Dude. That machine is unbelievably badass. Do you love playing pinball as much as you love collecting the machines? I really appreciate when adults are heavily invested in hobbies a lot of people wouldn't understand
My wife sticks to the MS Pac-Man multicade, but dad and I share our love of Demolition Man (w color dmd). Only other one currently is Cue Ball Wizard, though I’m looking to move it and find either Star Trek TNG or Iron Maiden LE, pref locally in Atlanta market.
@@wolverine3344 I have Demolition Man in my pinball bank of 16 pins. I bought it for $800 before the prices shot through the roof. ST TNG is a great game and I thought about and it became a choice 25 years between Twilight Zone for $1000 or ST TNG for $1000, I didn't have money to get both so i went for the Twilight Zone. Months later when I had the money it was gone, but I did pickup Indiana Jones for $1200.
Congratulations. Owing my pinball machine has been something I've always wanted and it's always nice to see how happy getting a pinball machine can make people
I miss the pinball machine we had as a kid, my dad turned the main room downstairs of the house into a cool hangout room. Pool table, neon bar signs, steel bar signs, a decent tv to watch sports and of course the awesome Lethal Weapon 3 pinball machine. Very fun pinball machine.
This is so COOL!! I love pinball, been playing since 1975 but thought that no one played or was interested in pinball anymore. Great playing field on this machine.
there was a brewery in pittsburgh I went to that had dozens of tables, and a bunch of people huddled around cheering other people on. i think those people were playing for money, or gambling because nobody gets that excited over someone elses quarter. either way. it was a fun time. and pinball was very much alive in that place.
Baby Boomers are probably biggest pin collectors. As they grew up with the EMs for a nickel a play. And really drove the collecting craze, plus we have the bucks. one reason why pins are so expensive.
I was hanging in a pinball arcade when I was 12 in 1969 listening to The Who’s Pinball Wizard on the radio. Still love playing pinball. I live in Las Vegas so I get to play at The Pinball HOF. Usually I play the games from the 1990’s, only $.50 a play.
Thing I enjoyed the most was his Goonies never say die T shirt. A few years ago I saw a guy wearing a Bad News Bears Chico's bail bonds jersey and almost lost it.
Why isn't the shaker motor added from the factory. I've played pinball for over 50 years. Great entertainment when I was growing up. I remember inventing multiball before there was multiball. Machines in the 1960s had a pop up ball feature that you could play as many balls at a time as you would like
Stern only adds the shaker motor standard on their LE models. Obviously they want to sell you accessories on top of your already expensive pinball machine for more revenue. Very similar to cars and their factory option accessories.
What a cool machine. Shows that for a lot of people, pinball is anything but dead. Stern is really making some cool pinball machines these days. If money was no object, there are several of theirs I would love to own. I'd love to own the limited edition "Halloween" machine that was released. I know I'm dating myself here, but the Terminator 2 machine, when it first came out, was probably the most fun I ever had on one of these. Would definitely find a nice original or one that's been refurbished. Great score on this! Of course you can get something like a pinball machine on Amazon!
The call from Amazon wasn't a fraud alert-it was to check you hadn't completely lost your mind, and possibly to check you weren't 12 years old and just pinched your Dad's credit card 😁. This is quite possibly the greatest use of gift cards ever 👍👍😁.
Zombie Yeti (the artist) has done some amazing work for Stern over the years. Ghostbusters, TMNT, Iron Maiden, Deadpool and Godzilla are some of the other awesome machines he did the artwork for.
Thats cool! We just had a client ask to engrave his QR code for him to use without having to take out his app. We had stern support test and confirm our engraving worked. I just didn't know consumer machines would come with that already. I assumed it was only if it was being used in a commercial setting.
@@therexershow that's what I thought I remembered, enjoy it! The premiums absolutely should come with a shaker at these prices, it's kind of silly only the LEs get that sort of thing from the factory. Especially at these NIB prices these days.
Man! That SouthPark machine behind you in the beginning brought back so many memories. My friend and I would also walk down to the cinema on the weekend just to play that pinball machine. Probably spent close to $1000 on it just in quarters lol
COOLTOY I've been in a nursing home for the past three years due to a spinal injury and use a wheelchair to get around. Pinball has always been my favorite arcade game. After watching your video, I realized that I've never seen a pinball machine that could be played by someone in a wheelchair. Would be nice to see a pinball machine that was low enough to be played by someone in a wheelchair or a simply a chair for someone with a disability that would not be able to stand long enough to enjoy a game of pinball.
There was actually a Space Jam pinball machine that was custom made for Christopher Reeves that allowed a wheelchair to slide under it and allow him to play while in his chair. There are some pictures of the machine floating around the net.
I knew as soon as you got your first pin, you had joined the dark side. :) Just an FYI in case you didn't know Pinball Life sells art blade protectors that you can put over the side blades that prevent scratching them when you lift the playfield. I got a set, love em.
@@cooltoy I’m kind of surprised a techie like yourself would say that, to each their own. As someone that’s been around pins since 1983, Stern makes the most low quality, overpriced, rushed machines the pinball world has ever known. I at least was getting them at a fair price, and own about 15 of them…they are all pretty crappy, fun crap….but still crap….a quick for instance….notice your SP doesn’t make fan noise, notice how loud the newer Sterns are…this is because they go as cheap as possible on the power supply, have been called out for years on such things, and know they can get away with anything and people will wait in line with every release they vomit out every 3 months so….I could go on, but no one likes a Debbie Downer….have fun…I dare say the longer your in the pinball game, you’ll start noticing how poorly made they really are.
We had a pinball machine at a theater I worked at back in the 90's. Can't remember what it was called but it had a robot woman on it, and she seemed to make some very suggestive moans. But I remember you could hit the ball and it had a robot head and it could land in the mouth and the head would rotate. Can't remember the name of it though. One of our employees ended up buying it from the company that supplied our arcade games.
When my local free play arcades are from $10-$15 a day or for some $20 for the month that's a lot of arcade action. You can do the math. How many visits can I get for the $7000-$15000 one plunks down on just one of these to have in their home? I've found that home arcades are cool for a bit, but mostly go the way of exercise equipment. You get bored very quickly. And they basically become something to show and wow people when they come over. An actual arcade keeps things fresh and alive and you don't have to keep these machines up, which BTW break quite often if they are actually getting used. Just my 2 cents. How many pinballs do our free arcades have you ask? Depends on which one you go to we have a number of them in town, but from 8-28 pinball machines both new and vintage. Plus all the other arcade cabinets. Just can't beat it.
I love this video! I see you keep your machines in the garage… I assume the machines hold up okay through the changing seasons? I live in the Southeast where it gets wicked humid in summers, so I was worried about keeping them in the garage… thanks!
COOLTOY, great video. I noticed you have live video from the Avenger movie (?) at 9:13. I have a AIQ Premium but have never seen this video. Is it displayed if you reach a certain score or how did you add it?
Congrats on Avengers infinity quest, definitely a top three pinball machine IMO. The flow on this machine is simply unmatched, combos everywhere with incredible sound and a sick light show. Mine is bolted to the floor.
Great looking mods. I recently lucked into a NIB Godzilla and was hesitant about installing art blades. This video changed my mind. I think your mods are tasteful without being tacky which can be tough to get right. Really nice job. 👍
U know this is a fantastic machine shows the real quality and colors and creativity the new machines have. It is really perfect. Yes, obviously old games r incredible the smells, the way it is extremely difficult sometimes to really get a high score so u work hard at perfecting different things to then get a chance to go further and double ur score. Regardless, this machine is a 10/10 in my book just beautiful
And did you watch that video about that you quote unquote SHOULDN'T buy a spike 2 pinball machine? Ur probably not gonna trust that guy but whatever. idc If anyone has a spike 2 pinball machine. I'm totally fine with them
May be a weird thing to admit, but I have never played a real pinball machine in my life. I have played table-top ones and PC ones, but never a full sized one. I was just wondering how they compare to a virtual Pinball Machine? Are they really any better?
I own 16 machines and played some of the VR machines. They are pretty good, but there nothing quite like the sound and feel of that silver ball rolling around. I plan on buying a VR machine as the prices are reasonable.
You have a nice collection of pins. The have gotten so expensive theses days. I started collecting about 30 years ago before the prices really sky rocked. Stopped after my 16th addition. I haven't added anything to my bank in the last 10 years. It would be tough to replace some of my top machines like Indiana Jones. Twilight Zone, Cactus Canyon, and Theater of Magic. I would like to buy a Medieval Madness, but they are very pricey.. I do have a spot and might get a VR machine, not ideal, but will seal some of my pinball gaps.
I'm currently playing on my Muhammad Ali, which is a very satisfying pinball game. I'm not fond of all the gimmicks on the play-field but you have a nice machine.
Completely depends on the persons regional climate, garage build, insulation, ventilation, windows, vents, etc.. Every case is unique. Me personally, I have no issues
lmao, dude you could have set up recurring subscriptions for your toiletries, cleaning and laundry supplies and never thought or ran out again with that amazon credit lol
My wife did the “extreme couponing” things years back. We still have paper towels, toilet paper and shampoo from that time that we are still burning through 😆
What's up with that baby score? ;) Actually pretty good score for right out of the box. The game can be brutal but it's very fun to shoot and the code is pretty deep!
That is one awesome pinball machine. I have a question for you regarding those Amazon points ? ... really did not get that. How does that work .. ow I don't order that much from Amazon. 😆 Awesome pinball machine 👌
I was hired to do some work for a company, and the company paid me in Amazon Gift cards. I used those Amazon gift cards (which were substantial) to purchase the pinball machine.
@@cooltoy Aaaah... ok totally understaning. After seeing this video would love to deep dive into real pinball machines. Not today not the space for it now 😅😅

PINBALL is alive and kicking. You should check out some of the latest. Nothing beats the Adam's Family pinball though.
@@Ottophil It was probably a tournament. We have those at the arcade I play at.

You must be so proud.
Hard work pays off, I’m very proud of that.
@@cooltoy Of course, you are kid.
You installed the side blade artwork like a pro. I’ve seen people pull their hair out trying to line up those things while keeping out air bubbles.
How do you keep your pins in a garage? That's basically one step up from storing them outside. The drastic change in temperature will ruin them
My garage is insulated

Not sure if the shaker is a Stern or an aftermarket, but the aftermarket shakers have blown node boards. FYI
Funhouse is the best pinball ever.

My wife did the “extreme couponing” things years back. We still have paper towels, toilet paper and shampoo from that time that we are still burning through 😆
You gotta play the Rick and Morty. Its awesome.
Congratulations and well
deserved ❤. Hope you also have Central AC in your pinball game room 😅
Nope, just a little rotating fan so far. These 90+ degree days have made gaming in the garage a bit of a work out lol.
@@cooltoy 🤣❤️
Yeah I would think heat in the long runs not great for these things
@@scarpad moisture is really the only thing to worry about with these machines, fortunately I don’t have issues with a damp or wet garage at all.
Great video! I'll never have the kind of money it takes to buy a pinball machine so this is the closest I'll get. 😄
What's up with that baby score? ;) Actually pretty good score for right out of the box. The game can be brutal but it's very fun to shoot and the code is pretty deep!
The wife and I have really enjoyed the flow and the shots on this one, combos for days!
"currently unavailable". You killed their supply. LOL
like I said, crazy high demand for these machines in the last year
That is one awesome pinball machine.
I have a question for you regarding those Amazon points ? ... really did not get that.
How does that work .. ow I don't order that much from Amazon. 😆
Awesome pinball machine 👌
I was hired to do some work for a company, and the company paid me in Amazon Gift cards. I used those Amazon gift cards (which were substantial) to purchase the pinball machine.
@@cooltoy Aaaah... ok totally understaning. After seeing this video would love to deep dive into real pinball machines. Not today not the space for it now 😅😅
how it's cost you?
Are you trying to ask how much I paid for the pinball machine?
@@cooltoy yes

What do you think about electronics in these New pinballs? More easy to repair than old ones?
@@ds.m.3952 yes, pretty easy maintenance in my experience
