LTG, hugely sorry, I clicked on the wrong vote. I changed it.

Please accept my apologies, you are extremely helpful to me and everybody else here.

Quoted from fooflighter:

So lately I noticed I was getting a lot of scoop rejects (bounce in and out) and my scores have been going down ...I finally peered inside and realized the Cliffy was really bent up and acting like a spring to the ball. I removed it and put back in the original Mantis protector...wouldn't ya know it...no rejects post reinstall and proceeded to get a GC. I guess don't fix what isn't broke would be the lesson. Cliffy looked a little better but I was never happy how the lip came up in front of the scoop slightly and also the attachment points in the hole seemed a little weak.

Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

I bought one for my scoop as well. Never got around to installing it. My scoop looks just fine still ...and I'd rather be playing than tearing the machine apart.

Quoted from Vespula:

Same here. If anyone wants mine....

Quoted from mostater:

I have a cliffy too waiting to install but may not. Scoop looks fine so far.

Quoted from screaminr:

I haven't installed the Cliffy set and after 869 games everything looks great .

Quoted from Vespula:

You just reminded me I forgot I have the set which includes the shooter lane cliffy also. I think it would look cool installed but Just never got around to doing it.. my shooter lane looks great Just like my scoop with just over a thousand plays. Maybe I'll just hold on to them in case like Xelz says.

Quoted from ukengineer:

I get to pick up Guns N Roses LE tomorrow. Really looking forward to spending some time on that one.

Quoted from 67cutlass:

I'm hoping to pick up SE version this weekend. What is the head size dimensions (basically width). Is it wider than a Stern? Trying to determine if I need to take any doors off.

Quoted from Rivsta:

Hi all, I’m still a bit of a newbie, I thought I’d share a few of my cheap little mods, if anyone is interested, hope this is on the right thread
First one was a GNR 3d belt buckle, I grinded the little pieces off the back to make if flat, and stuck it on over the printed logo , it was $25 aud
The 2 x les Paul’s guitars , either side of the buckle were off eBay $16 each ..
Third one, is the skull on the left ramp covering the black sensor cap…
$12 for the skull and $6 for about 5 mini roses from a craft shop…
I made a cardboard templet that fitted over the cap, and then use a dremel to cut that out on the bottom of the skull,
Added a bit of extra black on the eyes and teeth, used the smallest drill bit I had and drilled 2 holes in either side of the teeth
And feed the rose thru it, and gave it a coat of clear coat… ( as the skull is hollow I had to put a bit of material packing inside
Just to make it up just right…) so for less than $20 I covered up that ugly senor. ( I will one day, wire up some green leds in the eyes)
Fourth , used one of the mini roses to cover up the wiring on the right side near the not in this life time speakers .
Five , from the same craft shop bought a pack of 6 stick on roses flowers for $5 .
Covered up the top of the spot light in the bottom trough near the flippers, and a couple other places
Six.. I was struggling here in Australia to get some mirror blades for my machine, I had a feeling if I ordered them from the US , by the time they got here they would of been damaged.. and was told by a few other that would more than likely be the case..
So I ended using silver / chrome wrap , I think it works quite well. It’s not as mirrored finished as polished aluminium, but it gives off a nice
Reflection and easy on the eyes , without having to wear sunglasses ..lol ( so I’ve read with the mirror blades)
All up, for less than a $100 bills, I’ve got to add a few personalised touches to my machine …[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Nice touch man,
Top value and looks great !
I would love to see Slash top hat on that skull.
Very cool, well done.

The shirt Slash wears was a gift of mine to him for doing this. He responded with this picture.

Quoted from Enron64:

Hello all,
In may I bought a wonka LE and now the JJP fever has hit me hard. I sold my LZ premium and AIQ pro and am now gonna buy another JJP. I was looking at a GNR LE or a Hobbit LE. Was wondering what everyone thinks of their GNRs? If you have owned a hobbit or played one as well even better.

Quoted from Blu:

I like GnR better personally. GnR has more enjoyable shots and I like the rules, and art better. I like the hobbit theme better. Both are enjoyable games. Personally I’d rate them all as woz, Pirates, GnR, Wonka, and Hobbit. I haven’t played TS yet.
Your mileage may vary on any/all of the above.

Quoted from screaminr:

it makes everything thing else look old.

Quoted from screaminr:I just started a song with nothing setup .
Song level was 10 , album level was 0 , I got to encore and did a bit of another song .
Then I remembered , I could skip an album mode , so for the first time , I held down the action button .
I started another song and got to platinum level and then it started to go blue , Song level was at 40 and album level was 110 .
I ended up with a crap score but could see the potential for so much more .
Shit like this keeps me coming back .
Such a great game .
Edit -. Next game I got 7.8 million for 6 ball power cord , that's huge for me .

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Nice! RE: powerchord. Yea sometimes my strat going in on my very first song is go for a 5 or 6 ball powerchord while simultaneously building its multiplier. Collect, cash out of song, collect extra ball and get ready for song 2 with 10+ mil. Good times.
I know the hardcore ballers think 10 mil is nothing but it’s actually quite a lot if you reduce song scoring and boost album scoring. In that scenario above, with my settings, I could jump into the album mode and collect another 5-10 mil before going into song 2. Telling ya, change up the settings opens up so many more ways to tackle the game.
Now about that slash solo mode….

Quoted from screaminr:

Dammit , I was on a roll having good games and then my scoop started going STDM , thought I have to tighten it again , and then I saw the rubber had broken .
I know it's been mentioned , but where do you get them from .

Quoted from DiabloRush:

I own both a GnR and Hobbit. Two totally different and amazing games.
Hobbit has some of the most interesting and varied shots and modes ever done. The 3 banks of individually-controlled drop targets are put to stunning use in this game. So many different shots. Moving targets, hit the targets behind but NOT the drops, and of course, the final kill shot for Smaug. I agree this is probably the most stunning moment in Pinball. It's hard for a reason: you not only have to get to this point, then you have to load the Windlass (captured ball shot by solenoid from the left outdrain), it fires to the upper flipper, and you have one chance to hit the switch behind a single, dropped target in a 5-target bank. This simulates killing Smaug by placing a careful shot through a missing scale in his armor. Do it, and the flippers go dead, balls drain, and you get an amazing video sequence. Anyway, theres much more to Hobbit: best action button use in any game, choices throughout at each stage, "monster" popups that force you to change shots and strategy, etc. If you want a mode-based adventure game with varied shots and objectives, this is it. It's the better playing game of the two.
GnR is the best overall pinball experience. The highlight in GnR is the stunning song/light choreography. There's nothing like the light shows on GnR anywhere in pinball, and the overall integration with the videos and songs is just amazing. I never tire of reaching Dirty Robot. The yellow/red light theme and some of the best video animation ever done accompany this mode. GnR does have some rule-based strategy to optimize scoring. The rules do have some complexity if you want to maximize points, but you don't need to know much to just enjoy getting song modes and see each unique light show. Patch collecting, for example, is a deep rabbit hole that will takes months to fully explore. GnR is the better walk-up-and-play machine for guests and friends that aren't pinheads.
My biggest criticism of GnR is the static nature of the layout. Unlike Hobbit, you pretty much shoot the same shots and field for each mode. This isn't bad. 98% of all pinballs are this way. Hobbit isn't, which makes it really dynamic with its combination of modes, bank targets, and popups.
Really, you can't wrong with either. Both are in my personal top-10.
