R2-D2 action figure with LED eye.

I put on some sweet bobblehead toppers. They currently sell these at Barnes and Nobles. Huge assortment.

Haven't done anything on the playfield (yet).

I have some micromachines star wars vehicles I put in mine, and a yoda action figure

Someone here had a really badass signed translite. It was worth like 3k tho.

Post some photos, please!

Here is a red flashing Vader mod... powered by the PIG 2. Will only flash when you make the Dark Side scoop shot... will not flash when regular Force scoop shot is lit, all thanks to the power of the PIG 2.

Here is a green fading Yoda mod... again, powered by the same PIG 2. Activated by the Yoda/Ben/C-3PO shot.

And finally, here are fading lighted flippers and under cabinet lighting.

Also powered by the same PIG 2.

Notice the pulsing level of the flippers and under cabinet are different... totally customizable thanks to the power of the PIG 2. Another cool thing is these fade to lowest brightness whenever the GI goes off during the game. Very subtle but cool effect.

Several mods in this one, but the R2-D2 with light up eye is the one I was speaking of and it can be seen on the left side in this pic.

I added a color changing LED to the light sabre contact point insert in the center of the playfield.

I found some snap together models by Revell at a local store last week. They are easy to assemble and a good scale for this pin. Here's some pics...

Here is a link I found on Ebay...ebay.com link: REVELL STAR WARS DARTH VADERS IMPERIAL TIE FIGHTER SNAP TITE MODEL KIT NIB 8338

These are cool. I've seen the micromachines pin. I like that idea. These are cool but a little too big for me.

I'm happy to say I purchased my Star Wars [Data East] a few weeks ago! I've already started with some basic non-permanent modifications. I discovered that MicroMachines made nice little Star Wars ships in the 90s, and I got this crazy idea that I could try to attach these ships to the rotating Deathstar...

=====X-Wings Encircling Deathstar Mod=====

Parts I used:
1. MicroMachines XIII Star Wars X-Wings (3)
2. Small magnets (3)
3. Nails (3)
4. Black spray paint
5. Hacksaw (for shortening nails)

Special Notes:
These X-Wings actually have small hexagon holes in the bottom of each ship. You can use nails with a proper shaft diameter that will allow these hexagon holes to firmly grab the ship - eliminating the need for glue. If other MicroMachines ships have this same hole, you could use other ships besides X-Wings.

Experiment with each ship's location as well as nail length. I found that the X-Wings with their wings closed were better at clearing both the spiraling ramp (in the back) and the metal screw post (on the left) which holds down plastic artwork between the Deathstar and the center ramp.

If the ball jumps off the playfield and hits the Deathstar, a ship may move (spin) and require adjustment. I imagine this could be mitigated via stronger magnets or resorting to some adhesive.

Placing the majority of ships on one side of the Deathstar (as I've done) may make the Deathstar unbalanced, requiring it's top nut to be tightened in order to regain "balance with the Force".
