Date: 11th January, 2016 Location: ExCel London, Docklands, London, UK Pictures: Gary Flower 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 Electrocoin stand The new Spider-Man Vault Edition is here, along with a Star Trek Pro, Kiss Pro and Game of Thrones Pro. Stern pinballs on the Electrocoin stand The Spider-Man will most likely draw the most attention when the show opens.
