How many of you guys have pin stadium set up on your DP's? When my PRE gets here at " some point" I'm thinking of getting them. Played the game a lot on location and its definitely a little on the " dark side" in the middle of the playfield. Any opinions on this?
Quoted from mettle64:I've got Pinstadiums on my Pro. They're nice but if I did it again I'd probably just add a couple spotlights to brighten up the middle of the playfield.
Do you feel its too much? I mean to much light?
Quoted from durgee7:This is from over a year ago. Before and after spotlights at slings. Good enough for me. I love Comet pinball.
[quoted image]
Looks sharp! Might be the way for me to go here. How simple are they to install? I’m a HUGE newbie at doing my own stuff to my machines and not very tech savvy at all.
I won the July Project Pinball raffle and had a choice of ( all premiums ) Led Zeppelin AIQ Iron Maiden DP Black Knight. I picked DP being it was the only one I played and loved it. But I can't lie, I have an argument with myself about not picking Iron Maiden sometimes. Either way I'm happy as all hell to be getting what I'm guessing one of the December builds coming up!

Quoted from northerndude:All spike new pin builds upcoming will have i believe. Turtles, DP, AIQ, etc...
Yeah just saw that. So about delays etc....the Premium builds are still on for December as far as we still know?
Quoted from Happy81724:They are planning it. I have one on order but the distributor did say supply chain issues could push it to Jan. If that’s the case then it’s subject to the price increase. She told me as they get further into Q4 they will get an update so thinking late October/early November we will know for sure
Lets hope so, have my fingers crossed for a January ship date still.

Quoted from Happy81724:If mine pushes to January I won’t buy it for the increased price. My distributor still says the run is planned for December (I would be surprised if it’s built in December).
I owned the pro and Le. I’m willing to be patient but I’ll add a prem down the road. It’s my wife’s favorite pin
Just curious, why did you get rid of the LE?
Quoted from Happy81724:My wife and I like the side art on the premium a lot. Some one local wanted my LE so we were ok with selling knowing I can a premium later
Yeah I'm in on a Premium as well. The side art looks sick on it! Going to have to move things around so when it gets in my house so I can actually see it and not have it blocked by my other machines.

Quoted from gambit3113:December run is pushed off to February as of now. Just got word from one that would absolutely know.
Ugh, ah well lets me build up more anticipation and excitement I guess. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself.

Quoted from UCFKnight71:Not that I have any interest in letting my Deadpool go, but I'm curious about how you all feel about trades? If you had a Deadpool Pro, what current pro machine would you consider trading for? The only ones (pro models) I would even consider would be Godzilla, Mandalorian, Stranger Things, or Jurassic Park.
From my recent playing experience:
Godzilla Pro is fun, but lacks so much compared with the premium. Taken on its own, I'm not sure what the major feature is. The building, bridge, and Mecha-Godzilla are all amazing on the premium, but not so much on the pro.
Mandalorian is also a lot of fun, but those plastic ramps make it hard to see. It also doesn't have much of a "wow" factor. For some reason, I do really like hitting the Razor Crest shot though!
Stranger Things is the one I think competes best. Great flow and the drop down screen with Demogorgon bash toy is a "wow" feature, even without the projector.
Jurassic Park is also great fun. The art isn't great on the pro, and the animations are mediocre. However, great flow and lots of targets to shoot. The Newton Ball is cool as well. This one is also a contender.
So, what would make you give up a Deadpool Pro and the awesome katana shot for another comparable (price/availability) machine?
Funny you say this I actually posted something similar in the GZ thread. I have a DP Premium coming hopefully like these guys said in the next couple of months and debating selling/trading for a GZ premium.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:DP and IMDN are the best pros imo.
GZ is a great pro as well. You just have to not think about what's "missing" and focus on the shots.
I couldn't sell my JP pro fast enough.
STh is a great pro but get old fast imo. I had a Mando premium and really enjoyed it but I feel I may suffer from the same issue.
I wouldn't trade a DP for anything other than IMDN or GZ and I would be very hesitant on GZ because I don't have much time with one.
Yeah I’m never getting rid of my Maiden. That thing is amazing. I also LOVE DP after playing it on location a lot. But GZ is a dream theme for me. No complaints and this is actually a fun choice to go back and forth with.
Quoted from punkin:Yeah, hate the TV show, but the machine is a cracker. The only other Stern i won't let go.
Last time I had a chance to play that was in NY NY hotel in Vegas. But the wife and I got addicted to Metallica and forgot all about it.

Quoted from Sleal16:AH! reading people really enjoying both games making me more excited for whenever (if ever?) the DP Prems are made this year. With limited experience atm, putting AIQ -> DP -> Godzilla... in enjoyability and prob 3 games that will be hard to let go once the lineup is set. Really want to try Iron Maiden, but still havent had a chance.
Bought Maiden solely on loving the band, never played it before. No regrets at all!! Game kicks major ass!
Quoted from Sleal16:Thats a big driving factor as well, I lean towards being a metal head (generally 80s-early 00s) and cant get enough of IM when I put their albums on. Music alone was almost enough for me to think about putting BKSOR on my wishlist as well, but unfortunately the gameplay didnt really click to validate it. I dont really care one way or another for band pins unless it has some fantasy or story telling aspect, and seeing gameplay videos it seems the game is super up my alley.
The game has tons to do, its fast and looks amazing. I wish a couple of the songs in it where different but that's my ONLY complaint. Cant stand the " can I play with madness song". Replace that with INVADERS and its a solid 10/10 
. Now back to waiting for my DP Premium ....ugh! " they" are saying summer now?

Quoted from McDoom:Hands down, this is one of the best games ever made!!
I'm happy to say, I'm back in the Club!!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Congrats ! The premium art is absolutely insane. I love it.
Quoted from fooflighter:SNNNKKT !!!! New owner praise ahead
Man, finally zoned in on this shot, went from impossible to hit for me to 7 hits in one game. I hit in multiple ways too...half by just glancing the pop bumper skirt before letting the bumper get one quick fire and aid it into the target and up the ramp and the other 4 were direct target/ramp shots...such a weird satisfying shot. Almost has that feeling of riding a bike, can't unsee the shot lane now that I found it even though it seemed not to exist initially
I'm still trying to figure that shot out. Got the game last Thursday and have MAYBE hit it twice.
On another note, that out lane loop shot HAS to be the coolest most satisfying shots ever. I can hit it 3 times then the momentum and speed of the ball gets to be to much and I start missing it. But man its fun as hell!
Quoted from Smack:There is a combo shot if you hit outer right loop + katana lock shot called Ninjapocalypse that awards 10 Ninjas. This is also a skill shot on the plunge. Super satisfying to hit that combo.
I've gotten Ninjapocalypse before but didn't understand how it happened. Good to know! Thanks
Quoted from Rickwh:Also i seem To get most reliable snikt shots when attempting to shoot from cradle on left flipper straight up the middle spinner/wolverine shot. Seems to just go like butter up that shot when it works. But i cant do it on purpose at will yet of course.
So the straight up the mid shot seems like the “ easiest “? To hit it. Everything else is just random bank shots?
Had a buddy of mine stop by last night and he managed to get to Sauron, I mean why wouldn't he. it was his first time playing the game and I've had it over a week now and cant even come close....but I digress. He didn't beat him and the next time he went into a battle, Sauron wasn't selectable and all the guys he beat already where back but you could fight them again with Sauron on their team this time around. Just thought that was weird. Does Sauron become selectable again at some point?
Quoted from glpinball:No, not until you progress through every wizard mode in the game and loop back around again. You can search out the rules on the Internet if you want detail on the wizard modes.
Ok got it thanks. Thats pretty messed up , so when you get to him you pretty much HAVE to beat him or " see ya later"! ah well.
Quoted from gambit3113:When the first 3 battles are back, they are coupled with Sauron. Notice that there is a little Sauron icon of his head on the top right of the screen. You actually have separate high scores for Sauron + Juggernaut, Sauron + Mystique, & Sauron + Sabretooth. It's all part of the progression.
http://tiltforums.com/t/deadpool-rulesheet/4311
Thanks, Yeah I saw that after I searched but couldn't find anything on there that said you cant actually beat sauron . Unless I'm reading it wrong. So he is basically a huge scoring machine if you can keep the balls in play?
Quoted from TinyBlackDog:DP Premium finally delivered. Only had time to cut the box off and inspect for damage - and it looks good. My Lucsor katana handle, Stern art blades + pop bumper caps, and Pinmonk mode/multiplier brackets and quiet fan all arrived yesterday. So excited to be back in the club!

Best cabinet art ever in my opinion.
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:Well nobody answered my previous posts, let’s see if I have better luck now…
What do you guys have the scoop power set to? 255 or less?
What is a good foam to add by the diverter/katana? I am getting a lot of balls bouncing off onto the playfield after climbing the diverter. Annoying.
I want this fix to look good so if there is a proper foam to put it that looks stock it would be great.
I’m eagerly awaiting a response to you. I just got the game last week and have the same issue. Also most scoop shots bounce right out.
Quoted from glpinball:For the scoop I would check the stock scoop protector. Maybe it's misaligned or twisted or something? The stock one on mine twisted apart after a few months and I replaced with a Cliffy.
Ill check it out. MOST times the ball goes in but it seems a lot of the shots are so hard and fast it doesn't catch. I don't know, I'm just speculating. I'm also having the same problem Pin_Fandango is having with the katana/diverter ramp ( sometimes ).
Quoted from lookyloo:Before increasing my pitch to 7.0, I was getting scoop rejects. Now it drops straight in on a clean shot.
I haven’t experienced any balls hopping off the katana after going up the diverter ramp. I would try some neoprene rubber on the backstop on the katana.
Ill check my pitch when I get home later on. Nothing is really ( terrible ) I've just been noticing a few things here and there after a bunch of games. I guess that's with most of these things anyways .....hah
Pics to follow later but in transit a nice chunk of the back left corner ( top part ) broke off into an L shape. I'm not TOO pissed because its hidden when the backbox is up, but what do you guys recommend ? Wood glue? it also looks like there are staples in it? And is this something in the future that's going to ruin any kind of resale?
Quoted from northerndude:Yes it will.
Is it new or used?
New you should have recourse from shipping. but used- well SOL and will have to figure out a repair
P.s- may not matter, who’d ever sell their DP anyway??!!
Its new, it was shipped to the FedEx warehouse near me. Got it home and opened it up and that part was chipped off. Not sure what I really can do about that. Heading to home depot later to get some glue and whatever else I think I would need. Shit happens ♂️
haha I ask myself why anyone would sell their MB or AFM but hey I guess people get bored.
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:The first layer on these cabs is very soft, it is some paper type material, I believe to save on the painting process.
Fill it will Fiber glass infused filler (mask up to save your lungs) sand and paint that section black.
Alternatively, you can glue this part back if it sits down nice and flush. Glue, clamp, fill the gaps.
It is a easy repair really. If you need a hand let me know I can guide you.
Thanks, I’ll see what I can do first with glue and clamps . See how that fits. I’m going to have to do some touch up paint either way. Once I get my shit together and start this I’ll send you some pics.
WizMod speaker panels for my Premium shipped today. What's funny about these is its the first thing people notice when they come over to play. Deadpool doesn't have them on yet. They really do make a difference, cant wait. Looking at their aprons also.
The ones on Maiden look amazing.
Quoted from wtatumjr:Everything I've bought from Wizard has been of great quality . I'll be adding Wiz blades and speaker surround also. Wiz blades have a flatter finish than Tilt graphics so look a tiny bit better IMHO...but it's a small difference.
I'm not liking most of the Blades for this game, even the Stern "official ones". They just seem......off to me. I might go mirror for the first time with this one.
The Colossus shot........im new to the game. Is this shot supposed to have a path that its "supposed to go to" or is it random? Sometimes it comes out and goes right into the inlane on the right side. Other times it just bounces around randomly. Just wondering.
Quoted from DudeRegular:If you hit it just right it hits the target for the Colossus Jackpot which scores 10% when lit. The target is actually facing away from the player. Awesome little detail.
Ill take a look at it closer, didn't know it faced that way. That's pretty cool!
Quoted from Eskaybee:Can’t decide which is my favorite shot in this game. Pretty crazy how many satisfying shots it has, anyone have a favorite?
• left loop return to right flipper
• Successful Colossus shot
• Snikt shot
• Katana ramp
• Ninjapocalypse
• left loop return to right flipper
Over and over again.....all day.
Quoted from Smack:I am at ~4000 plays and pretty much the same. Replaced the coil stops cause the factory ones are crap, and other than routine cleaning and ball replacement I've replaced more coil sleeves than anything else to keep the flippers snappy.
I still have yet to do that on any of my machines. And never have done that before. When I go to Marco and type in deadpool premium this comes up. Is this the one I should buy a few of and have on hand just in case?
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/515-6308-01
I've seen a few you tube videos on how to do it so I can probably swing it when something happens.
Quoted from fooflighter:Maybe gaudy overkill but that's the theme of the pin
[quoted image]
That looks sick. I still think DP Premium has to COOLEST looking art on it than any other pin out there. I even moved my Maiden Pre to the middle so I can see DP better.
Wizmod speaker panels came yesterday! Look great! The one thing that scared the hell out of me was the screws holding the Deadpool plate on the top left of the speaker panel weren't Philips head screws, I thought they were at first and where stripped! But turns out after being nervous for about 5 minutes they where torx head screws. WTF! Thankfully I have a set of those , but what the hell.
Quoted from daveddd14:I really like how this looks on the premium thanks for sharing the pic, once mine comes in I will order this as well. Looks better than the one on the pro IMO.
I love them on my games. First thing I order, then shaker motor
