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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far only Stern Pinball’s distributor Electrocoin have pinballs on their stand.<\/p>\n

The Spider-Man<\/em> will most likely draw the most attention when the show opens.<\/p>\n

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<\/em> machines and some reveals for Alien<\/em>, their second title.<\/p>\n

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

Elsewhere on the show floor – and totally unrelated to pinball, of course – another licence is proving to be popular in the amusement world.<\/p>\n
