I got in on it b/c it's my favorite game. It was the first game I played in a tournament (tilted on ball one in seconds) and played horribly. Hated it and stayed away from it until I was in Vegas and Sal from the Hall of Fame asked me if i wanted to learn how to get to Jericho or Do or Die (didn't know what he was talking about then) and after that I learned the game and loved how simple and brutal it was.

Looked for them but the price was too high so I just figured I'd never get one or get one if/when I was rich. Then VE came out and I was in right away. Can't wait to get it at home - just played a nicely modded one this past weekend that had these cool LED lights on the apron that was really cool - hadn't seen that before.

Damn dude that's some serious recordkeeping!

Someone got pix of an IM with blades? I have a shaker but no sub or blades - was never a mod guy but IM seems ripe for it.

Anyone know if you can do/it has Tournament Mode on IM VE?

Was gonna open it up and do one before anyone has a chance to practice on it but it doesn't look like it comes w/the button?

Mine shipped yesterday as well - via Roadrunner - not sure when it's arriving but maybe Wednesday too I guess?

I agree!

What's peoples opinions on subs in the cab vs on the floor? Personally i'd rather have it in the cabinet to make it more integrated but what's the pros/cons?

Man so I am in Vegas for photoshoots and my IM VE arrived at my studio while I was already out here so I decided to play the IM at PHOF. Got my initials up but the right flipper got stuck - was mostly playing to compare it against the VE when I get home (you can see the score and my initials and the stuck flipper which caused me to lose my stacked War Machine + Whiplash - doh! 2014-07-25-20.48.45.jpg

Let us know how it earns - hope it does well! I play the broken one near my house at least once a visit even though it's totally lame and you can't hit the ramps

Finally got mine set up today - realized I never had opened a NIB and my friend opened the coin door and was like "smell this" - it was the New Pinball Smell which smells a lot like Home Depot I thought

Here's a few pix:

Oh yeah to move the right post do you have to remove the ramp?

opening mine all the way!

Anyone know what the Directors Cut does?

Finally opened up the right inlane and set it to Medium since my employees were getting frustrated with how hard it was to get Monger up Will see who has initials up after we get back to the studio from our shoot out of town the next six days.

I was thinking the same - think the first hit it just kind drops it but other hits will wing it like crazy - had two SDTO (straight down the outlane?) that killed a great game

I've played a lot more on old school IM than my VE but most of them seemed to require a bit of a slap to the right side to keep it from hitting the right sling. If you watch PAPA videos a lot of guys will slap the side and live catch it on the right flipper so i think that's normal.

Got the shaker, sub and cup holder installed and played with a bunch of friends yesterday and cranked it up - so much fun! Also added the Tournament button so my employees can have a work tournament on it and hopefully I can create some new players. Have it set up pretty hard though so they do complain a bit but hey it'll make them play better

Awesome this is great to hear. I've put mine at my photography studio and the employees here love it. I have also been asked to do a trial test run of putting it at a new children's hospital opening up in our neighborhood and have agreed to do so - that's why it's good to hear that kids and others like it. Mine is set up as hard as possible but I will have to soften it up for the kids when we put it in the hospital

Quick question, I wanna move my outlane posts, but not sure the nut drive size that's required? I need to buy the right one. Does anyone know what the nut for the outlane posts is size wise for a nut driver? Thanks!

Solved it - the nuts on the bottom of the outlane posts are 5/16" for future reference. Having them wide open was just too brutal. After competing on it at the PAPA circuit event at Expo they only had the posts on the next to furthest open so that's how I have mine set now.

That's what I was thinking since I have no idea the value of completing Jericho (since I never can do that! - but since it's a countdown it's rare that he would've hit it exactly as it was 25,000,000 at 2x?

I can't wait to get back to the studio to play it - this trip has kept me away from pinball for over 6 days ah!
