Collector Fantasies Show Mechelen 2006

It's time again for the Collector Fantasies show in Mechelen. The 2006 edition was earlier on the year then previous years, now it was in the weekend of 11 and 12 February (usually it's at the end of March or even in April)

But the rest of the show wasn't changed a lot. It looked like there were more exhibitors, and some more pinball machines were for sale. Not a lot more, but some people who're not pinball dealers had brought a few machines to sell too.

New Stern pinball machines

Main attraction of the show were the new Stern pinball machines. Between two Grand Prix machines (that not a lot of people had played) was a brand new prototype World Poker Tour pinball game. It was flown in especially for the show and only arrived on Friday..
The game was popular, it was being played all day long and usually some people were gathering around it waiting to play (I even didn't have the opportunity to play it unfortunately, so no game review yet..
