I played a couple of games today too and generally agree with this. It's a hard environment to judge a game. The shots did feel good, it's wide open, but some shots are really fast returning to the flippers. Not knowing how to play the game or hear it makes it pretty tough to understand anything but shoot the flashing lights. Same goes for most games there. I thought it was fun overall.

Got my pro today., It's next to tspp. Sw looks like "the pin" compared to tspp. Smaller, shorter, narrower, etc. Incredible how much has been cut from these games. I like the game and how it plays, but man, they have been cutting too much imo.

You might be right, I'll take another look (and measurements), it just stood out after I had set it up, maybe just my tired eyes.

My first spike game, no fuses I see. What happens when/if a short occurs? Node board blows?

I generally agree it would be taken care of quickly, but not as fast as replacing a $0.50 fuse. Once out of warranty, how much are node boards?

We've done some lighting enhancements for the trough and backboard. Before and after. Soon to be available on our website and pinside shop. Still pretty dark midfield, but we are working on it.

The camera always exaggerates led effects and tends to make them look washed out. It's not the case in person. The light brings out the detail of the pf much better and it's not in any way overwhelming. In the end it's personal taste. Some like it, some dont. White could be a great choice too, I got the game last night and haven't done all the colors...the feedback is very helpful, good or bad.. We can do red, green, blue, purple and white.

These are the first of our mods that are now up on our website's star wars page.

Here's a couple of close up pics...

I installed cointaker in mine, no issues.

Anyone make any custom cards for the game yet? If not, I'll make some and share them.

I'll try to get around to doing it, time is limited, set your expectations low.

Same experience here, no tweaks at all, perfect out of the box. Came with 0.82, updated to 0.84 earlier today and now I just updated to 0.85. Very good work overall by Stern.

Apron cards are available here:

Stay away from Ironman, you won't like it either. You would like the hobbit, LOTR and tspp.

Millennium Falcon added...tied into ramp flasher circuit.

star-wars-pinball-illiminated-millennium-falcon-mod-1 (resized).JPG

I think it does. We will have them for sale in limited quantities for the pro.

Here is a slight modiication so that you don't see the LEDs and it's more of a glow. They will be available late next week. It's a great addition to the game, should have come like this.

The camera exaggerates the LEDs, it's not glaring as it is in the pic. It can be tied to any GI or flasher in the game so you can have it lit all the time or only in certain modes when the flasher is active, same connection. It's the perfect size for the game, multiple mounting options if you want to put it somewhere else, but I think it looks best off the left ramp. Definitely helps reduce the barren look of the pf.

Backbox mod...this one was a lot of work, a lot of detail to be brought out.

Before:

20170728_171610 (resized).jpg

After:

20170728_172737 (resized).jpg

Lower left area and the saber fight in the middle are color changing, it just happened to be on blue when I took the pic. LEDs are exaggerated in pics. It's much better in person, at least I think so.

20170728_172739 (resized).jpg

20170728_194109 (resized).jpg

Not necessarily, it's controllable, so if that last pic is what you like, color changing can be turned off and it can be set to an individual color. Colored LEDs, particularly blue and purple, often look oversaturated in photos, at least coming from my S6, but in person it's more vivid and the composition of the translight tends to be better.

Anyway, I posted it to get feedback, good or bad, and to offer options for those that may want them.

No flashers on this one, but it can easily be done if someone wanted it.

Uh, I can assure you my backbox mods are not dragged from game to game. Each game has a custom pattern to bring out the details of the translight better. Takes me several hours to make one, stars wars was particularly challenging because of how much detail is in the translight, the original just looks flat to me.

I think it's kind of a cool feature, challenging to hit and control the ball at the same time,

I have a shaker on mine, it's active especially when you score the hurry ups.

Can someone please explain how the multiplier works?

I hit the button and the screen moves the multiplier from red to green, a few inserts on the pf turn green. Im assuming it is those shots that now get the multiplier? So each one scores a multiplier or do I need to hit all the green arrow shots to collect it.

How do I know how much those shots are worth?

I've seen it mentioned you can move the multiplier, how Is that done?

How do you build the multiplier?

Thx

Excellent, thank you!

Updated MF mod for the pro, tilted and more detailed and weathered look...

Mystic Purple powder coating on my pro. Looks awesome...IMO.

Looks awesome in person, it's a space theme, purple goes with space themes. White? I don't think I've ever seen white look good on a pin. I've seen GB in white, definitely not for me. Not a fan of grey either, maybe for terminator, not Star Wars. It's all personal taste anyway, no good or bad, just what you like.

In my opinion, red doesn't go so well with Star Wars and would look odd. No idea why they put red t molding, chrome would have been better. I thought a more discrete color like purple would look better. The purple blends in with the game well and that's what I was after.

I get mine done locally. Find a place that does automotive powder coating, they will do it for you.

Replaced the T-molding on my pro with black, didn't like the red and it didn't match my purple powder coating.

Yes, that is what you want. I used it on mine.

Every stern game has them, they serve no purpose that I can see. Take them out if they interfere.

I made some for my game...

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c9nlvxtxhwxjtbk/AADPqslqlrZJjhFCw0HAOc6wa?dl=0

I tried, but whatever color I used, my eyes just couldn't see them. Yellow was the best balance where I could see most of the text. Stern put too much text on the instruction cards. Nobody ever reads the cards anyway, at least I don't.

If someone wants the raw file I used to improve it, happy to send along. I literally just pulled images from Google, pasted into word and inserted a transparent text box over it, resized and printed. A graphics artist I am not...clearly.

I don't know how people are progressing, the shots are so fast and there is so much side to side movement. It's like iron man, you brick a shot and its in the outlanes, only worse because the shots seem shorter than ironman so the ball come back much faster at you. Even after a ball save the ball goes in the outlanes sometimes without ever even touching it with the flippers. I thought I was a scent plAyer, guess not.

I have to say though, this game is really addictive, I must have pushed start 15 times in a row last night and I sucked every game, never broke a billion. Still learning how to play.

I did mine in mystic purple...

Surprised rock can’t do sw prem, not sure what the issue is, similar set up as pro.

On backbox, Since you asked: https://lermods.com/products/ghostbusters-pinball-led-strip-backbox-light-kit-25176375-ad8b-4717-88fc-b99abdaff45f

We can add flasher integration if you want it. Pm me for more info if interested..

The factory leds in the backbox are controlled via the menu system. You can choose zero to turn it off. The flashers for the backbox would connect directly to the flashers under the playfield. You can choose which flasher to hook to.

You have to be careful about hooking lights up to spike, I think it's a less robust system for add ons. Our backbox runs off the 12v connection on the power supply board or we can supply an external 12v supply for no additional charge, but you need to plug it in when you turn the game on. They are nice, and take several hours to put together.

Did you play the game? Once you play, you kind of forget how barren it is as it draws you in.

here's our version of the mf...for those who might be interest...

This is our version of the falcon

Gomez mentioned the topper at pintastic, said the delay was basically due to the Lucas film studio being very particular about things, such as colors. He made it sound like r2d2 would be released very soon.

Hi,

I have two millennium falcons available. These are the style that Mezel was selling, but no longer has them available. I believe these are the X-wings and are 5" long and 3.75" wide. One is ready to be sold immediately, the other will be available in a few days, just waiting on a part. It includes a custom mount and is lit solid blue with EL wire as shown in pic. These are the only two we will have available in this style so speak now (via PM) if you want it. It will be $99 shipped.

Dup post

We ended production of our original falcon because the model we were using became very hard to find. It used LEDs and was interactive with the ramp flasher. Mezel stopped making their version and asked us to take it over for them, which we’ve done. It is lit with EL wire and has a warm blue glow, but is not interactive. Hope that helps.

It’s weird, when we switched to the el wire, we got emails From customers telling us they wanted the led strip version. Can’t win. Wish I could offer both versions and let people choose, but it’s not an option right now so el wire version it is. Personally, I like the led strip version because it’s brighter, interactive and easier to make. If you’ve ever worked with el wire, it’s like working with human hair, very tough to see and strip the wires.

Not hard at all. You pre-drill a few holes, screw in the new service rails. You don’t even need to remove the stock pegs, just take the rubber pieces off them.

Plus shipping and sales tax, neither of which we charge so we are close on price. Comet has some nice stuff, but I’d argue our quality is higher with more vibrant colors and brighter leds...we have them custom made for us. Someone wants 10 trough lights, we can provide a discount and I’ll meet or beat anyone’s total price.

wouldnt go that far, but we usually get pretty decent rates and never mark it up.

That stock connector is for a dollar bill adapter, which I’m going to guess you don’t have. Unplug it and plug in the falcon.

The one Mezelmods now sells is made by us. Others who have it can chime in, but those reviews are pretty old. When we first started making these years ago, we used el wire. The feedback from some people, which was fair, was that it wasn’t very bright. El wire typically isn’t very bright unless it’s in very dark situations. We switched over to a much brighter light source and included dimming/fading effects so it lights up better and looks like the engines are glowing. Unfortunately, when we made this change, we no longer had the game and couldn’t provide new pics. There are only 3 reviews on the Mezelmods site and we have sold a lot of these so I can only conclude the vast majority are very happy with our Falcon. Hope that helps.

You can’t power el wire directly off the game, needs an inverter.
