Quoted from Lermods:

We have been considering modding the camaro and the hopper blazer, but I think they will be too big for the game. The camaro is just over 5” and the blazer is 6”, both are pretty big for the playfield. If someone has a game and wants to be a tester for me, please contact me.

Any thoughts to making a large Mind Flayer mod, perhaps to place at the back of the game?

Quoted from kpg:

I know I'm gambling with this one, Lonnie on code for one (I promised myself I'd never buy another Lonnie game)

I agree with you here. I owned TFLE and AVLE and both came out with code roadblocks and game play felt like chopping wood. So, I'm skeptical of anything he does.

Quoted from f3honda4me:

I've got over 1000 games on my AFMr and there isn't a single dimple to be seen. And after 400 games the rick and morty on route in madison has zero dimples as well. If some CGC games are dimpling I'm not sure why some are and some aren't.

Since so much dimpling is trending again, I decided to take another close look at my games as it's been about a year since I last looked, and I started to get spooked that I was missing something. I have PDI glass on most of them, so I hadn't really noticed anything out of the ordinary previously. I must be lucky because after close examination, none of my games are excessively dimpled. I used to work overseas, so it was fairly common before MBr and Black Knight for my NIB games to sit an extra few weeks before they were setup and even then go months in between plays. Plus, these are all in a home environment with plays in the low thousands for most of them. Maybe the clear had more time to dry? I don't know.

Monster Bash - The worst of my games, but still very minor in the big scheme of things. A pack of dimples are visible, mainly in the dark blues below the Frank inserts. It's also my only game with a couple of dents on the ramp flaps. Still, it's not bad at all and the dimples are very small, plus it took some close side views to really tell. My friends play the heck out of this game.

Mars Attacks - A have a few in two places. The aqua looking area to the left of the England insert and same colored area to the right of the Italy and England inserts, below the Light Lock and Ruler of the Universe inserts. These are really small areas and only a few dimples. They were very difficult to see and only at certain angles and lighting. If I have to look that hard, it must not be a problem.

Medieval Madness - I'm sure there are some, but I really couldn't see any. There are so many inserts that it's hard to find any.

Black Knight Pro - I counted about 8 dimples, mostly over by the left stand up targets and a couple near the flail, but it's my least played game, maybe between a hundred and fifty and two hundred games so far. Otherwise, the playfield is like glass.

Iron Man VE - My most played game by far and I think it may be a case of so many plays and dimples that they're fairly uniform now. I didn't see any distinguishable dimples, though the field didn't look like glass either. I find that surprising considering the amount of bashing the Iron Monger takes and the number of hard shot rejects I get when I miss the ramps. I definitely need to wax it again.

BM66 - I have some on the magnet, but the playfield looks mostly like glass. It's certainly not cratered like one picture I saw on Pinside a ways back.

Avengers - There were some here and there, probably from Hulk drops ricochets. The color scheme and lighting makes it harder to tell on this one.

I have a Stranger Things Premium on order. I expect it to dimple a little more because of bounce back from the forward facing drop targets and failed Demo shots bouncing off of the large, thin ramp flap. So, my expectations are set for a small increase, but hopefully that'll be it. I'll certainly report back here if they seem excessive.
