My Krang Android NECA mod is up on Thingiverse. I use the base that has the long tab in the back right-hand corner, but if you find you want to try a different position or face him another way, there are options with the multiple files. The Android's antenna has little-to-no clearance with the metal bar at the back of the playfield, but if you sit him forward enough, he's got just about a millimeter to spare.

If you want one but don't have a 3D printer, I'm happy to run you off a print. You'll have to cover shipping.

That looks amazing!

Strong!

Topper update: I added some Neca Pizza slices to mine. Lighting is being configured on an actual TMNT machine with these figures. I have no idea what it's going to look like yet, but I'm excited. It'll plug right into the service outlet, so alligator clips. No warranty voids, etc. I'm excited.

Thanks! I'll keep you updated with my progress. I should have some time to paint the test blimp in the next few days. I'm also working on a mount for this NECA April. I'm hoping to fit her near the April target even though there's not a ton of clearance over there.

Buenos muchisimas gracias por tus consejos.
Cambie a bolas de carbono y sigue igual.
Es un error intermitente pero parece más de, apertura de puerta fuego en multi ball ya está revisando ese fallo mil gracias

Cierto ya no funciona.
Estaría bien un sitio donde poder subirlos y tenerlos a mano para poder probar en estos casos.

Buenos días parece que mi problema con fuego multi ball no era bolas.
Lo sigue haciendo pero intermitente así es más difícil de reparar.
Tras varias revisiones del cableado y conectores parece que se solucionó pero no canto Víctoria.
Crei que podría, ser de esta goma pero no amontona las bolas porque no da, salida a las existentes.
Con este plástico desmontado y tras varias partidas pude descubrir que no era ese fallo.
Pedí fotos a un amigo poseedor de una LE he mi sorpresa fue que mi premiun vino con estas mejoras.

Any news on what the issue with the Turtle Power MB is? I just got my brand new Premium machine made last month and the first time I got to that MB my game froze! lol It's running 1.41 code too.

Did you check for magnetic balls?

I've played 3 games they would already be magnetized? And how would that cause the game to freeze and reset?

This issue has come up a few times already in this thread. So far no root cause could be identified, I think. It happens on my LE as well, the Pro is also affected. Bottom of page 81 has a few more occurences of this bug on an earlier code version.

Have you tried to burn a new SD card? With only 3 games on the stock Stern balls i dont think they would be magnetized and the balls being magnetized would not cause resets but a cheap Stern SD card will.

I mean no I wouldn't think I needed to do that on a brand new card regardless if it's from Stern or not, ha.

I can order a new one and see if that helps. Just had a second TP MB and it was fine.

I doubt it's your SD card. There is a well known bug with TP multiball randomly causing resets. All we can really do is wait for a code update to address it.

Is it more a Premium/LE issue? I use Donny as my main turtle most times so i play TP multiball alot and have never had my game reset.

Nope, there‘s several reports from Pro owners around pages 80/81 of this thread

I see thanks, i missed your mention of page 81 on your last post sorry. They were on 1.22 code but looks like it hasnt been fixed yet since some of you guys are still having this happen. Ill have to take glass off and see if i can pinpoint when its actually happening consistently for Dwight.

I believe I've seen it at least once on the current code version. But generally speaking, it has mostly happened for me when playing as Donatello.

That would be awesome! Someone mentioned that it might happen when down to 2 balls and then hitting add-a-ball on right ramp..

In my memory, it always happened quite some time into the MB as well.

Yes, mine is a pro. It doesn't happen often...I've had it 2 or 3 times only so not a huge deal, but definitely needs to be addressed. I never use Donny (reserved for my daughter, LOL). Not sure if turtle selection affects it. It does seem to be fairly deep into the multiball, which is likely why I do not see it often. I rarely get to the add-a-ball, but the last time I did with a nice long multiball without an issue. On the surface it seems very random, which I know doesn't help fix it.

I don't know what to say fellas. I kept mine in TP multiball for almost 15 minutes to point of 300+ million with Donny and it wouldn't lock up. I'll try a different turtle see what happens. Only thing I noticed is it wouldn't award add a ball after the first one even though it said it was awarding one.

I've had the TP MB reset a couple times. Stern is sending me a new SD card to try.

It also takes the game about 40 seconds to boot up. Longer than Maiden by quite a bit.

I would guess the next step would be new CPU.

I’ve owned TMNT pro for a few months now. Initially I loved it, the art, the speed, the ninja pizza MB. The theme is big to me, I grew up with the turtles.

But over the last month I’ve realized I’ve fallen out of love. While I still live many of the things I said before the gameplay is feeling stale. I feel like all I ever shoot is left ramp, right ramp, orbits. The middle ramp feels great but I don’t feel it’s well integrated into the episodes...my wife feels similar. Now I’m contemplating trading it for something else.

For reference I’ve had AIQ LE since the fall. The game keeps me coming back, I’m addicted. The shots feel so good and every mode has me fully engaged.

Do I need to push through and be patient with the game, do I need to change the way I’m playing?

TMNT feels like the girlfriend I always thought I wanted, it’s beautiful... but something ain’t clicking. Is it time to break up?

We had the same issues you are having with boot time and resets. Stern were going to send us a new CPU as well.

Long story short... turned out the power wires for the node board were cable tied that hard that it split the wire coating and the wires would touch. Not enough to blow a fuse but enough to cause resets and other issues. A new SD card fixed the long boot times.

Longer Story. We bough the game NIB at release time in Australia. We swapped out with our Elvira.. CPU, 2 new SD cards, 2 node boards, power supply, and power distribution board. There was nothing left to change over so I knew the issue had to be in the wiring loom. I started with the power wires from the power distribution board. I guarantee you unpicking wires from looms and takimng looms apart is not a nice thing to do. This took 2 days to work out as I was also checking all the plugs and connections. Once I had insulated the wires from each other, nearly all the resets went away. We have only had one reset since the last code update (bug).

I went to the shop and bought a new SD card. I put the latest code on it and loaded it into the machine. Once it did its thing, machine has started booting up fine and we have not had the issue since. I loaded the old card just to see what happens.... boot issues. Card has since gone to the tip. Going backwards in code is not a good idea on this machine. The firmware updates do not undo themselves properly so I think this is not a good idea. We had issues with the SD card because of this. I would recommend full update and verify on this game every time.

Comclusion for us: The long boot time was caused by the SD card. You also need to make sure the card is loaded properly. Reset issue was caused by the wires being tied too tight.

Reset issues for you (if you have the know how) I would disconnect the glider (if you have a premium not sure if this is on a pro) to see if this resolves your reset issues. I would disconnect the GI lighting from the node boards to make sure one of the LEDs does not have a short or the wires are soldered on back to front. A short will cause reset issues without bringing up an error on the CPU.

Hope this helps you out a little. Good Luck!

Sometimes that happens. Sometimes you need a change or a rest. Or sometimes you need space and just want another. It's happened w/everything I've had except White Water and Indiana Jones.

Unplug the game and don’t touch it for a month. Come back to it and see if you miss it, if not, time to move on.

Coming up on almost a year with the pro and still love it. Hoping for another update to polish the scoring, but I’m content with where the game is right now.

Yes happens on my Pro too. Something noted months back amongst most of us. Happens rarely but it really sucks when it does.

Quick tip: Someone has probably already posted this before but if your backglass is rattling against the back box when nudging just place a couple of felt tabs in the corners. Works like a charm!

Good tip! I like to use the same weather stripping foam I use for stand up targets.

Well...

PXL_20210318_204147945 (resized).jpg

Balls are magnetized. They will start to hang up there once they are. Only took about 30 games for my stock balls to start acting up.

same. bought new Titan standard balls in first week and never had the hang up issue in Pizza Parlor since.

I just finished installing the Swinks replacement stand up target brackets and I gotta say it's probably the best thing I've added to my game since I've owned it. I just played about ten fairly long games and not one airball. Before, I was averaging about one airball a game. Some insanely wild ones have jumped flippers, jumped onto habitrails and one launched up over the van and down that little hole they put in the pigeon roof for airballs. Nearly $80 to replace the four culprits, but 100% worth every penny:

• two Dimension X targets
• the thin pizza target at the van entrance
• the red and black 2x playfield target

Might have been discussed before so I apologize beforehand if it was. I was wondering if anyone has any issue with the glider not catching the ball for rafaels skill shot? Not sure if this is a common issue but it seems like the ball is going so fast that the glider doesn’t have time to catch it. Wondering if this is normal or if there is a fix. It moves and tries to catch it but it’s just not quick enough. Thanks

awesome, great to hear

Been playing my le. Like the game but fuck borg for the lair shot have had the glass off for half an hour now. Shot geometry is bad.

Practice backhanding it. I don't even try to hit it with the right flipper anymore.

Yeah it's actually a easy shot once you get it down backhanding it. I like it's alittle tough off the right flipper which takes timing the left flipper closing timed perfectly.

Really!!! the shoot isn’t that hard I can hit that shot with both flippers it just takes concentration doesn’t mean you have to bash Mr borg. It’s a great game just selll the game if it bothers you that much

Shot can be made by lightly shatzing the left flipper and backhanding. It sucks. Its not satisfying.

Right flipper is not worth it. Once in half an hour.

It is a shitty badly designed shot. Sorry to the fan boys, but not everything borg does is gold. It makes leonardo not worth picking.

Interesting seeing this about boot times yesterday. This is my first spike 2. Mine takes around a minute to boot up, but have never had a reset or any other issue. What is a ‘normal’ boot time on this game?

(edited)

If i was going to sell the game it would be for the horrible pf quality. In both terms of the grainy nature and the clearcoat pooling. Both of which are ridiculous on a 9k plus collector piece, but this is stern and stern gives no shits because fanboys will buy regardless. My saving grace is i dont have near 9k in this.

Wow, thank you and good day....

To each their own but the Lair shot is one of my favourite pinball shots. I like under flipper shots in general so that helps. But when the machine was released, from pictures, I was certain that shot was gonna be stupid easy and the ball would constantly end up in there. Oh how wrong I was.

After playing the game a ton, I definitely feel comfortable hitting that shot in a variety of ways. A left flipper backflip, left flipper backhand with 2 balls cradled and a right flipper forehand.

Backhanding that shot is probably my second most satisfying shot behind the center ramp.

Odd how people defend a single game and all of a sudden we're Borg fanboys. We like the game. Relax.

And criticizing us for buying a game that you yourself own the most expensive version of is a little comical.

No but you seem to be. Have a participation trophy.

I can both like and criticize something. Funny how that works. To like a game but also acknowledge its flaws. Guess I should be mindless and praise everything i own. Better go check the marketplace and price pump this. Oh, should add a perfect 10 rating too.

Triggered alert

Guys.. stop feeding the troll, lol. But yea.. srsly.. guys talking about liking Stern TMNT in the Stern TMNT thread.. Didn't realize how crazy that was.

I checked our boot time on our TMNTLE and it was approx 40 seconds. I checked our other 5 spike 2 games and they are all around the same boot time. To answer your question I have no idea what a normal boot time would be. Out of interest and your question I timed them all today when we turned them on. When we were having boot issues with TMNTLE, sometimes our game would take over 90 seconds to boot up.

Hello guys,
I will present myself because it's the first time for me that I'm posting here.
So, I'm Maximilien, a french guy and I bought a TMNT pro model last summer. To be honnest, I'm quite new in this hobby and I don't have friends owning other pinball machines but since I was young I was always attracked by those crazy, loudy and shinny machines. Now I'm 35 and I watched a lot of streams (Thx to Jack ) in order to choose which one I will get and at the end I took the plunge with the TMNT
No regrets at all!!!
For sure with the asymetric game design I'm learning a lot and playing Coop mod with my brother and parents it's so much fun.
The half-shell challenge helps me a lot to train myself, I was so happy when I saw that release end of last year.
On your side what do you think about that additional game mod? Are you playing also usually the coop mod?

My favorite shot is the 2 balls cradled for the Lair shoot, I was impressed when I watched it on stream but at the end it's quite easy. And like BaxterStockman center loop is also one of my favorite shots, It's not easy but so satifying, you can feel in your hands the weight of the ball during the loop if the speed is there, so cool!

I discovered also something that I was not expecting at the begining: It's all the mods that you can installed in order to customize your pinball machine (I'm really a newby ^^).
As I'm a little bit handyman it was a real pleasure to do it! So I installed the shaker, some lights (under the flippers but also on the top of the playfield), plastic ramp protection for the center loop in order to reduce the number of airballs, lot's of other things and I'm not done yet ^^
But last thing I have installed is the PinWoofer pack for TMNT in order to get a better audio, and it's really amazing!!!!!
You can setup the bass frequency and volume but also tribbles and cabinet volume as well. To be honnest I have passed more time to setup the perfect configuration for me than to installed this audio pack. And for that I have to thanks Dan from PinWoofer who helped me on this task giving me video turorial and instruction documents, I never felt alone during this installation .

Anyway, I'm waiting the delivery of my next mod now, the Speaker light kit and I'm wondering if I will buy the Pinstadium Neo fusion after that. What do you think about that purchase?
Thanks a lot for your answers.

So, sorry for this long post, but dudes, I'm so happy with this game that I have to share my feelings in this thread
I'm leaving you with a picture of my TMNT pro model.
Have a nice day, it's pizza time dudes !!
