I think we can all agree that LL does in fact utilize the Quicksilver playfield layout, but surely other people can see that the ebay LL does not look at all like the LL in the Stern flyer as far as playfield and plastics art are concerned. After checking out a couple of really good hi res photos of the ebay pin against the flyer side by side, the ebay LL looks to be nothing more than possibly a really good fake. Yes, clearly I believe that there is a real pin titled Lazer Lord that just sold on ebay for 7400.00, just not "THE" Lazer Lord shown on the Stern flyer. The playfield art is definitely not the same. The playfield art and plastic art on the flyer are totally different than the ebay pin. I have included two links below that show both in very large detail. You can see that the flyer playfield does not have the circular graphic around the scoring inserts, it does not have the "arrow" graphic pointing to center bank of targets (4), nor the "arrow" graphic pointing to the advance multiplier targets (3) on the right side below the spinner.

The flyer also does not show there to be any smoke graphic around the scoring inserts or have the vertical yellow graphic lines going up through pop bumpers and into the rollover lanes. The slingshot plastic graphics are not the same and the left side captive ball plastic does not have the smoke on it like the ebay pin. I gotta believe that someone took some serious time to "create" the ebay LL, and why not though? Supposedly there are no others to compare it to, and at a profit of over 7 grand, why not give it a go?

The backglass however looks to be spot on, outside of the difference in the 6/7 digit displays from the flyer to the ebay pin. Another observation is that the playfield art on the ebay LL appears to duplicate the gameplay rules as Quicksilver, which have been shown previously to be different according to the roms.

Quoted from vid1900:

That is a whole lot of hours to draw up all that art, then get it silkscreened on the backglass, cab, playfield, and get the roms reconfigured to run on a QS.
Even if it "only" took 2 months start to finish, the guy made what, $10 an hour?
If you had those skills and equipment available, why not make a more profitable venture, like rescreening MM playfields @ $1500 each?

OK, point taken. Still though, you skirted around my observation of the differences listed. How would you explain the huge difference in playfield and plastics art from the official LL flyer photo compared to the LL pin sold on ebay?

My apologies. Just in comparing the two, clearly they didn't match. Parts of the flyer playfield certainly looked like Quicksilver, but some didn't, as even at it's largest size, the flyer image is fairly crude. The worn insert area would also explain a lot. I am more than happy to have my post removed if need be as I am new here and certainly don't want to get a bad rep right off the bat by accusing something to be faked that is not. Again, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers here. Looking forward to seeing the pics and hearing the whole story.

Just wondering if anyone had any new info on the restore of Lazer Lord? It's been awhile since the topic was discussed and was wondering if we are ever gonna get the story and pics?

Quoted from girloveswaffles:

When can we see some video of the game in play?

Yeah, is there any chance we could see a snip of it in action? Would love to hear the sounds on it.

Does it sound different than Quicksilver, or is it basically the same pin with different art?
