I ordered IM . Played it last week and really liked the machine. Had a few doubts about the software and yes the right ramp issue (A little wax will fix that I think). Besides the downfalls the pros were enough for me to order a NIB. I have been collecting for a while now and I want to get one before you cannot order a NIB. I think its great title that will be collectable for a long time. Open invite to all pinheads to come and try it out once I get it (pictures to follow). If you cannot wait, Jay will have one set up at the Calgary Comic Expo this weekend.

Plays nice and fast. Waxed her up and the ramps. Next will be the gold kit(rails legs lock bar).
Although, unless Stern goes belly up, it shouldn't be too hard to find a NIB for the next year or so.

From a local pinball business. I don't think he is a authorized STERN distributor but can get them from Starburst (www.richardsonpinball.com/) for around the same price. He is also throwing in a shaker motor. I like to buy local just incase something is wrong with the unit.

Yea that's cool, just curious if you went to the US or bought from Starburst or local or whatever.
Nothing like buying local. I have found, no matter what hobby it is, that I would rather pay the couple extra bucks and help out the local merchant. I tend to receive much better support from these people and they are much more inclined to make you want to come back as a return buyer as opposed to a large corporation would couldn't care less who you are.

Just checked on RGP and apparently that is the new shaker motor prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yes my shaker motor will arrive next week. Same time as my Gold kit. Also I will be putting in a real knocker. thinking about LEDs. Quite a few adjustments I had to make on this machine.
1)PF support on the front was bent I had to fix that. 2)Adjusted the War Monger it wasn't even close to being aligned to the PF 3)Lockdown bar was way loose
Waxed the ramps and 95% of shots make it so I don't think there is an issue there.
It'd be a lot cooler if you did........ MAACA-Colonel

Just curious. What do you get with the Gold Kit? Legs, bolts, and lock down bar....? Head hinge too?

All my mods are completed. I installed the knocker, shaker motor, led kit and gold kit. I also added a mark 6 with led, so when you get mark 6 it blinks.
Wow! Looks great!! Very nice! Drool... Wanna sell it!!

Cointaker had an IM on the floor at the show and the area of the clouds lit up in different colors. Apparently they make a board and some form of kit to achieve the effect.
Edit I just checked the price. It was cool but not $189 cool IMHO.

IM looks so good with LED's... if I can recommend one more mod, throw a sub woofer in there. The IM at the Toronto show had one in it, it sounded amazing

Just played 3 games on IM at Starburst in around 5 minutes. This machine is fast and can be very humbling. Controlling the ball is super vital.
I can see people needing this one in their home so that in the wee hours of the night, after a few beers and no distraction, you can finally have your way with her. Kinda like my wife before we had a family.
I think you should complete this mod with the IM topper and one of those fancy schmancy IM head shooter rods.
Yes I was thinking about these. Who doesn't like to be on top and get head. Opps did that slip out . I have the clear red shooter for now (looks better then black).
A question to Machine. How hard would it be to do IM hand with a blinking led as a shooter?

Lance, check your PM's regarding the head shooter
As for hand shooters... it's a very difficult sculpt, I'm not so sure I'd have the time. That and the lack of sales on the other hand shooter I made has me a little discouraged. That being said, I will be making another IM shooter, somewhat simpler -- a standard shooter knob with an arc reactor on the front of it. Should look cool, and should please the purists (ie. it'll feel like a normal shooter).

Continuing the hijack... Please tell us more about your SM shooter rod!

There'll be two. One will be a Spiderman head (I like the "head" styles myself because they're like ball plungers), and one will be more of a standard shooter knob with the SM crest logo on it for the purists.
(for the record, it's very difficult to talk about shooter rods without it sounding dirty..)

I use these on my pins. Love them. Absolutely no glare no matter where you stand. It goes between the DMD and the speaker panel so you don't see it. It is basically a tinted and polarized film. Darkens the DMD a little but I don't mind that at all.
