I can't wait until I get the notification email! My creech needs something to fill the dead hologram hole!
Geez...it just keeps getting better, and I STILL don't know how to thank you.
How about a Pinball Mike D logo tattoo on my wife's left butt cheek?
No?
How about the right cheek?

Mine just showed up today.
The install was pretty straight forward and very clean. Just finished my first couple of games after putting it back together. It adds so much more to the game than the holo.
The mod is simply incredible. I can't wait to show it off this weekend.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Per your requests, we've decided to remove the "pinballmiked" logo from the attract video. This will however postpone shipping of all MODs for a few days as we will need to reformat numerous SD cards.
The new attract video will be exactly the same as the original (still 720P HD resolution), but the logo will not longer appear in between loops. If you've already received your MOD (or been notified that your unit is in transit) and would like to have the new attract video installed please shoot me an email and we'll make arrangements to resolve the matter.
We've also received several requests to replace all of the "Standard Mode" creature files (i.e. MB video and FILM letter award images) with the original hologram. If you would prefer this option please let us know when you are contacted for payment.
Smart move. Good PR makes for happy pinheads.
I'm not sold yet, but seriously thinking about it.

Hi Jeff, I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's also nice to hear the install was straight forward. Hope your pinball party goes well this weekend.
Still looking forward to getting my email requesting payment. I got an email a few weeks ago, so I know that I'm "on the list". Can't wait to get the mod!
Jim
Finished editing the video last night, so now just need to update all the SD cards. We should be shipping again by this weekend.
Quoted from stifflip6544:Hey...will pretty wife pics get me special treatment?
Kenny from the Black Lagoon
Kenny, Have you emailed me at [email protected] to get on list yet?
Quoted from wdpvideo:Are all of them shipping or just a few? Haven't heard anything and yes I am on the lsit
Sorry, I guess the thread title could be misleading. I just wanted to let folks know the attrct video is done and we are shipping again. We are suppling MODs based on the order we received requests, just takes time.
I'll be putting an order in next week with GLM for the second batch of interface boards, so if you want the MOD and have yet to email me ([email protected]) please do so. The boards will take several weeks to make, so if you miss out on the second run then you'll be waiting awhile.
Quoted from PINBELL:Can you have one for display at the Chicago Expo, in October? I would like to see it before I buy it!
Thanks!
Tony
If I can't make it to expo I'd be glad to work with someone that is willing to take there machine to the show. As always we will be at the Southern Pinball Festival in November, which isn't to far from you.

Recently installed Mike's Creature mod. The entire package is executed to perfection. Every detail of the mod is outstanding. The engineered LCD stand, video editing, wire harness, and youtube installation instructions were well thought out. This is the mod that I hoped would come when I bought my Creature with a blue hologram. My Creature is now complete. Job well done.

Quoted from wiggy07:Mike, if you haven't done so please put me on the list of the Mods for the second run...Thanks
Please email me at [email protected] and I'll get you added.
I finally got around to installing my mod, and I am happy to report that this is outstanding. I am glad I waited the extra time for this version. All the video clips are well done and they look fantastic in HD. This mod really gives the game an updated, modern feel. It feels like this is the way the game should have been all along.
WOW! installed mine last night. Easy install with Mikes tutorial videos and I am VERY impressed great work Mike and thank you again. Anyone on the fence on this MOD................. what are you waiting for send him an email and get on the list!
Also some great board work from GLM as always 
A+ MOD
according to tracking....mine arrives today!
edit: got it!!! I am way too tired to try installing tonight, but everything looks awesome. Excellent packaging and it all looks so professional. Update tomorrow a.m. because this install is gonna happen before breakfast
This is one of the coolest mods I have ever seen. You have to see it in person to appreciate it. It looks cool in Mike's video, but when I played my first game I had a smile like a kid on Christmas morning! I am so glad I pulled the trigger on this. Thank you, Mike, for taking the time to do this, and for the awesome communication during the whole process.
One thing I changed while doing the install is the playfield window. My original looked horrendous in comparison and I am sure the new window enables the mod to be appreciated that much more.
I hafta go play!
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Glad you guys are enjoying them.
If I haven't received a shipping notification yet, is it safe to assume my order is part of batch #2? Note, I did receive your email a few months ago that I was added to the list. If my order is part of batch #2, any guesses when batch #2 orders might start shipping? No worries either way, just curious.
Thanks for creating this mod, I look forward to installing it in the future.
Woohoo! Got my invoice notification and sent my check today. Can't wait to receive the mod! Where can I find a new lagoon window and decal? My original is a bit scratched and the decal is starting to delaminate from the window. Like YZFGUY above, I'm sure the mod would look a lot better through a new window! Thanks for any leads.
Jim
I was going to help a guy install his this weekend, but unfortunately didn't get to it. I saw the parts in person and watched the install videos, and I have to say this mod is really, really well done.
You guys will not be disappointed at all. I am amazed by the tiny details that went into this, down to the custom stamps on the molex connectors to make the installation pretty much fool proof.

I got a great deal on my window at Allentown, as I also bought new ramps for creech and whitewater. I think the online vendors are all around the same price as the link.
I really can't stop playing now! I thought my scores would go down due to spending so much time looking at the window, but it actually makes me work harder toward the goals so I can see the cool stuff popping up. I spend more time looking at this mod than the dmd. If they come out with a color dmd for this game it will look incredible as a combo. IMG_20130803_090033_333.jpg IMG_20130803_123606_026.jpg
With all the positive reviews of MikeD's mod, I put myself on the wait list. And I don't even have my Creech yet (my first pin ever!). It's supposed to arrive by NAVL this week and I'm chomping at the bit!!

At this point in time every customer in the first batch run has been contacted regarding payment. If you have not received an invoiced then you are in the second run. Please note that we are taking a few weeks off to recharge our batteries (and finish up some other pinball projects - restorations etc.), then we will gear up to make another run. However, if anyone drops out we will contact alternates in the order we received inquiries.
Best mod ever. I pity the fool that's sitting on any NOS or repro holograms, This has got to kill their value. If I still had my creech, I would be swapping it out even if it had a perfect hologram.

Amen to that!! Best bang for the buck Mod out there! Love mine! Mike did a fabulous job on this one!
