    Upcoming Game Rumors

    I can't see a spike 2 upgrade to metallica or GB. If there was a vault release, I'd bet on it being basically the same hardware as before. I believe the IM and SM vaults were still SAM games when we were well into Spike1 era. I'd also assume that as long as the current stuff is selling...

    Stern Plunger Assemblies: Broken Plastic Tips

    Stern won't cover that under warranty for a NIB game? No way should that fail that soon. If that happened to me, I might try 3d printing my own replacement tip. The epoxy could also work. Can't really see how you'd be able to do any more damage that way. Worst case is it breaks again...

    Next Stern Pin... Fighting Soon!

    Got to play an LE last night, and can confirm that the post save is VERY missable. Flow is good though-the upper PF didn't seem to add a whole lot from what I saw in the one game I had on it, but definitely looking forward to playing more of it. No problems with the right side turnaround...

    Next Stern Pin... Fighting Soon!

    Fair, if it's designed as a skill save as well as a ball save then that's another big difference between the versions. Thought there might be code in there to compensate in case it failed to bounce as designed. If it's the same rules that activate the outlane save on the pro, then that could...

    Next Stern Pin... Fighting Soon!

    OK, that's what I figured based on the stream, but good to know it flows the same way. Any idea whether the death save post is compensated in the code? I'm assuming that this is just implemented as a ball save on the pro (which I think I hit), so I'd assume that if the outlane save is active...

    Next Stern Pin... Fighting Soon!

    Stopped by P1 on Friday to try out the new games, and I really like the layout on FF. Only real complaint so far is that the shots that go around that turnaround on the right seem to go way out of control, but that seems like it's just a matter of dialing in the incline on the game. Has anyone...

    FS DRAPL STORE - PINBALLLEDS.CA

    Just got a set of those, and they work great. The art blades on a couple of my games have gotten gouged a little by raising and lowering the PF, so hopefully these help prevent that in the future.

    FS AIQ Premium (reduced)

    Me three. Seriously, this is one of the best new Sterns out there-it has a ton of stuff going on.

    Price check tmnt pro

    To be fair, those are all DMD games, and were released much cheaper. Star Trek is now 10 years old (2013), and Walking Dead is 9 (2014), so not sure those count as "newer" games anymore. True, they're newer than 90s games (which are now at or pushing 30), but I think list on a ST pro was...

    Foo fighters spinner opto

    Does it work in test, or just not register at all? Assuming all the wires are connected, it could just be DOA. Call Stern support-they'll sort you out.

    Any Dags on here and in the GTA? Event coming!

    OK, in that case you're going to at minimum need someone to supply games. You'd also want to look for something simple you can run-maybe just a high score/leaderboard that people can take a stab at? That way it can all be asynchronous too. If you use the new IC enabled Sterns, you might be...

    I'd assume the LEs would be running next, no, unless those are already out?

    Any Dags on here and in the GTA? Event coming!

    So you're looking to run a pinball tournament as part of a corporate event? Are you looking for a location to go to, or did you want something set up somewhere else? How many people/games are you talking about? Is this for pinball people/tournament players, or will this be a bunch of people...

    Windsor Essex Pinball League thoughts?

    Nowhere close to me, but sounds like a good idea. Feel free to reach out directly, or ask questions here if you've got them on operating a pinball league. You can get started with just a few people-these things tend to grow as you get word of mouth going.

    Pulp Fiction from CGC

    Looking at the video again, I'd missed the ball lock behind a 3 bank in the middle of the game. A little bit of IJ in there? At least they're angled this time, so hopefully not as drain-heavy. Looking forward to playing it. Don't think it's a game I'll rush out to own, but surprised that...

    Forget Foo & Godfather...GTF!!!

    One of those games that I'm interested in trying out, and would put money in on location, but don't really feel a need to own. Looks like Josh Sharpe was involved in the rules design, so the game might have some depth as well. Seems a little more interesting than the Whoa Nellie/Primus...
