"Lethal Jordan". A one-of-a-kind Michael Jordan/LW3 pinball machine w/ one-of-a-kind backglass art.

Data East pinball requested myself to create new Michael Jordan artwork to be incorporated onto the Limited Edition Michael Jordan pinball machines that were auctioned off annually at the Michael Jordan Foundation benefit dinner. The prototype artwork ended up not being reproduced with the other Michael Jordan LE pins. As a gesture, Data East gifted myself the Michael Jordan dmd rom software & the artwork reproduced on a translite backglass. The backglass & the software were added to the LW3 pin, then customized in black with red & white Kai Art logo making it a one-of-a-kind pinball collectible.

This machine plays EXACTLY like the Limited Edition Michael Jordan pinball. Only difference is that the playfield, gun launcher, and cabinet are Lethal Weapon 3. All the game rules are the same. Bear in mind that this is NOT the LE Jordan pin with Jordan playfield and red 23 Jumpman cabinet, it is the LE Jordan game with the one-of-a-kind prototype Data East approved artwork translite backglass, dmd rom software & sounds, music etc., on a LW3 cabinet & playfield, customized.

Game is in good condition. Only 150+ plays. Comes with LW3 dmd rom programs (you get TWO different games), Lethal Weapon 3 Operations Manual along with (Bonus) optional button ball launcher with purchase. The 3 bottom right drop targets need adjustment to pop up after hit. Few minor hard-to-notice scratches on cabinet.

Plays great and is a one-of-a-kind piece!

Ehh...well, since it's a customized game, it's likely to be worth considerably less, not more.

The real Michael Jordon game looks like this: https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=3425

Collectors are more likely to see this game as being "ruined" rather than "improved".

It looks like the cabinet artwork was just painted over, so maybe the black paint can be removed without harming the original artwork underneath.

Also, I doubt the game has had only 150 plays in its entire lifetime. That's probably just since the last time the batteries were changed.

So a retheme makes it worth 4x more? Nope. It's a retheme, not a prototype. Big difference. I personally wouldn't give 1500 for it, but that's my opinion. It's doesn't have any true collectability.

Dude it is imamaculate! Please check your facts before you post. </troll>

I especially like the 3s that are still on the speaker grills and the topper. Really ties the whole theme together.

I think the gun ties the game in even better than the 3's. BTW, if you look close at the playfield, it hasn't even been altered. You'd think for this price that the playfield would have be repainted with Bulls-Jordan stuff and cleared.

If they would of found a way to put a number 2 in from of the 3 on the speaker grill I would be in for for this at $9,000. I already have a LW3 but I don't have a MJ edition LW3 with Kai Art. "they got away"

Yes. OP installed the custom MJ code that was written for a one-off (or three-off, I guess) retheme that Data East made for a charity auction back in the 1990s. OP's machine has the code from that, with what appears to be a homemade MJ translite, stuck on a LW3 machine with the standard LW3 playfield, with the cabinet repainted to advertise the guy's art business. Hard to see how this machine is of value to anyone but the seller, but time will tell.

Here are some more pictures of what the actual, official MJ retheme looks like:

How could I miss the gun?! Probably because it comes with a button.

Didn't MJ's dad get shot???? Just with a little touch up on the playfield, he could incorporate Danny Glover to look like MJ's dad. That would easily jump the game up in the 10k range......thoughts???

It's still using the exact same playfield as a LW3 and is not also MJ themed? This means the home-brew re-theme is only partially completed?
