    You mean my answer wasn't perfect?

    Maybe you just need a less gamefied list. Maybe someone
    has hundreds of pinside accounts and jacks up the ratings before he or she sells a game.

    Is that a real list LOL?

    Quoted from pkrobin:

    You realize there is nothing newer than 2017 on there.

    That means you're missing 3 full years of pins (18,19,20)

    Iron maiden is not in there, and other major games are missing too.

    Your list is flawed. Majorly.

    All those games are in the database but you need to look them up individually because they don't have enough ratings to warrant a GOAT list.

    So yeah I suppose it's not ideal but at least it's harder to manipulate in the short-term

    Fair point. I just think it's major flaw considering the bangers coming out recently

    Just my opinion though.

    Tried to get some plastics from Pinbits, never could complete my order. Emailed, no reply. Has anyone ordered from them recently? Wondering if they are still in business..

    Hoping they are still in business. They have the best plastic protectors. I want to order a few. Let us know if you hear from them.

    I’ve made the drive down the I 5 maybe a dozen times to LA over the years. In northern Cal, there’s a town called Weed..had to get a magnet, and it’s been on the beer fridge a long time

    Selling my Junk Yard. Check it out on Kijiji Saskatchewan. Willing to ship if you make the arrangements. Depending on the timing, I can deliver and setup in Saskatchewan area for the right deal.

    Any local (Edmonton and surrounding area) Pinsiders that would like or need some stern 4" backbox speakers? Have them kicking around after changing out from a Tron a number of years back. Doing some cleaning and realize I will never probably have any need for these. So free to anyone local who wants, or else they are hitting the trash can.

    #3084 3 years ago

    Got to play a couple hours of lz pro yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it but i am a big zeppelin fan.

    Won’t bore you with huge review just a few notes.

    Sdtm is right you don’t need toys and mechs to make a great game.

    The upper flipper on the pro doesn’t make much sense imo, even if you hit the target you will have a wild ball.

    If you like AC/DC pinball and you like lz music you will like this game.

    While you can technically hit the center ramp with upper flipper there is no reason to and it is not a natural shot. Best not to flip and trap on lower right flipper imo.

    Game is super fast, ball rips around the ramps.

    Yes pro is barren but I never once thought about it while playing. Was just focused on hitting ramps and combos.

    Really enjoyed the lights and the mood on the pro, got me excited to experience the premium.

    I would agree with the sentiment that lz shoots better than gnr but gnr looks prettier.

    I’m not sure how I feel yet about the song continually playing, I’m used to games switching it up when you start a mb or mode, also it was different to count bonus and song never stopped. I didn’t hate it so maybe it’s just cuz it’s different, one plus is if you into the song and singing along you don’t lose the flow.

    All that said obviously this game won’t be for everyone based on theme, the barren pf vs sterns last few pro offerings but I really loved it.

    Ps I’m in on a premium day 1 and still in.

    Anyone in Regina can help a fellow out with some legs. I sold a black hole last month to a guy in Regina and long story short the tried to steal it out of his basement. Good news they were unsuccessful but got away with keys and legs. He's not on pinside so i figure i reach out here and see if anyone has some legs locally he could purchase and get him back to playing his game.

    Wow trying to steal a Black Hole, these guys think a couple thousand bucks is worth it I guess. Risk vs reward these guys are obviously dumb as f***!

    #3089 3 years ago

    Pinballs are not easy to steal. Dumb criminals indeed. Surprised they even got the legs off.

    I have a 4 extra legs laying around but I think one might be different length then the other 3. Maybe Dylan (archer600) would have 4 matching legs or between him and I we could get him a set. I travel home tomorrow for my week off I can have a better look at the ones I have then.

    Any reasonable option for ordering titan mats in or to Canada? Cheapest shipping option titan offered me was $76!

    #3100 3 years ago

    That’s a good deal. That’s exactly what I wanted but shipping was outrageous. I was recommended Kangaroo standing mat on Amazon. I got them last week and holy crap! What a difference. I was stool shopping until I found these. Highly recommend.
