Quoted from C_Presley:Just an FYI to all, as long as you have a smartphone you can walk into any bestbuy, Bluetooth to a premium photo printer and print it on photo paper. Did it for Simpson’s and it looks fantastic. No need for lamination.
What size should they be printed?
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:I just ordered 40 Ninja Chrome balls from Ball Baron for my machines. Never used them before, but I've heard good things. Same with the silverjets.
They are good on games that don't have magnets.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:I did read about that, and I'm going to put that to the test. I'll be putting them in a RBION, and a GoTG along with my JP when it arrives. Apparently there is some debate as to which games actually cause the magnetism and how quickly it happens if at all. No better way to find out than throw some balls in there and get flipping I suppose.
It seems pretty random, can happen very quickly or sometimes takes a while. It does say right on the website when you order them though, do not use them in games with magnets.
Quoted from EaglePin:Can someone designate this as a Key Post for easy reference to this information?
Done.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:How is that done?
People that have pinside “editor” can mark key posts.
Quoted from delt31:Couldn't disagree more. Watched the movie recently and it's still amazing. This approach of taking an amazing movie and making your own story out of it is stupid and is just a way for Stern to save money.
Keith designed such an amazing layout it's a shame it's not combined with the assets of a movie classic. The call outs on this game just aren't good neither is the generic art. I actually just bought a DE JP bc that to me is still the true JP pin so if something can be said about this it's that you truly can own both JP pins and not be overboard bc Stern JP is just that in spirit.
That being said I'm still excited to play and own the premium bc Keith did that good of a job and the super light jurrasic park "wrapper" Stern applied is enough for me but to say you're happy it was done this way is absolutely crazy. Maybe you're a distributor too ; ) The shilling game is reaching an all time high recently so wasn't sure!
Btw I really hope this is not a sign of things to come bc combine this with jjp's recent change in strategy of less is more, this just isn't a good pattern for Pinball.
I'm hoping someone will give us a sound mod ala Cleland for example, where it puts the movie callouts into places that make sense. If not I'll have to try and use pinball browser to do it myself I guess haha.
Quoted from delt31:So i was in this camp too - mentioned the same about pinbrowser and I'm sure that will definitely help but there is much more missing then just voice clips. I've played this game a good amount now and just looking up and around the cabinet, you think it's dinosaur planet vs Jurassic Park. The animations are good but looking around the playfield and especially the animations with those weird looking people - it's going to forever be missing those faces you're yearning to see - like in the DE game, that translite is right in your face and brings everything you want. The DMD just amplifies it with great dots of the action (color DMD being a must). Even the crappy art on the PF it still tells you that JP story with all the characters represented.
On a positive note, this JP approach by stern really convinced me to get a DE JP b/c you can truly own both games and play Stern for the shooting aspect knowing you're getting a watered down, barely there JP movie experience so when you're frustrated with that - I jump right to DE JP which is the exact opposite. OK shooter but JP in its FULL glory.
Can't complain about having two JPs but for folks to defend Stern's obvious cash savings and spinning it - just stop.
But after seeing how incredibly successful JJPOTC was on such limited IP, I actually wonder if this isn't going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise in the long run. I am starting to think there is such as thing as "too much IP" integration, and it detracts from the game. In a couple months we may be talking about how the lack of IP is one of this pin's strongest assets, just like it was with JJPOTC.
Quoted from zaphX:Not saying it isn't. Just saying people who are holding off on NIBs maybe don't have to. This one is fine.
The rate of this issue popping up on sterns is lower than JJP for sure. At least stern is willing to give you a free PF (populated too I think) where JJP wants you to buy a PF at $550 plus shipping, and the new PF probably has the same problem.
Quoted from zaphX:Actually Harry said his replacement PF passed the fingernail test, which is promising.
While others have not. It’s a crap shoot just like the original machine. Even so $550 plus shipping for an unpopulated playfield to fix a problem that should be JJPs to fix is not ok. Not to mention how time consuming a full PF swap will be on Wonka or POTC.
Quoted from drfrightner:That sucks man!!! Why isn’t there a massive thread trashing Stern the way they do to JJP? Clearly its not just a JJP issue but maybe an industry wide issue.
I would be pretty pissed that really sucks!!!! Hopefully that gets fixed for you!.
Stern replaces bad playfields for free and the stern problem doesn’t seem to be as widespread.
Quoted from Groo:I'm just wondering what the certainty is that all of those will eventually crack? I didn't see any "pools" on my star posts, but you can see little ripples in around 6 posts on my machine. For the heck of it I looked at Munsters and that had them too. That's sitting at about 500 plays and none seem to be cracking. Close to 100 on my JP right now.
No one can answer for sure. At some point it will happen. Whether it is time or plays we don’t know. And every PF is different. Some have already deteriorated rapidly. Others may take quite a while.
My friend @lawnboy came and set a 1.5 billion score on his first game on my pin the other day. Gonna take us a while to knock that one off the top.
