Is this a fact in regards to Comic Premiums? This game is on my short list, but I was not looking to add just yet because I was hoping to buy it cheaper on the used market down the road. If that’s truly the case with production numbers then I might have to bite the bullet and buy it new while I can, lest it become the next Tron LE and priced into the stratosphere once SW is officially retired.

What do you guys think?

Thanks guys. Something tells me a year from now it’s going to be a lot harder to find and obtain a comic premium. I may have to shuffle my to-do list around now.

Would love if anyone can confirm they’re making less of these than other SW versions, but if the license is up in July than I guess it truly will be.

Someone here said the license for Star Wars expires in July. Does anyone know when last call is? Does Stern usually announce that?

Happened on my GB once. I unplugged all the node boards and replugged them in, nothing beyond that, and all LED’s worked again.

Comic Premium? Congrats! Where did you buy yours if you don’t mind me asking? I don’t think my distributor can get this one anymore.

Thanks boys, appreciate the tips!

That’s a custom mix via Pinball Browser. Reach out to PinballMIX, for a fee he’ll do all the work for you. That video you saw was likely his, see thread below:

That’s good to know, thanks for sharing. And I hear you, time is money. Mustang is on my short list and to enjoy that game one must change the music. I’ll keep what you said in mind. Sounds like what you need is for someone else to do it, and then they share their final bin file with you.

Had one of those too but can’t find it. I’ll buy it again if I have to, it’s a great tool to have on hand.

Did not know this was the original, and it’s only like $12 more. Will go with this if I can’t find mine. Thanks for sharing!

I believe these get wiped everytime the code is updated.

Number of plays should be like the odometer of a car. Never to be tampered with.

Did you just get this from Cointaker? They have Premiums in stock? Nice pick-up!

This is the video where I learned. He has a premium with the rails, but it’s the same concept.

I like the topper, but does anyone feel it’s a little out of place on a Comic Premium? It’s all dark side from every angle, and then there’s good guy R2 right above Vader. I’m probably just overthinking it.

Comic Pro art with the matching art blades might be the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen.

And you have it next to a Mustang Boss too. Dear lord, freddy if you ever decide to sell it PM me. Been looking for one for a long, long, time.

*edit* just saw your avatar, which means you’re probably never selling it, haha, understood

It’s true, I cannot deny it! Have gotten two more games after your IM, what have you done to me?

If you plan on keeping it forever, go for it, but I believe most Pinsiders wouldn’t want to buy a game permanently modified like that.

Nice custom sling plastics though.

That is freaking awesome. The main video, the small LCD video, the light show, all of it. Shame that it was pulled. I remember the first time I hit Ghostbuster midnight madness at an arcade in real time, never experienced one in my life, never knew it was a thing. Such a cool experience.

That’s intentional. They refuse to deal with US buyers. Zitt used to run a group buy somehow every so often, but those days are gone now too.

I forgot about that one. It’s dope, I like it

Speaking of code, I haven’t been keeping up with this thread, but will soon be a new SW owner… was midnight madness coded back in?

Once upon a time there was custom code with additional scenes, shuffling the end ball scenes, and possibly new music in places. Is that still happening with the latest code?

Good to know, thanks for that info. I’m in talks to buy a comic art premium so I’ll be on the original hardware. Fine sacrificing insider connect for midnight multiball. I downloaded custom code a few years ago, but I believe it’s 1.13. Not sure if there’s a newer custom code out there as I believed the current official code is 1.25.

I spoke with him and he’s working on updating the code now, should be available soon. Not sure if it’ll include any additional JW music or if it’ll be a straight port of 1.10 to the current code.

Random request, I just went through the entire gallery of this thread and can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. Can someone with an unmodified/stock backbox please take a picture with the translite removed? Thanks in advance!

Wow, you are the man! Thank you so much!

This is how I plan on doing my comic premium once I have some available funds to do so. It’s subtle, but I love it for Star Wars in general.

That looks awesome. It’ll be a little bit until I can work on/access my game. If no one gets back to you sooner, I’ll give it a shot

If I had the standard premium, I would do the same. I’ve seen a few in white (I believe in this very same thread) and they look great.

Go through the topic gallery of this thread. It’s been shared before. Looks real nice IMO.
