    Eeek. It’s not an investment. While values have traditionally held or gone up, things are weird now and prices are on the decline. If you overpay, don’t expect that you can easily find someone else to do the same ;)

    New Pinballer

    If you are looking to spend 5k for something that isn’t ancient, you will probably have to get what you can, as opposed to what you want. You could get something recognizable more easily if your budget was 7-8k. That amount would get you into the Stern Pro range for certain titles like Star...

    Medieval Madness Merlin Edition

    I agree it's fun to play a simpler game now and then. I also enjoyed our CCr while we had it, although I enjoyed MMr more. My wife preferred CCr and misses that one.

    Medieval Madness Merlin Edition

    It's the same as the previous version except for the powdercoat color. I was hoping for something a little more unique, not that I'd get one any way since I had the RE and sold it after a few years. Great game but I honestly don't miss it. While the pinnacle of late 90's design, it just doesn't...

    TIP Multimorphic releases Portal

    I think the extended kit is more about BOM. Forcing people to buy a 5500$ module or nothing would not be a good thing. Now they give an option similar to Stern with basic (Pro) and extended (Premium) and both are coded a little different to compensate.

    TIP Multimorphic releases Portal

    For HH,iIt was likely a consequence of having 8 flippers (4/side). Too many on 1 circuit. They had to separate them on pairs of buttons/side. In any case I have a P3 and I can assure you that your brain will figure it out. But you don’t have to if you don’t want to. That’s the cool part :) For...

    TIP Multimorphic releases Portal

    They can be set up that way. There's a button box sold by Pinball Life that has that ability with a toggle switch. You can select independant buttons or staged upper flippers like other games. The staged thing is good for newbs or people with limited coordination TBH. It impedes the gameplay too...

    TIP Multimorphic releases Portal

    You can check multimorphic.com but here’s a quick look. Prices in USD: Module: $3900 Extended kit: $1600 External cabinet artwork is extra if buying just the module. Buy what you need/want. Personally I never change the art. There is also an optional $750 interactive topper. Full machine with...

    I think so. Depends on the tariffs of course.

    TIP Multimorphic releases Portal

    Looks pretty cool. Whiners about an "empty" lower playfield will probably still find a way to complain but haters will hate lol. A reminder that in case anyone is interested in the machine, they can get 1000$ off if referred by a P3 owner. I can refer you. Full disclosure: I would also get...

    I have a Stern with over 5k plays on it and the only failure has been coil stops within the first 100 plays.

    The whole dimplegate thing has been debunked as well. Claims that older playfields didn't dimple have been proven false by ppl that were actually alive and operating those games when they were popular. The dimpling evens out after tens of thousands of plays. We are seeing revisionist history...

    Bally wizard reset

    Electro-Mechanical games require maintenance. You can expect other things to fail or not work correctly - this is just the start. Your game likely needs a "tune-up". If you don't know what you are doing you will make it worse or ruin it. Don't use just any file or sand paper if you are doing...

    If it was any other recent LE I'd agree... But it's still a LZ.... :( It's the one game that both my wife and I agreed sucked. We had a Prem on temp trade for a few months. We just couldn't get into it. The music is good. That's about it. Game play just didn't feel fun. don't ask me to explain...

    Insider Connect, worth it?

    Had to add it separately to SW and JP as they were built before IC. No regrets. It makes my wife play more as well when there are badges or events going on. The “race” over Dec/January made my wife play like never before. She made it to the top 100 of the top tier by the last week of it. That...
