    Lightning Bolt Flipper bats now on the store (YELLOW, WHITE, BLACK, RED (regular red, not blood red) 20-9734-X

    These are injected parts, so there should no issues as had been experienced with a previous incarnation of them.

    We are still working on getting the 'blood red' color corect, so that will take a little time ... stay tuned on that

    Awesome!

    Are the standard size blood reds generally available?

    #55 10 years ago

    Been thinking about this, why put them on? The game is difficult as is and it was not designed to have them. They were put on games to suck in more quarters, not improve game play. If you put them on bsd, why not put them on all games? While it will make you better (and maybe a little more insane), I don't see why such a push to put these on exists. Game is a blast without them.

    I didn't vote because I never tried the lightning flippers, maybe I need to just try them. They are cheap enough and I think easy enough to put on and switch back if I want.

    Because that's what they were shipped with and that's part of what makes BSD a hard game and unique. Thought they totally don't match the color scheme...

    #57 10 years ago

    It's not unique, other games had them. The game is very hard with regular flippers.

    Sorry, not trying to argue, only trying to justify buying them. Will cost me about $22 with shipping.

    #58 10 years ago

    I think an owner of six pins can justify the $22 flipper cost pretty easily. If you don't want them/think they are unnecessary/game wasn't designed with them/etc then don't buy them.

    I am sort of in the same vein. The game is hard as it is and yeah I could make it harder but it just kills me when someone who doesn't play that much pinball won't give it a chance because the machine is too mean.
