The Seasoned Vet Keith Elwin
2 hr 16 min listenTL;DRKeith Elwin journey from pinball champion to Stern designer examined through competitive legacy and homebrew prototype.
Check out Flip N Out Pinball for all your pinball needs! Topic begins at 12:28 Pinball has had a dramatic change since the end of the modern DMD era at Stern. The designers we all know and love from the 80s and 90s have begun to retire, slow down, or leave the industry. A new wave of designers has started to slide in and learn from the masters… The first major new designer to come along was the tournament player Keith Elwin. Some say Keith Elwin is the second coming of our lord and saviour Steve Ritchie. Others say 'in Elwin we trust'… but is that all hype? Has Keith Elwin changed the pinball designer game as much as some believe? Join us this month as we chat about the second coming golden age of pinball, Keith's dominance of tournament pinball, his deep understanding of repair, play, code, and design, his first pin, and his second smash hit follow-up!

Pinball Expo 2025 is almost here, and this year’s lineup might be one of the biggest yet.

We’ll cover the hottest new titles hitting the floor for the first time — Portal by P3 Multimorphic, Dune by Barrels of Fun, Predator by Pinball Brothers, and Stern’s Star Wars: Fall of the Empire. The homebrew scene is bigger than ever, with even more space dedicated to creative passion projects, while Spooky Pinball looks to showcase Evil Dead and maybe even tease Beetlejuice.

Where’s My Alien Pinball Topper!? @PinballBrothers & @liorillusion
I hate to get up on my soap box but I would really like my topper please! In 2023 The Art of Pinball held a costume contest and the first place prize was the Alien Pinball Topper for the game made by Pinball Brothers. Well here we are in 2025 and I still haven’t received my topper. I’ve contacted both Art of Pinball and Pinball Brothers about the issue and no one seems to have any answers. I’ve resorted to spamming their comment sections and making this video to gain some attention. I know Pinball Brothers is busy with the release of the Predator Pinball Machine but I feel like they should be able to just send me this topper and wrap this situation up rather quickly. I don’t know what the point of all this is, I guess just to make others aware of what is going on and maybe to gain the attention of Lior from Art of Pinball and Daniel Jansson from Pinball Brothers.
