I am contemplating on pulling the trigger on a NIB with build date of june 2020
I played a game on my DIST floor model also with build date of June 2020.
The gargoils are not moving up when hit on his new build.
Does anyone know if Stern changed the design on the gargoils jumping/ hitting glass? Its a cool feature!!
Did they change the new builds and omit the jumping gargoils for some reason?
Quoted from docquest:I doubt they would undo that feature. My guess it's a new game and maybe they forgot to removing the shipping foam under the playfield that keeps the gargoyles from moving during shipping.
Thank you
That was it.
He did NOT remove shipping foam!
Quoted from Jecco74:Is anyone having problems with the ball getting stuck under the house on the left side of the house? I happens during a multiball or if the ball goes in there too slow.
I did have this problem. It was happening during a multiball or GAPPA. I played around with the pitch and leveling and now it doesn't happen anymore.
Quoted from sirlonzelot:I got my Elvira yesterday. Are there nice instruction cards out there?
I bought mine from here and I believe they are better in person than the pics or videos. I bought for 5 of my pins
20210212_095604 (resized).jpgFirst time I reached to sell the house. I went down stairs to load the new code on Avengers and decided to play Elvira while I was waiting. Well I never got to play Avengers, because after 2 short warm up games. I blew it up. I reached Gappa 3 times, Made directors cut 3 times, made it through the house 3 times! and finally sold the house. Based on the fact that I got wild market value at the end , I imagine its a pretty good price.
Game is coded great. My favorite is the trailer mode after you complete the house!
20210304_224150 (resized).jpg20210304_224244 (resized).jpgQuoted from BroMan90:I consider myself a pretty decent pinball player and in the 8 months I've had the game I've only completed grappa twice. I absolutely LOVE the challenge this mode introduces to the game. It surely gives even advanced player a goal to shoot for.
I made it to Gappa 3 times in the same game the other night. I only made it to the Gappa 5 ball lock one time in that game. Game took over an hour. Best way to qualify Gappa is by getting your multi balls running. Try to keep them running for a while and keep making shots. Also extra balls are given after 2 crypt completions and after 2 completed haunts granting you 2 directors cut blue inserts lit. That will help give you a little more longevity.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:I definitely am excited. I am 50 with Parkinson’s and my health is worsening and pinball gives me great joy besides my wife and kids. And my wife and kids love the game and so does my son who has autism.
So my situation is different. Playing pinball takes my mind off of life and my health problems and EHOH is just a near perfect pin for me and my family. Makes me feel like a kid again waiting for Christmas.
Sad to hear about your health problems. Wish you the best of health for you and your family in the future. I see you are loving pinball!! Thanks for sharing your story!!
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Your most welcome and appreciate your kind words. God gives us all trials to bare and with getting through them we can help others who are going through tough times. I started in 2019 and have 8 pins and got hooked immediately. I sold Bally KISS, Cyclone, Stern Disco, and Space Jam. The wife fell in love with the newer pins so sold to buy new pins which unfortunately is part of this hobby.
Only so much space and need to shake up the lineup. There’s worse things to spend money on and love passing on the love of pinball to my kids. I love that my kids enjoy the things my wife and I loved growing up in the 70’s and 80’s.
Just waiting for Godzilla and this year will be pinball gold for me.
You seem like a cool dude. I hope our paths cross someday. I restarted around the same time as you started. This Hobby is addicting.
