Alrighty then, let’s get to it!

Edit: Rumor I am hearing now is that Stern will actually reveal IMDN this Tuesday.

http://thisweekinpinball.com/twip-when-will-we-see-iron-maiden-monster-bash-beatles-license-alice-coopers-nightmare-castle-updates-more/

From TWIP this morning..
“*Ok, these are RUMORS so take them with a grain of salt, but here is what we’re hearing through the grapevine:
The reveal will happen TOMORROW (Tuesday) at around 10:00 AM (not sure which time zone, guessing Central)
The reveal will be coming from Rolling Stone
The goal is for Dead Flip to stream the machine TOMORROW (Tuesday) afternoon, subject to last second licensor approval
If these are true, we could be watching this machine in action, like, tomorrow!! Stay tuned…”

#29 6 years ago

I anxious to see this game, but what I really want to know is who is doing the code for IMDN?

#92 6 years ago
Quoted from thunderking50:

Like i said before Lyman or i am out ! Well at least untill a few years if the code is ever done,finished and awesome

This has been my feeling, but if they unveiled “Titanium Man” with 1.0 code (Keiths code well implemented) I would consider breaking my Lyman rule.

#207 6 years ago

Damn is that Keith kicking ass on BM66 right now

#223 6 years ago

Dude just ask if he had more "Boner"

#227 6 years ago

2 more games and then a "special announcement"

#242 6 years ago
Quoted from chad:

Me too not working
.

I had to reload it 3 times on my iPad until it finally started working.

#278 6 years ago

That’s it??

#291 6 years ago

Sorry for this thread guys.. we just found out what we already knew

#519 6 years ago
Quoted from spinal:

Jack Danger immediately after the video was shown:
"This is freaking amazing!"
Is it just me or does anyone else feel uncomfortable watching a room filled with people feigning excitement over something they all knew a year ago in order to make a stream to viewers who all knew this a year ago?
And all to a video showing the text "Iron Maiden" followed by the text "Stern Pinball"? Have I slipped into some alternate dimension?

It’s not just you! I swear I was waiting for Rod Serling to step out of the shadows...

#541 6 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

Hey buddy leave deadflip alone. Maybe Danger is his middle name

LMAO!

#543 6 years ago

Hmm interesting! This is from another thread on IMDN

Quoted from PinB:

Keith Elwin is the designer & ruleset creator. Implementing his ruleset will be Rick Naegele as lead programmer.
This was all according to Gomez who announced this during his TPF presentation when he showed a pic of the next game’s design team.

#600 6 years ago

Well it sounds like the rumor is for an actual reveal on Tuesday... Stern just says coming soon on Facebook.
Bring on the low res grainy pictures!

#607 6 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

I think TronVE would do very well.

Tron VE with new art, LCD and lighted ramps... We need to will this game into existence!

#612 6 years ago

From TWIP this morning:

“What We’re Hearing about the pinball machine:

that Iron Maiden will be the next title released
that Keith Elwin is the designer
that Zombie Yeti is the artist
that it should ship with v1.0 code (!)
that Lyman Sheets is on code…and that Keith Elwin is on code?
Explanation: we first heard that Lyman was on code, but we also saw this post by Elwin on Tilt Forums which indicates Elwin himself is doing the rules. Perhaps it is something where they’re working together on rules?
that it may have four flippers
that it may be based on the layout from Archer, a home-brew machine designed previously by Keith Elwin

Are all these rumors correct? No, probably not. Hearing now that it may not be Lyman on code at all – that Elwin did the rules and someone else is implementing and programming those rules. We should find out soon. Speaking of that…

**WHEN WILL WE SEE IRON MAIDEN??**

Ok, these are RUMORS so take them with a grain of salt, but here is what we’re hearing through the grapevine:

The reveal will happen TOMORROW (Tuesday) at around 10:00 AM (not sure which time zone, guessing Central)
The reveal will be coming from Rolling Stone
The goal is for Dead Flip to stream the machine TOMORROW (Tuesday) afternoon, subject to last second licensor approval
If these are true, we could be watching this machine in action, like, tomorrow!! Stay tuned…”

#616 6 years ago
Quoted from pin2d:

A little clarification - I posted that snippet a few weeks ago, and we're now hearing that it may not be Lyman on code at all – that Elwin did the rules and someone else is implementing and programming those rules. We'll see soon

I just updated the post, thanks for the morning TWIP update!

#626 6 years ago
Quoted from mnpinball:

Information, game matrix and Pro should be debut tomorrow on Tuesday and Jack Danger at Stern pinball live.
I'm hearing the LE version is going to be the most packed with goodness in quite awhile.

Another rumor I just heard is that a majority of the IMDN LE will be going over sea's.

#632 6 years ago
Quoted from mnpinball:

Imagine if the LE only has the special Riggs art

I might buy 2 LE's

#693 6 years ago

Deposit placed on an IMDN LE and I am as nervous as I have ever been for a game reveal. This game could be incredible, please Stern don’t blow this one!

#713 6 years ago

Somebody get Mr. Danger a throat lozenge.

#718 6 years ago

So it sounds like we will definitely see IMDN pro tomorrow, I am hoping we also get to see pics of the LE along with feature matrix.

#808 6 years ago

I just peed a little.. this game looks awesome!

#819 6 years ago
Quoted from zucot:

Song list
Aces High
2 Minutes to Midnight
The Trooper
Wasted Years
Can I Play With Madness
Number of the Beast
Run to the Hills
Powerslave
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Flight of Icarus
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Fear of the Dark

Ok I just fully pissed my pants! I am 1000% in on this game!.. LE for me (dream theme!)

#824 6 years ago

with 500 LE's and a large portion of them going over sea's I bet the LE's sell out today!.. Cant wait to see the LE Cab art and mirrored backglass!!

oh yea and THANK YOU STERN!

#922 6 years ago
Quoted from InfiniteLives:

Keith said in the podcast with Nate that Gomez wanted him to come out and do GoTG but he coudlnt get there in time so he got Iron Maiden with Zombie Yeti on art.

I thank the pinball gods for that chain of events

#925 6 years ago
Quoted from lodgingdolphin:

Le comes with Eddie shooter knob and shaker!

How do you know? is the feature matrix out? oops damn this thread is moving fast.. never mind just saw matrix above.

#934 6 years ago

Some of the LE features... Battlefield themed hand drawn mirrored backglass, HD brushed foil battlefield cabinet art (I just jizzed myself), shaker, invisa glass, art blades, JBL sound system with EQ, eddie shooter rod... holy shit the LE is loaded!

#955 6 years ago

Matrix says "color accentuating LED's" do we know if the game will have any RGB LED's?

#979 6 years ago
Quoted from fantarama:

you must be rrreally good at seeing dicks in abstracts forms... I can't find it. could you hightlight 'em?

Ok gotta admit that’s funny chit!

#1273 6 years ago

Dang it got tied up and missed the live stream, does anyone have a link to watch it?

#1301 6 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

No archive. I think stern asked him not to archive it.

Oh man please tell me this isn’t so

#1305 6 years ago
Quoted from arcademojo:

Posted on there Facebook page. There will be no other airing of this one. Sounds like they wern't allowed to. Caught about 10 minutes of it and very impressed.

I don’t suppose anyone was able to capture any of the stream, not sure if it’s even possible?

#1353 6 years ago
Quoted from Sparky:

Here is one minute of the stream posted on Instagram by mannys_arcade.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg12rI0nC4p/

Awesome.. Thanks!

#1358 6 years ago

So when Stern says Battlefield mirrored Backglass I’m guessing it will be
The Trooper?

#1502 6 years ago
Quoted from flamehead:

I guess the question I have is for all of the Iron Maiden Naysayers... How fast did the Metallica LE sell out?

Similar amount of time.. most distros were sold out of METLE on day of release. The only distro I saw with IMDN LE had raised the price today to $9299.00 and that did not include shipping.

#1505 6 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

How many maiden LE will be made?

IMDN LE Rumor is:
250 going over seas
200 staying in the US
50 going to the band

#1514 6 years ago

Ok this Iron Maiden craziness on Pinside has officially gone too far!!

#1564 6 years ago
Quoted from BoJo:

$8700-8800 delivered (comes with a tube of K-Y jelly)

Wait!, what? I didn’t get a tube of KY with my LE.. this is bullshit, I calling my distro!

#1570 6 years ago
Quoted from arcademojo:

So you're saying there still is one left!

Yep here you go, make sure to get a shipping quote on the LE before you order

#1590 6 years ago
Quoted from bigd1979:

Matrix says all models have the sane sound upgrades i believe...

From what I have been told the LE only has upgraded JBL speakers and EQ.

#1728 6 years ago
Quoted from JY64:

Distributors have dropped the price of DI $500 that is not a good sign

DILE is $8500 shipped now??

#1748 6 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

I read earlier today it was sold out.

The only Distros I have seen with any LE’s left have jacked the price up by $500+ dollars.

#1754 6 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

Hope all is well concretehardt !!

OT Concretehardt health update: I wont lie the last 24 hours have been rough! I went back to work part time on Monday and yesterday I had a seizure at work, I spent 7 hours in the emergency room last night having brain scans and blood work. The good news is that the area where my brain tumor was removed looks ok (no bleeding) but the DR thinks that the stress of work is causing my brain to fire faster than what I am able to tolerate and when I push too hard I have a seizure. I am back on my anti seizure meds which is a big setback for me as I hate the way I feel when im on those meds!

Now for the good news.. While I was in the hospital last night I took the opportunity to tell my wife that I just sent a deposit on an $8800 pinball machine (IMND LE). It was the perfect time because I had just had a seizure and she was feeling sorry for me. My plan worked! she was totally supportive of my ridiculously expensive game purchase.

I have made a lot of progress in the last few weeks considering that 5 weeks ago I was telling my wife where I wanted my ashes to be spread and 3 weeks ago I could barely talk.
Yesterday was a big setback in my recovery, but I am very happy to be alive and even with everything I have been thru in the last month I feel very lucky!

#1764 6 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

If you're really milking this, disability discount from Stern?

LMAO I wish Stern offered such a thing! By the time I pay the deductibles on my medical insurance I may be needing to sell a game

#1813 6 years ago

My money is on IMDN

#1816 6 years ago
Quoted from MinusWorlds:

As it should be. How you’re feeling okay dude

Yea I’m hanging in there, I go back to see my neurosurgeon next week. I am hoping they back down my anti siezure meds as they make me feel like a zombie. I have a couple mods to install on my BM66 but I just don’t have the energy to do it, maybe tomorrow.

#1823 6 years ago

I was thinking about this poll, I had originally voted for The Trooper, but Killers would of also been amazing.. sounds like we are getting The Trooper?

#1827 6 years ago
Quoted from Chambahz:

No way will Stern use the Pro translite for the LE package.

I agree, I assume the Le will have slightly modified (brushed alum) Trooper cab decals and the mirrored glass will be The Trooper “Battlefield” art. I don’t know of any other Battlefield art for Maiden besides the Trooper (which is extremely bad ass)

#1831 6 years ago
Quoted from bigduke6:

I kind of hoping this isn't the way they go but,

I hope that’s not it.. it’s not technically a “Battlefield” Stern please don’t over think this and don’t even think about giving us a LOTB backglass and cab art package!.. bring on The Trooper LE!

#1833 6 years ago
Quoted from Asael:

I Hope it‘s something like this:

Ok that is very cool! Where did you find that? I have not seen it before.

#1838 6 years ago
Quoted from BoJo:

Regardless no matter what they choose there will be plenty of people complaining cause they don't like it.

Quoted from Azmodeus:

One of my brain surgeries.
Again , reach out anytime, my friend.

Mike I know how that feels
I will shoot you a PM today
Thanks!

#1882 6 years ago
Quoted from pinmister:

I love everything about this game except the music. On a serious note, I am wondering if it would be possible for Stern to secure the Archer license and do a "Archer Pinball" with what was supposed to be Archer from the start. Stern could use same design and layout like they did for Shrek and Family Guy. I would have pulled the trigger on an Archer, but I am on the fence with IMDN. I honestly think I would have to put in some System of Down or something via pinball browser just to tolerate the music.

I guess I feel dumb asking this but who the heck is Archer? Seems like I’m the only one who doesn’t know.. Is Archer a TV show in Europe or something?

#1889 6 years ago

Beautiful playfields!!

#1900 6 years ago
Quoted from Eskaybee:

For those that aren’t fans of the music but want to own or like this pin. Have a listen to Powerslave album from start to finish. Don’t do any of that BS download a couple random songs and listen to 10 second spurts. Maiden was around in the time where albums actually meant something to listen to from start to finish. And If that does nothing for you, then there’s no hope, spend your time and money elsewhere

Agreed, Maiden songs tell a story.

#1921 6 years ago
Quoted from BooDog:

This forum is reminding me of when the WWE Wrestlemania pinball was released. A majority of the thread was about how they hated the license without giving the pinball a chance. Wrestlemania deserved the hatred. Play it before you hate it.

Man I have never felt so lucky to be a Maiden fan! This game looks awesome!! and it’s a band I love to boot

#1931 6 years ago

Ok Stern What else havnt you shown us yet??

#1973 6 years ago

(Box) Up the Irons!

#1999 6 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

Does this qualify as a battlefield ?

Oh Damn that's cool! where did you find that? That would make sense for the LE BG... I really like it!!

#2025 6 years ago
Quoted from rotordave:

I thought about this - I got an idea that would give Stern a pass.
They could say:
“Stern Pinball has partnered with The Pinball Outreach Project in their quest to provide pinball machines to needy children. We will be donating the proceeds of Iron Maiden LE #666 to this worthy cause. As such, we will be increasing the production run to 666 games to make this happen.
Iron Maiden LE #666 will be sold by public tender process, starting 1 May 2018 and ending on 5 May. The highest bidder will own this great piece of Iron Maiden memorabilia and he supporting our favourite charity.
Stern Pinball supports The Pinball Outreach Project and looks forward to partnering again with them in the future”
Wow. That sounds pretty good if I do say so myself.
Accent the positive
Eliminate the negative
Boom - 165 more pins at say 7500 wholesale = $1,235,000 smackers for Gary. Win.
rd

Love the idea of Stern donating a pin to needy children but the rest would just be a cash grab! LE’s are supposed to be limited and 500 barley qualifys.

#2030 6 years ago
Quoted from PW79:

Didn’t they double the Batman LE’s after they sold out?
I know it happened to a game. Not sure which one tho

I think originally there was gunna be 30 SLE BM66 anniversary games
but Stern added 50 anniversary of BM66 - 80 SLE games is still very limited run!

#2038 6 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Leaving $$$ on the table is what makes it "limited" and allows them to sell them for more $$$ and bigger profits in the future. The worst thing they could do is continue to try and squeeze every dime out of every product while destroying the future secondary market in the process.
When you keep raising prices you better do something to make it more desirable.
No they got it right this time.

Exactly!

#2092 6 years ago
Quoted from PW79:

I fired up Iron Maiden on Spotify today in hopes to find a new appreciation for this mullet music
Still sucks (IMO, no offense, Geneva convention, etc)
Those of you claiming to be fans... do you like the actual music or do you just like the "heavy metal" image/stereotype?
I'm likely to buy one if coded well & the Premium is loaded with ill shit + Egypt art, which rumors support.
But dang, are you Maiden fans really fans?

I don't like broccoli, I tried it again last night and its horrible! Question for you guys who claim to like broccoli, are you pretending to like it to make your wife happy by eating what she cooks? or are you just a poser pretending to eat things that are good for you? I guess what I am trying to say is that if I don't like broccoli its bad!... and you shouldn't like it either!

#2146 6 years ago

Looks like more IMDN game play video was just posted..

#2184 6 years ago
Quoted from jkdblaze:

I actually feel kinda bad for you guys who hate Maiden's music. Looking at that playlist of 12 songs that I have loved for so many years, and the thought of playing a pin designed around it is incredible to me. I will probably have tears of joy streaming down my face playing this game!

#2294 6 years ago
Quoted from MikeS:

Get one of the $79 Polk external subs and the sound will be better than the LE.

Not if I have a Polk hooked up to my LE

#2356 6 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

Randy at got pinball has an LE has 1 left.
727-437-7770

Sold! Not to me, I just noticed the add was archived and marked sold.

It'll sell for that. I had someone offer 11k for mine.

Holy smokes! Glad I got my LE locked in early!

Here is the replay on Youtube

Sheesh this game is AMAZEBALLS! And to think this is only the pro!

funny that I cant remember but normally don't the LE's get produced first?

#2826 6 years ago

Ok I just listened to K-Man’s podcast and the rumor from him and a few others on Pinside is that the artwork on the LE is shown on Sterns flyer (bottom Pic) I’m am skeptical as the feature matrix doesn’t say “Battle themed art” It says “Battlefield themed art on Backglass and cab”. I am not sure if the Stern flyer below (bottom pic) qualifies as battlefield themed? The top pic seems more like a battlefield theme to me.

Quoted from pauloz:

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about what artwork is going to be on the LE? Totally don’t give a rats, I just want it in the games room.

I believe the LE will look amazing! Remember the band is keeping 50 LE’s and who knows more about kick ass Maiden art than IMDN. No way they are going to put out a weak art package on the flagship model, especially considering that it had to be approved by the band and they are gunna be sitting on 50 games!

#2889 6 years ago
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Tomorrow marks three weeks since the Pro reveal. Stern seems to like Tuesday for significant developments/announcements for IMDN. Is tomorrow going to be the day? Premium/LE, come on down?

Come on Stern let’s see it!

I learned my lesson on the whole pro prem thing back with metallica. Had a pro played it to death and had a blast. Got a prem and pretty much thought... so what... the pro is just as fun ive wasted my money here.
That said some games do warrant the upgrade. This isnt one of them imo.The subway and sarcofigus toy are going to be super cool but not 2k cool. The pro here will suffice and then some.

Don’t you want to at least see the premium before declaring it officially not worth the extra cash?

#3480 6 years ago

IMDN has some much incredible art to choose from and the band had to approve it, I just can’t imagine it being MEH on the LE.

#3491 6 years ago

I still don’t get it, the cab art is listed as “Battlefield art” but it has an airplane on it? And why would they choose an obscure (to me) album cover like a matter of life and death for their flagship game?

#3622 6 years ago
Quoted from kpg:

That was the lamest shit I have ever seen.
Glad they aren't doing this with the LE, I wouldn't have bought one then.
Has a used BM66 SLE sold here on Pinside yet? I am curious to see just how well that $15K price tag holds up..

Last one I saw sell went for around $16,000

Quoted from jar155:

Here's the front.

Looks fantastic IMHO Backglass and front of cab look awesome, need to see high res pic of the side art!

#4134 5 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

I think the pro translite and cab art are better than the LE... Just my opinion... I totally would get a pro, but it's missing actual game features, which is why I am getting a premium.

Have you seen the Pro Translite in person and the High res pics of the LE Translite? I have seen both and the LE blows the pro out of the water (it’s not close)

#4138 5 years ago

Crazy I have never seen so many haters of a game as I have with IMDN.. see the last rating on this link:
https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/skyemont/ratings
Fun fact he rated nearly every game he owns a perfect 10

How bad would a pinball machine truly have to be to deserve to be rated a freaking 1 on a scale of 1 to 10?

Pinball is supposed to be fun!

#4199 5 years ago
Quoted from Manic:

Much better. It loses the Xmas vibe nicely but man... who knew mixing light green, yellow and orange could make you feel so queasy inside? Maybe that was the intent

I have to say the shade of red they used looks damn cool in the high res pics that I got a glimpse of.

#4213 5 years ago
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

So where are the premium pictures? I think the LE looks ok but not what I was imagining at all.

It seems that the Premium may be taking que’s from the LOTB art so I have a feeling the premium won’t be powerslave themed but instead Legacy of the beast/Kingdom of the sands.

You are not missing anything..

That’s what I thought until I saw the high res pics, you can’t even see that Eddie is flying the plane in the low res also the colors are “over saturated” on the low res pics.. you will see.

Ps. I was asked not to share the high res pics so if you have an LE coming just ask your distro for them.

#4237 5 years ago
Quoted from MikeS:

I wonder if Iron Maiden will be selling their allotment of
close to 50 LEs direct through their website next week? Really why else would they be so close guarded with the LE pics and have the right to show them first unless they were planning on offering them for sale to their fans?

With something like 14 million fans on there site, I would think 50 machines would go pretty quick!

#4263 5 years ago
Quoted from NightMutilator:

People are forgetting that this is not based on the traditional Iron Maiden art/albums otherwise the "legacy of the beast" branding wouldn't have been included. I too wish it was based on the "scarier/darker" art of traditional eddie... but alas it is not. It also explains why the models look the way they do in the animations. I just wish they woulda spent a little more time on the "somewhere in time" sculpt, as it's pretty obvious that wasn't made for this game alone. It looks like an action figure with articulated arms and legs and not a true sculpt like on Walking Dead. I'm already looking for an alternative toy to replace it with, and that's kinda a bummer considering the price of the upgrade to LE to get true sculpts...

The upside is that we got IMDN classic songs and not a bunch of their new stuff which I don’t care for as much. The LE is going to look incredible! That art on the foil decals is gunna look amazing IMhO

#4282 5 years ago

I really like the shade of red they chose for the armor, also the front of Cab and backglass look fantastic as well! ZY if you are reading this beautiful job as usual, we are lucky to have you cranking out kick ass art at Stern!

#4293 5 years ago
Quoted from Blacksun:

I seriously think my 12 year old could have drawn that plane side art. Hopefully the foil will save it but for me personally it is a let down from what could have been.

I seriously think that you are wrong, If there is a 12 year old who is a better artist than ZY I would love to see their work!

I don’t give a rip what you do with YOUR game, if you want to load it up with Zamfir music go ahead (the guy is a legend on the pan flute) just remember your in a thread full of Maiden fans who are trying to Up the Irons and some times we get snarky when people piss in our punch bowl but we are all pinheads here so we have more in common than we have differences.

For me saving $100 is not worth it! Find a good Distro who takes care of you with everything from warranty issues to allocations of hot games and stick with them.

#4604 5 years ago
Quoted from MikeS:

What current Pro model has more? Don't forget that this game has a full size LCD screen. It's similar to Met Pro in features but has 2 extra flippers, 2 spinners, extra jump ramp and triple target, RGB led inserts, better sound quality and light fading due to Spike. Sure Met has a couple of scoops and a bash toy but I think overall Maiden Pro offers more. Both games have metal ramps and a captive ball which is nice. Plus it's got nearly finished code out of the gate which is awesome!
I'm sure the LE/Premium extra features will be cool but I expect that Stern will get far more Pro orders than Premium following the reveal and gameplay.

One other feature that IMDN has that some “loaded” games don’t is that it’s fun as hell to play! More playfield accoutrements doesn’t always equal more fun (see TNA)

#4947 5 years ago
Quoted from NightMutilator:

I totally felt Ghostbusters LE and The Walking Dead LE were amazing and I owned both (still own GBLE). The sculpts in Walking Dead were top notch, and the gameplay features in Ghostbusters were outstanding, along with the art packages. The Walking Dead LE was additionally amazing due to the cabinet art not having a bunch of actors sprawled all over it...

Really I thought the cab art on TWDLE was MEH, the Backglass was cool but having owned the LE I would be completely happy with the Premium on TWD.

So this guy bashes on Stern and IMDN, giving it a 1/10 as a joke, and now gets an NIB for $5k from a nondisclosed source... I think the BS meter just blew up.

Quoted from Skyemont:

First of all it was a joke again. Second I like what I see in IM. I do own a Spiderman Black which last time I checked was a Stern. So calm down.

So you rated IMDN a 1 out of 10 and when called on it you do two things, Immediately claim it was a joke and then switch your rating page to private. The really amazing part of the story is that even though the game is crap (1 out of 10 according to you) and you have relentlessly bashed it and Stern on the JJP threads you now magically have a connection to buy IMDN a 10%+ discount under everyone else
I assume you will make your ratings page public again now that we have all had a belly laugh at the hilarious joke you made rating IMDN a 1, as you have no doubt corrected that now.

People flipping out over the shooter rod - you realize these are made on an assembly line, the video is mid-assembly, and for all we know the last step on the line is swapping it out? They aren't going to list this as a feature on the matrix, show it in promo photos, then not deliver.

Not sure who is “flipping out”? I just asked a question.

#5219 5 years ago

Just seen it come a couple times in the thread, which was surprising. Going to Stern with it seemed a bit much. But whatever, I get the excitement regarding the whole thing.

#5594 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Never in my experience, but at the beginning of my step-by-step leg plate upgrade guide:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/reinforcing-stern-cabinet-legs-step-by-step
I tell people to check the screw against the top edge of the cabinet with the brack stacked, too, so they can see how far into the wood it will go. I've never come out the other side, but I ALWAYS check, just in case.
I think the bigger problem with using 1/2" is there just won't be enough full width screw in the wood to grip well once you factor in the thickness of the thicker leg plate.

I use 5/8 screws as I don’t want to risk putting a small bulge in the outside of the cab if the tip of the screw gets into the last ply of the plywood.

#5596 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

I've never even had so much as a dot of a bulge with the 3/4" wood screws and the thicker B/W leg plates and I'm getting a full 5/8" of grab after the plate width is taken into account instead of 1/2".

Do you pre drill your holes with an undersized bit?

#5644 5 years ago

I am at a loss of words...
I emailed Stern so see what they say.

I wonder if this pet store owner became a Stern distributor... it would explain a lot..

#5727 5 years ago

Pulled this over from one of the other IMDN threads (thanks Taylor), something to think about... will installing the brackets void the warranty? Sounds like Stern would rather just warranty the Cab.

Quoted from TaylorVA:

Spoke with Stern today about getting the brackets made for SWLE to put on my IMDN. They told me to not modify the cabinet, if it cracks that they will replace it.

#5729 5 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

On route, I'd put the brackets in. HUO, not gonna do it on mine for the reason above. They can send me a new cab if needed

I agree Ice, I have the brackets but I don't want to void my warranty, if I have no issues in a year or so once the game is off warranty I will install the brackets just to help me sleep better at night.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Stern quality can be high, no question about that. The issue in my opinion is Stern cannot consistently put out quality products due to poor QC.
Examples. Your game is fine and another has major issues. This guys cabinet is perfect and another is splitting. Another person's cabinet decals are fine and someone else has theirs wrinkling.
A 10 - 15 minute final quality check would prevent these issues. Hell maybe that is occuring but the games are shipped anyway. Who knows. For $6k - $9k there's no fun in fixing quality related issues out of the box.

All games from all manufacturers have issues! When I received my WOZ it was unplayable, I had to work thru multiple issues to get the game working. I will say that the JJP team was awesome to work with and helped me diagnose my problems and quickly sent me parts to fix the game just has Stern has in the past.

Why did you request a new one if it came WITHOUT a hole?

IMDN LE#144 has landed! I am pretty excited that the game is sitting here but honestly I can’t see my self opening it for a while, between my brain surgery at the end of February and the siezure meds I’m on, I am almost embarrassed to say that the only pinball related thing I do these days is read Pinside. I just haven’t had the energy or motivation to play my games lately I know better days will come but it’s gunna be a while.
Anyways kudos to Stern for getting this game built & shipped out so quickly.

Quoted from vid1900:

One of my closest friends had three brain surgeries in the past year (he's here on Pinside), and he's recovering nicely (I think they only took the bad chunks out).
May you heal fast and your sex drive double!
Vid

Wow I can’t even imagine! My craniotomy was a brutal surgery to go thru, the thought of going thru 3 brain surgery’s in a year makes my stomach turn!

I joked with my wife that after they removed the tumor from my brain that maybe I would have a super power like bending spoons with my mind or something, I hadn’t thought about double sex drive but I guess that could be consider a super power.

#5903 5 years ago
Quoted from Jackontherocks:

I would make another 166 and call them super Le since game is a hit as should sell,needs more features or everything that was in the archer game that has been removed, miss the scope instead of Newton ball on left, shot should go through backglass in center, wasted space

Stern knows exactly what they are doing! The LE is supposed to be limited production.

#5954 5 years ago
Quoted from kpg:

If Stern offered me $2K and a free WWE LE, I'd consider storing it in my house somewhere, other than gameroom... Until it sold on the marketplace for $750. I'd assume it would sell that price in around 6 months.. so I'd have some time to give it a shot and see how well it works as a side table on the outside deck.

Don’t pull punches, tell us how you really feel about WWE?

#5983 5 years ago
Quoted from FalconPunch:

Sorry. Didn't mean for it to come across this way. Lots of good info in there if you have or are getting an Iron Maiden pin and want more of the story behind it.
We stayed up till 1am just to interview ZY last night! We have made $0 and 0cents in 10 months. Enjoy.

It was a good interview, thanks for doing it.

#6022 5 years ago
Quoted from Gryszzz:

The more I think about it, maybe not. Have they ever numbered premiums? Don't think they'll release another LE, although I wouldn't care if they did. I just see them releasing premiums, then doing a Luci with it in a year and capitalizing on the success of this machine. Who knows.

Quoted from Kodiakdawg:

Prediction - 2019 - Stern releases Number of the Beast LE (666 editions)

Nope Stern will never do that, No limited premiums or multiple LE’s unless announced at launch IE BIB & LTBR. The LE’s are a cash cow for Stern they don’t want to mess that up.

Quoted from Kodiakdawg:

166 more games sold at $10k = $1.6 million in sales.... The argument that 500 is more exclusive than 666 is pretty weak - why not make 200 or 100 ?
The whole idea of creating 666 games is that it would have tied the entire band image back to the game; (obviously 666 is an important concept with the band since 1982). It would have been an easy win and easy way for Stern to earn even more points with Maiden fans.

I don't think Stern turns away 1.6 million in sales lightly! No idea why they do what they do, I'm just a concrete sales rep and not a pinball marketing expert.

Quoted from dts:

DTS your collection is small but mighty!.. nice line up man!

#6085 5 years ago
Quoted from MikeTangoIndia:

That’s actually supposed to be like that. It’s a flasher only. Jack danger actually mentions it at the very beginning of the LE stream. It sure looks out of place though!

Yep the left pop is a flasher.

#6232 5 years ago
Quoted from lamihh:

The best combination for me personally would be the pro with the LE backglass. Anyone knows if Stern would sell the LE backglass as a „spare part“ so eventually you can use it for your IMDN Pro?

Nope not a chance, I once needed a replacement leg for a Stern LE as it had gotten bent in shipping and I had to prove to stern that I owned the LE and that the leg was actually bent..Stern is extremely tight with LE replacement parts.

#6264 5 years ago
Quoted from adamsebas:

I would rank the models in terms of artwork as follows. Premium then Pro then L.E. They are all pretty nice but I think the Pro and especially the L.E suffer from too much blotchy colour on the cabs. From a distance you can't tell if it's GOTG or BM66 or Maiden. I think the Premium is the most unique and individual package. It would look great with gold hardware!

I like the LE and Pro Cabs best and LE Back Glass hands down, the Premium isn't working as well for me.. its still awesome just my least favorite of the three. I had been thinking if the Premium art package was really good I might sell my LE that I have yet to unbox and buy a premium, but now if I did that I think I would just buy the pro.

#6268 5 years ago
Quoted from trilamb:

LE people don't be jealous of the Premium, just think of the money you're all gonna save on a tree every year at Christmas!

Dont worry about us LE and Pro guys we will be enjoying our IRON MAIDEN Pin this Christmas, I hope like your "IROIDEN" Pin

Quoted from trilamb:

I would love to have the LE but I'd be too worried my kid would bump his head climbing underneath it to grab his presents.

#6424 5 years ago
Quoted from pninja005:

So which is the one to buy? Why should I get prem or LE over pro?

Your buying a toy that costs between $5600 and $9000 logic and common sense went out the window a long time ago! Just buy the one you like most

#6472 5 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

The Premium has the best looking art package by far i think. Its one sexy Beast!

I prefer the Pro over premium buy a long shot.. JMHO

#6473 5 years ago
Quoted from spinal:

We can all nit-pick about small details but overall I think we can all agree this is one of the best "sets" of art packages that Stern has ever released.
Other artists beware! The bar has been raised again by ZY along with our expectations for future art packages. Mediocre art is slowly becoming the new crap and good-enough won't cut it anymore --- ZY has raised our expectations again!
Some applause for what ZY is doing for pinball - thanks

Agreed! we are arguing over 3 kick ass art packages, look at AC/DC.. we dodged a bullet here as we could have 3 versions with old sweaty dudes plastered all over them! Thanks you ZY & Stern for not doing that.

Quoted from Skyemont:

Can't wait to play this tomorrow at Allentown. I can get a NIB delivered for 5k. Is that a good deal?

Quoted from Skyemont:

Very good point. Plus the used pros used will go down in price within 2-3 months.

I thought you had the big time connection to buy an IMDN Pro for $5000? That’s a no brainer IF true

#6612 5 years ago
Quoted from Skyemont:

5300 shipped to me to be exact. He forgot to add shipping. A friend is getting two in. I'm trying to decide if I want to trade my Congo for one. He wants my Congo.

Very good price, it’s a personal preference decision, but I agree that a nice Congo could be difficult to find later. IMHO the fun factor goes to IMDN all day long.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Hey everyone! I’m streaming the LE tomorrow night at 8 pm eastern. If there are any closeups or parts of the game you want shown off, let me know or come by to hangout and let us know in chat. I will have it setup to take breaks and show off different parts of the game if people want.
http://www.twitch.tv/sdtmpinball
Scott from pinstadium has donated a full set to a lucky viewer. If my eyes don’t pop out of my head from the dangerous UV lights (joking it’s only simulated UV) I’ll pick a random viewer to take them home! Don’t forget to watch and chat to have a chance to win!

Is this stream happening tonight?

Quoted from kpg:

Stern just posted pics of Iron Maiden's topper.... really? It's a damn MULLET for $399.99 MSRP? Is this a joke?

#6802 5 years ago
Quoted from trilamb:

There is an extra mode in the PRE/LE that is not in the Pro. Keith announced it on a podcast this week. It's based around Can I Play with Madness and has the ramp going up and down and you have to time your shot to get it under the ramp.

Hmm I had toyed with the idea of downgrading from my LE to a pro as I have yet to unbox my LE, but hearing this makes me think I should stick with the LE.

#6804 5 years ago
Quoted from brett:

Sean, you won’t regret keeping it. It’s a great pin!
The LE demand will always be there, since there’s so few shipped in the US.

Yea I think you are right, I know I will love it. I keep looking at the box thinking one of these days im gunna wake up and feel like shredding it open, I cant wait for that day to come.

#6826 5 years ago

Trying to get pumped up about opening my IMDN LE so today I printed myself some custom cards

#6881 5 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

I got my prem yesterday. I decided to have a shaker installed in it... That turned out to be a little bit of a mistake. As first my floor in the room it went into is all kinds of unbalanced and jacked up. I'll need to fix it before I put any more in... Second, it vibrates too and shakes it a lot... I am afraid it might damage some of my pipes in my basement. My house is a 100 year old house and has some issues. So I might disconnect the shaker. I really like it. But, just not the best house to have one in. But, I will be getting a few pipes fixed and I'll be fixing the floor...So, maybe once I do that I can turn it back on.
Besides all of that. Its a really really good game. The ramps are hard to hit, but not impossible, plays really fast. My only beef is I can't really ever look up to check out the animations. I miss over half of them. And during multiballs... Really its so crazy I just look at the two main flippers and hope for the best... Which so far my best game has been over 200 million... Not too bad... I want to get to 300 million... But, only had it for one day... Its a smooth playing game. Don't know if its the best game ever like how its rated. I only played a handful of real pinball machines. But, its a really, really, really good one.

Did you try turning the shaker to the mild setting in the game menu?

#6923 5 years ago

New 1.0 code is up!

#6925 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Let's hope they finally fixed the lockups...

Can you elaborate on the lockup issue? I hadn’t heard about it.

#6940 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

It's been a problem since release - all released versions so far. If you leave the machine on 24/7 after 2-3 days it will lock up. Similar behavior to the WoZ lockups on original run machines that took years for JJP to fix. Hopefully Stern gets the solution quickly.

Please let us know if this new code update resolved the issue.

#6956 5 years ago

Hat tip to Stern and team for getting this game to 1.0 (good) code so soon after it’s release. I am hoping to set my LE up in the next week or so.

So who is close to Eugene and can help with a set up??? Op don't be mad at me bub...
C'mon, let's get this fixed Pinside.

Your awesome Grysz! There are not many pinsiders in the Eugene area but I was able to round up some help next weekend, so it sounds like I will have IMND set up soon. In other good news my Dr just took me off of my siezure medication and I am already feeling a lot better!

Quoted from Buckman:

If things change and you end up needing some assistance I could give you a hand this Saturday afternoon. My daughter and I are heading out on a road trip this Saturday to California and we're leaving Vancouver around 5am. We'll be driving down the I5 and I would think we'll be driving through the Eugene area around 3 or 4pm in the afternoon.

Very cool thank you! Hopefully I wont need to take you up on that offer, I just confirmed with my buddy who is going to help me and we are a go for Saturday

#7000 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

So 1.00 might be worse than the prior versions with the 24/7 lockup bug. We had the Pro 1.00 lockup after less than 2 days today. That's the first lockup in under 2 days since the very beginning. Only thing that's changed is the software version to 1.00 - all the lockups before were 2-3 days. Reported to Stern. Hopefully they get this fixed. It's gone on since the beginning. Feels like a memory leak to me, which should be solvable with some nice debug monitors.

(Not sure why but I cant quote multiple posts at one time)
Vireland have you contacted Stern about this, if so what are they telling you?

Sean you doing ok man?

Hey Jason,
I’ve had a few setbacks since going back to work 3 days a week, I am finding out that the brain injury that the tumor left me with is causing me some problems. I am doing the best I can but if I push myself too hard my brain literally shuts down, it’s very frustrating but I am alive so I can’t complain. I have had to sell off a couple games to raise some cash as I have missed much work and have bills to pay, but I will be back on my feet soon and rebuy my games.
Thanks for checking on me

Sean

#7136 5 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

Hope all is well.. I don’t know you but think of you often. Sending my best to you!

Thank you Frank! So many good people here that have given me encouragement over the last few months, every time I get to feeling down you guys are here to pick me up.
I hope everyone is enjoying their IMDN! I have been getting out to my local arcade a bit more and playing the pro they have there.

Now that I am back on my feet and carefully planning the rebuild of my pinball collection, I was looking for opinions on IMDN Pro vs Premium? I had to sell my LE (never opened the box) so I have never seen or played an LE/Premium, is the Prem worth the extra money on this title? I actually think I like the Pro artwork best, I’m just not sure if the game play difference makes the upgrade to Prem worthwhile or if the pro is pretty close to the full experience?

#7145 5 years ago
Quoted from SunKing:

I think it depends on how much you value approx. $2,000. For some, 2k is just a drop in the bucket - if you're going to spend 6k on a machine why not drop an extra 2k to get the 'full feature' version? On the other hand, I had a hard time justifying spending 2k for the additional features. I played both, and while I think the lifting ramp is cool, the lock feature didn't 'wow' me and only seemed to slow down the game. In the end, I opted to get a pro. Now that I've had time to go back and read all the owners/issue threads - it seems most of the issues people are experiencing (other than launch alignment) are all with the premium mechs. My pro has been running rock solid without any adjustments right outa the box.
That said, if I won the lottery and had buckets of cash laying around, I'd splurge for the LE.

The pro is probably the smart way to go, I am a maiden fan and I love the trooper art so I am leaning in that direction.

I’m still thinking about this game, my sensible side says I should just buy an IMDN pro, but the unreasonable side of me wants an LE or at least a Premium.

Well since I started this thread I will make one last post here. After selling my IMDN LE before I even unboxed it to get caught up on bills after missing a bunch of work I was finally able to get an LE back from a buddy on a trade deal. The game is beautiful, fun as hell and I am very happy to have it back, as a big Maiden fan the game is a home run for me!

LE # 376 in the house

Quoted from rai:

Just saw this tread pop up again. Curious if the pro is ‘close enough’ to the premium if I just wanted the pin and to save money. Or is the premium worth the extra money? I’ve not played the premium more than a couple times so I can’t remember how much the rising ramp or ball lock add.
Does the premium have more color change inserts than the pro?

If your a Maiden fan I would spring for the Premium. I had an LE and loved the game!
