In this episode Alan and Alex talk about the rise of the little guys in pinball, and what it means to have so many small and independent pinball makers.  We discuss our experiences with some of these manufacturers and their games from both the operator and the home collector's perspective, and we talk about some of the positive and some of the negative aspects of this rapid rise in small scale pinball manufacturing.It's a brave new world in the number of active pinball manufacturers, and we talk about what to expect, and what to avoid when buying boutique games in general.As always, we're adults here so there's some swear words in this episode.
