Is Blackout coming anytime soon?

#1356 4 years ago

I suddenly find all this time on my hands, I wish the Grand Lizard Hardtop was out. Are you guys in production these days or has the shop closed down? Thinking I might start sourcing parts for the project.

#1357 4 years ago

You guys rock!what a great product. My space shuttle has needed a facelift for 25 years and this was just what the doctor ordered. Can't wait to finish the reassembly and try out this new surface.

These look amazing. if you decided to do any DE pins I know there are several TMNT pins that the paint has lifted like mine, just not sure if its a popular enough pin. Figured I would just throw it out there since I would buy one.

Beautiful game but nothing to do and omg those call outs.

If they did Blackout they can do Warlock too. Same exact playfield just different art.

Layout is simalar but different banks (or missing banks), extra orbit instead of scoop and even the type of lane rails would all have to be changed according. Plus all inserts

#1365 4 years ago

And Blackout is common. I've never even seen a Warlock in the wild.

Edit: also Blackout is awesome so Warlock can eat it lol (jk, Blackout was my first pin and I've been looking to replace her)

I would. I think that's in worse shape than my Comet was.

I bought only because I wanted to put in a hardtop.... Was just asking for an update on when its coming out! Hopefully soon!

Ahhhh, that makes sense. I thought it was a no brainer. Some people love to paint though.

Imagine if you will, you've been married to the same machine for 25 years. You know every curve, every flaw, every imperfection but that's what makes her special, you still love her, just maybe aren't as attracted to her as you used to be. Then one day you find out about a product that for a couple hundred bucks and a little bit of time ,you could dial back the clock and she would look like she did the day you met her, better then the day you met her.Thank you Outside Edge, our relationship has never been better.

Still looking for a hard top solution for the small upper and lower Playfields on Elektra. As soon as those are available I’m putting all my other projects on hold to refresh my game. Could actually use a couple of the small lower playfields.

#1377 4 years ago

Paragon please

#1378 4 years ago
Quoted from wayinla:

Paragon please

I’ll second that vote. Paragon please

#1379 4 years ago

CPR just finished Paragon playfields! Mine arrives tomorrow!

Just got my tracking info on my SoF Hardtops. They must be ready, guys!

Me too!! Looking forward to it! Well, other than the tear down and rebuild of the top of the playfield. HAHA

Make sure your pop bumper is set as sensitive as it can be without false triggering. This is crucial for upper playfield action and improves game play big time!
But yes! F-14 needs a HardTop! Popular game and ton's of them out there with roached playfields!

#1383 4 years ago

Any word if flash Gordon is on the list?

+1 for pop action. Especially with just one pop that isn't even able to be hit on 1/3 of it. It's very important to get as much as you can out if it!

#1385 4 years ago
Quoted from Crans:

Flash Gordon would be my number one request! I guess they made a hardtop in the past and sold out?

I would also love to see a hardtop for Nine Ball!

Evel Knievel hardtop installed, mostly done. Still need to clean a bunch of lamp sockets and tweak switches, but it's turned out great. Thanks for making it!

I would like to see a hard top for Bobby Orr Power Play.

#1388 4 years ago

If you guys wanted to see SoF Hardtop...

#1389 4 years ago

Time Warp and Meteor Hardtops please.

#1390 4 years ago
Quoted from NinJaBooT:

Time Warp and Meteor Hardtops please.

A million times Time Warp. And a translite too. These games are always beat to f.

#1391 4 years ago

I'm still hoping for Solar Fire !

#1392 4 years ago

Many Elektra games have an upper and lower Playfield touch ups that look like these pictures. Definitely need a hard top solution for these small upper playfields and the small lower one. Hope this gets on the list.

You will love it! have fun!

#1399 4 years ago

Any chance of an updated poll,, just as a way to gauge interest in upcoming titles that may be in the works. Sure would help to know which project pins to keep an eye out for just knowing that a hardtop could be an option one day.
