What did the LEs sell for new street price ?

#6528 3 years ago

Yeah I always wondered about that GAP, is it something they fixed in later builds or just luck of the draw?

#6556 3 years ago

Joined the club ! What makes Elvira pop up on the topper? It works but haven’t seen it in gameplay .

Where the best place to read all the rules on this game ?

#6599 3 years ago

Ok so fat first I was really not into the theme of all these old B movies and such but what a great game , it’s no super brutal like most of my sterns which is a nice break . It can really flow if you get going , and the rules a very deep but don’t seem overly impossible to accomplish many of the objectives . Tons of cool toys !!

With all that said still trying to figure this thing out is there an more up to date breakdown of the Rules somewhere ?

#6605 3 years ago

Damn too slow

I’ll do an animated gif !

#6638 3 years ago

Do all the gargoyles have those set screws ? I may be missing one had a gargoyle go airborne with the glass off

#6643 3 years ago

My wife hates that thing ! I may need to sell mine

#6646 3 years ago

Elvira fans .. so I am thinking of getting the dates of Elviras Movie Macabre on my tomb mod . What be be appropriate dates you think ? Original season ended in 86 but some
Of these movies in the game aired until
2011 and there www even a series in 2013z

So 1981 - ??

#6650 3 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

The series had a few iterations. The first ran for 5 seasons from 1981 to 1986. The second iteration was just 1 season that was in syndication from 2010-2011. Stern has the rights to the video assets from that season (26 public domain movies plus all the Elvira video bits from that season). There was another short reiteration on Hulu streaming that was just 13 episodes which was made for the 2013 Halloween season.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira%27s_Movie_Macabre

Thanks thinking maybe 1981 - 2011 , technically the others ones are not “movie macabre” or part of the game .

Is there aby anywhere to stream all the old shows ?

#6653 3 years ago
Quoted from jake35:

Is there any reason to buy the LE over the premium? Other than the powder coating I can't see much else.

LE Adds
Powder
Mirrored Backglass vs translite
Different side art
Shaker
Invisiglass
LE only side blades
Speaker Upgrade
and being an LE with signatures and such

Game play wise identical, if anything a brand new premium probably has some updates.

#6658 3 years ago

Yes I love a real backglass ... just picked up some CPR ones for monster bash and World Cup . Now all my games are glass but CV as that’s not gonna happen

#6667 3 years ago
Quoted from TheCreature:

I asked Medisinyl for the same thing. I went with 1981-1986

Nice we will have to compare notes on how we want it to look

It’s this or my LE number ?

#6668 3 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

ShoutFactoryTV has some of the 81-86 Elvira episodes available on their free streaming channel. If you are fan of cheesy movies, Shout also has a streaming channel24/7 of MST3K shows as well.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

The 2010 season is also on Amazon Prime

Thanks I will look for them .. I think I like the idea of 80s Elvira best !! Haha

#6671 3 years ago
Quoted from jfh:

IMHO, LE number is boring (and limits resale if you ever get tired of the mod).

Yeah I mean the mod would go with the machine if I ever sold it, no way I tire of that mod its killer haha!

With the said I had a new idea.

RIP
Bally Williams
1932-1999

could just do Bally or B/W

feedback welcome but from what I can tell the first bally machine was 1932

#6686 3 years ago
Quoted from Mikedenton49:

So no-one knows the best way to remove the house? C'mon, somebody toss me a bone. Please?

I have asked for the latest ruleset too, crickets LOL Maybe they are too complex!

#6750 3 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

I decided to add a some bling to my Elvira House of Horrors apron. It now continuously plays all 26 trailers from the 2010 Elvira Movie Macabre season. These are the 26 movies that are used for the game assets. The OLED display looks much better in person than it does in the videos. The scanlines in the video arent there when you see it live.
Would people be interested in this mod?

I tried to stick with the design of the orignal plastic but with a live OLED display in place of the static artwork.
Original plastics:

New plastics with built in display:

Very cool I have a similar idea in mind but more universal . Just never have the time
Do you have to drink the apron ? My only hesitation would be doing that on an LE for example.

#6752 3 years ago

Answered my own question add me to LE list . I’d make it say LE for that one IMO.

#6758 3 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

Did you mean to say drill the apron? No permanent change to the apron is needed. My mod is mounted to a new plastic that replaces the current plastic. So it's easy to install as well as uninstall if you wanted to go back to stock.

Lol yes

It’s wood vs a hard steel ball not much you can do .

#6817 3 years ago
Quoted from Utesichiban:

Time will tell. I think they can be bought new for less than $8500, though... at least after the next batch. This assumes they don't get another price increase

Quoted from Utesichiban:

I think "street price" is about $8200, I have one on deposit but I just picked up an LE so I may let that one go. Or sell my LE for crazy $$$ and buy the brand new dimple free premium so I can then get upset when it dimples LOL.

I do think we will see at least 1 or 2 small runs and the prices will stabilize for a little bit.

#6820 3 years ago

Already ordered some or I would .. next !

#6847 3 years ago

I think the code is REALLY good as is but Lyman will swoop in with some final polish I am sure .

#6861 3 years ago

Do you guys find you dont often hit all the targets to light the trunk? Just doesn't seem to happen often on my game?

#6948 3 years ago

Does anyone know the size of the screw and nut that goes on the gargoyle? I lost one, found the screw but not the nut

#6967 3 years ago

Good work and attention to detail! I need this mod like I need a hole in my head but I am still in

#6994 3 years ago
Quoted from KrisGonzo:

I'll take one please, thanks.

Me 4 ! Just ordered the protectors too

#7473 3 years ago

So the consensus is we are safe to upgrade to the latest code?

#7476 3 years ago

Probably was shipped to your distro USPS and then you UPS or vice Versa.

#7615 3 years ago
Quoted from Cheeks:

Anyone know of any distributors with available Prems? I snoozed and my distributor sold his last one on Friday.

I found and LE so my spot may be available

#7694 3 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

Are you happy with the generic headphone jack? I assume that is from PBL?
I think the Stern one looks better, but it's literally twice as much money, and I can't imagine that there is any difference in performance/sound quality.

I have both generic is fine .. I kinda like the larger knob too . Best pet is external volume control !

Quoted from jfh:

I presume the pics are just mock-ups because there is no QR reader on the right side.
So - do any LE or SLE owners think this new edition devalues their game?

Probably

#9888 2 years ago

Confirmed 25K MSRP, as much as I love this game wife doesn't been pondering selling it for the right price then this news hit lol

#10143 2 years ago

I wonder if you can make your own insider connected with a wifi adapter and camera?

#10147 2 years ago
Quoted from Gotfrogs:

Godzilla had this 16gb one in it. Thankfully I had another 16gb one on hand (different brand). Elvira formatted it for me when it booted up.
[quoted image]

What did you use as the QR code scanner? Or did you remove it from Zilla?

#10151 2 years ago
Quoted from Damonator:

The Insider Connected kits are due any day at distribs/retailers. That’s why we just got the big code push.

Yeah, but they are not selling them to consumers!?
