No way I'm spending 3k on the topper (although I would like to see how it looks in action), but I got the $700 expression lights. Definitely a neat upgrade, and something you can see more often while you're playing. Definitely easier to install the lights before the stickers though-not sure...

I bought these remote controlled outlets for my games ages ago, and I noticed the velcro that was holding the remote to the wall was starting to tear the paint off, so I made this today. Nothing too fancy, but I did make countersink cutouts for the mounting screws:

Never seen those-each of them would be game specific though. Looks like a simple enough shape-what are you trying to cover up?

These ones have dividers in them: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-metal-stackable-wall-mountable-43-drawers-cabinet-20x12x6-in-0581023p.0581023.html?rq=parts+storage+drawer#srp I have a couple of those, and printed labels for each drawer so I know what's in them. I've also got...

Anyone ordered a set of Expression Lights from P1 yet? I saw Nitro has them up on the web at $695, so assuming the same price at P1.

So there's a new multiball that is tied to all the band member combos, but you can play it with or without the topper. The topper lets you carry over progress, but it's not gated content. I don't think those combos have inserts, although I'm assuming they're in the status report like on JP...

I might end up getting the expression lights if distro price is reasonable. I like them on the LE, and it's something you see more than the topper. I finally saw the BKSOR topper at Maple, and it's really cool, but hard to pay attention to if you're playing. I'm looking forward to seeing what...

Nice to see a code update from them-it seems like they've been kind of few and far between for a while. I still feel kind of bad for POTC owners never getting that game finished.

Hey everyone, just a heads up that the next TOPL season starts Monday March 11, 2024, at Nick's place. For those that don't already know, we're trying out a tweak to the format where we're playing a 7 week season followed by a playoff tournament on week 8 (instead of the old 13 week season with...

OK, that looks really cool. I need to do some more digging though-that video didn't have any of the roms installed, but from the sound of things you need a separate controller to play the games in there (i.e. you can't use the quest controllers)? I wonder if there's a way to get light gun...

If I remember correctly, @necro_nemesis has restored a bunch of jukeboxes.

The multiple toppers/side art etc seems to make more sense if you were putting the game out on location somewhere, or even taking it to shows, but at home, even changing/storing the artwork seems like a lot. Maybe if you're only doing one or two changeovers a year? Another great theme, but I...

So what's the difference going to be between spike 2 and 3? It it just an upgraded main board, and all the node boards are the same? Given the way things are distributed in Spike games, that seems like the only thing that would need a significant upgrade. What CPU is on that board? I'd have...

OK, so not something I'm just imagining. They're clearly on the list though, so maybe that means Stern is open to more dealers in Canada now? Probably oversimplifying a lot, but I do wonder whether any of it has to do with Gary not being in charge anymore. The exclusive territory thing is an...

I remember hearing at one point that P1 had exclusivity on Stern in Canada, and that Nitro had to get their Stern stock through them. Is that not true anymore?
