I'd happily provide my content to Stern officially.

This looks amazing! So much better!! It puts the wow factor into our TMNT.

So fortunate for Stern to have this material and they’d be unwise to not put it in. It is superior to what they have done in every way.

I'm in love with these updates. They are soooo good.

Lit Kit Flippers, installed on TMNT.

Turtle power, with the pink mutagen version.

Do you mind sharing some picks of your design and how you mounted it? I may try to replicate it.

Stern give Scandell a job, pronto!

We are on a roll.

I went overboard. Shaping it and drilling holes for the hex post and mounting point. If I were to do it again, I would just take a small rectangle of plastic and attach it with double sided tape over the area. It would be enough to do the job.

And yes, I know the edges are ugly and chipped. I’m just a guy with a dremel. No fancy laser cutters over here. Lol.

To make sure I'm understanding you basically are just aiming to cover this area? How has it worked for you so far? I may try something similar.

Yeah. Covering that area you circled is all that matters. I still haven’t had a lock issue since covering it.

I’m not sure if one of the leds is gone or if the colour is correct but every now and then the Donatello insert is orange st the start of a mode instead of yellow. If I remember correctly it’s during the ray mode (where you have to hit ramps then lair) and another mode too. I probably should’ve written it down or poster not long after it happens… but does anyone else experience this? I think it’s correct being orange but I thought all inserts were yellow

Are you playing Michelangelo at the time? Might be his weapon power ups are lit.

It’s definitely not his weapon power ups. I’ll have to play some more today and report back

Awesome, thanks! I'll try to fabricate something next day I have some spare time.

another one...

Like that soooo much better than the current almost static one of turtles looking like their entering pizza parlor.
April animation improvements will really increase like ability of a great game.

Fantastic work ,I hope I can contribute to the effort when finished!

Are there any modes that utilise the pop bumpers or spinner?

It seems very ramp and orbit orientated

What are thoughts on training and leveling up? I feel like the risk reward payoff isn’t there. When I attempt to enter the lair, being slightly off kicks the ball back to the right outline at a very high percentage drain. So I’m just not inclined to even try to enter intentionally and level up. As I’m going to drain on the right outlane 5-1.

Does anyone play a specific turtle and level up at the onset strategically? Any better entrance to lair than from right flipper?

Would love to hear perspectives.

You can backhand the lair shot

skip to 45.25 to see how!

There's a ball save option for lair which helps. I have mine set to 2 seconds

Is that possible with a digital servo?

that looks so good

Being USA, they are probably more likely to give him a lawsuit than a job

Folks,
On a plunge or autofire all the way around to the upper flipper, if you don't hit the ball mine often drains SDTM. Is that by design of a ball guide adjustment?

Everyone but me can backhand the left ramp

I haven't waxed my playfield yet, that may be the difference.

That only works if you actually make the shot! They're talking about missing the shot and draining.

In that situation mine drops to the left flipper, bounces to the right flipper, then bounces up and hangs in the air for a bit. Definitely not draining without some flipper contact.

I would check that your upper flipper isn’t sticking out a little bit and altering the ball trajectory. If so you may need to adjust it back in. This happened to me on my LZ on an orbit shot as well. The flipper from the factory was just sticking out enough that when the ball hit it I would get SDTM 100% of the time.

This looks amazing and address’s my one big complaint with the game- April. Going to put an insider connected kit on my game though, hopeful that one day I could run this eventual code and the kit at the same time (wishful thinking, I know).

Thanks guys, I'll check the flipper... But if not that it sounds like a ball guide adjustment? Is it easy to get to?

It's not aligned to the hole. But even so a slow mo video doesn't show the ball making contact with it.
I tried to re align the flipper but my 5/32 allen key won't move it at all, even feels like I'm stripping the head of the bolt.

I removed nearly everything from the surface of my TMNT playfield and the only thing that made me question the entire operation was removing the flipper bats. I felt like I was going to snap my hex key in two. They did eventually give. The other thing you need to know is that to reinstall them, you’ll need to really crank on the bolt to secure it or it will loosen up during play. So there is a reason those bolts are super-tight.

Back in my Prop collecting days I did a run of Movie accurate TGRI Ooze Canisters. I'm planning on selling my personal canisters from the run and was going to list them for sale on the Replica Prop Forum but thought I'd check if any of the TMNT owners would want it, possibly to use as part of a custom topper or to display with the pin.

The end caps were CNC'd out of solid aluminum stock and the logo plates were rolled to match the radius of the acrylic cylinder.

Here is the info on the old run I did years ago:

Possibly. What kind of pricing are we talking?

Sorry I should have included that, $250

What are the domes that have the leds behind on the training plastics? I am considering changing them to red as the white is so bright

https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/03-8662-9

You just need to clip off one of the tabs. Works like a charm. $1.25

i replaced them with green. Red sounds good too.

Just slide a piece of colored plastic behind them, change to any color easy

I actually made a post on this a couple of weeks ago

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-club2020-cowabunga-its-pizza-time/page/151#post-6542760

Just one of many reasons I love this game:

Battling Slash and having a hell of a time hitting any shots. Finally hit the left ramp to get into Dimension X with 2 seconds left on the clock.

"Welp, not beating this mode today," I think to myself.

Ball comes down the wireform, then I combo right ramp > inner loop > center ramp > left ramp to finish the mode.

Just incredible moments like that in this game...then I drained like 3 shots later lol.

Played in my very first tourney a few weeks ago; luckily TMNT was my first round machine! (almost got to final battle, GC).

But, it was shocking to hear all the other players complain when they drew a game on TMNT. As the tourney went along and they learned that I owned it, they asked about strategy, scoring and turtle selection - no one seemed to have a clue how to score points on this game and everyone picked Donatello or Mikey.

Was interesting to hear the different takes on the game and strategies - they were all over the place (one guy focused on training…) and not even close to how I thought of playing it in a tourney.

Have others experienced this in tourneys?

(Note; finished 3rd overall in the tourney and won handily on TMNT in two rounds)

Hoping to get some help with an odd issue that recently popped up.

When going for the pizza parlor shot (under the van), if the shot is off and to the right, I hear a loud clunk sound. It hits a metal corner just to the left of the pizza target up there and kills all ball momentum. Seems like the metal to the left of the pizza target is being worn down too. Seems like this shouldn’t happen.

Has anyone experienced this or know of a fix? Am I missing a piece there?

Just bought my first pin, TMNT Pro and wondering what is the recommended balls everyone is using for TMNT? Stick with the factory ones or buy aftermarket?

i've replaced balls in all of my games with Silverjets from Marco. On games with heavy magnet use (ala TMNT, STh, etc), there have been reports and concerns over balls getting magnetized, but I've had no such problem with any of mine.

Titan has good pinballs. Get the ones they suggest for games with magnets.

does 'party animal' know its doesn't count in your eyes?

Looks like your pizza target is off to the right and not centered…maybe it’s letting the ball hit that corner of the metal guide. I would start by centering that stand up target.

Latest. Worst idea for a callout in this machine. Making the most of it.
