Much cheaper than the official topper

Sorry one more question. How much is shipping to the UK?

If he doesn't like it, then why do you care?

Wow. How did you hear bout this?

Still no ?

Which is ironic, given the Icarus iconography all over the LE.

sign up as an insider on Stern's website (free) and you get notified.

I'm in that, no notice. Even got my box o stuff few weeks sgo

So there is a top of the charts mini wizard mode to allow you to get up to platinum on all songs and now there is a separate game within the game called top of the charts? Sounds interesting.

You really should post these demos without removing the sound so people can get an idea of what the hologram fans in action sound like. All these hologram fans are mildly to majorly noisy. I'm not sure which one you're using, but posting with the sound also will at least let people interested judge the sound level for themselves.

It’s like the other challenge modes. You can start it from attract mode. Let’s you play the mode without actually getting there the normal way.

They also post about code updates on their Facebook page...

When you say other challenge modes, other machines or on LZ?

Don’t think I have any other machines with challenge modes that start from attract mode that I’m aware of.

JP and escape nublar
GB and are you a god
Stranger things and final showdown
AIQ with battle royale

Good to know. So, how do you access them?

Found it in spam folder

Hold both flippers in during attract mode.

TMNT has multiple challenge modes.

I played the pro this weekend. I didN'T hate it, it was a game that's great for bars, but for me, not HUO. I liked what I thought I saw in the prem/le, most especially with the built in lights. That was freaking dooope. But yeah, it just wasn't the pinball for HUO (huge zepp fan fwiw). I really like how the songs play through, I think that'll play well in bars whenever covid stuff changes. just bobbing my head to black dog was a cool feeling whether I drained or hit a jackpot.

in the end, it just didn't hit my expectations of a zepp pin.

Played my buddies pro. It was good but the 3rd flipper really killed the flow. We both agreed What a huge miss on that not being an inner orbit or a ramp like prem/le. Just too bad because the rest was fun shots.

I am getting an LE hoping I love it. We have to sell something after we play it so I’ll be curious what is put on the chopping block

Ditch Shadow everything else you have looks more entertaining

That's crazy talk. RfM, GotG Pro, and The Beatles are all obviously lesser pins than The Shadow. Easy choices to go. The Shadow is a top 5 of the 13 he has.

Rfm is actually going to a buddy just hasn’t left yet. It’s how I’m getting lz le

Shadow will never leave. Wife’s least favorite is aiq and hot wheels. I’d probably be ok with Beatles going but she kind of still likes it. This is all if LZ sits well with us and we keep it.

Ah, this is how I know we're not dealing with a crazy person here...

Tastelevel confirmed.

I hope Brian Eddy is still at Stern working on a spiritual successor to Shadow. Despite the theme, The Shadow is Eddy’s best game.

sorry if this has been brought up already, does anyone have an update on when the LE's will be delivered?

yes.. I've seen my friends in action. loud fan noise.
but awesome looking images!

Appears the first batch of LE’s are being made.

The extre lights on the side for pros have started shipping!
Should have mine in week.

I'm not a Shadow hater I just got rid on my second.
It's a fun machine but was played only now and then.

Believe me if I had more room and alot more $ I'd never get rid of anything.

Damnit, ya bastards...... Now I want a Shadow back... Thanks a lot.....

Where did you find the kits to order?

That's gonna be awesome. Glad they did that. Hope its game exclusive , and not on next releases

How much are they?

Thought I saw 449

Heh, I have a CPR Gold shadow playfield right here waiting for the right Shadow to come along that I can completely re-do. So yeah, I'm sick, too.

Yikes!

It was more a commentary on the fact that of that other pinsider's 13 pins there were at least 6 or 7 clearly inferior pins to The Shadow that he would/should get rid of first, and the three I called out where no-brainer choices because they were the weakest in his collection.

Could be Canadian

Yes I agree you're correct.

I wasn't sure of retail price but that looks accurate.

Yep that’s right. Glad you can get it for the pro, but at that price, might as well grab a premium.

I can't because I went GNR it's ok the Pro is a blast!

GrossWearyAsiandamselfly-small.gif

Nope. That's USD.

Overpriced (resized).jpeg

I dont think they're stupid. Better than those blinding gnr lights and I think pinstadiums are about the same. Plus they are cut into cab, not in the way. Good add on to the pro!

No!!!

If they were priced along the lines of the uv kit in st, I might have bit on them, but $450 is a bit much. Like chuckwurt said, better to just get the premium. Looks like mirror blades it will be for me.
