That upper left playfield was also playing up and had lights not working. Was time to wipe my hands
Hallmark Penguin & Batmobile
I installed mine today, I just peeled off the blistered Mylar very easily. Very easy to install and works great.
Thanks to @Neil McRae I will soon have the most modded Star Wars in the Galaxy!
These should help with some of the boring white inserts.

Touch of the green eyed monster again....
I really need to give Star Wars another go. I played it once on Bournemouth pier and wasn't impressed. On reflection I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be hitting and didn't spend enough time on it.
I had the exact same experience. They have an LE (no idea why an LE!) under Southend Pier and the first time I played it I hated it! I thought it was rubbish and as a huge Star Wars fan it made it even worse!
However, I played it a number times after and every time I enjoyed it more and more until I bought one.
I think it’s a brilliant game, really fun and if you are a Star Wars fan, the integration is amazing.
What it did teach me was to try hard to play games before buying them.
Well clearly you're posh because we used to holiday in Canvey
I learnt the hard way too. My first experience of JP2 was in chief and I wasn't impressed. Sticking £2 in a machine on location and having one at home are two very different things though. Owning JP taught me not to judge a game on first impressions because it's actually a fantastic machine.
You're absolutely right about being a Star Wars fan, maybe our expectations were too high?
Anyway, I saw a video on Star Wars recently and the shots didn't look too bad at all.

The best thing about Canvey (apart from it being separated from the rest of Essex
) was finding Street Fighter II cabs as a kid that cost 10p a go, instead of the usual 20p in Southend! Great times!Yeah, give Star Wars a go if you get the chance and if you go NIB, get the Comic Art version, it looks incredible!

More like the depressed monster. I would have a Star Wars in a second but they blew it there isn’t a good star wars pinball machine in about 5 different goes!

In all seriousness, have you spent much time on it? Speaking from experience, it takes a while to appreciate it.
Painted and added some hair as you do, my wife was not happy when I borrowed her brush
Got some acrylic baseball bat holders coming so will be a bit higher and held properly but should still be able to grab it if those walkers start coming

yeah I forced myself to play the LE for a few days in Austin.
Thanks @Neil McRae... Gloss black.. got all the other hardware done earlier. Got the Treasure Cove refurb decals coming to put back on lockbar & box.. sold my Elvira Topper to pay for it all
New topper arrived
A few people have asked about the topper..
I don’t have this... Yet...
You can pick this up for €3162... or the price of a BM66 Batmobile topper

When your wife arranges to buy a puppy and in a bizarre coincidence it turns out to be from a forum member
Lovely little pup, congrats mate [emoji106]

Bracket just came away and bat hit the glass full whack with barbed wire hitting glass
The glass Neil organised and it survived
Thought I was chancing it with hot glue, will screw it down
