Evening all, for sale is my super pimped OG Metallica Premium.
If the remaster wasnt out, this game would never be leaving, but being such a big 'tallica fan, id like to get the remaster (even if I'm conflicted as ro wether its worth the extra £xk+£2k on accessories ik gonna need to fork out..)
Not a massive rush, as no remasters in stock for it seems and itd be nice to reach EOTL before it goes.
If i can't sell for a good price, I'll just keep it for longer.

Looking for xxxx

I'm based in East London (Upton Park - not far from Stratford) and Martin has been round many times (+Matt V knows where I am too)
Obvs, if somone has a remaster (prem or LE) and for some reason would like some spondolix and an OG, let me know!

Happy for the buyer to come round for a cuppa and play it first.

May consider a trade for something* (would proritise a trade+cash coming my way), but straight sale very much preffered.

Others which comes to mind:
Batman 66
Lebowski
Stranger things (UV a must)
Cactus Canyon Continued
Maybe a nice Revenge from Mars (lcd) if not a hassle to get in our flat.
I like games with cool mods+powdercoated armour obvs..

Only imperfection I can see is a bit of a scrape mark on the right back corner (near the back leg)
currently has an aftermarket MOP/LE translight installed, but also have the original "monsters" premium translight (not the crap road case one!...)
Edit: as per pics in post further down, I have the backbox secured using the verticle holes inside the backbox, as when it arrived I had trouble getting the a bolt into the righside hole (factory drilled the hole slightly off?) - all secure though, but thought I'd mention it.

Loads of mods including:

UV lightbars and powerblades(?)
Lovely purple powdercoated lockdown bar+armour
Colour dmd (LCD)
Upgraded speakers and sub (by new forrest pinball)
Shaker motor
invisiglass
Speaker lights
Edit: speaker panel magnetic artwork saround (can easily be removed in 1 second)
Graveyard arch mod (which flashes, unlike most)
Sparky helmet wire (either reacts to UV light or is lit itself, can't tell)
Scoop light (purple)
Snake fangs
Fuel target green blacklight
Various gell inserts (fuel/pick inserts - easily removed)
Shooter lane protector
Col's illuminous plastic protectors
Snake ramp mod (decal and plastic)
Metal orbit post
Original bagged Manual included
Brand new spare set of drops targets (with decals on and springs)

Since I've owned it, apart from installing the MOP translight and Snake ramp mod, I also purchased and replaced the sparky magnet core with a brand new one, so it'll be great for years and no risk of damage from mushrooming.
Also installed a Metal orbit up post (the remake has this too), as balls were rolling back down when hitting the left orbit shot.
Also installed new carbon balls, as old ones were getting magnetised and sticking in the coffin lock (all great now)
Finally, I also bought a brand new set of drop targets which I'd include.

Few pics below and here's a private you tube (to avoid copyright strikes) - couldn't play with 1 hand, so crap camera angle, but stick with it, as i do pull the camera back at some key moments (there's a nice last second cross super jackpot, hopefully camera picked it up:-)
Will do another video from a better angle with my gopro at the weekend and take more pics.

Edit: better video

Pics of the inside of the cab, underside of playfield and inside backbox.
As you can see in one of the pics, the backbox is secured using the vertical holes (like newer sterns are now as standard iirc) rather than the two holes on the back, as when the pin arrived i had trouble getting the right side (if facing the back of the game) screw hole, so stern may have drilled that hole a couple of mm off?
Still very secure with the back bolts in the verticle positions, but thought I'd mention it anyway, as i was confused when it arrived (for a while I had one bolt verticle one side and horizontal/back hole left side - i guess you could have two verticle and one in the back left side)

Uploaded pics; including glass off pics.
Will recorded another vid from a better angle when I get time.
Thanks again for looking 👍🏻
 
Here's a link to a private vid shot from a better angle. Not my best game and ended early, as my wife was kindly filming on my phone.


Looking for a straight sale, but would possibly entertain a trade* for something special (would prioritise a trade with cash coming my way on top) and get a remaster further down the line (palate cleanser might be good, rather than going straight from one MET to a more expensive one!)

Won't keep bumping the thread; will let it expire if no interest and maybe list down the line if not sold/traded elsewhere.

Thanks again for looking and to those who've pm'd me 👍🏻

*maybe Lebowski, Batman 66, Stranger things (UV a must), Cactus Canyon Continued, maybe scooby doo ce (with lcd topper would be nice )Maybe a nice Revenge from Mars (lcd) if not a hassle to get in our flat.

Just updated the title to reflect that Big Lebowski, Batman 66 ,Stranger things, CCC would prob be top of my potential trade list (not ruling out others, but YKWIM) - cheers
 
Let me know jonathan; no rush 👍🏻 feel free to pm me.
have been trying to find a Batman 66, but defo still open to a nice ST (ideally with topper too, as i like it:-)

Dont you mean £8165.73

Ha! Well yeah - at this time, I'm not letting the game go for less that £xxxx I'd rather keep it.
The remaster isn't worth more than an extra £xxk for me (tbh I dont think it's even worth £xk more really, but I'm a huge fan of band/pin)

Incidentally, if anyone has a Stranger Batman, or Batman T'ings game in trade, that would be ideal...👍🏻
A Stranger Batman Lebowski game; also,.count me in 😗

In all seriousness, defo gravitating towards a Batman66 or Stanger things, maybe even a Cactus Canyon (love continued), however the way it's looking, I'll be hanging on to Metallica for a while longer yet (can't complain :-) )

What with pay day coming up and some getting bonuses and what not, before I decide to keep it, thought I'd see if there's any interest at xxxx

Have been doing that silly thing where I'm not playing it whilst it's up for sale, so will take down soon. Looking forward to playing for a bit tonight though, after a chaotic week at work!

Oh, trade wise, the games which currently come to mind that I could be interested in are as follows (but try me):

Batman 66
Big Lebowski
Stranger Things
Pulp fiction (very doubtful I know)
Cactus Canyon (continued or Remake)
Bond? (Not sure)
Funhouse LE? (Rudy's Nightmare)

Not been issues with the quality of ramps etc on the remastered version. I’d stick with the original. SAM system is far more reliable than Spike. Those boards never go wrong!

I also heard that some have had their Sparky Head fall off on the Remaster, which sounds ridiculess (noone i know has had the issue mind)
I will get one some day, but for now the one I have is more than adequate 👍🏻
 
Another Freak Friday deal (because the last one went so well...) whilst another game I'd like is still available to me, I'm offering my Metallica for £xxxxx

One time deal; After this, once the ad is removed, down the line if it gets put up again, it won't be offered for anywhere near as low as this.

Thanks again all and have a great Friday weekend.

Side note; I knew I shouldn't have put this up for sale the same week the Mumford & Sons/John Meyer colab LE got announced (with giant red docker's hat topper no less...)

If i didnt already have a pro that is completely bolted then id be snatching your hand on this Den, tbh I wouldnt sell it for this if I were you!! 😋
 
Cheers Dave! If it wasn't that I know one day I'm destined for a remaster, I wouldn't even think of selling. Also, have been offered a couple of good deals from friends for other games, so would be nice to have something different to learn/play before a Remasterd comes in to my life.

Defo won't be offering at anywhere near this down the line (would rather put it in storage/loan to a friend than than get bent over)

Totally agree!

Might still keep and just play the remaster at funland to get my fix/achievements:-)
Have also have a cunning play involving a nicely sized FRFR speaker i have which fits under the game, whereby I can blast as many "new" tracks as I like whilst I play:-) (i mean, the UV effects on my game are already better than the one one the remaster anyway he he)
 
Changed to just a straight sale now, before I let the ad expire and just be very grateful for what I have, and carry on enjoying it 🛌🏽

Could still be tempted by a nice Stranger Things though 🤔 ; if you have one with UV kit, topper etc, I'm sure we could work something out.

Morning all, in case there's anyone looking for a Met Premium, but my one is a bit pricey for them/they don't like mine/don't like me.... there's one just popped up on Facebook for £6,999.
Doesn't come with colour dmd (just buy one for £500 or whatever), but has laser cut side rails and such.

The guy is down on the south coast IIRC

So this one was down to 7500 and now it's back up to 8400? Talk about a wild ride 😂

Yep; and comparing the one up for sale for £6,999 to mine, I'm glad I put my price back up! 😀

Did reduce my price to £7,500 at one point, as really wanted to grab another game (and was clear at the time it was a one rime offer), but that moment has now passed and it won't be being offered at that price again.

Thanks for your contribution though mate 👌
