Ive done this more than once. Even tried locktite. It always goes back tonthe left. I want to order a bracket but shipping to Canada was like $40 for 1 little bracket

Looking for advice I really don’t want to throw any mods in my prem looks n plays fantastic as is .I purchased from guy who installed shaker,knocker,PG side art,some insert color on mode tree and 2 spotlights on slings facing center PF.The only thing I’m looking at is if it’s worth the $ fir upgrade on glass and which one fits best with this machine ? Thanks for any input .

I have the Stern HD glass on my Pro and can't recommend it enough. I also have a shaker and the external volume/aux jack and the HD glass is definitely the best mod out of that group.

Thanks bud I think that’s what I’ll go with.By the way is there any kind of market for the stock glass to sell n recoup some $.Just wondering and what would the value be on that thanks again for the help!

keep the stock glass so you can put it back in when you sell and keep the HD for new game

minimal market value for stock glass

Does anyone have any idea when the new code is coming out?

No

Thanks makes sense.Im a newb bought first in April had latest code then this one also latest .Does the game change completely with a new code or is it just tweaking ?

We've been waiting for the rumored code update that was supposed to be out last mid-December, but maybe that was mid-December 2020...

This is the code history for this game. It gets updated with each update.
Read though it and it will give you an idea of the changes. Note, not all of the versions are released to the public.

To answer your question, no. Usually just tweaking. But there are exceptions.

But honestly at this point for this game, I really wouldn't expect much. The game is already complete and amazing.

That makes sense. Mine seems to have some later run stuff like the leg brackets.

Try to get Roman glass if you can find it. Similar price but better glare reduction, and the edges are machined.

The game still has pretty serious bugs.

I believe pinball decals has what is considered best by a Vary small amount,I have owned all of the glass out there,yes PDI Glass has very nice sanded edges but it is never in stock and shipping is 70.00 for one sheet,then I believe the glass is 300.00.

You can get a two pack of voodo glass from coin taker for 400.00 shipped,dam near as good no sanded edges,you decide!

I did not know they carried glass I’ve ordered from them before but again wasn’t looking .That deal sounds sweet as I’m on the hunt for #3 already .Man when I was told to be sure I want to get into this hobby that it will consume you I laughed it off thought I’d buy 1 to o play around with I purchased the 2nd 2 months after the first and I’m taking on side jobs to get my spot filled I thought 4 was max seems I can fit 5 and then maybe take over the dining room lmao!!!

Thanks I’m on this today ! I fing love pinball I havnt had something that interested me this much since I played in rock bands 20 years ago !!

Didn’t know there was this many thanks !!

Like there was any doubt

...and with this JP code landing, do we think Maiden will see a 1.07 soon?

Whelp, I sure hope so. Maybe they were waiting for the Maiden showdown win...

"Maiden won the showdown. Dont waste your time with a code update, its good enough"- Gary Stern (in my mind)

Last time I messaged KME several months ago I was told our code would hit as soon as JP got up to 1.0. At least that's what I thought he said. I gave up, maybe we get it, maybe we don't.

Having been told that in the monthly presser about GB getting code when SW got to 1.0 I don’t believe that at all. What did we get after SW 1.0? Munsters.

*I place zero blame on Dwight for the GB delay. Dwight made GB code amazing with the 1.16 update.

Nothing is 100% unless it has already happened. We'll probably get an update at some point, perhaps, but it is disappointing it is taking so long.

Anyone know if Keith is still trying to work "Can I Play with Madness" into the Pro? I had read that he was trying to figure a way to make it work.

That would be cool. Wish there were more roving targets like aces high has

Since you say to not expect it in the next month or so, that will be when i least expect it... Which is when the new code will drop... So next month confirmed?

I hope Mariner gets a super jackpot call out. I love hitting the aces high one, feels/sounds so freakin cool. Mariner is a harder super (IMO) and needs a special effect like Aces has.

Just got this in and the mods are going on nicely...

That looks great I’d imagine it’s bolted to the floor ? Great job !!

Do the ramp stickers slow the ball down ? I want them but my lil guy has a hard time getting it up top as it is don’t want to make it tougher on him .

Has anyone had a bug with Battle the Beast? I believe I got to stage two of the mode so had to hit the bullseye, I couldn't seem to catch a break with ball movement so it took a long time to get control. Eventually I hit the ball up the left ramp and as I was about to shoot for the bullseye as it returned to the left inlane it was like the mode finished - my flippers went dead, the ball drained, and I was done. It than went to player 2.
Lets just say frustration was high!
I also had nearly all Soul Shards, are these supposed to do something for Battle the Beast mode?

Soul Shards get you Tomb Treasures, which get you to Run to the Hills. It takes 10 Tomb Treasures, so 10 Shards. Never battled the Beast, so can't tell you if that was a bug or not.

If you defeat the Beast you collect the value of your Soul Shards again, they don't do anything in the actual battle.

Yes going to keep for some time

I am sure it has some effect. Just do not notice anything during game play.

Good cause they look great

I gotta be honest... I love the look and feel of metal ramps. Can't imagine covering them up. If they were just plastic, I'd slap stickers on there in a heartbeat.

I agree w you but this game with Egyptian theme they look great prolly only one I would do that on .

I forget, who sells these ramp decals? I'm tempted again to get some

Yeah I get that also, but it’s not a permanent change and since no effect on game play I have no issue with adding them as I do like that it adds to the theme.

Tilt graphics has them. Think the have two versions.

Got a bad notion of the biggest travesty of modern Stern-era: "Munsters", when seeing the ramps
Else, interesting apron!

Anyone start with a pro and move to premium? I love my pro but thinking about getting a NIB premium while I can. I beleive I will own a version of this indefinitely.

Love my pro. No desire to go premium. I dont like the egypt package and the extras hardly seem worth the extra money.

Yes. We started with a Pro on location, but upgraded to the Premium after about 9 months. The Premium plays quite a bit differently than the Pro because some shots are moved, but I like it a LOT more. The only downside is Eddie the Drum Major backglass.

I didn't realize this, what shots are moved?

Sorry dumb question. I thought you meant physical shot layout but I'm sure you meant things like tomb treasure

The main shot is the mummy shot. Instead of hitting the captive newton ball to the left of the ramp over and over, you qualify the mummy, the tomb opens at the top of the ramp, then you shoot the left ramp instead (which is harder than the super easy pro shot, imo).

There's also the shot where the ramp opens on the Premium, but you have to get Up the ramp on the Pro, so weak shots will go in on the Prem, but will come back on the Pro.

And then you have the ball on a post instead of a target on the lower left. It's much easier to accidentally hit this on a Prem and collect something you don't want to collect yet. Pro pretty much requires intent to collect.

And finally the Prem/LE has the Can I Play with Madness mode the Pro just doesn't have at all.

(which is harder than the super easy Premium shot, imo)

(amazingly better on the pro, building up silly values is a fun strat)
