Episode 11 of the Pinheadz PODcast takes you on a virtual tour of the 2014 Australian Pinball EXPO in Sydney! Rod, Gaz & Pintech Stevie meet pinheadz from around the world, bump into famous Aussie pinball personalities & actually stop to play some pinball.

From some of the rarest games on the planet to some of the most popular, the closest you’ll come to experiencing the largest collection of pinball machines made available to the public in the Southern Hemisphere is this episode!

ALSO following a drama filled month for the boutique pinball manufacturers we’ll check in for a status report on everyone’s pre-orders.

What’s the likelihood of STERN switching to color displays in 2015? Gary Stern provides the answer.

We’ll reveal the super rare DATA EAST pin that’s currently on the market for $50,000! And following the ‘objectification of women’ controversy surrounding STERN Pinball’s announcement that they’ll be manufacturing the “Whoa Nellie – Big Juicy Melons” machine in 2015…we hear from the game’s artist!

With 9 of the TOP 10 grossing film franchises in history already having been made into pinball machines, are there any valuable film franchise licences left?

In this episode we discover there’s one less title available to pinball manufacturers with Heighway Pinball’s announcement that they’re putting ALIEN PINBALL into production! UK pinball king & Heighway Pinball president Andrew Heighway joins us for the big news.

Normally that’s about as big as it gets, but in the month just gone, Chicago’s 30th annual pinball EXPO had more big announcements & surprises than any other pinball expo for years!

Amongst the CHICAGO EXPO highlights, Dutch Pinball’s THE BIG LEBOWSKI has landed on US soil! Do pinheadz like what they see?

ALSO, Electromechanical pinball returns with WIZ BANG PINBALL’s Whoa Nellie going into production at STERN?

We’ll find out how the magic of the EM era is coming back to modern pinball. PLUS the days of the Orange dot matrix display are numbered…COLORDMD announces their first STERN color display – LORD OF THE RINGS.

ANOTHER new game is being announced this episode with Jersey Jack’s THE HOBBIT GOLD prototype revealed! MEANWHILE 14,000 kilometres away from Chicago on Australia’s Gold Coast, one of the country’s most talented maxillofacial surgeons is spreading the pinball word!

AND the good news that we MAY BE one step closer to realising the dream of a Ghostbusters pinball machine. We’ll ALSO confirm which BALLY Williams classics are going back into production thanks to Planetary Pinball, the end of an era with the final STERN factory tour and lots more pin spotting with NEW instalments of “Pinball Appearances In Pop Culture”.

Despite a legendary history, horror themed pinball machines have been conspicuously absent from the new pinball landscape this millennium. But just when it looked like the death of the genre…STERN Pinball has announced their newest title – The Walking Dead!

Special guest & Horror/Sci Fi pinball aficionado Charlie Emery joins us for a look at the genre’s place in pinball history. As well as talking about, playing & collecting them, Charlie is leading the charge of boutique pinball manufacturers building new games. But, how long till he starts loading a container bound for Australia?

With the new Homepin THUNDERBIRDS pinball machine on the way, we take a look at what’s inside the boxes being shipped out of their manufacturing facility in China this month.

Pintech Stevie’s Super Tip is so obvious you’d have to be crazy not to do it…fit Cliffy hole protectors to your game or risk total playfield annihilation. So why are some people not doing it?

This episode’s Pinball Appearances in Popular Culture features scenes from Greg The Bunny starring Seth Green, an awesome Waylon Jennings narration of Dukes Of Hazzard & The Bachelor Australia…plus some more obscure sightings.

And we’ll find out why people are freaking out over JAWS in 2014!
