Quoted from Vai113:

Ok so I got a chance to play a brand new Iron Maiden pro at my distributors and had a really fun time playing it ! I think I will enjoy it way more than AIQ and also way less maintenance; love that fact there isn’t a lot of rubber…
So Im thinking of either buying iron maiden or trading AIQ for it …. Played it for 1.5 hours straight; it played great right out of the box. I was actually able to hit the left ramp a few times;
Spinner position on the left reminds me of Godzilla spinner in similar position it will be next to GZ I would only have Iron Maiden and GZ at home as my other pins are on location is this a good combo together ?
Are they enough different to be fun to switch back between GZ and IMDN?
Are there mods to make a pro a promium? What would those mods be?
Thanks guys looks like there is a great chance to get it !

I dont feel like they play the same at all,what a great pair of Machines.

Has anyone heard if this is the last run of Iron Maiden that is currently being built or about to be built?

Quoted from Mr_H:

They usually do a “last call” before discontinuing, which they haven’t done, so I’d bet there is at least 1 more run.

a lot of people have heard that. I've seen 1 distributor do an email blast saying it, but then again they have Pros they are trying to get rid of.

IMDN was briefly moved to "archive" last year and came back.

I say it's 50/50. They don't always tell us these days.

#13255 3 months ago

Hi guys! How are you doing?

Just found a lost set of a very limited edition of 8 total pieces of Anubis + Torches that we produced some years ago, when IM was released!

It is handcrafted (high resistance resin) and hand painted, with professional clear coat.

I will include a set of the sarcophagus flippers sculpts as a gift!

$299 + shipping (from CT/USA) for everything. Zelle or wire transfer only.

Thanks!

Looks like your kids painted them.

Quoted from tomdotcom:

I wish!! So they would have a great gift lol

These are from one of the greatest Brazilian sculptors, that happens to love pinball and accepted a partnership with Pinball Mods Brasil to produce some mods. These below are some other pieces that he made for us.

You guys can also shop them at www.Lermods.com

About the IM mods, maybe you dont like the painting style, which was made to match the theme, and that´s ok. I respect that.

Have a great day!

Nice, was that the $2500 one listed in the marketplace? I’m glad I grabbed one when they were announced even those it doesn’t do anything. Would have been cool if Eddie rotated left and right in the cockpit and there was a spinning prop at the front or something. Anyway, it’s a sweet topper!

#13269 3 months ago
Quoted from Ceemunkey:

I know not everyone is a fan of what i've done - but I really wanted to go full-on Powerslave on my machine (sorry, but I just love the whole mummy + Egyptian theme). To that end, I've installed Tiltoppers premium topper, Lior's apron and backboard, the heiroglyphic art blades and flipper toppers, the wizard mods speaker panel + coin door, the right ramp archway and the stairway ramp decals.
I've just acquired some side rails, and I really wanted to finish this machine off with a nice theme-appropriate powdercoat. Just wanted to see if anyone had done some sort of brass or Egyptian Gold powdercoat on a premium and how it turned out?
[quoted image][quoted image]

Where’s Gus?

Oxytec do an antique copper as well as a normal gold.

Don’t worry I have a limited that a lot of people don’t like cos of the rails. Apparently the previous owner sold the red LE rails and legs….

Personally I like the chrome. I did take off the Wizmods speaker panel and apron. My only LE I wanted to see the damn signature.

No no no - I didn’t not buy that one here at $2,500. That one is still available. I Paid far less than that. It’s not fact just yet that stern is going to do an another run soon so I grabbed one while I could.

Added a tiny led to the clairvoyant’s orb and wired it to the bulb below so it flashes and lights with the original orb light. Pretty cool. Wish I could attach a video to show the full effect.

#13283 3 months ago

I’m not going to pass on a opportunity to pull out my d%#$ I have a few questions for everyone .I’ve been trying to get in touch with the modder that was working on this awesome Zeppelin topper . I want to make (or pay to have made for me ) 3 smaller versions of these explosions to have mounted around the Spitfire and Zero on the right return ,hopefully out of harms way somewhere .I want to get some time on this tomorrow so does anyone have some ideas ? I’m guessing some hospital cotton (the thick stuff ) balled up with the lights mounted inside . Actually now I’m thinking about a ball with a long trail going down the side wall out of the Zeros tail . Anyway ,was thinking of using spray foam insulation lightly around the outside , then lightly spray painting in (waiting on my air brush kit ) some flat black /charcoal coloring with yellow/orange/red RGB lighting flickering inside .I’ve been reading up a lot and have a couple guys to go to for the electric side of this project .If anyone else has any ideas please DM me .Next , does anyone know if the plastic spoon that the captive ball stem sits on underneath the playfield that triggers the switch is the same part used for Pop Bumpers ? Mine both need replacing and was not clear in the manual on a part number .Any help much appreciated . Lastly ,after we’ve had 12 pins now (4 still here ) this is still the only pin I can 100% say will never leave .It’s just that damn good and never gets neglected no matter what comes on the door Up The Irons !!

If IMDN Premiums were seen on the line on Friday, how quickly do you imagine they will arrive at distributors?
How quickly did the JP2 Premiums seen on the line last Friday ship out from distributors?
Will buyers of Premiums from this run be getting shipping alerts this coming week or will they have to wait until the following week? What is the typical timing?

#13285 3 months ago

probably within a week to distros

#13286 3 months ago

Anyone have some

So if it's the first day they go from stern line into a box, goes on a truck, if it goes to someone that has a local warehouse, could ship to customer the next day. Someone like flip n out is 1-2 days away, California 4-5 days away. This is what I was asking a few posts ago .. how do they determine what dist gets pins first?? Someone pointed out that the pins didn't have US coin doors so they probably haven't started the US pins yet.

“the pins didn't have US coin doors so they probably haven't started the US pins yet.”

Good deal - I have one or I'd snag one of yours!

Do you have any other different ones?

#13290 3 months ago

I finally got my NIB Pro downstairs and damn this game is amazing!
Question: Are all Iron Maiden goodies bags this packed? I swear my other NIB goodies bags were pretty anemic compared to this one.

So it looks like I’m going to trade my used avengers premium for a NIB Iron Maiden pro; I know this trade isn’t exactly ideal but I really want IMDN and sick to death of avengers it’s a great game just too high maintenance and too many things make that game not fun for family ;

I’m hoping I’m not making a mistake picking up an iron maiden pro it’s NiB from the may build so I assume it should be fairly polished game…

I play tested a pro at my distributor I could not hit the tiny flipper loop once in an hour of play lol; does the flipper power need to be raised?

So at home I’ll have Iron Maiden next to Godzilla hoping the pair make a nice match

Feedback appreciated

That mini-flipper loop is a bitch. I play all the time and it is hard ... I am going to install Precision Flippers with the 1/4" extra length and hope that might help a bit. It's just tight and the small flipper is harder to hit precisely. At least it is for me.

Yeah it's by far the hardest shot on the game for me. Hitting the standup isn't so bad, but getting the loop shot is really difficult.

#13294 3 months ago

Ohhh ok I thought it was the hardest shot on the game guess I was right ;

I ended up hitting it once in 1 hour of playing play

Couldn’t really do much with the mini flipper tbh

#13295 3 months ago

Both loops in this game are difficult but super satisfying to hit. The big loop is obviously easier but the better you hit it the faster the ball comes back so it's hard to keep doing over and over.

For me the only shot that is more satisfying than nailing the loops consecutively would be hitting both spinners during Fear of the Dark mode. Now that feels great to pull off.

I love the ramp thru the pops - that's a brilliant design.

Why not put up an ad for it and get someone to come pick it up at your house and give you 8k for it. At least 7.5... great timing too, before it hits the line

#13299 3 months ago

I’m thinking about getting a NIB premium. Does stern install a factory playfield protector below the sarcophagus target? I know the early runs experienced a lot of dimpling with the ball dropping at this location.

Or should I just order the Cliffy carbon fiber protector?

Did you already find a nib premium? They were sparse a couple of months ago, took me 5 dealers to find one.. you could probably find one but I think it'll be some hunting
