Does anyone have a lead on a NIB Elvira? I have one on order but was told Jan - Feb before Stern makes more. Sites that have them listed don't really have them. Thanks!

I tried the link and it adds $533 tax. Any sites tax free?

I just ordered from Mike at Pinballs.com. Gave me 2.5% discount for cash but charges for shipping so it comes out about even. Thanks everyone! Now I have to figure out how to tell my wife I have this and Attack from Mars remake on order.

I'm in the club-best pin yet!

I've only had Elvira a few days now but WOW what a great machine! A must have for any collection. 'Especially like the gargoyles.

Is there any flipper strength adjustment? I can't seem to left flip the left ramp without it loosing speed and returning.

I've had EHOH for about a week now and my AFMr arrived yesterday. AFM is very, very good but if I could only have one game it would be Elvira - it's a must have. Very deep and entertaining...and funny!.

This pin is probably the best I've ever played. Stern knocked it out of the park. I don't mind paying a lot for a great interactive topper but at least Stern should make it worth the money. I just don't see it thus far.

The build quality is not as good as Chicago gaming but is good enough. Stern's have a lighter feel than JJP's as they are 100 pounds lighter. That said EHOH is so good it is my favorite and not by just a little bit. The programing and game design are outstanding. It's very funny too.

I played three 2 player games and got a trailer for each player every time.

I just added PSW10 sub and Pinnovator's sub junction. Worth the $120 and $35.

I have a Yamaha sub sharing my GB and AS and I agree a more expensive sub is better. But the Polk is good enough
..not bad for the money

I was thinking the same. Maybe you could hit both flippers to advance.

Wow! Didn't know you had to wait for countdown. Thanks

Likewise, I saw games listed but were waiting lists. I DID find one in stock at Pinballs.com and bought it but if was a few weeks ago .

I would suggest anybody a rather crappy player like me start their games set on 4 or 5 balls per game just to see the amazing depth and different modes. Then dial it back to 3 balls.

I'm retired. I play for fun, never in competition.

You DID remove the foam and pull ties under the playfield?

Manster is actually not to bad. I was never an Elvira fan(not available in my areao but 'am trying to catch up. On Amazon Prime they have most of the movies. Besides the Elvira pin stuff try "13 Nights of Elvira" - "Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death" and "Evil Bong" are decent. Anybody know what movie plays during "Wild women multiball"?

Rare Elvira "Happy Feet" edition

Game feature #156 lets you shorten the trailer clip or turn it off.

I just rewaxed my gargoyles as I noticed they weren't hitting the glass anymore. Machine is back like new!

It's a shame Stern did this. JJP kept the WOZECLE price at$6500 for the first 500 even though they lost money. Still, this game is worth it. At least they could throw in another toy and powder coat for the extra $500. Maybe call it the X edition.

I think the test balloon was the $1000 topper that sold out quickly. At least they didn't try to squeeze another $200 on top of that.

Swamp gator is about $10, from Amazon

I was thinking a bloody doll leg but I like your idea better.

For anyone wanting the alligator mod , I tried siliconing
the gator to the deadhead ramp but the glue didn't hold. I drilled a hole in his right foot and mounted to the right outlane with better results.

I would imagine Stern would have an opto to trigger the mode. Your problem might be a bad or misaligned opto.

Also remember it takes 1 pass to start the first mode, two for the second, etc.

Just a warning if your gargoyles hit the glass, they will eventually break off the post. Best to add a limiter, a piece of tape around the shaft will work.

There is a long shaft the gargoyles are mounted on. Find the end of the shaft under the plafield. Tape off 3 or so inches above the limiter screw at the very bottom of the shaft-I used duck tape. The tape stops the gargoyle shaft at the shaft guide.

Taped end vs factory

I loved them hitting the glass. They stopped doing it so I lubricated the shafts. Trouble is it will eventually wear out the gargoyle plastic where it is mounted on the shaft

Added life saver to croc.

Anybody notice how nasty the balls are? I got this game the same week as AFMr and the EHOH balls are dull and pitted. It's not a biggie as I have ordered new ones but I've never had another game do this so fast.

This is the brand I bought. You can get 30 for $28.90 at Amazon

If he's saying "Gappa...Gappa angry!" Then it's in there.

Gargoyle should not hit glass as it will eventually break off.
I tried making stops out of pull ties but they would not stay in position. A little duck tape about 3 inches from the bottom works fine. You can reglue gargoyle.

Also, your ball problem-make sure your pin is set at correct angle and especially level left to right. Otherwise you might have investigate further.

The gargoyles will break off. I like the sound as well as the next person. The paint will also wear off the head leaving a white head. I doubt gargoyles are designed to snap off.
