to buy one myself. Still plenty of room left for some other bits and bobs and the seat and side flaps will come in handy.

£125 at Amazon but got mine from workshopping.co.uk for £114, free delivery and arrived next day.

I opted for WD-40 rather than beer in the drinks holder, gets you loaded quicker .

I keep getting tempted by these but I have such a mishmash of tools it wouldn't look nice with all the screwdrivers like yours

A trip to the powdercoaters to pick up various brackets for my WCS. All went in rusty and corroded. Now time to put it all back together.
