What's everyone's opinion..... mirror blades or graphics.... the graphics side blades I've seen so far aren't really grabbing me..... I'd like to see a cityscape transition to space theme with the characters on it or something like that
Quoted from spidey:Yes, love the tower lock. Yesterday during a multiball I had it holding two balls.
I wish it did that all the time..... how cool would that be
Quoted from MK6PIN:Referencing my post from Friday regarding my "1 # off" issue in my LE. Got an e-mail from Eddie @ Stern repair, referenced part #509-1003-01 (node board), and sending me a reprogrammed one to correct the problem.
NEXT BUSINESS DAY RESPONSE!!!! Man, anybody that rags on Stern has lost their mind.....
This minor ocd thing doesn't affect my ability to play at all, and had a massive great game (around 400 million) tonight...very good for me, not reading any rules yet. It really is a great shooter, and getting more fun by the day......
I emailed them this morning about the power cord mix up, eddie responded with in 2 hrs .... no questions asked, cord is in the mail....
I have no complaints, they've always treated me right
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:She's a throw away character........too soon?
Never mastered the super hero landing

Quoted from AUKraut:Got my AIQ Premium Wednesday afternoon, build date 10/28/2020. Finally got around and setting it up this weekend, including the new side art variation from TiltGraphics without the characters on it. I originally purchased the side art with the characters on it, however upon receipt they just didn't look right, in particular Scarlett Witch. Asked Tiltgraphics if they could make this art without the characters and they said they could, and here is the result. Looks fantastic, blends in with the playfield and plastics art perfectly. Looks even better than the Stern side art IMO.
Only issue my pin has had so far is the return wireform to the right inlane that feeds from the shooter/orbit is bent upward at the bottom, and a slow roller or bounce back will get caught on the ramp. Going to have to uninstall it and bend it straight. Also checked out the subway and mech, and they have changed the subway plastic so that the channel goes all the way to the VUK now, eliminating the hangup point.
Just waiting on the Stark Tower from Mezel and the Thanos from Modalorian. Hope that Mezel will also make a Pym Building for over the VUK area......

I ordered my Tower on 10/31..... asked for 2 day shipping also..... still haven't received. It must be all those Mail-in ballots
Does nobody use prefect play rubbers from pinball life? I've never had any issues with them, do ppl not like the compound or something?
Quoted from Jimmyhonda:My game did not have a rubber on this post. I ended up putting a blue one on. Do other machines come with no rubber on this post?? Thanks everyone.

Omg ..... this again....... it's like the phone call you get from the same number everyday and the exact same time

I feel this is ready to go finally

I do understand that minor tweaks are needed... This is not a minor tweak and if minimizing it makes you feel better then power to you.
Until Sterns comes out and confirms this is the actual design, then I am not adding any plastics to it.
As shown in the pictures: the ramp was obviously designed differently and the production game came out with a shorter wire form...
Stern needs to confirm why.
Stern listening to your demands lol

Quoted from Tsskinne:Nice, let me know how to order.
Just pm me and I'll circle back around when their ready
Quoted from mbrave77:I got mine today but what are the lights for? Does the thing actually light up?
Also this game is getting to me. I suck at this game. I get a decent game maybe 1 out of 10 times. Im having thoughts about making a trade! Of course when things get bad I have a good game and it feels good again....
Your killing me, check your PM. I sent the instructions 2 days ago. Yes it lights 
Alright, getting close. There was an ask for what the CM ramp fix looks like in game. This is still in prototype from and "unpainted" but you can start to see the details. The mod just simply snaps into place and can be removed anytime. I've play tested a few games and the results are crazy. I use to get a ton a rejects off the CM ramp but now it's super smooth. I will continue to play test over the weekend and hope to have a solid color scheme by Monday, with shipping starting next Friday.

There are 3 spots left for the CM mod, the next run of this probably will be in 3 weeks.

Quoted from cooked71:Hey, sent you a pm but haven’t had a reply. Just checking you got it and I’m on the list?
I gotcha ....... 2 spots left
Quoted from PiperPinball:Send me 2 please.

PM me...
It's the only way I can keep track of everyone
***CAPTAIN MARVEL RAMP MOD BUYERS***
first run is shipping tomorrow, there are no instructions inside the package because I wanted to get this into people's hands asap. Instead I will make a YouTube video tomorrow of the the install, I will PM the link to you tomorrow or friday. I figured this will be the easiest and fast way to get them out.
Thanks again
Tom D
Quoted from Jecco74:Does anyone make a replacement mod for the Thanos guantlet?
My kids are more picky about it than I am. I agree with them that is not the greatest.
I might tackle this next, I have a couple ppl that have pros that want to replace the flat plastic
Quoted from Dahawk007:I installed the CM ramp fix today by tdiddy and it was simple process. First game I was 8 for 8 on the Captain Marvel shot. Prior to this fix my machine would have gone 4 or 5 out of 8. Awesome piece
Quoted from Flipstream:I installed the ramp clip tdiddy makes on my machine tonight and played a quick test game. I can definitively say that the clip makes an incredible difference in how the ramp shoots. Very smooth ball travel now with zero rattling or clunked shots back out of the ramp. I highly recommend the clip for any Prem/LE owner frustrated due to CM ramp rejects. It really makes that big of an improvement, to the point the CM ramp shot now seems easier than a post-pass to the right flipper.
Thanks for the love man, I was blown away the first time also. I use to find myself trying to avoid the CM ramp, now I'm going after it for combos
Quoted from Dokkaebi:Just got my premium today. Any adjustments for the black widow ramp airballs that hit the plastic on the entrance?
I'm working on a fix
Quoted from atrainn:I would think a plastic that just comes out further would do it. At least on mine it's hitting the edge of the plastic whenever it gets rejected. If I had a laser cutter I'd give it a shot.
Yeah that's pretty much the idea....I'll dress it up with her emblem or something
Quoted from atrainn:I'm happy to be a test subject if you come up with something

So been watching some of my favorite movie while I'm cranking out all the CM ramp fixes. And have been noticing a common building that shows up in them and I felt ....wouldn't that be cool to integrate along was address some of the black widow ramp issues. This is a very raw prototype and I am still weeks away from releasing, let me know what you guys think
20210310_155209 (resized).jpg20210310_160025 (resized).jpgimages.jpeg-8 (resized).jpgQuoted from Cheeks:This looks cool! Are the building sides going to go down so it looks like it's on the ground versus floating around the ramp entrance? I'd love an effect similar to your Pym building where the balls pass through a "complete" building.
Yeah I extended them down ....also extended the top to get away for that squished look
Quoted from Ryancaseystudio:Will it have the spire on top or does it get cut off at the glass?
Yeah it can't unfortunately because the piece is right up against the backboard. But there wont be a huge gap between it and the top of the cab....i think it's going to be pretty cool when its finished. But I do wish the spire was possible....I can print the spire and it can be the topper lol
Quoted from shaub:I'm trying to decide between a Pro and a Premium, I've watched lots of video of both versions but haven't played a Pro and only 5-10 games on a Premium early on. Maybe actual owners can help sway me one way or the other.
Pro owners: How do you feel about the missing Premium features? The Captain Marvel ramp looks awesome but do you really miss it when playing a Pro? Also, I like the Portal Locks and Gem Quest start at the lifting Disc, are there any downsides to starting Gem Quests at the right ramp?
Premium owners: What are your thoughts on the Premium features? Are you underwhelmed by any of them?
Imo theres no other way to go but the premium....she has so issues..yes but once its dialed in, its amazing
The black widow ramp is prone for rejects off the front of the plastic... but what if there was a fix to cover that front edge and let the ball travel up the ramp with out interference.........man that would be something 
Quoted from tdiddy:The black widow ramp is prone for rejects off the front of the plastic... but what if there was a fix to cover that front edge and let the ball travel up the ramp with out interference.........man that would be something
But there is or will be soon .......... we're still fine tuning the paint scheme but..... BLAMO!!!!

Ha.... not like this bad boy
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-aiq-black-panther-mod
This will be the final installment for AIQ from Diddy Mod's.
The Black panther mountain was my original brainstorm idea that started this modding adventure, and after many self taught lessons in 3d modeling and a few mods in between, I'm finally able to you this.
The model is designed to be tucked into the back right orbit and for ball to pass under it from both shooter lane and right orbit after it passes under the panther legs it will continue into Mount Bashenga. Each model will be hand painted and clear coated with UV protectant clear and will have a purple led strip included. The right side will have a felt protector for anyone that has mirror blades or graphics to protect against any scratches that my happen.
The cost on these is going to be 150.00 plus 15.00 for shipping inside the states, if you are out the state please contact me for a proper quote.
The initial pre order batch will ship this weekend, following up with new orders rolling out the following weekendish.
Ps. This mod will only work for LE / Premium owners
Thanks again

They kinda look the same
Quoted from mbelofsky:Another great mod for AIQ from tdiddy. I just installed the Black Panther mod at the back right of the play field. This goes nicely with the Chrysler building in the back, the Pym lab up front and the left blue guide on the Captain Marvel ramp.
I also showed a photo with my Pinball Universe protectors in place to ensure that the side art is not messed up with the mods or when lifting the play field.

Quoted from arcadem:Today I received and installed the Black Panther mod that is made by "tdiddy". I am hoping that this one will help reduce the number of shooter lane ball launches that end up going astray and landing under the gauntlet; time will tell. Regardless of that, the mod does look great and it was very easy to install. At Tom's suggestion, I had him put the purple led color on it and I think that was the right choice. Once again, I am very pleased with the quality of Tom's mods and his speed of shipping. I am now looking forward to his Mandalorian mods. We are lucky to have so many talented "MOD Artists" in the hobby.[quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks man.....glad you like it. And I always appreciate the feedback.
