I think everyone knows what I think of The Shadow by now. Keep it! I want a Star Trek too, but no way I'm selling my Shadow to fund it, gonna be patient instead. Wait out the code and Karl Urban pack in the process too I guess.

If you want to see how my alt translite spiffs it up in person you're welcome to make the trip out from Riverside to Torrance.

Too hard to say without details and pics. Possible to get them?

Someone is about to make some replacement mongols apparently.

My Shadow is sitting here sad and shooter-less. Good news is that's because it's waiting for a Mike Chestnut replacement to arrive.

Would be happy to. I only have two free on the run I'm having done now, not sure what I'll do after this run, the only catch is that I have a minimum order I have to meet with the printer, so the future is always uncertain in that way.

Every time I think it's tapped more people show up asking me for it though, so who knows!

Thanks.

The thing I love about The Shadow is you can just turn it on and play. It's challenging enough to suck you in completely, but at the same time it's just fun to flip. You can just go for Vengeance or something, play some fast and involved pinball without having to worry about stacking strategies etc.

Yup, you're so right, it's the worst, I hated it way more than Baldwin. I'm actually surprised no one before me tried to making a new matching speaker panel to go with a translite design, but I guess it's a lot more work and time and money and no one cared enough.

I definitely cared enough, love this pin, and since I'm a graphic designer it was just a natural to want to try it. I'd be happy to own it even looking stock though, the magic is on the playfield, which looks just fine.

Good man. It's people like you who forced me to import mine from Oregon, no one in California wanted to sell me theirs!

If everyone who ever had it kept it then the hobby would be crappy, pins have to move around to keep things interesting. So it wasn't for you, hopefully whoever bought it enjoyed it more.

I guess it is for some people, but I hear that. My Shadow still gets regular play, it's not a museum piece.

Wow, that's nice. I'll get you that translite as soon as I can, just waiting for the printer to get it run off.

So did you hand polish the habitrails instead of getting them replated? I'm afraid when I get my shooter from Mike that I'll be tempted to do those next ...
