Just to clarify, I am talking about battle selection before the mode starts. Just making sure that they do not light up or change at that point.

Thanks!

Dude. Amazing story. I love it. Cool to see the little man before and after. Enjoy your kids. Time flies.

I completely mis-read your initial post but in my initial response those are the shots you gotta hit for those modes

As attyrhodes said, during the mode selection the shots do not light up at all to give you an indication as to what you will need to hit. The only thing that changes are the highlighted Battle/Quest on the inserts and the back of the playfield to indicate who is actively chosen.

My Pinmonk mods are arriving today. I also have some pinstadiums, I need to change the hookups. I cant wait for my next day off to install of them

FYI, Cointaker has toppers in stock for one of the cheaper prices out there. Got mine a couple weeks ago, like it better than I thought I would.

Stupid question...probably very stupid.

Just picked up my DP over a week ago, and after starting a game, what are the blue flashing inserts that show up sometimes? Not the team-ups, but the larger inserts. Sometimes there's just one...sometimes more. They are timined it seems.

Those are ninja shots, they appear at random locations after so many pop bumper hits. They add to bonus at the end of ball and I believe there is an extra ball if you can collect 50 of them.

Giving a solid 2 CHIMICHANGAS for Hurry Up Pinball Mod that I received and installed this weekend.
I received the Left Ramp Protector with .50 Caliber bullets ( looks amazing and easy to install )
.......Just don't lose the 2 small black spacers.
Already received numerous compliments.

When I installed it, I had no idea about the spacers. I was extremely lucky when I knocked them over they didnt go far. It is a very nice upgrade over the clear plastic.

Hey guys. I'm considering a Deadpool Premium. Enjoyed it at my friend's house, but have very little time on it. Do you guys think Deadpool has legs like Metallica, Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, etc? I try to avoid pins that get old fast. Too repetitive, all flash, etc. Deadpool is flashy and sensory overload, kind of like the new GNR, but does it grab you and keep you coming back?

your definitely in the wrong thread to ask BUT it's seriously definitely a keeper.

The modes can get a bit repetitive, but after that, its all keep.

Who knows this pin better than you guys? Surely, some of you possess objectivity.

Ok ill bite. I have 10 pins and you can see them listed in my profile. If I could only keep one it's Deadpool. Does that help?

I’ve only owned a couple of pins more than once. Dp I have had every model and my premium is bolted to the ground. I’m not letting it go again. We love it and insider connect adds to some fun progression item collection

It does, especially considering your collection. You've got some of my favorites. I bailed on Halloween due to quality concerns. Deadpool is feeling like a better choice.

I have 1 pin mostly due to not having the room to have some more. It would be a lie if I said that I had never thought of moving it cause there have been times when I am more interested in something new or different or have burnt out a bit on Deadpool. Having said that, this game still makes me smile and laugh because it is fun and has a ton of personality, and any burn out I have felt has faded pretty quickly after taking a short break.

I find the rules fun and while not incredibly deep there are many ways to approach the game for score or progress or whatever you want to achieve. So in a multi pin collection I don't think you can go wrong if you already like Deadpool.

I'd say so. I've owned it in one shape or form for 3+ years. Had a premium when it came out, traded it for a grail game. Picked up a pro soon after after missing it, and recently bought a NIB premium last month and sold the pro. To me it's one of those games that never gets old no matter how many times I play it. Still have yet to beat it and I'm halfway decent... just keep the outlanes opened all the way and a steepish pitch and you're looking at years of fast stupid fun. I'm in love with the shots and the audio and code choreography is amazing. It's not super deep but has lots of stacking potential and side modes.

I kind of loved it the first time I played it, if it connects with you I'd say go for it. Easy enough to sell down the line, it's a well loved game and presume they will stop making them eventually.

DP was my first pin 3+ years ago. I have bought and sold many machines in that time, including Spiderman (pretty average). Deadpool is still here and still amongst the top 5 in my 25 game collection.

Leave those doubts behind. If you are lucky enough to get one in these last few possibilities new, take it.

You cannot find a Deappool second hand in Australia, they just never come up.

Tech issue: drop targets coil goes off multiple times when they reset. Location game, been there a month and worked fine the first day (league night) before I went on vacation. @150 plays. Any ideas what might cause this? Thanks all!

You guys rock. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I will heed your collective wisdom and track one down.

Deadpool is the rare game that puts it all together - it doesn't have a weakness! Most games are lacking in at least one category - shots, code, music, video, etc....

I've had mine for almost 3 years and put over 5500 games played on it and have only "beat" it a handful of times, so it is also difficult to master.

It's great for home use and it's a keeper!

It's also the last Stern with that style art before they went to melted crayons. So that's gotta be worth something too?

How does this art style differ from other recent Zombie Yeti games such as Avengers or Godzilla? I don't doubt there is a difference but I have not paid too close of attention.

I have my GZ right next to my DP and I have to say, DP is in a class all by itself. The art on that pin is just perfect, probably the best art package in pinball to date IMHO

You could pay attention rather than asking me to explain it?

It's having trouble hooking the targets on the ledge. There are some posts discussing this. Bend the targets forward aggressively. On one set of mine I ended up putting washers behind the ledge.

I bought Lucxor’s awesome Katana mod secondhand off the marketplace but it didn’t come with any installation instructions. Can anyone help with the install.

Thanks for the reply. They're not dropping though, after the first pop. Did you see the video? I'm not seeing it as if they are failing to lock in the up position.

Well that was my issue. Seems like yours are staying up so not sure. Would make me guess it's not detecting they are all up so not sure if there is a switch or something it uses to detect this.

Thanks!

Art can be subjective, I was curious as to what you see as being drastically different, especially given 2 are Marvel properties.

Sorry for putting you out

Haven't put me out, but if you know that art is subjective you wouldn't have asked me to justify my view, let alone while admitting you haven't even made an effort to understand it.

I was just asking for your opinion, that's it. My apologies if that came across as a demand for justification. This has been a pretty friendly thread in general where people help each other out so I honestly didn't think it would elicit this kind of response.

I've seen the art packages and thought, "yup that's ZY," but clearly have not scrutinized further. When I asked the initial question all I was expecting was a key point or two to look out for.

How am i not friendly? Do you mistake aggression in something i've said?

I'd already given my opinion in the first post, you asked for justification of that opinion. There's no way you could interpret it otherwise. You are still asking for justification in a 'key point or two' without bothering to look for yourself.

I just said that i don't see a point in justifying a subjective opinion.

Move along sir.

Your post did come off super-flippant and jerkish.

Which one upset you mate i have hundreds of posts in this thread? All i did was make a comment on art?

You are the one calling people names because you misinterpreted me.

There are two black screws with washers on the left side of the Katana handle that you have to remove. Be careful not to drop any of it, I used a magnetic Philips head screw drive and a micro fiber cloth underneath the handle. Then slowly lift up the left side of the plastic katana handle and slowly rotate it all clockwise & a touch to the right. You will clear the tabs on the right side that are inserted into the right side of the katana handle. Do everything in reverse with the existing screws and the Lucxor katana handle, don't forget to choose what color gel to install.

Side Note: I removed my Dinopool because it was in my way (same deal remove two black screws), The directions also warned to be aware of the Wolverine plastic...so don't break it.

Additional Side Note: My Lucxor katana handle wasn't catching the tabs on the right side as securely as I would have liked so I cut two small pieces of 3M Double Sided tape and made a hole in the center of them and stuck them on the inside of the Lucxor Katana Handle over the screw holes. Then stuck a washer (#6 size I think) to the inside of the tape and installed the handle. The spacer that the washer became allowed for a more secure latching of the handle.

hope this helps.

I agree. IMO it's got an edgy vibe with just enough color. I really like the comic style art. I think I understand Punkin's melted crayon comment. Avengers, Tmnt, Godzilla...they seem more cartoony? Brighter colors? Softer edges? I love tmnt artwork, but DP is definitely on another level. Those are my initial thoughts.

Thanks for the insight @durgee7! That makes a lot of sense from what I can recall from those art packages. Especially TMNT.

Personally I still think Ghostbusters is still Yeti's best art, but this one is a VERY close second. Also yes, although it is comic artwork, it does seem to be slightly less "cartoony" than Avengers/TMNT (which quite honestly are also bloody amazing, no-one makes a playfield pop like ZY).

Thanks so much! What about the LED’s that came with it? Where do those plug in at?

I believe the LEDs are embedded in the metal housing that the handle screws into so you don't need to worry about it. Just remove the old piece of plastic and swap in the new one.

Hello Tick

I did send you an instructions with the installation guide.
I can give you all information about it in pm.

Man that QR sticker is ugly.

Is someone making a magnet?

Just peel it off.

Just bought it last week. Was hoping someone was making something like the Godzilla one

Do you think the sticker adds value, or it will be less valuable with it removed?

I don't care. Was just thinking there was a sticker out there
