I love Capcom Pins. I don't know why... Maybe it has something to do with their limited availability, the limited production runs,
the fact that there are only four models of Capcom machines (five if you count the impossible 10 to 13 existing Big Bang Bar prototypes). I have planned to eventually
own all three Capcom machines, and the purchase of Airborne was not exactly planned at the current time. I went to an auction and they had two
Capcom machines. An Airborne, and a Breakshot! I wanted the Airborne more than I wanted the Breakshot at the time, so I bid on the Airborne.
Somehow, nobody bid against me. I won! Nearly in shock, but very excited, I was now the proud owner of my first Capcom pinball! Now, if only
I could find a cheap Pinball Magic, I'd be all set. Breakshot can wait. Anyway, I hear the new Illinois Pinball Company may be re-running Breakshot
as a game called Pool Player. If they do, I'd rather buy it New-In-Box than get one used. I gotta hop on these New-In-Box opportunities while they
last, 'cause you never know when there won't be any more chances for new machines.
Here are some pictures of my Airborne machine.
