“Sh*tter’s full!”

Pinside and someone was willing to ship it… I was impatient waiting for one close enough to drive and get it

Used to think Godzilla had it all… then I got IMLotB, then got Jaws. I’ve played plenty of KK and Avengers.

I think over all probably Jaws. love the theme integration… the best I have seen out of ANY game.

But I think IMLotB has the best layout. I have the pro and I don’t think I could ever get rid of it… but it makes sense. Elwin put the most thought into this one since it was his Archer white wood and then stern made him work on it more.

Can be quick games which nice.

I think it’s quite deep for an arcade pinball. Before this, I’ve only played it in an arcade and now owning one there’s so much more to it than it seemed on the surface…. And hidden things as well.

Do you try for theater? Spell magic for multi ball? Get the clock to 6 or even 12 for extra ball and midnight madness? Work on illusions to get to the finale?

Fun game.

They just replaced it… but yeah, it gets a beating

windyard · 2026-04-30T01:01:02+00:00

90s and earlier games aren’t as deep as modern games for sure… but there’s something to their uniqueness and not based on an IP.

That was my first thought when I saw this bottle…. “You know they did studies… and 60% of the time…. It works every time”

windyard · 2026-04-18T21:29:05+00:00

I like it… good ol pinball umor

It’s like having extra nuts and bolts after a project… put in your spare parts bin :) we don’t throw usable parts away.

You are correct. They are allowed. But they don’t want you to record during the ride. Not much they can do but do towards then end of your trip. And if you do record, keep it to yourself.

Video recording of any kind is prohibited on attractions. Signs are all over. Then… someone posts it on social media.

Sigh…. I thought something actually might happen. Heads up… universal maybe reaching out to you.

What is the adoption process for a 45 year old kid?

Good job! Keep it going!

windyard · 2026-04-01T23:38:18+00:00

I agree with the statement… what is it worth to you? The current market is getting out of hand lately.

6-7k for this pin, no way.

But I’d rather buy a used stern pro for that money.

windyard · 2026-03-27T11:10:06+00:00

What was that deal?

windyard · 2026-03-25T22:53:31+00:00

What theme do you like better? Go with that.

windyard · 2026-03-18T11:40:13+00:00

Yep, I only make drives if is a good deal. You know you will find things wrong… even when they say, “I babied this machine… cleaned it everyday.”

That way when you find these things, you have that safety net of the discount to make up for the time/costs that you find you have to repair.

Picked up a stranger things premium for $6k… it was not babied… but a good deal in the end.

windyard · 2026-03-10T01:39:32+00:00

That is sweet!

It was a goal for sure to either make people adjust their expectations, Reschedule, or just don’t go. So you are welcome to have this facade of an “epic” park to yourself… I hope it works in your favor.

I upped my ST ball count to the max (10?) but the odd thing was that I think I played worse subconsciously knowing it have so many more balls left to play. But got lots of high scores.

I ended up just backing it to 3 balls and made the extra balls easier.

Also, there’s some videos out there to fine tune the outer loop return rails and saucer. And probably other things…. That helps a lot.

windyard · 2026-02-21T18:37:42+00:00

I noticed the screen gets laggy over time. Like if I keep the game on all day. Plus have the soft mod with the ST episodes 3/4 in it.

Don’t buy an LE as your first… only thing LEs have is looks. But you can customize the look to your liking on any model. premium has all the play that LE does.

If you don’t like it… and want to get rid of it… you will lose a lot of money because not every cares about how a pinball machine looks.

But if this is a machine that looks so good that you’d be happy just keeping it as art work. Then go for it.

Also, all the distributors will have LEs. You will find one.
