Hey all,
I'm purchasing my first pinball and am waiting for delivery of a Monster Premium NIB!
Just looking for more learned opinions from Metallica fans or owners on what are the must have mods to really bring the machine alive and even which ones don't add anything to the experience .
Thanks ahead of time for the feedback
I was strongly considering the side art and uv light package. It looked insane in videos I watched. The shaker and upgraded speakers are a done deal for me considering it's a music pin. A sparky air ball protection makes sense too
Quoted from centerflank:When I ordered my art/flasher kit from refinery I added the scoop and hammer flasher mod as well to my shopping cart since they are pretty inexpensive...... I like the hammer flasher but the scoop flasher is just ok
I figured they are so inexpensive , I would add those as well, like you
Quoted from Butch2099:Cliffy's are a must, shaker right behind it. I also added pinbits protector set, mirror blades, replace the block behind the hammer with a newton ball, snake fangs, under cab lighting, DMD reflector and a snake tongue decal.
I'm avoiding color DMD, I'm afraid it might spread to my other machines..
The color DMD is the most expensive of the mods. But I will have just this one...for now!
seems I need to protect everything on a brand new machine.
Quoted from Join_The_Cirqus:Cant believe how these have more then doubled in Price..
Wonder how many us pinsiders have purchased all together? LolCan anyone give an opinion on whether the External sub is better than say, a pinball pro upgrade to all the speakers?
Much appreciated feedback. External sub it is !!! I have one but I'll buy a cheaper one just for the pinball.
Quoted from centerflank:No Packer game today
I know the feeling. My Giants exacted a little revenge on the Cowgirls today!
Quoted from centerflank:That was an interesting game, Cassel had 3 picks in 5 passing attempts? That was crazy awesome!
Anytime we beat them, it's crazy awesome 
I'm sold on the speaker lighting, I love it.
What about the Cointaker backbox kit for the premium?
It's pricey and is eating into the budget for the color dmd. But if it's worth it, I'd install it.
Quoted from Concretehardt:I also like custom armor, green plastic protectors, coin taker customer back box lighting panel, hammer light mod, graveyard light mod, lit flipper buttons, lit amp mod, sparky helmet mod ect ect
I love them all too!! I feel like Veruca Salt , lol
Where did you get the Hammer? From reading the site, they seemed to be just sold on a limited basis?
looks great !!!
Quoted from Elevatorman:Thanks for this thread.I'm getting ready to start modding my Met.
I was hoping it would help more than just me.
Quoted from yzfguy:If the sparky airball protector is the one cut out around his legs and suspended over his feet, it comes stock on the new run premium.
I got lucky and was able to snag a hammer he original buyer didn't want
That would be nice if the new run had it preinstalled! You had good fortune with the hammer. I really like it
I have to say that since the game arrived, I am loving it!! I have a host of mods that I am getting assistance installing since it's my first machine. I did get a faulty colordmd right out of the box, bummer! It blew three fuses the moment we turned on the power.
As far as comboing off the block, I seem to have no problem getting it the snake mouth or occasionally the left ramp. Maybe it's a regular thing with the actual captive ball?
