^^That is so dang cool!

Munster koach or anything Barris is beyond spectacular. Eddie signing is icing on the cake. Lucky man!

Ok...I'm in!

Just got one. Total dream them for me. I'm 50 and have loved The Munsters all my life! Franchi really nailed it on the art. I think the Black and White is stunning and moreso in person than in pics.

About 30 games in, and I really like the gameplay. It is addictive. Glad I didn't follow the mob.

Waiting on the shaker, as the seller listed it with shaker motor, but forgot to install it. How well is it integrated?

Lastly, I haven't updated code yet, but my topper neither lights up, nor moves.

There is only one thing I do not like about this machine.....

The power switch location! This is the only modern Stern I have, and it gets me every, damn, time.

Never thought of that. I was more complaining about reaching under the right leg only to be foiled!

Do you have a link by chance?

Thanks

that is pretty cool!

Same happened to me. I knew it was on the head and it wasn't where I thought it would be. And yes, it is more difficult slipping between pins.

Based on feedback from this thread, I changed Grandpa's Lab flipper to soft....major improvement if you ask me. Much more control...less bouncy bounce.

Does anyone else have an issue with the mini ball getting stuck on top of/behind the right basement flipper?

Usually have to tilt to get it dislodged.

One thing you should do is see them in person if you can. I think the B/W looks much better in person than in photos.

For me it fits the theme better, and is a bit striking looking compared to pins next to it. Also has not been done many times in pin history. I love the color pops of the inserts.

I do like the color Premium and I was on the fence until I saw B/W in person. The color seems more punchy and garish...almost like a colorized b/w photo.

Either way, I think you'll like a Premium. *For me* it has the best artwork package. I much prefer the Premium cabinet and apron over the LE, and even the translite to a lesser extent. It almost seems like the Preem cabinet should have been LE and vice versa.

Cool. And congrats. I've had mine over a month and I still absolutley love it. I hope you do too.

BTW, my B&W Preem came with the b/w art blades factory installed. I think it is a must on Munsters. Really looks good.

I did install art blades on a couple others. I'd recommend watching a few YouTube videos. I installed using windex method with playfield in. Good luck.

Funny. I like shaker motors, and in my opinion the one in my Munsters is pretty meh. It doesn't seem well integrated as a mode effect, just sort of random shakes.

I think WOZ is one of the best integrated shakers if you ask me.

By the way, for all the bashing of this game, as a 40 year player of pinball with 4 machines, if I only have 15 mins to play a game, MUN gets it every time (2 months owner).

I can't figure out how to delete the photos I added, so disregard this post.

Woohoo. I finally got MMII! Best High Score and lots others too. I got halfway through MMII on the first ball and actually got 3 modes through MMIII! I've had it for 6 months now, and just got in the zone on the one and only game I played today.

Munster Madness 2 didn't have any balls in Grandpas basement. Is that normal? When I got to the third level, I got Grandpa multiball, so I know it wasn't stuck balls or anything.

What a great game. Multiball in any pinball has always been my favorite and The Munsters is flush with MB modes.

Patiently waiting for toppers to be back in stock.

That is an awesome diaroma. I have Munsters figures...where did you get the Munsters living room?

Thanks,
Chris

I LOVE my B/W Munsters web rails!

I did not do them. Mine came that way. I do think someone on here who powdercoats offers them though.

I had the same issue. Got the message Welcome to Munsters. 2x Grandpa then nothing. I also have an LE.

Would someone please post the Qty and sizes of Titan rubbers needed for the basement?

I know I saw it in this thread recently and I skimmed through the last 10 pages and made several search queries, but I just can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance...tired of cleaning, clouding.

Big time. Thanks!

Me too! Great 60s combo meal.

I think they are very similar personally...especially the modes for a wizard mode. I think the shots are harder in MUN. I think the toys are better in MB. I think the video and callouts are better in MUN. I like the artwork in MB very much, but I think the B/W premium MUN is one of the best ever. MB seems more finished overall, but as an older game with easier shots, I tire of it quicker. I do have some deeper games to balance MUN. I really love it. 90s games like MB, TZ, TAF, CFTBL, etc are awesome, but at this point I get bored with them easier compared to games from the last 10 years. Kind of like classic cars.. I LOVE the lines of the 60s and 70s cars,, but it is hard to beat modern power, convenience and reliability.. YMMV

Fantastic mod. Great price....$15 and to my door in 3 days. Good instructions and easy install. It really makes Spot mode more special. I love to see the lights.

Maybe my best mod/$ ever.

Thanks,
Chris

Hahaha. Munsters Midnight Madness Mode. I thought my machine had gone on the fritz! I was "this" close to power cycling it! So fun!

Agree completely. The B&W Premium is some of the best art ever!
Shame the code doomed it for so long, as it is really good now. But it has raised the value based on lower sales and I think long run the B&W Premium will be the one most sought after.

Agreed. I'll bet I've watched each episode 20+ times in a lifetime since it was on when I grew up in syndication. We watch the movies too every couple of years. Dream theme indeed.

I love both too. But for my money, The Munsters OG series is much funnier. It errs more on the side of funny and sticky situations. For sure more campy and wholesome too. Addams is a bit weirder and darker...still funny, but more on the macabre side. I use this term loosely as it isn't exactly scary. Also, as I see it, Addams seemed a bit more repetitive in terms of themes: visitors to the house being scared.
Whereas Munsters had more variety of story lines. I think I'm in the minority though. Most online polls have AF beating The Munsters.

Also IMO, Herman>Gomez, Lily>Morticia, Grandpa>Grandmama, but Fester>Marilyn (not in looks obvs). Addams kids and Eddie are roughly =.

Also I have had a Lawlor Addams pinball and a Munsters pin. Addams was much more groundbreaking for the time, but for ME it got boring quicker than my Munsters. I had Munsters and Addams for roughly the same time ~3 years, but when I had Addams we were in France and it was my only pin during expatriation. Still, if you said I could have only one or the other today, it'd be MUN no question.

MUN was a dream theme for me. Well executed (finally).

I'd love to see an OG Addams Family Series themed pin (vs Raul Julia movies). Based on the Wednesday series hype on NF, I think it could be good timing. I'd 100% buy it.

After saying all that I just went down and rang up a 444M score on MUN. Sadly I couldn't hit the scoop to start another Munster Madness and collect the extra ball! Grrtrt
