Little Stranger Eddie turned out nice. Drilled two holes through the base. Super glued the figure to it and used thin zip ties to connect the base to the original bracket. I don’t have a wide selection of 555 LED’s so I used an incandescent for the spotlight which I have tons of. Gave me the warm color I wanted.

Awesome.
Thanks for posting and also for taking great care of your customers.

Finally got time this weekend to color and install Virelands Anubis Figure kit.

One of the easiest mods to install.

Very cool.

So choice.

I will get to putting out instructions to uplight it on Premium/LEs one of these days. You have to basically double-stack the spotlights. The lower will be a spotlight and the upper will be the existing flasher.

So speaking of flipper alignment...does anyone think the lower flippers are too low? I'm sure thats what they had in mind when designing this game but, if you compare where they sit with other games, they sit lower. Would it be considered cheating if they were raised a tad?

Not sure if this would fix my issue but the ball seems to hop a little coming from the left return lane to the flipper, making the right ramp and right loop very inconsistent. Would raising up the flipper a bit help with that? If so I would do that in a heartbeat. Right flipper seems ok.

For some reason I watched the Stern 'Making of Iron Maiden Pinball' video again. This may have come up in here before, but I noticed (when they showed the game cad) it looks very much like the sarcophagus lock on the left, showing two balls locked in there!
I really hope that this is something that was always intended, but the code needed to catch up with the mechanism, so it released as a single ball lock initially.
Please please please make this happen Keith!!

I would love to see on the new code a "random letter ramp", when you put it on hard after the first mode you always shot right and left ramp to get letters, if they can put it on random, you need to shot all over the playfield go get letters... Is a simple update that would make all the diference.

Thats a pretty good idea. If you were to send that to Stern that is something that i bet they may consider.

Interesting. I wish the video wasn't so short; I have a feeling that 5 minutes doesn't allow for the 'Making of ANY Pin.'

How can we post this ideia for Stern can see or consider it? I this is a small change, but with massive results...

Has anyone made custom score cards for the premium machine? I would like a set in the orange tone if possible!! Thanks

What letters are you referring to?
Maybe I am having a senior moment but I can’t make sense of this idea.

He’s referring to the EDDIE letters you collect for modes; i.e. white arrows. When you start the game all shots are lit to get a letter. As you progress deeper into the game only the left and right ramps are lit for letters. The idea would be to give the option of instead of right/left Ramps that the shot toggled randomly amongst all shots and that’s the shot to get a letter.

It’s a great idea; but man, if it ever hit the mini loop, that would suck! Lol.

Yeah, I didnt know what he meant by collecting letters. I just assumed it was something I'm not good enough to have seen.

Edit. Oh ok.

For casual home play, the game could certainly use a bit more 'randomness'.

Rob

Which company made that one? Can you link the eBay ad?

Just went to battle with this guy....and he kicked my a**.

Ohhhh man.... Never ever got to that mode...
I only ever got mummy card one time...
Again... My sarcophagus newton ball needs to be fixed as it just makes mummy mb too hard...
And so... The one time I did get that card and got to 2 minutes 2 midnight I failed to get my trooper card... Which I generally get 60-70% of the time in my trooper mb...

Congrats.

I might need to move up my balls to 10 and give it a go!!!!

I’d love to see some new code with two new songs via a vote like they did with Metallica.

Anyone add a Pinball Life Shaker Motor to a PRO?

I just installed a shaker in my GOT Premium and it's ok.

Trying to see if it's worth it for the Iron Maiden Pro

I bought a Stern Shaker and I really like it. I have a coin taker in my MET Pre and hate it so it's disconnected. I should probably sell it...

I have a stern shaker in my maiden and I'm on my 2nd stern shaker in Metallica. (1st one was replaced) All 3 started squeaking after about 2 mo. of home use. Not bad but worth mentioning

maiden has some terrific shaker integration built into it.

Try Pinball Life ones? Never had an issue with them...

The funny thing is I voted and didn’t even have a Metallica. I pushed hard for Orion but lost in the end. What two Maiden songs would you ask for?

So many to choose from but for pinball I'd probably go with something like Iron Maiden and The Clairvoyant.

Revelations and Stranger in a Strange Land also great songs but don't seem as suited to pinball IMHO.

Honorable mention to Doctor Doctor although it's technically not a Maiden song it's such a part of their live shows it would be perfect for an attract mode.

It would be fun to start a poll for this.

Holy Smoke!
Bring your daughter to the slaughter!

I have the stern shaker, and it's eh...
could of done without it.

If you don't have one already, put the money in a subwoofer

The problem with that suggestion is that if the ramps aren't lit to light a letter, and instead the orbit is lit for a letter it could force you to start Trooper, or collect a Tomb Treasuer rather than lighting a letter progressing to starting a mode. It would actually limit your strategy choice.

The one change I would like to see in reference to the letters is that once you have played 2mtm the lighting of letters returns to the same state as at start of game- rather than just being ramps which can make the game a hell of a grind if you still need to collect Soul Shards from incomplete modes (I know Mystery Lv3 awards a SS after NotB - but only once).

I'd also prefer it if Cyborg MB didn't take precedence over everything else at the Pharaoh Shot, nothing more annoying than having NotB lit and having to play CB MB first.

A revolving shot would fix this issue. Something needs to be done about the issue. "I made it to the last two modes, so now I just shoot ramps until I die or succeed..."

I started a thread last year. Got a couple responses. Not that it’s gonna happen but, if it did, I doubt anything from their first two albums (Di’Anno singing) would be allowed and nothing newer than Fear of the Dark. I still like my choices of The Evil That Men Do and Stranger in a Strange Land. Powerslave has plenty of representation already.

That is exatly my point.... this game deserves more than that...

Pinball MIX can professionally edit in all your favorite Maiden songs ...

Which Maiden track in the video do you like the best???

Well you got “Number of the Beast” playing the B side “That Girl.” Interesting but what I want is an official release with the track title artwork. Like I said before, they don’t have to make any new modes. Just add two songs.

Well, unlock Run to the Hills and that becomes a permanent song choice in the game.

What? Please explain. Are there hidden songs?

Its always a choice. I havent made it there yet but its readily available. (I had to cheat at Metallica to unlock End of the Line permanently)

To be blunt. Are there hidden songs?

It's not hidden per-se, but it's not in your song rotation until you play the Run to the Hills super-wizard mode. After that, you can select it as a song from then on any time in the game.

What song? Run to the Hills is always selectable.

Haha, maybe it changed and I didn't notice. I have my favorite songs to play to and that's not one of them.

My NIB IMDN had run to the hills selectable on the first play. They maybe changed it in a code update.

Got 5 balls stuffed in the underworld last night during can I play with madness.

Yeah, it would be sweet to see a couple more songs officially added with the title artwork on Maiden. Or a live version of the whole thing. There are some good live recordings (like Rio).

The songs originally selected for Maiden are great. They did a good job picking many of the best. My service offers an option for the die-hard Maiden fans.

That's the beauty of Pinball MIX. If you don't like "That Girl" (and I don't blame you), you get to put whatever favorite Maiden songs you want in your machine. Oh, and Number of the beast is still in the machine on this MIX, it is reserved for the wizard mode.

Many of the people I have mixed for say that they love being able to easily switch between the original game music and their custom mixes. Especially for Spike as the switch is as easy as swapping SD cards. No long update times. Nearly plug and play. They say switching between original and custom keeps the game fresh for them.

In the demo video I posted above, what did you think of the Di'Anno stuff, and the live version of Fear of the Dark?

What super modes? The modes are very diverse from one another. Are you in the right thread...

Same here. Happened a month ago. I vowed not to take the glass off and let it try to unstick them itself. Patience paid off. After 3 minutes of ball searches, it managed to move them enough to kick them all out.
