Any Deadpool owners here that also have a Tron? Looking for opinions or preferences.

I’ve been lusting for a DP Prem for some time now. I wasn’t able to find one so recently picked up a Tron instead. I love the soundtrack, the crazy fast gameplay and the overall mood it brings, but I’m not hitting the start button as much as I hoped… that may change once I start understanding the rules a little more however.

So those who have both, what’s your choice? Wondering whether I sell the Tron and put the $ towards a NIB Prem.

Just put a deposit down on a DP Premium, super bloody excited. I've been wanting one forever, but there rarely on the 2nd hand market.

What are the must have mods? The LE came with the great art blades, I can't seem to find any decent aftermarket art blades. Do most folk go mirror blades?

I use PDI on all my pins. Easily the best mod.

What about mirror blades vs art blades on DP?

Yep! In on a premium

I think the red contrasts with the Blue decals really well, I think I'll follow suit. Without doing something about the T-Moulding on the Headbox, I'm not convinced with the blue... the colour on it's own is nice however.

Looks awesome!! Any chance you have video footage?

Put me down for one of those handles!! Looks great!!

So like a number of people in here, I have a deposit down on the next run of Deadpool Premiums. But after seeing the Godzilla reveal yesterday… holy hell… what a pin… what to do?!

Is anyone else in the same boat, wondering whether to jump ship??

I do love ass kicking games. Quicksilver, JP and Rick & Morty cop more play than any others at home. I've been looking for a DP for ages, for exactly the reasons you've mentioned above. Most likely a case of the shiny new object, however for the same price, it's hard not to be impressed by the absolutely loaded Godzilla.

The more I watch the stream, the more I think DP is the right one. I think it'll likely compliment my line up more.

I think what you’ve said is the key to Deadpool. It’s just so much damn fun! Godzilla does have a bit of a serious tone about it which may become a little draining.

I completely understand what you mean. I have a JP and I do get burnout from it on occasion. It’s a fkn brilliant pin in so many ways, but it’s incredibly intense. I’ll often need a few games of WCS94 afterwards to reduce my blood pressure.I can see Deadpool offering a similar levity.

Any chance you can post a pic showing off the blades installed. Still on the fence about mirror blades or art.

Not something I would have originally considered, but the looks great!!

Zax was happy to take a deposit from me… and also happy to advise the invoiced price was no longer valid

Can you divulge any further info? I'm in Oz, but ordered a Prem 7-8 months ago. My distributor has stated Feb-Mar for a while now, but everything was leading me to believe it'll be end of the year, if at all.

Thanks for clarifying Insanity, congrats!!

I'm yet to receive my DP Prep, but it doesn't stop me considering powder coating options haha. I'm transitioning to a new computer so most of my pics etc are archived... but a couple I have sitting on my desktop... Personally, I'm thinking the metallic red option, contrasts beautifully.

Thanks Lucxor, I received my handle in the mail today (Melbourne, Australia). Sadly still no Deadpool Pinball to install it into, but had the chance to take a close look and your handy work.

The handle is beautifully crafted, the multiple colour gels are a great touch and the insert to place them into is precision stuff. A really professional mod you should be proud of. A world of difference to the original Stern.

Keep up the great work!! And thanks!

Don't you just love how Kaneda has personally added a glowing appraisal of Kaneda's Twipy win from Gary haha. Even a quick look shows the text after "Best Regards" has clearly been added after the fact.

What a conceited, self indulgent ass clown!!

Haha!! I'm the same. I recently picked up a Iron Maiden Premium, with my parked Deadpool Premium money... "sadly", Iron Maiden has become an instant fav at home... I need to find some money fast!!... and space haha.

Sweeeett, very jelly!!! Will likely do the same with my Katana when it arrives.... not sure I'll be able to handle having it offline so soon after receiving it though haha.

BTW, has anyone got any before/after katana chroming pics.

Yo Ceemonkey, which Pinwoofer did you go for? I have a Premium in bound so thinking of doing the same upgrade.

Just heard from my distributor in Australia the container is loaded from Stern and payment is due... exciting times.

T Moulding on yet?

Whats the general consensus on the Extra Ball situation with Deadpool? I picked up a DP Prem last week and have been a little surprised by the amount of extra balls it dishes out. My other pins force you to work pretty hard to achieve one, so feel like I need to wind it back a notch or two. Pin is NIB so factory settings.

Also a side note, the latest playfields are pretty disappointing in regards to art quality. Looks very printed!

Out of the box, Deadpool is easily the darkest pinball I've ever owned. I put installed some DIY Pinstadiums and it's made a huge difference. My home "arcade" is quite dark, tracking the ball on DP, which is a quick machine was difficult to say the least. Much much better now.

Definitely worth trying the DIY route. The app allows you dial in the amount of extra ambient light you want... win win.

After a roughly 15 month wait, Deadpool Premium has finally joined the lineup.

Yeah me too! Super simple, but never gets old.

Anyone had issues with their mirror ball not spinning?

I've got a NIB DP Premium, and while I vaguely remember the mirror ball spinning the first night I unpacked the pin, it now doesn't work. The connections seem solid, the board underneath seem in tact and the motor itself appear correct. Within the service menu I've enabled the mirror ball and nothing... unsure what to check next.

Yep. And as per previous message, even manually switching it on via the service menu doesn’t work.

Put in a ticket a few days back but nothing yet. So no one has experienced the mirror ball failing?

For those in a similar boat with a failed Disco Ball, like anything, it's usually something simple. Pulled out the manual, traced the wires through the node boards and found the culprit, a loose wire in one of the connectors. All solved.
