Not many changes this year.

Haven’t got enough space for the pins I’ve got and I don’t like letting them go.

Out:
Avengers (on loan)

In:
BOP Project
King Tut project
(Both of which need the Pinball shed finishing so I can start working on them. )
Iron man (on loan)

In & out:
GoT LE (on loan)
WPT (on loan)

Went to as many shows and tournaments as I could. Looking forward to Neil’s place this weekend.

2019 will probably be more of the same, although I’m feeling more inclined to start letting them go more so I can get more different pins in and play them to death.

The biggest change for me this year was moving to a larger flat. We're still in fairly Central London so space is at a premium, but went from room for two machines in the living room of the old place to a dedicated room that can fit five machines here which has been very exciting. Of course I had several machines stored at a friends place and one NIB on order when we moved so the room had four the day we moved in and a fifth a few weeks later!

In:
TNA
Batman 66

Out:
TWDLE (to a friends place awaiting collection from buyer in New Year)

None unfortunately, really wanted to go to Pinfest but life got in the way. Hoping to change that this year.
