    FS FREE official playfield from Stern with your next Purchase at NITRO PINBALL!

    Ah, so they are all seconds and not new playfields? Good to know. Still a neat promo!

    TIP 007 Scuba Kicker Mod

    It seems to work as advertised, and does make the game flow a little easier, since there's one less wild return. I've played maybe a half dozen games on an LE with one of these on it.

    Next JJP - Avatar

    Got to play a few games on this last night at TOPL (thanks again to Sam and Nick for bringing it out for the event), and it's pretty good. It definitely looks good, and the screen, sounds, and lights are top notch. Always a strength with JJP games. Lots of long shots on the playfield though...

    The Uncanny X-Men Trailer

    From the stream it looked like the Danger room played OK-it seemed reasonably easy to get out of with that ramp shot (or bouncing past the pop bumper), you can stage flip that flipper, you can cradle over there, and I even saw a right outlane power drain make it over there, so there's lots of...

    Next JJP - Avatar

    Well, keep in mind that a lot of WOZ buyers got in at 6500 with a bunch of risk, and Hobbit was a 7500 preorder. That was also at par dollars for the most part back then. If I'd have had to pay 9k for a Hobbit at current exchange, I would have lost a bunch of money when I sold mine. The...

    LCD Playfield

    Has multimorphic ever shown off components that can sit on top of the lower part of the PF? I know that Heist had pieces that extended over it, but I don't think I've ever seen a piece that can affix lower down somehow. I get the design consideration for fast swap and easier storage, so I can...

    The Uncanny X-Men Trailer

    It seems like there's not a lot of impact to gameplay. The up/down on the sentinel doesn't seem to go flush with the PF, so it's not going to change that shot geometry much. Seems like it'll operate as a bash toy in either position, and it still has the mouth/kicker on the pro, so that feature...

    The Uncanny X-Men Trailer

    First impression is definitely good, but I want to flip one before committing. Ideally, I want to try both the pro and premium to see whether the missing stuff matters, but from what I can see the pro might actually be just as complete? The sentinel hands seem to be able to function as ball...

    The Next Stern - The Uncanny X-men

    Will be interested to see what the art for this one looks like. The last X-Men game was solidly in the Jim Lee 90s era, which is when I got into the comics, so I was interested enough to get an LE (that, and you could get an LE NIB for less than 8k all in back then). I sold the game a while...

    Stern Jaws

    It's a little weird that the revenge/challenge modes are connected to collecting shark teeth from the main game. Is there an adjustment to make those free play, or do you always have to have enough on your account?

    Very Cool Old Pins Auction

    That was cool just to flip through the listings. Nothing I'd really care about owning, but some interesting art. It still amazes me to go back through some of those lists of games to see just how many different games got released.

    FOUND Jurassic Park Premium

    Yes, it is. It's a great game to try to get progression in. I still play mine quite a bit.

    Stern Jaws

    I've played way more Godzilla than Jaws, but I can see what you mean. GZ can get to be long if you can chain things together, but you do feel like you've earned everything along the way. I'd still like to get a Jaws at some point, but they aren't coming up used, and I'm not really interested...

    FS Stern Venom Limited Edition Pinball - New Condition

    Last time I was at P1, they had a venom LE in the showroom, so if you want to try it out and you're in the area, you should be able to. Not a bad game, and from what I've read, it's got an interesting IC implementation where you can save progress across games.

    Shooter Rods

    I think they're glued. I know Brock used to get blank rods from Pinball Life back when he made custom ones. One possibility might be to make something in two halves that goes over the existing knob.

    Haggis Pinball goes dark

    Last time I was in there they had a wall full of demo machines marked down. Some decent deals there, but sadly, no Jaws (I suppose that's one of the games that's selling). If nothing else, you can go check them out in person.

    John Wick Launch Party @ Streetsville Bowl August 1st.

    What's the tournament format?

    Stern Godzilla 70th Announced!

    If I could upgrade my pro to a premium for $1k or so I probably would, but it's not a priority by any means. Pro on GZ shoots the same, and doesn't feel like anything is missing.

    New TOPL season starts Monday July 15 at Luch's place

    Hey everyone we just wrapped up the third season of 2024, and we're rolling right into the next one next week. If you've ever been interested in trying out league play, or if it's been a while since you've played in TOPL, come on out and check out some of the best collections in the GTA, and...

    3D file for flipper button cabinet protector?

    You're thinking of something like this? I've seen a few people selling those, and it looks like they just get held on by the flipper buttons and the tab under the side rail. In this case, it also looks like a 2-layer thing (rather than being multicolor). I haven't actually designed my own...
