Just got done playing and got over 5 billion. Got Cherry Bomb Multiball and Immolation Initiative multiball. Got over 4 billion just on Immolation. Kinda funny though since I have never broke a billion ever. Best before this was 600 million. Didn't have my phone to take a picture. Will have to do that later. Time for a beer

Just for proof, and I know, crappy Iphone pictures. 4.6 billion on Immolation, 5.7 billion overall. Tried taking a picture of Cherry Bomb at 176 million, but believe it or not, that picture was even worse than these 2. I'll probably never get there again. When I did Immolation, don't even know what I was hitting since I was just concentrating on the flippers and not where the balls went. I just kept hearing Rocket tell me "Scoring Multiplier".

Nice score. You have finished Xandar 4 times and I haven't even reached it once. I need to play more and practice. Usually this game kicks my butt and frustrates me, but I keep coming back for more.

I did orange on the flippers, clear on the slings, and purple everywhere else. I got the Cliffy post sleeves and they are holding up just fine.

I did the washer trick and wouldn't catch a lot since the ball coming out of the orb lock would not hit the post sleeve hard enough. I then realized I didn't have enough pitch on the game, so I increased the pitch a little, now the ball hits the right post sleeve which guides it to the magnet every time.

I had to make mine a little steeper to work. Had it even in the bubble level and it didn't work. Raised the pitch so the top of the bubble touches the top line and it works every time. Makes ramps a little tougher if it's not a clean shot.

He doesn't always update his site to show what is available. If you don't see it, just email him. I know he makes it since I got it from him.

When it comes out of orb lock, does it bounce off the right post and go to the left? Or does it just come straight down?

That's weird. If you could load a video of it so we could see what it is exactly doing, that would help out. I know for mine originally, didn't have it pitched enough and the ball would barely go to the left and the magnet would not catch it all the time. Increased the pitch, and now when the drop target lowers, it bounces the ball back a little, it then bumps off the right post to go to the left even more now, and the magnet grabs it good like the video shows that Sinestro put up. Maybe a timing thing since now it takes an extra second from the ball getting bounced back a little then coming out.

Mine was doing the same thing, but maybe even worse as the magnet would only alter course maybe 1 out of 6-7 times. I put the washers under the magnet core so that it was touching the play field, didn't do too much. Then I raised the back leg adjusters so now the bubble just touches the top line(was in the middle before), and it works all the time real good. Catch's the ball and makes it do a couple circles before it releases it.

just edited post as I didn’t read your response correctly. I’m at a loss. Sorry I can’t be more help.

You can get them from Pinball Life here:

Super easy to install and waaaay better.

Mine does the same thing. It even would get stuck some times behind Groot and would have to shake it to get it to roll. Raised the back so now the bubble is just touching the top line on the level. Now it comes out every time, but it does come out slow. Watching the ball, it bounces side to side and just clears the gate to slowly go behind Groot, but not enough to loop around.

The same day after reading these posts in the morning, my dad plays the game, and all of a sudden I hear him yelling and swearing at the machine cause ball came out of orb, spun in 2-3 circles, and shot sdtm. Couldn't help but just laugh and tell him about these posts.

I put on the Cliffy's post sleeves on mine and the magnet catch's every time. Makes the ball do a couple circles and then who knows where it goes. Maybe they are bigger than the originals so it gives me the bounce out of the orb lock and over the magnet.

I did purple everywhere except the slings which I did clear.

You have to complete 4 missions. Don't need Groot or Orb multiball. After completing 4 missions, you have to shoot it in the scoop to start and then the mayhem begins.

I put on Cliffy post sleeves which are a little thicker than stock, so now when the ball gets released from the orb lock, it bounces more to the magnet which catch's it and makes it spin. Make sure it's at 6.5 pitch so it doesn't float and miss the magnet.

You should have told him to head to the light because that would mean his head would be coming out of his arse

Check the flipper gap as to make sure it isn't to tight.

You might want to leave it unplugged as that bastard will shoot it into a drain half the time

I put on Cliffy post protectors which are a little bigger than stock which kicks the ball more to the magnet and it catches every time. Now if the magnet just didn't send it down the middle every so often

My slope is about 6.5 with the Cliffy post sleeve and running Cleland code-Sinestro version, and it catches every time. Also have the washers to put the magnet closer to the playfield.
