Hopefully TimeBandit can maybe work his magic like he has done on so many titles with his awesome Total Lightshow.

Mine was delivered Aug 25th ... back sticker says Aug 20th for assembly (can't get much fresher than that) . After having almost two weeks on it, I must say I am really enjoying this game and even the early software is pretty good. Far cry from GotG's early release software (which I thought was the worst)

Finally got setup and playing, and I could tell nobody did any play/QA on this cabinet... But I'm OK with no pre-existing wear, and nothing looks wrong with the playfield The top wolverine shot wouldn't let pinballs pass through and needed the metal ball guide bent out of the way. Leaf spring in the lockdown bar button could never have ever registered the way it was setup. All in all happy with it anyway It did make me think that these particular games could definitely use some dialing in to be perfect though. Let the tuning commence

Welp, spoke too soon on that one. I can see a small spot of clear coat/paint gone down by the flipper. Can definitely see wood underneath. Kinda looks like Deadpool has a bullet in him there. Also pretty sure in that location there’s no scenario where that doesn’t get worse. Booo Stern lottery hahaha

Isn't that the flipper alignment hole?

Is there one on the other side? Pretty sure that looks like a flipper alignment hole.

edit: kermit beat me to it....

lol you are right, apparently I am just paranoid

Did ya find a bullet casing in the cabinet or something?

Mod Couple speaker light kits added. That rounds out my Pro with shaker, Pinball Side Mirrors and Lighted flipper buttons. It turned out great.

The speaker lights do not show the individual LEDs to the eye. You only see a red ring. That’s just the camera picking it up. Like the flipper buttons, brightness is adjustable. Overall, I’m very pleased.

Completely agree on the diverter shot, it adds so much flow, but I thought the disco effect was awesome and is making me lean toward premium.

in case anyone needs cosplay ideas

Looks great!
Can you post a couple more pics/angles of the mirror blades? I’m thinkin they’re on the to-get list!

Sure. I'm working today but I'l take some this weekend.

Have they released better pictures of the Premium cabinet yet? All the ones I've seen so far are the small blurry ones from the original info release.

Looks pretty good, that might keep me happy. It is always on, right? Any chance to tie into disco flasher?

I’ll take a look at it. I can’t recall if that insert is actually active yet. Currently, it is always on with the game. Motor needs constant power to spin with proper effect, can't be short bursts of power. I think that Disco light runs off a 14pin connector, that's not fun to tap into if there is no intermediate connector.

Picked mine up yesterday. Born August 21 and delivered Sep 7 to the West Coast (thanks PS Vending and Jim Belsito).
Here's some pics of the trip.
My next post will include the issues I found and fixed or need resolved.

Third post in a row. This one is about the very cool obversations of the newest Stern pin.
1. New type of spot light (picture below). This is a very small spot light. It looks to be installed to light up Little Deadpool. I like the size BUT the back of the light fixture is open and very noticable from the player side of the light. It needs to be solid. Friends had the same comment. Im looking forward to moving away from the old style and onto this small LED spot.
2. From the factory, Stern is using the B/W style leg bolt plates (pictured below). All four have the bracket we know are needed.
3. Zombie's art is awesome. There are many little secret and hidden things in the art. Some you'll never see unless you pull the glass and really look close. Not only are their Ninjas hiding in plain sight but there's stuff going on under palstics and stuff. Love it. Example below but most are hard to photograph because they hidden.
4. Stern covered the outer look metal lane gate and put a sticker on the shooter lane. Very cool to use this ugly space as another place to put art. (example below).
5. NO extra plastics in goodie bag!? Normally you at least get slingshot plastics right? This time they gave me about 20 key chains. However, they did provide a complete standup target sticker set. That was nice of them. There's about 20 standups in the Pro game.
6. Lots of new options in the portal. Lighting, sound, etc. Pretty cool. Thanks Stern.
7. After putting 20 or so games on (with the 0.82 code) I'm really appreciating Gomez's design and how it fits with the rules. Another great job George.
8. If you're a MODDER, there are so many opportunities for this game. I'm expecting a flood of creativity for Deadpool.

there's more but I feel like I'm hoggin' this forum. let me know if you have any questions.

Now interactive with "Disco" insert.

This settles it for me ... DP pro with motorized disco ball for the win. Pro looks like the way to go, bro.

Thx. It was a challenge for me to get this to work. Spike games make modding much more difficult, particularly if you want them to be interactive. I'm very happy with the way this turned out and glad I have it on my game and can make all pros that much better. Lots of labor went into this mod.

Anybody making Game cards for Deadpool yet ?
I cant see to locate any yet ?

Thanks

I have an LE on order from Pinball Pirate in Benicia, CA... can’t wait.

This is my first pin — super excited to join the club and will definitely post pics when it arrives!

Wow way to jump in with both feet. LE on a first pin congrats!

I know.

I think I may be developing a disease of some sort...

Yes,Jerol,you are developing our disease I also have a LE on order as well! Welcome,have fun,B safe!! C U at Lodi next year,and well see how your affliction has progressed!!

I still have doubts, change iron man vault by deadpool pro

What kind of scores are people putting up? My high is 214 mil, my son just put up 210 mil.

Anyone hear their LE is shipping soon?

My high so far is 187 mil and my friend got 197 mil. On my machine.
Hopefully I’ll be beating those tonight.

Ya. Don't let your friend own your machine. Put your name 1st.

I don't own the game, but on location my best was 217,206,100, was second place on the machine

On location for less than a week and the GC is 731,901,430

.

I put this up yesterday. The key to good scoring is the playfield multipliers when starting a multiball. The 2X & 3X multipliers stay lit for a long time allowing for some huge points. Also having the domino assist lit on the right orbit before battling a villain can give some big points too. I think mystique gave me close to 100 mil just by spamming the right orbit. There's quite a bit of strategy in the game, can't wait to see how it evolves w more updates.

20180909_173714 (resized).jpg

My best is 500 mil, but I felt like it was a good game and I fell just short of Sinister. With the launch party tournaments coming up, it would be interesting to hear if people had any go-to scoring strategies yet.

I'm into lighting the orbits and the center spinner for the team-up, then starting a mode. If you have those three, Sabretooth will be dead in two or three shots, and you'll have ~100m if you make the finishing shot.

I had one game around 800m, but it was a fluke. I'm usually around 100-200m, and getting over 300m is a pretty good game.

Nice! I go for Sabretooth first too. I try to bring team-ups in, but sometimes I get too much progress on Lil' Deadpool in normal play and then I am just trying to start a battle before I accidentally start Lil' Deadpool and get locked out of the battles. Almost like a reverse risk/reward when Lil' Deadpool MB is green and ready to lock a ball but you have not started a battle yet. I definitely try to get Wolverine/center spinner lit for Mystique's battle!

The assist shots will deal damage and reward their bonus even if the villains shots are lit elsewhere. You can defeat juggernaut without ever hitting the standups just by hitting the assists. Domino on the right orbit rewards extra points for every pass and is the best exploit for high scores as the code stands now.

I have yet to hit the PF x target shot on purpose. I can totally see the scoring going nuts if you can get that a few times during a game.

What he said.

Don’t know. Thought premiums were next.

Anyone??

So people are just getting Deadpool machines in and playing them. I have pinball machines in a theater and debating on a Deadpool vs Iron Maiden. Obviously Deadpool's theme fits the theater better. However, I know Iron Maiden is a great game. So can Deadpool compete with Iron Maiden? Which should I buy? How good is Deadpool?

Only time will tell on Deadpool. It’s very fun to shoot and seems to have something pretty cool in the works. That being said, the game won’t have mostly complete code for at least a few months.

I got a request for final payment on my LE, said they should ship in 2 weeks give or take a few days. wooohooo. cant wait.

Pro's -> LE's -> Pre is normally how Stern builds them I believe.
