March 09038: Building a Home Pinball Collection With $15K
This week on the Punk Rock Pinball Podcast, we’re building the ultimate starter home pinball collection with a $15,000 budget. Mike and Steph break down the games they’d buy, the mix of modern and older machines they’d want in the lineup, and why some underrated titles might be the smartest buys in pinball right now.
In this episode:
Our picks for the best 3 to 4 pinball machines to start a home collection with $15K
Why games like Venom, Bond, Firepower, JackBot, and Earthshaker still deserve more love
A recap of a wild week of league nights, tournaments, Pokémon on location, and Steph’s win at Poor Bros.
We also talk about CJ hauling Pokémon Pro all over Bloomington so everyone could get time on it, Mike winning qualifying at First Fridays, and whether we are officially playing an unsustainable amount of competitive pinball. If you’ve ever dreamed about starting your own collection and wondered how far $15,000 can really go, this one’s for you.

The Punk Rock Pinball Podcast is back with what we think is Episode 34, and Marshall is here too… kind of. (If you’re watching the video, he bails on the chair almost immediately. If you’re listening, just know he’s nearby doing dog stuff.)
This week we’ve got big PRPA updates, including the launch of the Women’s Punk Rock Pinball Association (WPRPA) and a brand-new women’s leaderboard built to create a more welcoming, confidence-building space for women to jump into competitive pinball. We also talk about why “women’s divisions” exist in the first place, why the vibe is different (and awesome), and how this helps grow the game for everyone.
Then we get into the main topic: scenes. Punk scenes, pinball scenes, bowling scenes, whatever you’ve got. We break down how scenes actually grow (spoiler: it’s not algorithms, it’s people), why most scenes eventually die or splinter, and what you can do to keep your local community thriving. We talk DIY culture, organizers vs. critics, constructive feedback, and why supporting the spaces that host your tournaments matters more than most people realize.
In this episode:
WPRPA is live: why it matters, how it works, and where to find the new leaderboard
PRPA “scene-based” localized leaderboards are coming soon (city/region scenes, not state lines)
How scenes grow, how scenes die, and the simplest ways to help yours survive
We wrap by shouting out friends making moves on the tournament trail, plugging the idea of bringing one new person into pinball this year, and reminding everyone that if you want pinball locations to stick around, you have to show up, play, and support them. Also: we tease a future episode that’s basically going to be Pokémon all the time.

A weird week in the country, so we used pinball as the distraction and ran through a stacked PRPA calendar, leaderboard movement, and why Star Wars: Fall of the Empire is absolutely ripping at HQ.
PRPA events everywhere: Madison/Middleton, South Burlington VT, HQ league, Galesburg, Crete, Duluth, Girard OH, and pinolf at Logan Arcade
Leaderboard update: a tie at the top, Cat Davis is grinding like a maniac, and Mike is somehow sitting at #4
HQ highlights: Fall of the Empire is immersive, loud, and winning people over (plus talk of Twitch, streaming plans, and the April Bands vs Fans-style event)
This episode starts in a real mood. You can hear it. We talk about how heavy everything feels right now, and why we’re not trying to make this a political episode, but also why we’re not going to pretend we’re fine. Then we do what we always do when life feels loud: we lean into community, events, and pinball as a reset.
From there it turns into a full-on PRPA rundown, including the first-ever Vermont PRPA tournament at Pinball Co-op, a packed Midwest week of tournaments, and the idea of bringing pinolf to HQ (we need Cheryl’s rules). We also hype the April 18 ticketed band tournament day with Off With Their Heads, Toys That Kill, and Panel, plus the show at Meltdown Creative Works, the limited 20 tickets, the $50 price point, and the whole “punk bands in the bracket” chaos we’re trying to build.
We wrap with a bunch of lifestyle chaos (auction drop-offs, Fiesta Ware, a sports card show, Pokémon pinball speculation), a shoutout to Corey Grim’s Planet of the Apes AI joke post that went huge, and then the big one: Fall of the Empire at HQ. Mike goes on a righteous rant about why the game works, why it’s more immersive than Harry Potter, and why the “go get bent” crowd missed what makes it fun. Marshall disappears for most of the episode… then returns right at the end like the star he is.
