We got this game a year ago, and we love it!!!!

I decide to upgrade this game with a few new sculpts that I'm working on, and so far, we have five upgrades. one of them changing the whole game look!
I decided to start with the Oracle sculpt, it's adding sooo much to the game, and I love it! The Oracle in these photos is the prototype the final model will be a much better look with a smoother paint finish and the crystal ball will be smoother and 5 times brighter!

The Oracle is made from very flexible casted resin so no need to worry about hitting it with a ball. We are using a special resin to make the led lights to be super bright. must see in person.

This is NOT 3D printed it's all made by hand and it’s a resin cast from a silicone mold

Installs in seconds. Easily removable. Matches the look of the game perfectly!
Fits Pro, Premium, and LE versions of the game.

Matches the look of the game perfectly!
Crystal ball illuminates with colors and interacts with game play!
No more airballs!

Thanks

Its not blocking it at all. We work soooo hard to make it same.

To be honest its fit the pro but little annoying to install

We are happy to get tester for pro if you want.

Me too lol its have soooo much detail and i cant wait to paint it

Send me pm i will be happy to send you one!

ooooops Thank you!!!!!

thank you. we are waiting too....

Yes and i will be happy to get a link to order one too i think it can be super nice with my flame eyes

Sorry. Flame eyes

most of the photos you see are without room lighting check also the video.
you don't need to remove the lads on the game with my backboard and it doesn't effect the lighting of the game. its makes it looks better and brighter. check the video. you also have 3 spot lights on this area

Hello guys. first thank you very much for the support and the comments here and in the social media. thats amazing to see how many people like this creation.
we got so many requests for the pro and we will get a pro game in few days. we will send also one for testing to @anony. for now its fit to the pro and we are fixing some stuff so it will be easy to install like on the premium and LE.

you will get some extra stuff to install that you need to use only for the pro.
the only thing i recommend to get is a led strip above my sculpt for the PRO ONLY! Premium and LE wont need it!
for the PRO ONLY you will need to remove the led bulbs on the backboard

the cost for the pro will be the same.

Thank you guys

Super easy. 10-15 minutes

yes you are right i also cannot edit my thread...
but i dont want to make mess for people with my other iron maiden mods.
i wish i could edit the post and the name of the thread. someone know why its locked?

Thank you

I just did.
Thank you!

For those who wants to add more light to the backbox and makes the light interactive with the game you can order this from comet in any colors you want. ( i recommend warm white) you will need the 50 smd (20 inch)
its super easy to install and its just to replace one of the bulbs of the backboard. for pro owners i super recommend!
we will add a setup of this in our manual of the backboard

Thanks!

Hello guys!

our army of oracle is ready! its looks fantastic! we are now waiting to get the special packing and we will ship it to LSOG. we hope to ship them by the end of the month or middle of November. the packing factory not working on the holiday.

about the backboard. we upgrade it! we made it fit to the pro too. pro owners will get extra pieces. premium and LE owners will get it too but not need to use them. because the amount of orders we decide to upgrade the model and to remove all the screws that was on the back of the part and we are now using magnets for 5 minutes installation! same as we did on our other creations. we also decide to do a screw covers on few parts because we got few request for it.

IMG_0482 (resized).JPGIMG_0486 (resized).JPG

Thank you
We are many people here with many tools. We are also taking some to paint at home when the studio is full or we need more employees.
yes, all made from molds. casted and polished by hand. All are hand painted. No molds or templates for paints.
NOTHING is made by 3d printer or robots!
all is tested and packed by hand too.

that's why each product takes between 4-9 months to finish. we start production before we post it. we care about the quality and we work slowly to give as much attention we can. we are not making only pinball creations in our studio

Correct
If you bought the bundle it will ship together next month

Did you order just the oracle or also the back board? If not please send me pm i will make sure it will be shipped for you

Please send me a message i will take care of it. Lsog was out of the shop for long time because few expos. You can ALWAYS send me message and i will take care of it on the same day!

Correct. We have a one month delay with all of our items (that made after the oracle) because we changed the company for shipping and packing and because of the holidays The back board will ship in few weeks.

We are working now with C.H Robinson its one of the biggest shipping companies in the world and all will be faster and cheaper from now.

Oracle first orders already shipped and lsog shipping new orders right now Depend when did you order. New orders from november till now will ship on january.

Thanks and sorry for the delay
For any customer service please contact me direct i promise to respond asap!

Thank you, guys, for your Awesome support!

Hello Guys. LSOG just start to ship your orders. bundle and backboards!
you will get it soon. manual will be ready this week too.
Do not try to install it without the manual!

Thank you

Thank you For a great video Alex!

Attention!
NOT NEED to bend any metal or any part on the game.
the owner of the game have many mods and made many changes. adjustment can be done if need with the micro switch or screw.

we recommend testing the diverter guard when the playfield is fully on the cabinet.

FEEL FREE
to call me or send me message for more help

we will edit the video later

Thank you

Thank you
When we design it we test it on 2 games. It was fitting perefect. After we shipped we got a message from a custumer and we find out there is 2 versions of this led and one is bigger and dosent fit. The last run that we shipped to LSOG have a bigger hole we fixed it. We have no control on stern products and hardware. We have 1-2 games for testing

The white spacer goes only on the top left side thats all. Dont worry about the right side. All will be flat after all is connected in place

About the adjustment. Not need to bend any metal! If need a adjustment do it only by the microswitch

Video needs to get edit soon.

For more help feel free to contact me directly

Hello guys.
First, for any issue with the installation, the best thing is to contact me directly here or by email [email protected].
We will respond on the same day and super fast. If there is any issue, we will solve it for sure. We have already installed it many times on two games.
If there is any issue with the product, we will offer a full refund or free replacement.

It doesn't matter if the mod cost 1$ or 650$. Everything should be perfect, and this creation is not easy to install with just one screw. It's a giant sculpture with many parts. Also to install the factory one back will take you the same time. There's no need to be any issue with the installations, but we cannot control on stern build quality.

The left side and right side don't need to be lined up. You can also see it in my photos. The front piece hides the connection between the two parts, and you won't notice it.

The scarab assembly and pharaoh targets can be installed at an angle or not in the right position from the factory, which is the main issue.
There is also an option to adjust the guard diverter by the top micro switch. It's a must to test it inside the game with the playfield in.

Each game has a different build date, and many things changed.

About the installation video.
Alex is doing all of our installation videos for us so this is the official video. We are not making another one, but yes, we will edit this one.
Unfortunately, Alex mother passed away 1 day before he finished the video. I'm waiting to Alex to return and have free time to edit and fix some confusing instructions in the video.

For any issues, feel free to contact me. I promise to solve any issue. And if you want to install it with me together in a video chat, you are more than welcome!

we already shipped all pieces to lsog but for the next shipments for now we will do some changes on the spacer / the back so it will be easy to install
about the diverter. ye it can happen just adjust the top back switch of the guard so it will touch it before it should. the ball will still get in there. on my game I bent the micro switch leaf by a little. I'm sending you a pm

I sent you email just now

did you fix it? if not please pm me

Guys im seeing all of your feedback and i know its hard to install this creation but its not something that should happen.
we are taking now the whole batch and fixing the spacers / the backboard to avoid issues with the guard. we will also provide spacers to the guard so it won't need microswitch adjustment. it will take us some time to fix and ship all back. all customers that have those issues can get a new one for free! just contact me, and I will ship it directly asap!!!!

guys if you have any tips or notes please send me in pm and I will make them!

we are asking someone new to make new installation video too

Thank you and sorry for that

Looks like you lost the magnetic part for the anubis guard please pm me i will send you on for free today!

Yes yes I understand that, don't worry and Thank you
my English is not my first language so sometimes its sounds different
We are always learning and improving our quality and the installation. its all because of our great customers and feedback they give. now most products use magnets to hide screws. and we keep thinking on better solutions

Hello guys, as you can see in our social media and pinside, we were barely active and haven’t published many new creations in the last few months. We worked on most new titles and had around 15 products ready to post for Godfather, Godzilla, Bond, Foo Fighters, and Twilight Zone. But we decide to hold them for now.

We got many messages asking if all is ok, and the answer was YES we were still giving support and doing production for our creations.
The reason for that was because of good things.

The first one is we are moving to a new location in a different city that we will do all in one place instead of 3 studios that we had before. We were super busy with the move. It takes work to move all the stuff and machines. And we still haven’t finished the move yet, but we hope to finish it by July.

Another reason, and a great reason, is that we start to work with a pinball company. With who? You will know very soon, but we are now doing the whole production of the sculptures, mods and design for this company. We are also working on official mods and toppers for them and some secret designs! Some of you will get or already got a game with my sculpts inside, and its super exciting news!

We haven’t stopped to make mods. We will still make them after finishing with the move to the new location, and we are also going to do a big project with one of the biggest gaming and arcade companies to make some sculpts and art for their games and also some game room decorations and home decor that we will sculpt and produce with their brands.

We will post some new creations soon after we finish our move. We want to say a BIG thank you for all of your fantastic support over the years! And also for the amazing team at Little Shop Of games for their hard work and all of the support.

Thank you very much, guys.
Lior, The Art Of Pinball

Hey. very sorry for that. yes the guardian is little tricky to install.
we check them all before shipping so there is a minor chance it arrives like that but dont worry, you will get a new one for free
Please send me PM or email and I will send you a replacement for any part you need and also for the paint chip. And I will help you with the guardian issue via video chat or email.

Thanks

My Plesure
Glad all solved!
