One of your very best yet. I think they look AMAZING with a little less going on. This one is PERFECT!

Very cool! Almost makes me want to get a TZ... Almost. Don't get any ideas Dave.

Quoted from beatmaster:since you don't put names of the machine on your topper,
The names are all on the pinball backglass I never understood why they also needed to be right above it on the topper. I kind of like that he doesn't do that myself.

+1, main reason I've never liked/been interested in toppers for my pins, is because as good as they looked they all seemed redundant IMO but these toppers are fantastic really add something "extra" visually, great work.
Well one reason I dont use names is for copyright reasons. You can change art to work but names are names and those are copyrighted. I run a thin line with my designs but they are ALWAYS different than the original art

i do agree myself, i was just wondering.
don't get me wrong what he does is amazing and looking forward for those topper too.
By the way, are these color changing lights, or just different options of colors that you can order?
Quoted from Laseriffic:Everything I do going forward is color changing and I just ordered 200 of the new controllers I have come across. I am doing MB right now and will post it tonight in less than an hour. Attached is the new controllers that will come with every topper.

Nice. What I like about that controller is that it gives you options, so you can set it to one color if you want. I don't know that I'd want a color changer on all of these toppers. For example, I don't think that color changing would look good on Tron.
I would love to see the rest of Rod's head completed Laseriffic.
It looks awkward with the top missing. Do you have a space constraint (height-wise)?
As for the rest of your samples...
Night and day differences compared to the older PL offerings.
I would also love to see a newer TRON with Rinzler, or maybe even the dynamic duo... DAFT PUNK!
Copyrights Nimblepin.. If I put a full version up I could have problems, this is abstract art. Tron will not be redone..Too many sold to redo it. If you would like a different Tron then we could do it under my custom topper service just for you.

Quoted from RobT:When will Terry have these?
Not soon enough my friend not soon enough. I've been chomping at the bit myself. Not sure about this particular topper but he said he will have some new ones available on his site and PBL by the second week of this month.
I think it looks great! I agree with NP that it would be better if the head wasn't cut off, but it's certainly not worth getting sued over.
Here is the scoop.. I am picking up 200 sheets of acrylic today. The Chinese have their holiday starting today and everything is shipping out on the 5th of April.. I should have everything in hand by the 12th of April.. this I was not expecting. I have alot of the toppers made so it just a matter of time and building.. I might be a little longer than expected but I have hired on a guy to help me push this along..I am more frustrated than you guys since the requests are stacking up my email and the custom work has already hit the 50 order + mark. I will do all I can and yes Terry @ PBL will have them as soon as humanly possible. As for the head, it does look good when lit and the jar head cut will not bother you once it's lit on top of the machine.
I will also say Dracula is done and I would show you but then we can't play " Guess the design and win contest"
Joe
Wow already 50 custom orders! I'm glad things appear to be taking off for you. Thanks for all the effort you are putting in to provide the pinball community with awesome topper options! We all know these things don't happen over night we are just excited about the new products you are coming up with.
I appreciate that. I just got a email from China that all goods will Ship out the 9th. I will have these to Terry by the 16th of April sorry for the delay but they will be worth the wait.
Joe
Here's an update.. Acrylic is in, Channels being powder coated, harnesses being made. MM and Spiderman will be at PBL next week but only a few to start. The leds ship out Friday but I have enough to get things started.
I will be discontinuing Transformers and Sporanos. PBL has few left of each and then there will be no more made or redone.
I hope to have everything released at PBL by the 16th of April. Then my site will go up and custom orders will begin. We have done one custom already and the client was very happy maybe he'll chime in.
Joe
Joe,
Thanks for keeping everyone up to date on this entire process. It definitely shows your level of professionalism and customer service. If you have had a custom order for a GNR I would love to see it when it is finished(You have my email). I am waiting patiently for the SM & Simpsons so I can get it ordered and put onto my pins. Any chance of getting my hands on one of the few SM's next week? Haha, or is it only good things come to those who wait.
Thanks for the update!

Clint,
I asked the same question last week (through pm) and Joe made it sound as though we would have to get them through PBL or his website when he finally gets it up and running. I am sure he will clarify though.

Thanks. Guess I'll just have to wait in line with the other hooligans.
Hello Everybody
Loren - If I do a custom GnR for someone that will be a commissioned project and not repeated for anybody else but the person who commissioned it. If you want I can also do one for you.
Gambit1313 - For right now what I will have is going to go through Terry, I have a deal in place with him. I wish I could have enough for him and I but his site is ready and mine is not..yet.
Spfxted- If I told you then how could we play my giveaway.. T2 has not even been addressed yet and SS is being worked on.
tatman9999- Thank you.
TSPP update hint - EXPLOSIONS!
Joe
Gotcha Joe,
The reason I mentioned the GNR was from your post on the Laseriffic Spiderman thread.....
If you want something custom and you don't care if I run more ( if it's marketable ) than I eat the fee.
Not sure if someone payed for a custom GNR and didn't care if others were to have the same type on their game. That is why I mentioned it.
Ok.. Loren it really all depends on what the commission is. If it's something dead on... get it, then I can't market it. If it's safe then I will but that will be up to the client .
Absolutely....I get that. I wouldn't want you or anyone to even come close to getting in trouble. I am just glad that you are able to provide all of us with a great product and a different selection from what has been out there. They look great!
