Can you send info / link on nano spotlight?

Here you go. Cheapest place I’ve found so far. They list as rated at 12v but unless they’ve changed them in the last month, they function fine at 5v. The intensity of the light is just a little less.

Have you tried getting ahold of these spotlights, they look much smaller. I have these on my machine from factory. Don’t see them available yet as replacements.

Not sure what they’re using

Wow, the new code had a big improvement on the game. More Lil Deadpool multiball, new music and sounds. Made the game even better. My katana sword is dropping all the balls at once now, since the new code. I’m not sure if its supposed to do that or not. It used to space them out a bit.

So I just found something extremely alarming to me on the local DP. If this was my machine I'd be livid!!! The rail is literally digging into the field and is lifting the top layer of the field. Is this what I have to look forward to when I purchase my Pro?? I can only assume that it's tightened down way to much at the end and I was wondering why it was so hard to make that lock shot. It simply isn't aligned. And now that I look at it again, why the hell isn't there a solid rubber post there instead of a little bit of a rubber flip over hanging the edge?!? Seems cheap and I'm not liking it at all.

This is a Gomez design characteristic. Some designers have "trademark" designs that resurface game to game.

Gomez likes wireform ramps that rise from the playfield and feed the flipper on the same side of the ramp, "saucer" style scoops, those blue nubs on the edge of shots.

Ritchie has right upper flipper loops,backhandable ramps from a cradled position, and full rubber sleeved posts between shots.

Lawlor has the shot through the pop bumpers and an upper flipper jackpot/super jackpot shot.

Anyway, my HUO LOTR had a nub that dug into the playfield. I am not a big fan of those, but yeah, just check your stuff every once in a while. It's not a big deal. If it's dipping, adjust it. If it's loose, tighten it. You'll be fine.

It would be for me and they'd be sending me a new playfield.

Can you share a better picture? This is zoomed in so far you can’t see anything.

Looks like that rail guide won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

Yup and the sad thing is, even if I pointed out the problem which I guarantee they know nothing about, they wouldn't do anything about it because it's still bringing in money.

Well, I don't know, I guess everything can be a big deal if you really try hard enough?

...

Did anyone else get a premium translite with their Deadpool Pro?

Unless you know the Op don’t assume and alert them as a courtesy.
As mentioned, the rail can be adjusted just be careful as its a tight fit through a hole in the board underneath.

Sorry that's All I got plus the glass was on. You really cant see the damage that rail has done?? If you zoom in through paint or on a phone in the second pic you can really see what's going on.

They have been alerted about numerous problems multiple times by multiple players, yet none have been rectified. No point any longer. I only posted because I wondered if anyone else has had the same happen to them here.

So has anyone used pinball browser to change the songs on this pin?

Not on this one, I love the audio.

On my pro model, right orbit shot was not smooth. Balls keep on hitting the metal guide and shooter lane.
I removed this and everything is back to normal : smooth shots for Sabretooth (and others)
Don't know if this part is usefull on a premium or LE.

Hmmm, maybe thats the cause of the clunky feedback Im experiencing on my right orbit.

I was assuming it was just the feel of the ball passing over the shooter lane then slamming into the the orbit wall before looping around.

That's weird, a piece like that was put there on purpose. At least it solves your problem.

Could you not make some adjustments?

I figured this guide was there for a reason. Maybe the guide was leaning?

Has anyone else tried this?

For my part, everything is OK on the playfield in this area. The playfield angle is correct (7°)
I did not noticed any problem since i removed this guide. Most right orbit shoots work great, and are much more easy.

Please try it and share your feedback. Maybe I am wrong on this.

Agree.

Can a few others try and report back results?

Thx

My Pro seems to be like this out of the box with less than 50 plays on it. Seems like the guide was tightened to the playfield before the clear was fully cured. I am hesitant to loosen it to investigate further. It isn’t too noticeable so maybe I will slip some Mylar over the playfield under the guide one day.

Alright so I took my right orbit mini-guide off and here's my thoughts.

- Pretty simple to do. Unbolt the nuts from the bottom and take off the two philips screws that hold the sword blade down. You'll need to take the handle plastic off which requires removing 2 pretty small philips screws. Be carful to not snap it as the east side of the handle is clipped on... From there you have your last philips screw. You can then lift the whole sword enough to get the mini-guide out.

- The shots feel much smoother than before. I like!
(I think my shots would hit the right guide near the DP arrow, then hit the mini-guide, then hit the right orbit. Which would result in a rough-feeling shot.)

- A few shots would hit the post above where that mini-guide was then hard bounce down the shooter lane - I don't like...

- When the ball would come out of the pops on the right side, my game would normally bounce off the edge of the orbit, cross the PF and land on the left flipper. Now, more times than not, it will come straight down on top of the right slingshot. I don't like this because now it's a nudging game and who knows where that ball is going next.

All in all I think I like the reliability of the bounce over to my left flipper from the pops more than the smoother feel to a right orbit shot. I'll probably put the mini-guide back in when I get around to it.

Testing a few new lights to brighten up playfield.

Mine is doing the exact same thing only the playfield has also chipped there too. Mine is HUO too so not many plays on it. No picture cause I am at work but can post some later.

I figured this game was a right off due to voice work and the fact that its g rated , layout looked ok but just goes to show you have to play a game to pass real judgment because after my first 3 games on it I think I need a pro. Damn fun pin. Artwork in a word is incredible and I really enjoyed the Mortal Kombat style mode disply/ fun multis. Good Times

Agreed. One thing I was worried about initially was the talk around long ball times and watching the initial Stern launch stream and how far in the game they were getting, was worried it might be too easy. I always have to keep in mind how bad I am at pinball compared to a lot of the folks they have working at Stern. I am finding it more than challenging enough for my "skills".

I'm a good player and the game was challenging, it had just come back from competition play so the posts were removed and the rules were set to a harder difficulty that default. It was pretty great plus in the home I don't mind long ball time, and I also don't mind the pinball machine having long ball times. Anyway, I was quite happy with the voice work and while I would have preferred an r rated choice with code its so fun to shoot it didn't matter.

Quick update - I have another dozen plays since removing the right orbit mini-guide and think it might be growing on me. The smoothness is nice, and the returns to the top of the right sling haven't been TOO bad.

Does it help that since I've done that I have finally gotten to Sauron? No... Probably not, I've come close quite a few times previous haha.

-

Does anyone else experience a weak auto-plung from time to time?
Sometimes my auto won't make it past the 1-way gate and rolls back into the pops, then other times it fires hard around no problem. Is this code? The ball always sits nice and settled before it fires.

I beat Sauron with new "miror glaze" balls. Factory Stern balls are awfull

That sucks!! I knew there had to be someone else with the same issue. I was speaking with a fellow pinhead and we are wondering what would be the result if a post were to be installed at the end of that rail. It's a gamble for sure because no one knows if, or how it will alter game play.

Well, now that I am hearing this I will definitely have to check that area at delivery time. You've got me kind of afraid now, lol. Unfortunately I will have to refuse it if I see that damage. I'm wondering if the issue has been brought to sterns attention??

Holy Smokes Batman! Did you see the latest Top100?

but you can't be serious.. !? are you ? (having given 9.560 to TZ)

Members I am in desperate need of your aide. I've grown to love deadpool after owning a pro since the first wave out and hold it as one of my favorite games. I'm about to sell my pro and upgrade to an LE but for obvious reasons I see both sides of the coin. Cost to reward. I rarely ever sell games and it'll go good next to my X-Men magneto LE. I need feedback

From what I gather the changes are mostly cosmetic. The drop targets may slow down the ball but for the most part the game plays exactly the same. If it is worth it to you than go for it. I am just going to buy the Disco Ball mod that just came out.

I've player the LE and really enjoy the loop shot

Other than the shooter lane ramp that allows you to loop the left orbit, there is nothing that seriously impacts gameplay between the two. I think the loop shot is pretty cool, and am loving my LE. Is it worth several thousand more dollars to get that and the bling and the "limitedness"? From a common sense nickel and dime perspective, no. But I love Deadpool, loved the art package, love extra features on pins and was spending recycled money anyway (had sold a couple pins a few months ago).

If your primary concern is cost I'd try and get some play on a Premium or LE and decide if the drops and shooter lane ramp matter to you before deciding.
EDIT - Just saw that you did play the LE and liked the loop, so I guess just decide if splurging is worth it for you personally I guess.

I chose DP pro over LE. DP pro is beautiful and it doesn't need the backglass. Without having left looping shot it is frustrating, but that only effects 20 of 100+ shots per game. A few areas aren't designed perfectly and tend to play as a Klunkfests too. Those areas don't get fixed with an LE either. For those reasons and the price differential, I'd say stay with the pro and you'll be 90% happy.

Had a similar decision to make with Maiden. MaidenLE offers more than the Premium and a bit more than that on the Pro. Could have been 85% happy with the pro, but decided to splurge and spend twice as much for a LE, since it is Stern's best game and it has flow.

So if he is only 85% happy with the Deadpool Pro he should splurge and go for the LE?

The other option is of course the Premium. I almost always buy Premiums (am a sucker for extra playfield features), I only go LE if I really like the theme, and like the art package more than the Premium. The decision really comes down to personal tastes and what someone is comfortable spending money on.

Its become one of my favorite games so that's the motivation for going LE plus I got a deal on the price

In no way can I justify the LE price increase over the Pro. Having said that, you'll have to pry the left looping to right flipper, disco ball integration, drop target palooza, high def glass, amplified speaker system, LE specific art blades, shaker motor, lit speaker rings, T-rex cabinet, mirrored backglass, shaker motor and vinyl LP album from my cold dead hands. I can't imagine not owning the LE... it's that good so far!!

Turning out to be one of the best pinball machines ever and since the code is still early, I'm hoping it only gets better.

We are Very happy with the LE. Pretty stuff aside for us the drop targets and primarily the drop loop ramp was a must for total enjoyment. Loving the theme and I suspect they have some great code additions to make it amazing. Fully understand if it's not everyones cup of beer but it plays great and the integration is awesome. Just tired or music based themes for us. Not that they aren't fun!

The Premium/LE's drop targets make the game a bit more satisfying, imo. It's nice to be able to see what you still need to hit to close quickly as the game plays fast. Shooting around the orbit into the katana is also a bit more satisfying than the pro shot.

I played the Pro locally here before I ordered my premium and it also seems like they fixed the katana ramp a bit in later production. At home, I hit 60% or so of the shots, it easier to hit if the ball is moving quickly as compared to stopping it on the flipper.

Overall, I really like the game.

For me, I couldn’t pass up getting the LE because of the theme. And I love it so very much. Of all the new pins, this one takes me to a happy place. I just love it’s retro arcade feel integrated with awesome pinball. If you love the theme and all the extras, get the LE.

I love my LE and so happy I got it. The sound upgrade has to be experienced. Is an LE ever ‘worth it’? Dunno but you gotta enjoy your life.

Curious how many LE owners have listened to the LP? Did the premium buyers get a cassette tape?
