Quoted from zermeno68:Is that a bad thing? I'm not aware if so.
Just an observation. The HWN/UM BSE powder looks killer in person.

Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:Open her up so we can see her insides!
Actually, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to see the inside of the back box. Please.
Yeah have videos of everything I’m putting together.
Quoted from mnrocketry:Does TNA CE come with a coin box? (I use tokens in my pins at home instead of putting them on free play)
Yes. Oops, maybe not.
Spooky really needs better pics. Mine are better LOL. video is done, about 36 min and I'll upload to YouTube and post here.

On top of it. I love it. Cannot wait for the video spite waiting for mine... This will be a teaser for me for sure.
Kinda weird that the shooter housing is stainless whereas every other bit of metal on the game is black.
Quoted from tectonyc:Kinda weird that the shooter housing is stainless whereas every other bit of metal on the game is black.
I agree.. if anyone reaches out to the company and gets an estimate.
Maybe see if it could be cheaper for bulk purchase? I’d be down for same powder coating.
Quoted from tectonyc:Kinda weird that the shooter housing is stainless whereas every other bit of metal on the game is black.
Yeah covered that in my video. Spooky sent me to their guy to buy a black one.

Was it Lanez Custom Steel?
Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:Hey Spooky….
Offer the option with an upcharge, please?
Fingers crossed

Lanez sold the Halloween and Ultraman matching shooter housing for $64.00, so I’d expect TNA will be the same price.
Quoted from tectonyc:Is it an easy aftermarket swap? Or should I be trying to get Spooky to put it on in the factory?
It’s pretty simple.
Quoted from tectonyc:Is it an easy aftermarket swap? Or should I be trying to get Spooky to put it on in the factory?
Shooter housings are pretty easy to swap. Playfield up, you just remove the rubber shooter tip, then pop the e-clip off the rod (this can be a little stubborn if super tight), then remove the shooter spring and any washers. Remember the order those things go back on! Slid the shooter rod out of the game. The housing is usually held inside the cab by 3 screws or bolts, with a triangular metal plate. Once you unscrew those, the housing comes off. Pretty easy to swap out! Make sure when you reinstall the shooter tip is making good contact with the center of the ball. If it isn’t, reposition your housing.

yeah why the hell would they even do that? 
Quoted from Blakester:Received my Butter/No Butter email. Love the Butter on my HWN. Seems most feel Butter is unnecessary on TNA. Anyone feel strongly otherwise?
so you didn't want butter cab and they sent one w/o asking?

I for one weighed how much am I really going to look at the artwork to justify the cost. This does not affect the gameplay and if you have the machine in a lineup.... your going to cover that expensive addition.
If you can flex this cash for it, folks from TNA #1 run said it is beautiful to see in person...
Devil's Advocate: The artwork is not detailed enough to warrant this addition.
Just my thoughts on how I justified to say Nope.
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:so you didn't want butter cab and they sent one w/o asking?
No they asked--trying to decide
Quoted from Blakester:No they asked--trying to decide
I’m not getting a TNA CE but do have a Rick and Morty with butter and it is exquisite. However, in the case of TNA’s more simplified artwork, I personally would skip the butter option if I was getting the new TNA.
The shooter housing is a horrible cheap chrome look. Prob what was on original. I'll change it out to match black. Butter looks awesome on Halloween because the art is amazing. Not worth cost imo on tna. I changed monitor settings and still don’t like the crispness of the image so plan to change that out and see what it does.
Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:Just ordered my first mod for TNA. The reactor pop bumper mod.
Has anyone done anything different than the reactor pop bumper mod on their machine? Just curious.
I currently have at my home the light up side rails and the light up spooky. Just waiting for the machine to be delivered next week to install them.

Same here and the target decals.
Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:Same here and the target decals.
Target decals are a must.
Quoted from o07eleven:#5 reporting in. Ran out of room with the rest of the games, so she's got her own corner for now.

Damn... looks sexy. Cannot wait till next Friday when mine arrives!!!
So... Are the light up side rails a must? Does it really pop for $129?

Which code did it come with? I see it is running 1.5.0 for the jukebox mode currently.
Do you think Scott's hand got tired signing 250 Hot Pinball Action toppers? 
Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:Same here and the target decals.
Now I'm ordering target decals lol
Quoted from squeekj:Now I'm ordering target decals lol
Ordered... couldn't say no with only 3 bucks for shipping.
Quoted from zermeno68:So... Are the light up side rails a must? Does it really pop for $129?
You be the judge, but my original TNA 189 says yes.

Lighted side rails and the pop bumper mod are totally worth it.
All - got response from the company that powder coated TNA and they said you will be able to buy through their website sometime next week.
It should be the same price as the other two powder coated shooter rod housing.. $64.95
Quoted from RebelGuitars:Lanez sold the Halloween and Ultraman matching shooter housing for $64.00, so I’d expect TNA will be the same price.
Did not realize you posted this.. you are correct.
So, you pay $9k plus tax/shipping for the “CE” version of the game, and you’re still left having to buy pieces like this?
SMH
Yeah, maybe a lame complaint, but if you’re going to advertise powder coating a coin door, hinges, side rails… how can you leave this little detail overlooked.
Also seems like lit side rails and logo, along with speaker light diffusers should have been offered?
You guys are already paying a big premium… and if you “want it all” you’re still left with buying $100s of extras?
This hobby has gone bat-shit crazy

Think of it the other way. If all was included the game would be more $$ and you would be stuck paying if you didn't want it. At least its an option in this case.
Quoted from Blakester:No they asked--trying to decide
I watched the video where Scott Danesi and Jack Danger delivered the very first TNA off the line to a member of the Barenaked Ladies band. He did not get butter because he wouldn’t see it in his lineup of games.
Just a guess, but I’d think he had more than enough funds to get butter on his game, yet he chose not to due to how it was going to be displayed.

To be fair, you don’t HAVE TO get any of the add-on mods. People choose to, so be it.
Many people have complained that there is only one version of TNA this time around. Spooky could’ve just offered the exact same game as the first run, but everyone would’ve complained about the price increase from 2017. So Spooky decides to load up the game as a CE, and people still complain about the price.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Quoted from MacmanCubed:To be fair, you don’t HAVE TO get any of the add-on mods.
Wait…. I can play Rick and Morty (Standard) without any Funkos?!

Yes I have them on mine. for 4 years now. the controller can make the blink, mine on all the time, did not add the ghost kit.
