Video here of the new mirrored window version in attract mode and some other things (SD card filled on the gopro before I finished). This one has the added Quasar bulb as well and gives a fair idea of what to expect with the gold version in the charity auction (ends in about 17 hours). ebay.com link: itm

Little over an hour left to bid in the charity auction for this gold version ebay.com link: itm . So one last time, good luck to everyone bidding, and thanks in advance to whoever wins for helping me donate to a good cause

Congrats to your winning bid Perhaps you'll add an illuminated pic or two here if you install it (I never did get to see it in action in the game, and I won't be painting another one like it even if someone begs [does look good though and suits the gold topper. etc.]).

Unfortunate eBay still siphons off their 10% fee despite 100% going to charity. They should reduce that to promote charity auctions. I went with eBay so bidders didn't have to trust me to know where the funds were going, but may rethink that for future charity items.

Good luck with your sale. These are a very popular mod, and my Black Friday sale of $10 off brought in a chunk of buyers, so I imagine someone will jump on your far more significant discount soon.

Awesome! Glad we were able to turn it into a win/win and make another Pinsider happy with a great deal on yours

Planning to phase out version 1 of these soon and make them all with the clearer image and mirror. In which case, I'd add white and color options to V2. V1 uses 5mm LEDs, but all color choices for V2 would be upgraded to full-size (#555) pinball bulbs as used on the RGB model.

If you'd like a custom version of the V2 before I change the Pinside store (currently noted as the Die Hard edition), feel free to PM me. Non-RGB colors should be a buck or so cheaper than the RGB verison if I have them on hand (white and yellow were the most popular non-RGB options). Will plan to have some non-RGB V2 images up next week.

While I appreciate the interest, this mod is currently unavailable (was silently discontinued through the shop recently). Sold the last one I had parts on hand for last week.

Should I have a break in other mod production, I may offer to do one final run of these if the demand is there. After two years, sales on these had slowed to about 1 a month, and my 3D printers are generally needed for my backlog of existing orders (added a 4th printer last week).

I can start an interest list and plan to make a new run if I get at least 5 people on board.

Anyone is free to post interest here and I'll note you down (would help others see if we're close). Will be looking to make them as fully loaded models with mirrored, RGB lighted window, and Quasar bulb beneath to light the fence and lower wall when activated (best presentation of this mod IMO). $96 shipped total (slightly cheaper than it was through the shop with all of these options).

No guarantee it will happen, but if there's 5, I'll make a run slightly higher than the list, and that will be the last of these when those run out. In which case, I would need some time to order parts and juggle them amongst existing orders.

Thanks again to all of those that made this mod an early success that still has some light demand over two years later. It's the mod that really got me started onto this path, and had it failed, I likely wouldn't have created what followed.

Noted. Thank you. Though JD is kind with airballs in that area, and the final production version has some chance of the fence surviving one on the off chance such a stray ball occured (main body is plenty strong for an airball). I would throw balls at the fence as I was developing prototypes and went with the first one that survived (had I designed this today, I'm sure I would have made it even stronger the first time around, but there's a lot of these out there between V1 and V2 with no reported damage, so all seems well).

We'll see where we get, but it sounds like 3/5 may be where we're at already.

Just something I need to be able to streamline to make it worthwhile at this point. Gets to be a bit chaotic if I don't discontinue some mods as well, and it seemed to be time.

Looks like the run will be happening.

I'll see where we're at in a couple days and order parts accordingly. I'll print towers and lightboxes as I can while waiting for the shipment to arrive.

Won't be looking to accept any payment until I'm near completion (will PM those on the list at that time), and I'll keep everyone updated here. Will be aiming to ship within 3 weeks if possible.

I've never heard of one causing any issues, but I'd be glad to hear others chime in. With a chunk of these in games over two years, I imagine there's tens of thousands of plays amongst them, which should be a fair test.

International total would be $103 shipped for the fully optioned package I'm offering here (also ~$4 cheaper than it was in the shop [US shipping was $7.99, and international was $14.99, so I'm going with the difference here]).

I appreciate your interest.

No worries. Will be a few weeks out to ship and I can combine everything for you then

While I find the RGB keeps it interesting to see what it will be when it lights (and go through the colors in the mode), I am willing to install a chosen color as long as I know in advance of my order from Comet (I do have various #555 SMDs on hand though, so I may have what you want). White/yellow colors were the most popular when V1 was offered (using the full size bulb on these and better diffusion of V2 will undoubtedly look nicer, though I never ended up testing non-RGB in V2).

Anyone on the list is free to post preference here if not RGB. Trying to keep my PM box cleaner as it's loaded with existing Elvira orders now and getting hard to navigate.

Thank you!

Not a nuisance at all. I'm always interested in seeing what custom requests look like, and lighting is an easy request to accommodate.

V1 had a textured, milky window. V2 is flat and mirrored (mirror appearance disappears when lit [masks the insert image when unlit]). The insert image is also sharper and easier to see in V2 with more even diffusion (stencil painted on V1, printed on V2)
V1 used a cheap 5mm LED for the window light. V2 uses a full size #555 RGB SMD bulb (open to offer a color request here as a #555 SMD).
V2 was when I began offering a Quasar bulb option to light the fence and base of the wall (included in what I'm offering in the final run). This is Comet's brightest non-beam bulb.

V2 Video in post #51 at the top of this page.

Just some enhancements I decided the mod needed once I had more experience and the mod was a year old at the time (also coincided with the special charity auction version for Christmas that was painted with gold and silver to reference Die Hard 3 gold bricks, where Pinballmike217 helped give 100% of his winning bid to the American Cancer Society).

This is the sort of decision I never want customers to have to make (or make early adopters feel they have something lesser), and I've refrained from upgrading any other mods (never will again unless there's an outright problem discovered), but being my first mod intended for sale, it was something that was showing its freshman effort to me and deserved a rework. Harder for me to produce in V2 form, but a fair upgrade IMO.

Glad to see you at least have some humor about the decision

Not a problem at all. Your gesture to help push this last run into fruition is appreciated, and thank you for the positive feedback

Some more details in post #62, but $96 shipped within the US ($103 shipped for International) for the V2 model with Quasar upgrade (little cheaper than it was in the shop).

Will cap off the list tomorrow and make my orders at that time. As noted, I'll make a couple extra over the list, so there will be a slight window for some to get in on top.

As the info is getting a bit buried, existing Elvira orders (amongst others) currently have priority, but I'll hope to be able to satisfy these within 3 weeks of ordering parts (that would be around 2/6 for a shipping estimate). Namely I'll be ordering the printer filament that only got used on this mod, as well as the bulbs and #555 Matrix I don't stock for any other mod.

While I generally have full playfield photos these days, it seems I failed to do so for this early mod (aside from the gold one). Can't find anything much better in my files.

Sold my game or I would have taken new photos for you. Perhaps someone has a pic of theirs from a more player perspective.

Looking to close this list out by tonight. I know some were on the fence...no pun intended (not included in the list yet). Will make my orders accordingly tonight.

Also still time to change your window color preference if not RGB, but I personally thought the RGB added the most intrigue (I may have what you want on hand even if not stated by tonight).

Estimated shipping date is Feb. 6th.

You're on the list . And sounds good. We'll figure it out when I'm closer to shipping these.

Looks like I'll be planning to make 15 of these. Would leave 2 available to those that missed the cut-off.

If this were made for Dirty Harry, 24, etc., then I could see the more realistic window lighting being appealing, but for a game based on comic books, I much prefer seeing a dynamic mod with exciting color shifts, and I believe the bright Quasar underneath helps balance it out (particularly when the mode is active--really helps bring it to life). I also realize this is a subjective topic and my opinion may not work for someone else, so don't change it just on my word
