What did you do to fix the left ramp? I put washers under my katana shot today.

You fit in 24 in just the afternoon?

Same thing. There are three nuts under the ramp, loosen them to lift the ramp. There is one post for a washer on the right back side of the ramp, on the left back side I put in a clear plastic washer but its just held in place by pressure.

BTW I use clear polycarbonate washers for all of these things, I just cut a slit and slide them on the post much easier than having to fully remove ramps/rails to put a metal washer on.

I would replace vs repair on that part personally.

I'm currently sitting on some mylar, nylon washers, metal washers and some silicon rings from PBL that I can cut down if needed. I have no idea what I'm going to end up doing when the time comes.

The left ramp and wolverine ramp are very easy to loosen and lift so I would suggest protecting them even if no damage is visible. When I did they both revealed a greater need for protection than the Katana entrance.

I haven't found a replacement part yet. I'm guessing this is a new problem that hasn't happened to many people. I thought initially a couple screws came loose. When I removed the scoop, I noticed it was welded together. It looks like its to tight of a fit to use screws. I emailed Stern, we'll see if they have a replacement handy.

Oh fully intending to do all three. Just not sure what I'll actually end up putting down. Don't mind taking things apart at all.

Have pretty much resigned myself to pulling armor and sending it off for powder coating on day one - will have plenty of time to do preventative things while waiting.

Stern or a dealer are going to be where to source it. Pinballlife has good support and can source things like this at times as well.

How is my hydration efforts pertinent to a playfield discussion and why do you feel validated to comment on it during such? Do you honestly believe i am unqualified to comment on the condition of my playfield because i drink more beer than you do?

If so, my drug use will give you some extra validation too.

You should think about the image of yourself you are projecting here, not what you think you are doing to mine.

If sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt, then what would you think a personal attack to defend an indefensible position would be?

Brother, you were the one that shit on those who want to protect their games by posting, and I quote, “the sky is falling” without having a clue as to what damage I have on my game due to stern over tightening their ramps to the point where they are literally digging into the wood.

And yes, I do think that drinking 24 beers in an afternoon can impair your vision, I’m pretty sure that is a scientific fact. Ever hear of the term “beer goggles”? If they can make a chick go from a 5 to a 10 I’m pretty sure they can make your stern look liken a Williams diamond plate.

Lastly, don’t take me so seriously... I was making the comments in jest, obviously the joke flew right over your head was insensitive and landed poorly, for that I apologize.

I’ve never had a 10, but I’ve had five 2’s.

Do you remember saying this? Recipe for disaster for sure?
I merely pointed out your insistence that 'for sure' was inaccurate. that you don't speak for everyone, and that everyone does not have damage to their playfields.
That's where the chicken little quote came from.

I did not shit on anyone who protects their games. I think that is a good idea.

You really should apologize if you think it's a joke to ridicule me about how much i drink. It didn't fly over my head (thank you for calling me stupid too BTW).

I don't believe that you honestly think that drinking beer in the afternoons affects my vision all day. It's a ludicrous and insulting thing to say. I could drink 24 of my beers in a day and still be under the .05 limit here in Australia to drive.

Not that it has the slightest fucking thing to do with putting washers under your fucking ramps.

And your ridiculous comparison to say that your vision is affected because you settled for a less pretty girl at the end of the night rather than admitting that the alcohol makes your standards drop is inane.

It's not a scientific fact at all.

Things just got weird

Anyone else have their Lil Deadpool head decapitated?

Any large male can. 2 mid strenght beers in the first hour and one beer every hour after that.

Yes. It seems to happen sometimes, although not in any way a disaster waiting to happen.

I have seen other posts on here saying the same but I've never seen it myself. Seems not uncommon.

I'm the second owner of DP and what I have noticed on mine is that lil Deadpool has a scuff on the right side of his head. How that got there is beyond me and despite not being scratched I can't get it off, but I haven't tried too too hard. Maybe this head fell off in the past?

I think mine is about to. He's been a little more bouncy lately.

We've seen a few posts on this issue. Can it be glued back on? I wonder if Sci Grip stuff would allow the separated plastics to reform and become stronger at that weak point. Anyways, I guess they sell extra DP toys at pinballlife. Marco seems to be out of stock. I want to know if anyone has fixed their DP head.

Our pet's heads are falling off!

My friend got a replacement from Stern but it was NIB

the alleged bash toy broke it's head /lol
It does not get the actual hit and it broke. damn that is weak !
Was in the club for almost 2 weeks / out now/ Enjoy
And if i stayed that 600 lines of talk Deadpool head would be my topper. Damn that was a good gag gift toy

Lucky for me I just bought this nib. Had it for less than a week. Contacted Stern and they shipped a new one out. I was just wondering if this is an on going issue. Thanks for the replies.

Might be picking up a Pro next week. Any recommendation on what shaker motor to put in? Is shaker worth it for this game?

Yes, worth it, get it, do it.

Click on the Spike2 shaker on Pinballlife

3500 plays on mine with no 'Lil Deadpool head loss issues...

Yes, I second the Spike 2 shaker from Pinball Life! Works great and Deadpool has excellent shaker usage!

The $79 version works fine, I have them in two of my machines.

I had a stern shaker in my dp pro, which I sold and now want back! I've always used sterns shakers with no issues

Got this idea from a previous post and gave it a try. Only I pointed the projector underneath instead ot towards the ceiling. I had to rewire it a bit since the projector has an off timer. I had to put Ohms law into practice to limit the voltage to the LED in the projector to just 3.5volts. Im gonna do the same for mu spider-man next.

Super cool! Where did you get the projector?

Did any one add the knocker? I got my DeadPool last week

I grew up on EMs with knockers and put one in my TNA.

I haven't, but it should be pretty straight forward if you are looking at the kit from pinball life.

Here is a link to the deadpool emblem projectors.

Is it April yet?

I’m sitting on the exact same set of modifications, just waiting for the game!!

How come your putting wresting character in the pin?

everybody else is sticking action figures in their DP...

Dunno how he'll fit the chest of drawers in there either.

Wow your LJNs are in really good shape. Rare ones

Thanks, i’ve got a whole box of em. I beat the hell out of them as a kid! got a bunch of the thumb wrestlers too...

I remember cuttin up hillbilly Jim pretty badly w/ a razor blade as a kid... wish I had all that stuff nowadays.

I just added some DEADPOOL plastics to my shop for those who asked, email's and PM's sent as well. If anyone else is interested check my shop. These were a pain to get the colors right, or what I though was the best combo. If anyone needs anything made for any game drop me a line. Hopefully it wont take as long as these did.

When I pre-ordered my premium back in February, my distributor said the build run would be “April or May.” Not that he necessarily has more info than anyone else, but it felt like the conversation was leaning toward a late-April or May timeframe.

Between container shortages and clogged ports, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some delays. I’ll just be happy to finally join the club whenever mine arrives no matter how long it takes

Basically the same for me. When I first started asking around, I was told April, and April/May. When I ordered in early Feb, the distro (KingPin) had received an email from Stern that day stating April. He immediately stressed "That does NOT mean April 1st!" I've mentally expected late April all along. That email from Stern though makes me assume that that's probably not happening though. The wait sucks, but what the Hell. I now have a closet full of things to install / add to it when it finally gets here.

Endlessly jealous of the people that got their pros though.

Heh, same here. I have a whole section of attic space filled with boxes of mods/preemptive maintenance ready for DP when it arrives.

New DP Premium owner here.

BOOM! NIB?
