LEGO Ideas – Lego Pinball Machines

July 3, 2020 By ausretrogamer

It is definitely no secret we love featuring LEGO Ideas on this site, especially the ones with a retro gaming flavour. Well, these two LEGO Ideas entrants scratch our other itch – pinball!

Just take a look at the Lego Pinball Machine by TheAmazingCreator and The Lego Pinball Machine by Nachapon submissions – they are pretty darn cool. TheAmazingCreator’s entry is fairly simple when compared to Nachapon’s creation, which has a packed and intriguing playfield, just like a real pinball machine. We like both.

So if you love one or both, make sure you submit your vote now!

Dreamy Custom Pinball Tables

June 26, 2015 By Ms. ausretrogamer

After the Australian 2015 Timezone Supanova Pinball Championship Victorian State Final and Cramer’s Pinball Tournament, we have gone a bit pinball mad! Although we love the traditional tables, we are in awe of these amazing custom machines.

They call this table ‘The Goonies’

Mike Johnson from Orlando, FL has built a beautiful custom The Goonies pinball table for the film’s 30th anniversary (yes, 30th anniversary!). It’s really hard to believe no one has made one before.

Order that pinball table a red cap and a speedo

Wes Anderson has designed a new cafe in Milan, called Bar Luce and it’s gorgeous (no surprise!). Most beautiful of all are the custom pinball machines based on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and short film Castello Cavalcanti.

The pinball machine that really ties the room together, or ‘f**k it, let’s play pinball’

The Big Lebowski custom pinball table is not only fantastic (it will feature original movie clips and movie quotes in the game), but is soon to be available to buy from manufacturer Dutch Pinball!

Bite my shiny metal balls

This one-off Futurama: Space 3000 table was made in a mere 6 months by Evan K. from Seattle using the shell of an old Superman machine and a Futurama Space Pilot movie poster – wow! Check out how he did it.

Don’t cross the flippers!

Brian Stahl, or ‘Betelgeuse’ as he’s known on forums, built this amazing custom Ghostbusters table in 14 months from a worn out Flash Gordon machine. The soundboard contains over 40 quotes and music from the movie. Why has this not been made before?!
