Quoted from Baggerman:

i added a small led strip to backboard of playfield.. actually over that area. set it to deep blue color and dimmed it down.. Knowing what i do now about them, you shoudl get some diffuser channel to deaden the glare of individual leds on playfield. May work better.. that is next on my list.
see post 5261 for the images.

Awesome, once your done if you can share the P/Ns I would appreciate it! that area is dark

Quoted from chubtoad13:

Has anyone added a light strip to the back box? I would like to add some more lighting there. If someone already has with good results, I’d love to see what you did.

Have a $150,000 truck sitting like a big paperweight because of a $300.00 computer board they make in China !
estimated time for the board 7-8 months !

none of it is supposed to improve any time soon. There are predictions this is just how it is going to be for the forseeable future due to multiple reasons.

It's my understanding from what she told me that the games are sitting in the port but she's at the mercy of the trucking company that brings it to their warehouse. I think the games are built they just need moved from the port that's backed up.

Covid shutdowns at Port Elizabeth are real....Covid infections in NY/NJ area were at the peak a week or so ago so perhaps shortage of labor?

Are you talking about your product or the Alien pins? If it’s the pins, what’s your source?

Same with trying to get restock of Yoppsicles. Takes longer and shipping has gone up. I'm only a couple orders away from being completely out of stock and I won't be seeing any fresh stock until February. I read an article (while we were in the middle of the pandemic) that when it came time to "restart" the world economy it won't be as easy as flipping a switch, especially when different countries are impacted at different times and to different degrees. They were right on the money with that assessment. It's gonna be a while before we climb all the way out of all this mess.

When I spoke with Melissa yesterday I told her I'm here in NY let me go pick it up myself. She told me no the games were now in Jersey and I couldn't go pick it up there either. Now hoping they get them in at cointaker Feb 5th.

These aren't the LVs right? (Those don't ship until EOM from what I understand) - anyone have a rough ETA for shipping time for those?

Nope, just end of January but I need my LV soon...the mods are stacking up...first time I have ever had mods before actually having the machine to install them on.

#5318 2 years ago

Wow. So watching season six of the expanse and the assault force has Hudson, Hicks and Vasquez! Nice little Easter Egg shout out!

Heare you go, but every single name on the screen in this shot is releated to a sci fi series.. check it out, much deeper then just alien. A true easter egg for all sci fi.

Ah, yeah I see that now… didn’t even catch Flynn there! Hudson and hicks popped out at me as they’re in focus for about half a second right next to each other. Sorry the screenshot sucks.

LV-426 was being auctioned off by Pinball Brothers. Specifically just the machine number and associated LV plate, you still had to buy the machine through one of their resellers. Auction ended on 1/22 though and seems like it sold for 10k which is just ridiculous.

Thanks and I was aware of this, but I was talking about the show "The Expanse" mentioning LV246 in the last episode.

Coyohtay Holy cow! Thats a ridiculous amount of points! Amazing!
In other news: I picked up my SV from RS Pinball and wow, the whole theme integration and ambience is just awesome. I can only imagine how great the apron and beacons will be

Congratulations, you played that multiball to perfection. Let's break down that 280M super jackpot:

- 2X multiball scoring was active because you had Hypersleep/Sentry Guns stacked
- "Normal" 2X playfield was running
- I counted 4 completions of the APC targets during Hypersleep: at +0.5X for each, that's another 2X.

So you basically had 8X Hypersleep scoring going when you hit the super. If you had hit the difficult side ramp shot, it would have scored a Double Super Jackpot and been twice as big

Well done!

Ok. so stacked multiballs score 2x or just hyper and sentry?
APC targets provided .5x score multiplier for each set of 3 completion? is that only during 2x or during the combo of Hypersleep and Sentry with 2xplayfield?

I guess i need to really read the ruleset around hypersleep and exploit the hell out of this to see big scores.

Sentry Guns is the only multiball that can be stacked with any of the other three. Anytime two multiballs are running, all multiball points are doubled. Sentry Guns must be started last.

Completing APC during Hypersleep increases the jackpot value for the rest of the multiball; the first completion makes jackpots 1.5X the base value, then 2X, and so on up to a maximum of 3X. So I was wrong earlier, for this multiball his jackpots were 3X base value. This is just for Hypersleep jackpots/super jackpots, regardless of any stacking.

The regular 2X playfield from completing 8 ramp shots can be added on top of all this, but it's timed for 20 seconds.

Getting all of these to align together is a feat.

duuuuude..madness. Getting hypersleep multi by itself is a challenge with that wicked shot... I tried for like an hour and half. What i did notice is the flippers starting to fade out on me from heat? I am going to install flipper fans and see if the flippers stay nice and crisp.. LOL.

Have you raised the flipper fade with Cato, as I'm interested to know what PB are doing to address this or even if they acknowledge this as an issue?

Do you have your flipper power turned up? I haven't noticed any fade on mine at the factory settings

Everything was just working for me that game. If Ed hadn't had to make a rush restroom trip and I jumped back in to keep up the entertainment, we would have stopped streaming before that game. I was satisfied by an earlier 365mil game where I was close to completing all the modes and multiballs. Alien gods were smiling on me yesterday.

Both games are hightlighted on twitch if you go to the wilddogarcade twitch page

So last we heard, LVs should be on boat today - should one figure about 45 days out until we get them at home/on location?

Indeed. Now I know how the Elvira premium order people feel with the 40th editions rolling out before them.

#5344 2 years ago

Ok, so the SV folks are about 60 days out - but the units are state side no? That's at least coming close to delivery. I'm sure the wait will be worth it all. Hang in there.

That's the last we heard but we've been hearing that since November so take it for what it's worth.

Did you mean, Mayan calendar time or Pinball calendar time?

We're 102 days out from paid in full, for what it's worth. Hanging in there...

#5348 2 years ago

Knowing they are supposedly in the states but stuck makes it worse. Can’t understand why they haven’t moved in 2 months. Almost getting to the point that I don’t want to unbox when it does eventually arrive. Just sell it and move on.

#5349 2 years ago

how much time needs to elapse before our deliveries are considered NOS?

#5350 2 years ago

I know I'm about there too. I've been waiting on this and another pin and watching videos and other people playing it I've almost lost interest and believe me I had a ton.
I ordered back in mid Feb. 2021.
It just seems like we are now buying a new car that is 3 years old....like buying a 2019 car off the lot they are calling new. Luster isn't as great as it could have been. Oh well.
