The annual EAG amusement show opens on Tuesday, but we have an early preview of the pinballs from the show's set-up on Monday.

So far only Stern Pinball's distributor Electrocoin have pinballs on their stand.

The new Spider-Man Vault Edition is here, along with a Star Trek Pro, Kiss Pro and Game of Thrones Pro.

The Spider-Man will most likely draw the most attention when the show opens.

Heighway Pinball also has a large stand at the show, but they will not be setting up until first thing Tuesday morning. They are expected to have a number of Full Throttle machines and some reveals for Alien, their second title.

With The Hobbit not yet shipping and a long backlog of orders, there is no presence this year by Jersey Jack Pinball or their distributor Pinball Heaven.

Elsewhere on the show floor - and totally unrelated to pinball, of course - another licence is proving to be popular in the amusement world.

We'll be back at EAG tomorrow to bring you our usual comprehensive Pinball News report, but that wraps up this preview. Thanks to Gary Flower for the pictures.
