Quoted from Lermods:

Just installed the cemetery arch from Mezel Mods, looks fantastic, what a great addition to my game!
BTW, I never noticed there was no LED bulb on the left side of the cemetery, yet there are two bulbs on the right side? what's up with that?

... looks like a pair of veiny "fun bags" you installed on top of the left ramp? Nice, but you should save those for Stern's 2018 Motley Crue

Quoted from PoMC:

Yup. No need to take him out. I'm using paint pens, so no worry about making a mess either.

Quoted from BudManPinFan:

For those of you who have played Aerosmith I'm curious as to how you think it compares to Metallica. I haven't had a chance to play one yet but I'm hearing lots of good things about it and some are saying it's better than MET.

I've had my AS Pro for only a few days now, I've had my MET Premium for just over a year. For me, plain & simple, MET is everything & more that a pin can offer. Adrenaline is at it's peak when you have "for whom the bell tolls" CIU mode going. (with of course, kick ass upgrade speakers & sub) Nothing beats it. Period. However, AS is truly becoming just as much fun. The AS Pro is awesome value!

Quoted from chuckcasey:

I finished my custom topper over the weekend.
Custom make Metallica guitar amps and LED lighting. LEDs interact with GI, Sparky flashers, Snake headlight, and extra ball light. Everything is soldered, heat shrunk with quick disconnects.

Quoted from Minneapolispin:

I saw the Guns. The ticket was $34

I agree. I saw GnR in '91 same "Use your Illusion" tour only Skid Row opened. My buddy went to see Guns last summer ... $900. per ticket. Crazy!

Quoted from davids1024:

Does anyone know of a consolidated list or link of Metallica mods?

Congrats, you will not be disappointed!

Here is my original "wish list" of MET mods I've kept close by for the past year. I have a couple yet to check off.

Quoted from bent98:

I purchased a MET premium from Melissa at Cointaker and couldnt be more happier.

I have to agree with you. Melissa at Cointaker, went far above and beyond with my last purchase. Never had such good customer service.

Quoted from GhostThruster:

Everybody here loves Stan Bush right? I replaced some of the music with songs from the soundtrack of Transformers the Movie (1986) using Pinball Browser. The song edits are pretty rough but I just threw this together to see if it was worth pursuing. The sound effects in the game go surprisingly well. Also, camera was poorly focused but wanted to upload this anyway in case people were interested in doing something similar.

Quoted from EEE:

I've already contacted JJ at Gameexchange of CO, and he is taking care of it. Top notch customer service for sure.

When I bought mine NIB it had a slight flaw in the same left foot of Sparky, not even a crack, I sent a photo to Stern, they sent a replacement no questions asked.

Quoted from Sparky:

I went the other way. Sold my LE and got the pro a couple of years ago. I don't miss the LE/prem features in the slightest, and I got an extra $2k out of it.

The Premium is by far the best MET experience. Strip the mods off your Pro & put 'em on your new Premium! Let the party begin.

#11967 6 years ago

I really want to powder coat my MET premium in this 2-tone green, but need these custom laser cut rails to get me excited about the project.
Does anyone know someone locally (North America) who can make these custom rails? Thanks

Anyone on the fence about getting speaker lights for their MET. Doug at Speaker Light Kits is the only way to go! Just absolutely completes the pin.

Quoted from PoMC:

I'm kinda getting bored by Metallica now which is why I have it up for sale. I actually enjoy Mustang more than Metallica and hope to get an Aerosmith Pro if the Metallica sells.

I own both AS Pro & MET Premium. While AS is amazing & a blast to play ... I would absolutely NEVER trade Metallica for Aerosmith. MET (Premium) is just that good.

Quoted from Who-Dey:

Id go Premium if the hammer wasnt part of the package.

... in combination with the shaker motor, the hammar is a showstopper!

#12685 6 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

Thanks for all of the tips I appreciate it. Im really excited big time.

congrats on chosing the prem Who-Dey, you're gonna love your choice. I too play my buddies Pro & it's great, however, when I come home & play my premium ... I feel something is missing in the Pro.

After owning this pin for 2 years now, I finally installed the last couple mods to complete my MET premium.

#13426 5 years ago
Quoted from yzfguy:

Linky no worky

Yep, sorry about that.

For those MET owners who aren't into modding, don't waste your time watching this video. My MET is now complete with every conceivable mod possible.

Quoted from vulture:

SIGHT AND SMELL OF THIS, IT GETS ME GOING!!!
Finally added Met LE to my collection,

I really hope you did not pay for an LE & received a premium. On the bright side, you still have a MET Premium which is f'en amazing!

Is it worth buying PDI glass? Is there a substitute glass that you guys have found works just as good? ( ie. Invisa-glass)
Appreciate the feedback.
