Joined the club today with a NIB pro. It came with .85 code, so it’s probably been sitting in a warehouse for a while. When I opened the game it had a little arcade game inside.

Quoted from Utesichiban:

He is talking about the fact the Demigorgon shakes on the premium and LE models, right? It doesnt moce on my pro at all. Would be cool if it did.

The demo has some play back and forth on the pro but that’s it, I’m not sure if that’s adjustable so it would move a bit more with a shaker or just moving the machine.

#11895 2 years ago
Quoted from Jediturtle:

Friendly reminder since UV kits seem to be popping back up in stock...if you are a pro owner, you can order the premium UV kit for a free metal apron upgrade. Add a couple LEDs or strips under it for the lit window effect if wanted. Super easy, free upgrade.

Is it exactly the same except the apron?Does it have all the same plastics?

#12011 2 years ago

Can you buy a spare set of plastics with the UV paint without buying another UV kit?

#12013 2 years ago

Thanks. That’s what I figured. I guess I’ll be getting some plastic protectors

#12038 2 years ago

Should the Mystery/Extra Ball shot progress the Walkie Talkie?
Both my left ramp and the shot to the right of it award a Walkie Talkie. I’m not sure if that’s by design or if I should start trouble shooting.

#12040 2 years ago

Thanks for the quick response! I read the beginning of that write up, and it doesn’t mention Collect Communicator on that shot like it does for the ramp.

Left ramp - Feeds the left inlane. A post can hold balls here at certain times during play. On the Premium / LE, this is where the ball is magnetically levitated for a Telekinesis Multiball lock. Has an RGB arrow. Collects Communicators.
Inner Left “mystery” Lane - Deadend target lane between the L ramp and the Upside Down drops bank. Ends in a standup target, which feeds under the L ramp to an up-post, and eventually down the L orbit. When lit, collects Mystery, Demodog Attack, and Extra Ball. Has an RGB arrow.

Quoted from FamDocKevin:

Anyone know if they are going to make any more Premiums? They seem to be in much greater demand than the Pro, so another production line of Pros has me scratching my head on this.

I asked my distributor last week and they said no more premiums are being made.

#12065 2 years ago
Quoted from Flash71:

Is it just me or is that alternative translite just plain bad?!?! The premium one is so good why change.

The pro translite kinda sucks IMO. The only alternative ones Ive seen are retro refurbs but I don’t really like them either. Is there another one besides these?

Quoted from paul_8788:

I've been holding out to get a Premium, but looks like that ship has sailed at anything like reasonable prices, even if Stern does do another run in 2022. Considering a Pro because I think I can still get one before the prices go boom.
Kind of a weird situation though because it will probably come with Insider Connect, with the Pro apron. I already have the Premium UV kit, was just going to use the apron from that. I wonder if I will be able to move the QR reader over from the Pro apron to the Premium one and get the new apron art from Stern...

I bet youd be able to move it to the premium apron. Even if you can’t, you can always buy the insider connect for the premium and sell the pro apron.

Im pretty sure the action button is only a mode select button on AIQ

#14338 2 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

That is not what they told their distributors. They’ve told them clearly it was dependent on the license and canceled all outstanding orders for them. They will not be run again by Stern absent a license renewal at some juncture.

Im sure it’s the UV plastics (actors on them) and the apron (with the stranger things logo and actors) can’t be reproduced after the license.
If the kit was just UV lights, it would probably be a different story.

#14339 2 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

How do you start that bullshit mode? It started in a game the other day, I don’t think I had ever started it before. It’s hysterical.

Try shooting mystery when you’re not in a mode or multiball for a better chance at it. During multiballs the game generally adds a ball, and during modes it adds time.

So what’s the consensus, topper good??

It’s cool to look at.

How do you get the MXV skill shot?

3 weeks later
#14872 1 year ago

I still cannot figure out how to get the MXV skill shot. I’m trying to hit the scoop and the roaming arrow in one shot, but I can’t figure out how. If I hit the arrow it turns the scoop shot off, and vice versa. Am I doing it wrong?

Does anyone have a ramp board on hand they want to sell? I have one on order from stern but who knows when that’ll ship

3 months later
#16753 1 year ago

Has anyone had luck disabling the ramp? I need a new board that is unfortunately out of stock to get mine working again. But in the meantime I thought I’d be able to disable the ramp or the targets and have the game ignore that feature.
It doesn’t seem to work that way though. If I disable the ramp, the game still expects you to shoot the demo, so you get stuck. And if you keep the ramp down you can’t make progress either.
Any suggestions or better yet does anyone have a 520-8418-00 dual driver board they can sell me?

#16754 1 year ago
Quoted from dboeren:

How "important" is it to get a Premium with the projector and TK multiball over the less expensive Pro model? I don't have budget for one now (just bought a Godzilla Premium) but I'm trying to make a list of machines to keep an eye out for in the future. The swipe-a-ball feature and TK in general sound cool, but from what I've heard the TK lock is often unreliable and I'm worried the projector may fail in the long run so maybe a Pro is the way to go? What do you guys think?
Thanks!

I like my pro a lot. A few friends have LEs and they are great too. It’s a different experience.

Quoted from nzwiefka:I have the stern shooter (d20) but there are no LEDs in the two holes that would light the shooter up. Anyone know what LEDs I should get for that?

It should’ve come with a new harness with those lights included. If it was purchased second hand and they’re missing, you probably need to contact a distributor to get the harness ordered.
