    I saw this posted on Facebook. The owner posted before and after pics and was proud of the result. I'm hoping he was reading from right to left.

    Quoted from Dee-Bow:

    Did i make tbe wall?! I didnt get no comments on my METpro

    Can I ask a serious question? Why did you feel the need to put a random color underneath every white insert? I see people do that and I just don't understand, like when someone goes and makes each mode insert in STTNG a different random color of the rainbow. Why make the crosses pink for instance? How does that relate to anything in the game or even make sense? I can see if it was a logical match like in Batman Dark Knight when people match the Joker (green), Scarecrow (orange) and Batman (blue) for instance, but I don't understand just doing it for the sake of doing it. White inserts can look really good with LEDs. I'm not trying to be an ass, I just really was curious as to the reasoning why some people do this.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    An abomination kit being sold on eBay. Poor Space Invaders.

    That is straight up awful. I especially love the two different colored eyes. Was it some kind of contest to see how many random colors can be crammed into that pin? And why do the color blind people that do this hate white inserts? Considering Space Invaders was essentially a black and white arcade game...white would fit pretty well here.

    Quoted from jar155:

    I just want someone to tell me how adding a bunch of color to this would make it any better. The game already has plenty of color in its art and inserts. It's well balanced and it looks good as it was originally created.

    Someone did add a bunch of blue LEDs to the white inserts. The rollovers, left ramp inserts and dead end were originally white.

    I will go to bat for the Speaker Light Kits. I like them, but only under certain circumstances. DON'T have it cycle through random colors that don't relate to the game. Pick the color the best matches the game and stick with it. Gold on my LOTR with the rings acrylic looks really nice. Now change that gold to purple...or worse yet a never ending cycle of red, blue and green...it looks stupid. Same thing with my Wrestlemania. I have the WWE acrylic backlit with white to match the logo on the game...looks awesome like it was factory original. Once again, cycle red, blue and green and it looks straight up awful.

    #791 6 years ago

    Examples like this are what I really don't understand. Why just take and change white inserts to colors with no relevance to the game or the mode just to make a game look like a circus? Let's see, put some pink here, purple here, some blue here. I guess it doesn't have bright green GI under the slings so that's something.

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    To me, the Greens, Pinks, and Purples in the inserts are out of place with the color palette used in this game.

    I couldn't agree more.

    Quoted from Taxman:

    I'm not sure if your serious or fishing. Do you know the story of the avatar?

    Either way it's false. Popeye is better than Gilligan's Island and Hurricane for sure. I would rather have a Popeye than other games like Party Zone and T2 as well. Popeye gets a worse rap than it deserves because it's hard, people don't like the weird theme...and many people have never really played one but heard someone say it's bad so it's bad.

    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    well at $156, it's priced about what it needs to be when it looks this shitty.
    oh wait...that just for the LED's? I thought it was for the whole game.

    LOVE the disclaimer in the auction description!

    "Safety Warning: Super Bright Quad 4LED bulbs are exactly that, Super Bright, please do not look directly into the light without eye protection, or under playfield plastics, or behind the backglass. LED does not mean safer for the eyes. It does mean much brighter lights, far less energy consumption and far less heat inside the pinball machines."

    Good thing you never need to look at a playfield when you are playing pinball. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about someone who would do this, I don't know what would.

    They tore this guy a new one in the comments for his LED job and rediculously high asking price on Facebook yesterday. It was hilarious.

    On a positive note, he didn't change all the mode inserts to some random color that has no association to the mode so there's that.

    No, white kits serve no purpose for me... Not that I would buy a kit anyway.
    But yeah I would just, and have, buy 50 packs of white

    ^^^This. I would never buy an LED kit, color or white. From my experience, you end up paying way more for things you don't need by buying a kit.

    Quoted from Colsond3:

    This is what I'm talking about. Purple and blue LEDs heavily criticized here...but then elsewhere....the same poster's games. That TAF and TOM look pretty blue, purple and bright to me. But I like it.
    LOTR has some blue, purple, red,....now I see why some of the advocates haven't been posting pics of their games.

    Not sure what you were going for here, but my game room picture is the bottom one...not the top. I wasn't complimenting the LED choices in the top picture, just his black light carpet selection since I had never seen anyone else with the same carpet as mine. If you find any rainbow puke in the bottom gameroom picture of your post, just let me know...

    Quoted from kevmad:

    Can we extend this thread to insert lighting as well as GI lighting?
    For example, can clear or white inserts remain clear/white? Why do people put in purple/pink LEDs in clear inserts????

    Amen Brother! I don't understand why an insert can't be white with some people. Colored GI is horrible, but putting random colors in clear inserts that have no relation to the insert or mode is a close second for sure in my book. At least when people color puke GI, they are usually "trying" to match up red plastics with red LEDs. Some of the worst offenders in this category are the STTNG mode inserts and the LOTR character inserts. Hey, let's put a green LED under the Battle Simulation mode insert, that looks good and makes sense. Then we can do a pink LED under the Q mode insert...because...pink. The the whole Enterprise can be a Christmas tree of all different random out of place colors. Awesome. A personal pet peeve of mine is when people put colored LEDs or worse yet, color changing LEDs under the diamond inserts in Congo. The diamond inserts are the perfect use for a cool white LED. They look awesome white, but some people have to taste the rainbow with every insert.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    That's a terrible color bomb, especially the blue faces - but the glare is mostly from the camera.

    The zombie cops are awesome. Night of the Color Bombed High Speed. I do have to say I am a little disappointed that the RPM inserts are still white though. Could have easily put some pink or purple LEDs in there to really make it pop.

    Wow. And here I thought you couldn't make a Hardbody look worse than it always does. I wonder if that High Speed is the same one with the zombie cops from before. I don't understand why people think purple LEDs are a good choice for flesh tones.

    That Popeye is such an absolute shame because it is almost as if the game was made for cool white LEDs. I bought a filthy routed one and went through and cleaned it up and it was beautiful with cool white GI. The best part is that it wasn't a kit that cost me $200 plus either. Win/win.

    #2868 5 years ago
    Quoted from FatPanda:

    Colored inserts aren't the worst things in the world.

    They aren't if there is some connection or meaning behind doing it that way. Coloring white inserts to different colors that have no association to the insert is ugly and pointless...like in that Demo Man pic. What association does green or red have with any of those modes? Other big offenders are modes in STTNG, let's make Time Warp mode insert green and Q pink...just because. Or the characters in LOTR. Gimli is blue, Borromir green, Legolas pink. Why? Now when it is used to make a connection like the character inserts in Spiderman (green for goblin, yellow for sandman, etc.) or Dark Knight or the villains in X-Men, it can look great...because it looks like it should have been that way from the start.

    That second picture is just straight up embarrassing. I had no idea what game it was even until I read the title of the image.

    #2877 5 years ago
    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    see this isn't really a big deal. If you want to add some color to normally a boring white insert. it's not a big deal, as long as the insert isn't printed with color. If it's printed with color, then it just looks like mush. But inserts don't illuminate any playing area. So you are not making it impossible to see the ball, nor are you destroying any visual art in the surrounding area. It's one of the few creative lighting things you can get away with and not completely make your game look like complete ass.

    I respectfully disagree. This is a great example of complete ass IMHO. Which would you want? LOTR or random circus sideshow LOTR?

    I think that is what Monster Bash looks like. There is a line of blue GI bulbs between the right outlane and shooter lane. The green is on the creature sign not the GI. And the Mummy area glows amber from the yellow pop caps.
    If it was puked you would not see how colorful the game is. Most MB pukers make a purple/blue blob of the game.

    They blued out the Bride face and inserts and then purped the Bride's instrument as well as the Wolfman's.

    Yeah, that's a head scratcher. Black looks good on a T3, I could see chrome if you really had to change the trim, but blue? Almost like it was taken off another game and just randomly put on that one. That's a perfect example of a mod that someone paid hundreds of dollars to do that would actually de-value the game for me if I was a buyer. Glad I don't have to worry about that, I would touch a $5500 T3 with a 10 foot pole.

    You've posted that before. We get it. I have a stock incandescent loaded Cue Ball Wizard. I have to refrain from posting 500 times when people post the LED kits that color the faces on the backglass. Not every game benefits from LEDs, agreed!

    Twice = 500 times? Did I strike a purple colored nerve? There's a lot of pics of games in this thread that have been posted multiple times, are you rainbow puke thread police now? Take a deep breath and just consider my previous post for all the people who didn't want to go back through 72 prior pages to find my last one.

To make it fair, I guess I could post the other pic that is posted "500 times" in this thread. Note that from the Ebay listing there were 4 of these sold. That's 4 puked CBWs versus your one Popeye machine. LOL.

    Owner considers the LEDs an "upgrade".[quoted image][quoted image]

    As a former Maverick owner, that Mav is hideous. I've become pretty desensitized to a lot of these, but man that is over the top awful. I can't even follow the color logic at all with those choices, especially in the backglass.

    The red cards should have red LEDs under the inserts and black cards should have blue or even the always reliable purple under them. Missed opportunities.

    Yeah, that's the new color changing GI so at least there is an excuse there. Not that I am a fan of that, it looks ok on WOZ and Wonka due to the theme, but neon pink and purple don't do much for a medieval game.

    Here's one with no such excuse, a Rainbow Stones.

    ...[quoted image]

    In this case the LED job matches that backglass and the actual pinball title itself. The topper that you rarely see was the best part of the game. I can say that since I am previous Monte Carlo owner myself.

    [quoted image]

    HA! Where did you get that picture? That's my old Demo Man. I got it from the operator which was Eastside Pinball as you can see on the apron. Even though I had already played Demo Man a million times and was really good at it, I thought it would be fun to have at home. I was wrong. The operator had it all blued out at the time. I sold it pretty quickly after buying it. I know it's been sold at least one additional time since then.

    Quoted from cjchand:

    Was on Facebook, not sure which group. Seems they *did* put white GI in the lower half of the playfield.

    I found it. I know him. That is the second owner after I sold it that is trying to sell it.

    That translite is pretty wicked though!

    I agree and I am not one who likes alternate translights pretty much ever. One thing I am not a fan of though is that black The Shadow font on it, looks out of place. Should have matched the green and white fade colors from the front of the cabinet.

    I guess the thought process (if there was one) was that Playboy girly girls used to wear pink all the time..? On second thought, maybe pink bulbs were on sale..

    I've seen people do that with Playboy before and that was the "reasoning" behind it. Creative use of pink LEDs.

    Quoted from Saltimbanco:

    Hang on, is that 4 different colored legs?? ...so that's what I've been missing on my games!!

    P.s. I tried to find an even BIGGER sarcasm emoji, but couldn't..
    Edited: and someone is asking $15k for that gem??

    I'm so confused. It's like someone took all the random pieces for games they had laying around, put them on the Star Wars comic art edition and said, "That looks awesome!". White trim, blue / red / yellow / God knows what the 4th one is (green?) legs, white wireforms, black wireform, gold coin door, every light up lightsaber they could find at the dollar store, multiple Millenium Falcons, Pro translite and to top it off...the Naboo ship keychain...because hey why not? Nothing else makes sense on this game so why should the keychain? Stern needs to step up and make a limited Star Wars Demented Edition based on this. $$$

    And now I see the ad this is based on for the low, low price of $15,000. I don't know what is more sad, the game itself or the fact that this doesn't appear to be a joke listing...

    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-star-wars-comic-art-premium-5

    EDIT: Oh my God...from the additional pictures in the listing you can see that the 4th leg actually is green. I was just joking when I originally threw that out there above. It's so fitting for this game.

    #6385 2 years ago
    Quoted from TheLaw:

    I think I cracked the code of those are all Boba Fett colors?...

    Maybe, but Boba's green and red are totally different shades than those colors and I don't think he has blue on him anywhere. Plus he says in the for sale listing it has a "Stormtrooper theme". WTF?!?! I need to stop trying to figure this insanity out.
