Williams, 1973Quoted from PinMonk:DEFINITELY order the Lovegun lighting mod right away. It's one of the best "improvement" mods of any pin out there. Really makes the Lovegun mode start with the levitating ball special.
100% agree! Lots of great mods for this machine to keep you busy until a new code drop. Have fun!

Like these:
Quoted from Rhlufa:Sparky were did you get your Ace figure?
I got it on ebay! But I only paid $17 + shipping. This was the only one I could find currently.
"I'm trying to figure out which big insert does nothing? Ps TWD Horde insert doesn't quite work either so don't buy that game..."
The inserts circled in blue are two of the ones (along with 2 other corresponding inserts) that appear to nothing other than flash in attract mode.

They don't do anything in the game that's goal related, but they ARE used in-game as part of the lightshow when you make objectives and the lights cascade up and down the PF.

Do they not have something to do with completing the band character personas at the bottom of the grid? If not yet I'm pretty sure that's their intended function.
Quoted from ahdelarge:COLORDMD coming this year for KISS?
PLEASE!!!

Who carries the lovegun light mod?
Quoted from Pinfactory2000:Who carries the lovegun light mod?
Quoted from konjurer:Congrats! I'm jealous. I just have a lowly KISS Pro. You're gonna love it.
Thank you but, absolutely nothing to be jealous about! A lot had to align for me to pull this off!
Quoted from shock_me:Do they not have something to do with completing the band character personas at the bottom of the grid? If not yet I'm pretty sure that's their intended function.
They SHOULD, but they don't do anything except participate in the lightshow occasionally now.

Supposedly the concert footage makes the conversion difficult. They need the source video. Dunno if they have it.
Quoted from thundergod76:KISS Color DMD would be awesome but I just don't see it happening.
I agree. I'd buy it immediately, but I think the concert footage is going to be a problem. Also, they may be waiting for the next (final) firmware update to drop so they don't have to re-do stuff.
Quoted from PinMonk:I agree. I'd buy it immediately, but I think the concert footage is going to be a problem.
ColorDMD always finds a way! They colored some concert footage on AC/DC (like Angus mooning in the match sequence) before they got their whole "live action dots" thing down with Iron Man, Spider-Man, Avatar, and Tron.

Yeah, they can do digitized, but they need the source video like they had with Iron Man, Spiderman, etc. The problem with KISS is they don't know where that exact footage is or came from. At least that's as I understand it.

It's really hard to color live action footage without reference - but as far as I know, AC/DC was done by hand and without reference.

Well, if there's a way to do it without the source, I'm all for it. KISS would be awesome in color.

It's like colorizing an old black and white movie. It's time consuming and perhaps not totally accurate...but it works!
Quoted from Rarehero:ColorDMD always finds a way!
Yep! they always do 
I have no worries here it will happen someday!
Quoted from Tempest:Cannot put in words just how wicked this thing is!!!!!
Congrats! If you haven't already be SURE to get the KISS Lovegun lighting mod. The best mod for the machine, easily.

Moving head lighting is the ultimate mod!

Looks awesome! Just curious where do you have this placed? It looks like an empty walk-in closet or bathroom stall?

Haha! If it wasn't for the electrical conduit, I was going to guess the world's most awesome prison cell.

Quoted from Trekkie1978:Get the cliffy for the scoop.
Unless cliffy updated this protector, I would not recommend it. It makes the scoop shot far more difficult to make.

Quoted from Rob_G:Unless cliffy updated this protector, I would not recommend it. It makes the scoop shot far more difficult to make.
Rob
I agree. It's literally the only time I tell people NOT to use a cliffy. That hole is so tight, and bounce outs so common as-is, adding a cliffy makes it super frustrating. Try some mylar or nail polish if you want to beef up the protection there.
Quoted from Rob_G:Unless cliffy updated this protector, I would not recommend it. It makes the scoop shot far more difficult to make.
Rob
He updated it. Works perfectly.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:He updated it. Works perfectly.
Yes it's more angled to the slope of the playfield.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:He updated it. Works perfectly.
Yep... the original made the shot impossible. Pinball Life sells the updated version.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Anyone thinking of purchasing a NIB Stern in 2017 should read this thread first.
Fixed it.

It's going to be the same old song and dance.
you see many ruffled feathers on the bm66 code thread. Gomez promised code would be updated every 2 weeks. this aint happening.
stern wont change till they see their sales drop. its all up to YOU! don't buy nib, if you are not happy with the code situation.
I am not confident another kiss code will be released. if it happens great, if not, I will just move forward.
Well I think we are coming close to 1year since the last update for Kiss. All we have heard is its coming stay tuned! I think it's fair to call out Stern and see when it may be coming.
Stern or should I say Gomez really put his foot in his mouth saying BM66 would be updated every 2 weeks. I think people took it as a promise and think he meant it more as a goal but they are getting updates.
#WHERE's THE KISS CODE 2017!!!
If we quit asking it might never happen

You cant ask anymore. Emails/messages go unanswered and asking it on FB gets you banned. I'm not 'hopeful' that BM66 has code release issues but if they do, I gotta believe this will be a bad thing for stern. Ask people to ante up $10K+ for a pin and then not deliver code...Yikes...
People still ask for KISS code on Facebook without getting banned...you just can't be a dick about it. I suggest people keep the pressure on. When there is a code update or announcement about another product then make a post saying "Heh, that's awesome Stern. Looking forward to the KISS code update as well! When is it coming?"
I would also quit being a dick to Lonnie on here as well. I'm sure he and the other coders read pinside. I wouldn't want to finish the code when reading the little digs and insults that are hurled at the Stern coders not named Lyman, who probably have little influence on the coding priorities.

It's really hard not to pile on Lonnie when you look at how he left Star Trek and what's currently going on with KISS.
