    New Mod: Stern Magnet Decals!

    So, any X-Men decals yet? :) If nothing else, this would be a great replacement for doing mylar over the magnets. I also noticed last night that CV had an exposed magnet up by the juggler lock, but like TZ it's pretty well hidden (which is probably why that one's exposed and the ringmaster one...

    The Demolition Man Discussion

    I definitely had fun with it, but for some reason I didn't come back to it as often as my other games. Sold it to help pay for a TZ, and don't regret it at all. I do kind of miss it though-I've at least been able to still play most of the other games I've sold, but Demomans are pretty...

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! Ah, never noticed that on LOTR before-they must all have that by now.

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! Just curious-what was the fix? Not really surprised though given the airballs off the drop target on TFLE. Given that happened off the first shot to that thing, I can't imagine that it didn't happen in test.

    Where do you get your pinball parts?

    Starburst can also order from Rottendog-a great way to save a few bucks on a single part for sure.

    Where do you get your pinball parts?

    I'll go with Pinball life if possible and I have a big enough order, or I'll just go to starburst if I need one thing quickly. I've also ordered electronics stuff from Great Plains, and bits from Marco when PBL doesn't have them. Haven't really been screwed over yet, but shipping is damn...

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! LE Gameplay video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uwfOALXmVSA Looks pretty good-between avengers modes, tesseract, Loki MB, and shield, looks like there could be some interesting combinations of stuff to try to run...

    X-Men

    Dammit, I didn't know you had to FINISH all of the heroes to get to Danger room-I thought it was just start them all (like with SoS/Portal on Tron, where you get a chance to pick things up afterwards). Actually-random question for those that have done it-if you play Danger room, and then...

    What's your angle?

    True, which is usually the hardest part of leveling there. Still, you can usually eyeball it pretty well, or line up with a pf feature. I still think it'd be more accurate than what you'd get by using the front of the cabinet or the head though, right? I wonder why Williams never put a...

    I forgot how much the general public sucks at pinball

    Yup, it's pretty sad sometimes. At least some people in my family have caught on, but some still have no idea what's happening, doing things like hitting both flippers at once, and not even knowing where the ball is. Lots of times when I have people over, I'll invariably end up with a credit...

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! I still like the superhero thing, but it would have been awesome to have one of the LEs be a comic book themed version. That's one of the things I really liked about X-Men. Other possibility-some extra "A vs X" mode that unlocked if you...

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! OK, true, but most of those aren't stuff that you can't add later on, unlike the PF features. Did they release pics of the premium cabinet yet? I don't remember seeing it with the others.

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! True, but at least with X-Men, we got to play it at the CPCs when it was first available. Launch party probably won't be until the Pro is out, and if you play that and decide you want an LE, then you're probably out of luck. At least...

    Stern AVENGERS: NOW IN STOCK!

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: Available for delivery NEXT WEEK! Any idea whether there'll be one set up anywhere to try out? Also, they haven't said anything about the Premium pricing, have they?

    What's your angle?

    That digital level is awesome-used it just the other night to verify that my CV is, in fact, perfectly level side to side. I suppose the real question is-how do you use it? I usually try to go right on the PF (between the slings, once higher up), and then do the pitch. I'll usually start...

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Had everyone over to my place last night for TOPL, and managed to play OK. No major breakages, but had a minor issue with the upper flipper on X-Men that required a quick adjustment. Evidently these things can ship from the factory with too little play in them, which can cause the flipper to...

    stern cabinet decals

    So I just noticed this on the X-Men I got what...three weeks ago? Check out the decal peel near the leg: Now, I can't remember if it was like this from the factory or not (the pictures from unboxing it don't have that angle unfortunately), so I can't say for sure whether it's been there the...

    Re: Stern AVENGERS: announcement today! Actually, Jpop won the whitewood, and re-donated it for another charity auction (http://pinballinventor.org/avengers.html).

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Yes, there are. I played one of these a while back in Seattle-kind of a neat game. I had no idea it was uncommon-just thought it was something I'd never seen before.
