Best looking Stern game ever. Hopefully the gameplay matches the looks. Premium FTW.

I have to assume someone is already working on a proton pack mod with EL wire for each side that conveniently fits on those outlane posts Stern has for, well, this mod.

After playing GB with headphones, I'll say that the audio improvement in Spike is more important than a color lcd. Not saying we shouldn't have both, but the audio was a real treat.

Maybe that's the case. Instead of going up, it rotates over to the pops. Still, it opens the possibility of having multiple locations so it's more like the crane on BDK.

This is a good point. Sometimes kicker slings can play "keep away" for a while (I'm looking at you IJ), so perhaps you'll get the ball back sooner to speed up overall gameplay. What they won't do is send the ball into targets in the lower half, but this pf doesn't doesn't really have targets down there.

My biggest concern is if these tend to drop the ball STDM, especially given the wider flipper gap. Won't be installing the tilt bob I guess, or maybe just the metal bar without the actual bob.

Read his post again until you get the joke.

But if you compare ST premium to LE vs GB premium to LE, then ST LE gives you a *lot* more upgrades, by far the most of any LE, with BiB a second place. It will forever be the champion of LE upgrades.

Tron LE not included because I'm just comparing Premium to LE differences.

It does seem like the list of LE upgrades is pretty minimal nowadays, and now that they are selling mods, the days of a STLE style upgrade have gone the way of the dodo.

I played one a bunch today. Flipper gap is challenging but just keep the tilt loose. The outlanes suck, literally. As someone else suggested, maybe a mini post rubber could be fitted on the end where a post would normally be. A ball can careen off Slimer, hit the metal rail and just slip into the the outlane. I love the rest of the game but I'll be doing something there. I didn't have problems hitting the right ramp, but I have Avengers...

I had an air ball get trapped on that left post. Game leaned left a bit so maybe that was it, but lowering the post might prevent it.

It's HD on twitch TV.

The slings just need to fine tuned at home. Adjust the leaf switch gap, and either pull the rubber tight around the one edge, or use one size smaller. May never be as responsive as 2 switches but you can definitely tune it better than stock. Just have to find the balance between getting it to activate more often, but not so tight it comes on during game shakes.

Tell 'em 10.5, they have to pay to play.

Should've been "Addition"

No, it's to avoid idiot confusion.

Based on the Dead Flip LE stream, it takes a fairly long game before you unlock the magic of the Magna Slings. So most people are going to see them as similar but less active version of regular slings until they get to the point where those sling inserts are lit solid. Then it does all kinds of crazy stuff. Not even if sure if that video showed all the tricks.

Like Ghostbusters II

Weird, 'cause it's not yet mid June and we've already seen tons of them in assembly.

Where'd you get it? I thought they didn't ship to the US.

Nice to see you can backhand the left ramp. Wasn't sure this would be possible on the Pre/LE. Maybe they already showed that in the Dead Flip live stream but I don't remember.

Funny they use the LE apron stickers on the Premium. Wonder if it reads differently or it's just the added border slime.

I'm used to mode completion on ST but it only takes one (somewhat difficult) shot to start the mode again. I would think on the Premium you could hit Slimer when he's on the side to reduce drain risk. Seems like if you fix the cheap drains and scoleri targets it would play a lot better and then mode completion wouldn't seem so bad. I've not played the Premium yet just comparing to ST.

I like the Ecto Goggles but only 3 ghosts? Maybe more in a future update. Not exactly giving Pin2K a run for its money.

Disable extra balls and open the outlanes, right?

Actually that's one of the easiest to complete once you learn how to do it. The challenge for me is to hit the shot with it lit from both flippers for twice the goodness. With the ball trapped on the left flipper, highlight the left ramp with the right flipper. Now quickly toggle the left flipper (without actually flipping) until the Warp ramp is lit. Now when you backhand the left ramp you'll get credit for a double. Then quickly press the left button I think 6 times to setup for the next shot. It's hard to get all doubles but overall easy to complete.

Now back to GB...

Marco has them. Bally ridged flipper bats.

I've got the longer Bally flippers and they're great. The gap now seems the same as other games. My STTNG and IJ gaps seem larger than the standard Stern gap, and this is probably comparable to those games now. Next I'm going to try the ModFather lane protectors to stop the airballs over the lane guides. The Pinball Universe kit isn't stopping them.

It's not software, you have a hardware problem. Check the EOS switch first, and if that's okay, check the coil stop and for a loose rivet, and that all the hardware is secure and not wobbly.
