Secret cash grab

It's integrated in the code so you'll likely need their kit.

Got my game today and installed my first mod.

UGH, went to power on my machine when I got home and it wouldn't come on. I flicked the power button on and I would hear 4 or 5 clicks and then nothing. Opened the coin door and got the keys for the backglass and when I turned it on once it was opened up it powered right on of course. I've never seen that with my other machine. Anyone know what those clicks might be? Hopefully it was just a glitch and not the sign of something dying

I bought the UV kit for my Pro, just because I'm a sucker I guess. What exactly did I buy? It sounds like a new apron with UV light and some replacement plastics?

When can we download the new code ?

and new additions lights.

It does have amazing atmosphere...I'm not entirely clear what this UV kit does; just different lighting for the upside down?

Like UV spot lights on the sling or something? Am I right in saying they are including a whole new plastic apron?

They said at the beginning of the stream they believe it should be released this evening.

have to say this looked fantastic and suspect will look even better in person...

I initially thought that this was a stretch to charge another 280bucks but then I think about how much I pay for lighted speakers and other mods and this is a piss in the ocean and no big deal.

Neil.

Kit includes a new apron with lights, lights you attach to the ramps, a power board and cabling/screws. Premium/LE kit includes the metal apron.

EDIT: Forgot about the new plastics too.

I just rewatched that youtube vid for the 5th time; so it's UV lighting that screws in on the side of the ramp and must feed to the GI underneath...Doesn't look like any extra plastics or apron.

I'm going to order it; I'm sure it will take this pin to the next level.

we have a secret. ya have to bend over though!!

yup a new control board and a wiring harness.

its a new apron. its new UV inked plastics. about 8 of them.

Pin Stadium seems to do ok with that type of market. If you don't like it don't buy it, easy decision. The "I bought an LE so I'm entitled" BS is childish. You got everything you paid for when it was advertised. The complaint is that you don't get future additions too? I can't wrap my head around that but to each their own. Happy Pro owner here and the kit was an instant purchase for me.

Kit contains: New bottom arch w/ LEDs installed, 8 new butyrates, ramp LED boards mounted on install brackets, fasteners.

Damn, nice!!!

deadflip's stream is on twitch.tv/deadflip

$280 does seem like a lot, then I remember how much I paid for the Tron mini arcade, the Tron lighted ramp kit, or my lighted sauron eye for LOTR, all awesome mods, and it doesn't feel so bad, especially given it includes an apron.

I do think though that LE owners should get this for free, or at least significantly discounted. Saying this as a non-LE owner. Personally I think LE's should come with all Stern accessories. For ones not available at launch, a gift certificate/code.

FWIW, my GOTG did this. I just reseated all the connectors on the MPU and it came back on.

Does it come with some kind of new special node board? Or does it plug into existing plugs on existing boards? If the latter than it's totally doable DIY.

Separate power board.

Damn

Thanks I'll go ahead and do that as a precaution

I’m planning on ordering the kit. Do I think it’s a little Steep? Kind of. But I’m also a sucker for this. I mean. It does seem like we’re getting a lot for the price. Maybe order it in a couple weeks.

Amen!

wern't you selling your game? have a change of heart?

I will say I'm excited to try the new code. Looks like a lot of nice changes.

Hey Tim. I don’t mind paying for mods but this was already in there from the factory. It should have came with the game. Also is your demigorgon shot still awesome? I can’t get mine to work even after hours of adjustments and tinkering. I have the game leveled with a high end digital level too!

Yep

Oh ok I thought it was just the lights. So you are getting a good amount of things in the kit.

Demo shot still easy on mine (I hit it 90% of the time), no clue why it is so different game to game but counting my luck for now. I guess for some they feel like the PF having a type of ink is enough to justify it "already being there", to me it feels like a cool addition I don't mind paying for much like a topper or any other lighting kit. It isn't cheap but neither is much of anything in this hobby.

I can see both sides of the coin. The kit does come with more then I first thought. I guess I’m just frustrated that my start button was broke, my cabinet speaker didn’t work, one of my light sockets has to be replaced, and my demigorgon shot doesn’t work as advertised. Stern has been great about getting me the parts needed to fix my game. But this should not have come to me like this.

timmmmyboy is my gc still on the machine or have I been replaced?

I probably would have bit on $150. I'm just not doing it on $300.

.84 is on the site! #wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

are worth more, i.e. 8 degrees for each made shot. Also, once the thermometer

solid) to indicate that those shots are more valuable.

Sorry I'm late to respond to this (after all the UV stuff, which I think is really cool). Yeah...I did adjust it individually. But what I'm saying is even when I have all the green blocks lined up, when I play a game, the animated arrows and Jackpot up the ramps aren't aligned properly (nor are the billboards aligned properly). Only the targets are good. It's a pain in the ass.

That thing is sweet! I'm waiting for the light-up (overpriced) one that Stern is putting out. $125, anyone?

no new call outs on the new code??

Did they fix that nasty Burn It Back/Multiball bug? I was having my first great game last night (at 130 million and counting) and the damn game rebooted on me.

Code is still only 0.84. Not sure how they run these numbers, but it does mean a LONG way to go still. Ordered my UV kit. I'm either a sucker or get the MOD market. Or both. but I'm happy as hell with my game. No issues AT ALL for me. Pro version BTW.
