So I'm pondering mods and want to limit my "big ticket" purchases to one at a time for now.
Was thinking between a ColorDMD or bill ung mini saucers for AFM...

Thoughts?

#2 10 years ago

Bill Ung Kit!

One of the best mods available. Get the color DMD later.

#4 10 years ago

You'll never get tired of looking at the ColorDMD, ever

#5 10 years ago

Easy, saucers, the ColorDMD has no relevance to game play. Its only good for the people standing behind you, and even they will appreciate all the saucers flashing more.

#6 10 years ago

It's a both thing. Bill Ung first, you see that while you play.

#8 10 years ago

I have both. I love both. I recommend Bill Ung first. Honestly, they are both great mods and you cant make a bad choice.

I only watch the DMD the entire time I play

#11 10 years ago

I would go ung for most of the same reasons stated above.

#12 10 years ago

They're both awesome additions, but I agree with most of the above. The saucers.

#13 10 years ago

Bill ung by a mile.

#17 10 years ago

Both Get the saucers first. Coolest mod ever with exception to the Tron video game mod.

#18 10 years ago

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
#20 10 years ago

I have both in my Attack.

I prefer Saucer first.
Color DMD is not a must have...

#21 10 years ago

Ung got my cash!

#22 10 years ago


...how's it coming along?

#23 10 years ago

Ung got my cash!

If you don't mind us asking, where did you end up purchasing the kit?

#24 10 years ago

I also have both and the saucer kit has a bigger impact, imo. It's also less expensive.

Right from ufo

#26 10 years ago

...and don't forget the Saucer beaming the cow Topper....

#27 10 years ago

If anybody else needs a Saucer kit (or knows someone that does), PM us! This is THE kit made by Bill Ung. Don't forget that this product qualifies for FREE shipping!

Thanks guys!

Buy both and the Bill Ung Expansion kit as well. It adds new lighting on the pop bumpers and cool landing light effects on the center hole and also redoes how the backbox lights work.

Yep, I sprung for the expansion kit as well.

#31 10 years ago

Colordmd then save up for the saucers.

#32 10 years ago

I would also recommend buying an LED main saucer board - orange LED actually looks really nice and is a break from the normal red/green/blue that most buy. The playfield orange really makes it come together. Unfortunately they run about $100.

#33 10 years ago

COLOR DMD 4 ME

#34 10 years ago

Both Bill Ung kits for sure, the saucers and the so called Hallway/Runway kit.

#35 10 years ago

Saucers and expansion kit for the hallway, red Pinbits display cover.

I got both from Bill.
