Joining the party soon. I bought the one Meny had left and I have a premium UVkit coming! I’m hoping to have it before New Years. Zach said this is the last run and will be discontinued. I didn’t realize that so I’m glad I was able to snag one

#13159 2 years ago
Quoted from Ratman:

Mine has been shipped however it has run into some bad weather and it is probably still 3 or 4 days away.
I am also curious to see if this last run has insider connected as I have read somewhere that everything built after September would include IC.

Zach said it will have insider connect

#13184 2 years ago

Paid my invoice today. Hoping I can get my pro before New Years. Fingers crossed

#13192 2 years ago
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

Still need to install the UV kit all the way. I was successful in moving my insider connected QR reader onto the premium apron. Not thrilled about the UI of insider connected for this game. Hopefully the plan in cleaning it up.
[quoted image][quoted image]

Was that precut? I have a premium uv kit coming I’m putting on my pro. I’m hoping it’s an easy install

#13218 2 years ago

Fed ex just call and they received my stranger things at the terminal. I setup for delivery tomorrow! Big shout out to ZMeny for shipping it so quick. We didn’t know if I could get it by our New Years party but it looks like we will!

#13237 2 years ago

I got my kit today I’m just waiting on my pin now. How long does the uv kit take to install?

#13239 2 years ago
Quoted from smokinhos:

If u have the right tools ready.. maybe an hour... greatest upgrade EVER!

I have a ton of tools so assume I should be good there. I have the shooter rod, art blades and shaker coming with the pin but I want to get it all installed before I play it. It will take a lot of patience!

#13242 2 years ago
Quoted from smokinhos:

Do u have pinshields? For putting in the art blades?

Yep, sure do. Messed up my lotr ones so bought pinshields about 3 years ago

#13244 2 years ago
Quoted from TommyMc:

Zach from FlipNout has a video on you tube shows how to install it. What it before you get your pin.

Ok, Ill do that now. Thanks!

#13260 2 years ago

Got it! Time to install the UV kit

#13264 2 years ago
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

Your serial is very close to mine. You will likely have to update code, too.

I downloaded the 1.05 Cleland code

#13267 2 years ago

My left down post keeps firing and then the error says it’s malfunctioning. Anyone have this issue?

#13269 2 years ago
Quoted from SonOfaDiddly:

occasionally, when balls stack up behind that post during multiball, my game will have an issue where a ball does not get kicked out due to how the next ball behind it settles against the lower ball guide. this is usually only an issue during 4 ball multiballs and happens extremely rarely if and when 3 or more balls are in the mystery shot at the same time. if the post fires and fires and no ball kicks out, the game will display the operator error you're seeing. it doesn't happen often enough for me to justify taking the left ramp apart to fix it- most of the time you can just nudge the table for a warning or two and the situation will right itself.

Mine is every game. It has to be something registering but not showing in switch test

#13271 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Make sure the optos are clear and clean. Something might be causing fake registers.

Had to take the ramp off and clean the opto. It’s working now, thanks!

#13279 2 years ago

I am waiting on my art blades from stern. I have a quick question. Do they also have art that’s UV activated?

#13281 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Unfortunately no. Surprised nobody made them. I guess the interest in the game was just too low for the mod makers to jump on it.

Bummer, I am too. It would be awesome

#13300 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

I don’t think anyone is selling for less than $300 right now.

I bought mine from Tilt for 300 plus shipping 5 days ago. It was the only person I saw sell them for msrp.

#13302 2 years ago
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

I was surprised to see Terry charging more than MSRP for the kit.

Me too, he is usually one of the few good ones that aren’t upcharging. Part of the reason I always buy from him

#13307 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

That’s not MSRP. They came out at $279. I paid that shipped.

Ah ok, either way he is the cheapest I’ve found since they had them in stock recently

#13309 2 years ago
Quoted from Vitty:

Found one from Kingpin for 279.99 plus shipping. Chris is good people!

Messaged and he doesn’t have any available. I was hoping to find one for my friend. Oh well

#13343 2 years ago

I had a good game. It was a lot of fun. The final showdown is going to be hard as hell to get to

#13386 2 years ago
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

WTF is it with the normally reputable guys now charging significantly over MSRP? I'm disappointed by this. Glad I got mine from ZMeny for proper MSRP.

Marco is almost always over priced even before the pandemic . It’s the reason I always went to pinball life. Unfortunately they are starting to do the same.

#13459 2 years ago
Quoted from PinPickle:

Sorry for a sideways post but I would like to ask my STH brotherin in hopes my trader doesn’t see it.
I have a RUSH LE confirmed and paid order. I was going to keep it but I got a 2 for 1 offer. The 2 games that are offered are the really the only two other games on my want list. (Havent played either)
My :Rush Le
Their: TWD Pro, DP Pro Both have under 625 plays.
I think it’s a no brainer, have to do it, but would appreciate opinions from you all.
I have had a bunch of offers to sell outright but not looking to “flipper” profit. Other guy is Canadian (like me) drummer and huge Rush fan.
Thoughts?
(Again sorry for the left turn)

No brainer…I’ve down graded a couple of LEs to pros and I don’t miss them at all. Those are two super fun ones too

#13554 2 years ago
Quoted from HighVoltage:

Cointaker has the premium UV kit in stock for $279.
Kudos to them for not price-gouging: I will be sure to remember this when making future purchase decisions.
https://cointaker.com/products/stranger-things-uv-lighting-kit1

Awesome coin taker is selling the prem uv kit for $279. I’m sure they will sell fast but glad they are msrp. Helps with all these scalpers.

Topper is $639 at little shop of games too if people are looking.

#13616 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

That one tiny rule changes the entire game.
If you’re a stranger things super fan and want a truly immersive experience the full package is the only way to go. Unfortunately it’s way too expensive. I wouldn’t want to pay anymore than 7-8k for a premium.

That’s a pro price now, I’m over 8k with all my mods and topper. Gross

#13702 2 years ago

Does anyone have or had an attack from mars and stranger things in the line up at the same
Time? I knew they were similar but I’m thinking it may be one or the other down the road. I really enjoy both. Stranger things is more recent so playing that way more right now. Almost leaning towards selling our AFM SE. people are fetching 9500-10k and we have a cactus canyon coming

Curious folks thoughts on keeping both.

#13706 2 years ago

Thanks for the replies. My wife loves the jiggly martians and the humor. I do too. It would be really hard to sell either. I’m hoping rush sucks as if it’s good I’ll need to move something for when CCr arrives

#13723 2 years ago

Just got my topper! Looks great!

#13733 2 years ago
Quoted from Lateralus:

Hey all,
I'm considering purchasing this one. If you could start over or make the best decision, would you recommend I consider the Pro or Premium for this pin?
I'm sure everyone will have their opinion, but is there a huge difference, or would I be happy with a pro?
I've read the Pro is a totally different game. Is that true?
Thanks in advance!

I had the LE rented for a month a little while ago. The projector was cool but the wall lock sucked. I actually like the pro for play wise better. I have a pro now

#13741 2 years ago
Quoted from joetechbob:

Whoever rented it to you didn't have the TK lock dialed in...

That is true…it was not and I’d get stdm all the time when it rolled back

If it was only $1200 more then I’d do it but now even if they did nib it’s 2k difference. I know they are all done running any model of stranger things which is why I bought the final run of the pro. Aftermarket it’s probably even more than a 2k difference. It’s not worth that for the lock and projector to me. I would of for 1200 back in the day

#13869 2 years ago

I started watching the show for the first time. I love the pin but not huge on creepy shit. I watched the first three episodes and it’s really good. It’s really putting things into perspective on the pin lol. I think this might be a keeper and we trade out/sell afm se

#13882 2 years ago

You have a lot of good reasons right now. I got mine before new year and love the code. Simple to follow but hard to complete. You need to have the uv kit for upside world though. It’s pretty amazing. I like my pro so much that if a pin has to move I would keep it over my other most recent last year which is afm SE, GZ pro or JP pro. That’s saying a lot

#13922 2 years ago
Quoted from Xdetroit:

Just joined the club!
[quoted image]

awesome, make sure you get the uv kit from cointaker. Premium will work

#13984 2 years ago
Quoted from radfordian3505:

About to rejoin this wonderful club. Trading my elvira house of horrors for a stranger things premium plus 1k cash. Do yall feel this is a good trade for me

Does the stranger things have the uv kit and other mods? It seems good if it does

#13986 2 years ago
Quoted from radfordian3505:

Oh yes, topper,uv kit, shooter rod, side art and side rails

That are giving you 1k plus stranger things prem?

#13988 2 years ago
Quoted from radfordian3505:

Yes bc my elvira is so nice and has all the mods too.

I’d say that’s a great trade but I love stranger things. Elvira is fun I just don’t enjoy it as much as stranger things

#14004 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Somebody get Ryan some training! Haha.

Yeah, this isn’t some type of plan to stop people doing this it’s just their crappy service department. I have 3 open tickets open one from 2 years ago. Chas was good (rip), all others have not been much help at all.

#14222 2 years ago
Quoted from Utesichiban:

Anyone have the Stranger Things side armor on their game? I have a chance to get a set but unsure how it looks on the game. Thoughts?... or pictures.

I don’t but I’ve seen it and it looks great! I’m looking for a set as well. I have my name on for the next run of armor they are planning

#14401 2 years ago
Quoted from swampfire:

I connected a subwoofer today for the first time (using the new “sub out” pin on CN5), and I’m floored by how great it sounds. There’s a ton of detailed bass content in this game.

Agreed. I did it a couple months ago. Tried it on stranger things and Godzilla. Stranger things sounds pretty awesome with a sub. GZ not so much a change

1 month later
#14795 1 year ago

I am going to be listing my topper for $600 if anyone is interested. Perfect condition, I got it nib a couple months ago and it’s been on my Sth never moved.
