I have ample evidence this pinball disease grows to a full on plague at 40!
Congrats!

Time to update avatar for IMDN.

Contacted Stern and received this photo back..

It’s like pissin’ in the wind waiting on the premium or pro.

Get on with that reveal already! Sheeeatt!

Joining the pro bros club! 2-3 wks.
Thanks to several of you for all the input over the last month!

#1114 5 years ago

No Maiden yet, figure I would use this opportunity to order a pack of IMDN brew for unboxing.

For those interested-
Brewery Notes:
TROOPER is a Premium British Beer inspired by Iron Maiden and handcrafted at Robinsons brewery. Malt flavors and citric notes from a unique blend of Bobec, Goldings and Cascade hops dominate this deep golden ale with a subtle hint of lemon.

#1142 5 years ago
Quoted from MikeS:

Was just listening to Head2Head podcast where they interviewed KME and Keith mentioned that the LE/Premium had an exclusive mode "Can I play with Madness" which is the 3rd tomb award. He said they pulled it from the Pro because it relies heavily on the lift ramp/scoop which made it not work well on the Pro. Just wondering for those that have played it how the mode is and how it fits into the overall rules? Is it stackable with other modes/multiballs and does it change overall scoring much? Can you earn Soul Shards, etc. I think this is the first time since Tron LE where the Pro model is actually missing a game mode. Kind of bummed to hear this mode won't be coming to my Pro since it was on the original Stern "Backstage Pass" rule guide and it seems to be the one song that isn't represented in the Pro ruleset. I'll trust Keith though and think that it's probably for the best that they pulled it if it didn't work well with the layout. Still love my game and think it's incredible!

Thanks, I’ll have to give this a listen later. Toy features or art is one thing, but any potential mode omission has my attention.

June is here, anyone out west get a call from dist for delivery of pros or their premiums yet?

#1276 5 years ago

Hey Strummy, Pinbot does look great!
Now open up his new neighbor...

#1291 5 years ago

Potential delivery with 1.0 code?
Where’s my Maiden mix tape?!

Pav seems intent to up the irons. Nice!
Out of box, All good so far?

#1394 5 years ago

Nice look! Cant wait to see what some of the pro owners come up with as well!

Yeti confirmed working on custom blades for pro/premium from Stern.

#1415 5 years ago

Just a heads up for those considering side blades, ZY mentioned on a recent podcast he is making them, just not released yet.
May be worth holding off a bit to see them.

#1441 5 years ago
Quoted from TheCount:

My Pro just left the factory yesterday, 6-20, I wonder if will have this 1.01 code?

Mine still had .98, finally arrived today!
MAY ”O” 29 - Can I play with Madness?!
Oh yeah!

Quoted from ChipScott:

Wow!! Ok, my Wife, Son and I just had the chance to play the IMN premium earlier today at a new venue near our town, and holy shit...it was a Family consensus, this game is 100% badass!! Yeah, it's only a matter of time till one of these badboys makes it into our home...the internet streams are great, but there's nothing like the feeling of playing this game along with the music...awesome experience.

Get in while the “Irons” hot! Kid and Wife approved...

No matter what Maiden you chose, none have a center smash button.
Dont miss one, ordered these instead.

Initially had a pro, sold, coming back for a premium. The pf issues were not yet an issue but haven’t kept up if it has impacted IMDN at all.
Am I good buying a huo local or newer?
Any help appreciated - pm fine.
Thanks all.

Quoted from ricard2798:

then we tried maiden, and first thing my son says is... damn, this is too brutal.. too hard!... but we gave it a second run, and he then said... im liking the challenge... im liking this more than deadpool. I agreed, it felt lije things were not just poping by accident, but as a result of hard work... very rewarding!

Great pick and your son is spot on.
Nice to see more people playing before paying and looking past theme alone to gameplay.
You both will be rewarded meeting the challenge in a home environment.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

I heard no, but maybe someone else knows for sure.

Yes in later spring/summer according to dist.

#8528 3 years ago

Agree one of Sterns best. Go for it.
Circumstances led to letting go of mine too soon but plans are underway to remedy that.

#8536 3 years ago
Quoted from atrainn:

I have a deposit down for my dad and am super excited because it should line up approximately with his birthday.

Best - son - ever.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

What’s with the super high prices on IMDN premium these days? Bunch of listings between $8k-$9k. Did Stern retire it?

Typical listings these days for those not willing to wait for next run. No thanks paying over retail.

#8630 3 years ago

Distributor confirmed license has been renewed and waiting in conga line through Stern backup/part delays.

#8760 2 years ago
Quoted from TinyBlackDog:

So many complain about the theme - but few complain about the layout or rules. If you like the band this is a no brainer. Best Stern since LOTR.

Top Stern for sure. People seem to like Avengers layout and rules as well. Appreciate your perspective as you own both titles.

Quoted from mbrave77:

buddy of mine called me to let me know his NIB Iron Maiden Premium is being delivered next week. I have one on order as well from elsewhere so he was just giving me a heads up.

appreciate this news as I’ve heard some are trickling out over next month.
Been waiting to get back in this club.

#9152 2 years ago

Nice. Hope you get one first as I was a dumb ass and now want back in.
Maiden is still turning out great tunes and the game is a gem.

#9319 2 years ago

Yep, most definitely keeping my premium on order with no QR code pricing pump.

#9358 2 years ago

Curious if new owners pro/premium can verify if Stern factory installed the metal orbit guard protecting the back lane from target ball drops?

#9369 2 years ago
Quoted from Greaseman:

Received my premium NIB 1 week ago. See pic. Looks like this is a yes - a metal guard is on the back lane orbit, underneath the target. I'm assuming this is what you are referring to.
[quoted image]

Sweet! Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for - thank you sir!

#9429 2 years ago

New Sterns with clear coat typically need very little out of box. Check connections and balls, brief wipe, maybe mylar shooter lane/ turn trough eject down in settings as you set to free play.
Enjoy the game.
Everything else after that is a personal preference.

#9494 2 years ago
Quoted from FLASHBALL:

Can someone tell me which shooter rod spring came from the factory? The one on mine is getting worn out.

orange on premium

#9568 2 years ago
Quoted from BubbaPin:

Question. I started putting on new rubbers yesterday and I came across these black plastic washer/spacers. One on each of the slings for the top post. But I can't remember what order they go on the post and I might need a part number, I lost one.

Took a pic with spacer that may help. If it’s a rubber washer your size chart is on page 34 of the pro manual. Attached.

Fwiw - and in the spirit of troubleshooting support for any first time NIB/owners out there - a reminder to get familiar with your game manual. Admittedly Sterns manuals arnt the best unlike b/w days, but still worth a glance and keeping handy for quick reference vs in a goodie bag.
Just like the cardboard box it came in, no one cares if it’s stamped or not when you go to sell.
Enjoy the journey and game!

Quoted from Chet_Hardbody:

I was playing and this piece flew off of the playfield from somewhere. I can't for the life of me find where it came off of. Any ideas where this piece goes?
[quoted image]

Left side - screw may be nearby- or in cabinet.

#9631 2 years ago
Quoted from Chet_Hardbody:

hmm, unless I'm missing something I don't think it's that one, as mine looks very similar to yours. This piece that came off looks very similar but came off with a nut instead of a screw. maybe I'm blind though lmao

Whoops - forgot you mentioned “flying off” - must have been the one under clairvoyant

I have JP and IMDN. Gradually progressing in JP but it can be more tiring journey (for me) than the immediate replay-ability of IMDN.
Both are not easy - and excellent for that reason.

Has anyone installed Pin monks Anubis figure on a premium? Head keeps sticking in the space between the cabinet and back panel when the gate rises.
Before I revert to stock plastic would appreciate any direction on an adjustment/fix.

Quoted from wtatumjr:

I can't backhand right flipper and make right ramp except for half way. Is this normal or should I adjust something?

If that right flipper feels weak v left first check the coil stops.
Had similar issue.

#10625 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

What was the month of yours? August? Was there more than one Iron Maiden build in 2021?

FYI mine was shipped late April for my fall build premium and it didn’t work. His forehead would get stuck/ lodged in the gap. Shot you pm.

#10677 2 years ago
Quoted from darkryder:

I bought your 3D Anubis mod for my Maiden LE long ago and it still sits in its box as I don’t have the patience or skills to paint the thing.
Is there anyone in here with good artistic skills who I can ship it to to be properly painted and/airbrushed? I’ll pay for your time, of course. I’ve seen some done really well and would love to install this part on my LE.

Yours will look and should fit fine as well.
Any issue with mod is only with recent built premiums.

#10727 2 years ago
Quoted from Biju:

Yes. If it were Black Sabbath I'd probably shut up and learn to play it better instead of avoid it.

Some loaded it with AC/DC, probably could sub some Sabbath too.
I wouldn’t mind having Iron Man back next to Maiden any day of the week. Great pin.

#10767 2 years ago
Quoted from OCP2:

Once the ball hits the slings it’s game over to the left outlane.

Just short plunge over to that left outlane.
Super secret Skills shot!!

#10808 2 years ago

Time to finally crack this one open and play IMDN.
Cheers to club and the weekend!

Good write up.
I’m not a huge mod guy but agree the pinmonk lens tree has been a good pick up.

#11155 2 years ago
Quoted from gandamack:

If I had choice between a Maiden Prem or a Godzilla Prem (both nib) which would you get?

Real tough, Godzilla has a ton going on but I’m not there - just yet.
Recently gravitated to more straightforward games so a GZ or AIQ hold less appeal at the moment.
I’m in the minority, but Maiden is still all around lights out.

#11171 2 years ago

Anyone use pinwoofer kit for IMDN?
Looking to upgrade sound - have used flipper fidelity in past too, could use some ideas. Thx!

#13202 10 months ago
Quoted from BrokenChair:

The reason I’m asking about difficulty is because avengers is way too hard for me ; and the family ;
I even think Godzilla is hard ;
I don’t want to make the mistake

Not sure how you define hard but as a shooter this game is not as forgiving as those two.
Like any pin you can always make adjustments.

#13208 10 months ago
Quoted from Apollo18:

FF is not easy. Don’t let the Saturday morning cartoon theme fool you. It’s a Blast to play.
Awesome. But just about as challenging as IMDN

Agree with you on Maiden!
Foo is blast but find it incredibly forgiving as a shooter.

#13228 10 months ago

Congratulations! Simply put IMDN is still more addicting and better than most games made over last few years. This game makes you a better player. Some just can’t get over the band theme - too bad.

#13267 10 months ago
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:

Stern’s Factory Friday shows IMDN Premiums.
