Love the video.

A bit worried about those balls flying out on the playfield.

good reminder to keep your balls clean and freshly waxed so it doesn't rip up the play field!

That was a good insight into the making of the game. Interesting to note that they are not using "dot animation" in the traditional format. Maybe the next step to LCD ?

and a separate thing Gary doing a Gene

Thx Swinks - this mod had to be done by somebody - there's no way I am paying $690 for the Stern topper (in fact I wouldn't pay $1 as I don't like it & it merely replicates the backbox). Not sure this mod is quite right yet - but the idea is. The mask on Gary Stern is a bit freaky with tge grey hair - but I like how he's willing to have a bit of fun with it

Kiss lighting looks good, probably should have been like that from factory though. It's good to have a bit of interactive lighting acting in the Headbox.

Agreed. Minimal additional outlay to the overall BOM but once again chooses to squeeze a few extra out of the mod aftermarket instead.

GS looks like a juggalo from ICP in that photoshoot.

I can see a close resemblance with GS to Grandpa Munster. The DNA is unmistakable.

Im convinced...

Agreed. I will be buying this mod for sure. Looks awesome.

Can't wait until my LE arrives.

What do you guys think of the pinball metal side rail and hinge mods that are available?

Stern "extras" and armor kits = Not buying. Would not install the factory topper if it was a freebie. No need to visually remind the player it is a KISS pinball twice.

Third Party - The Gene Bass siderails look amazing. The strobing backglass is exactly what should have been done in the factory. I will buy this.

I will most likely be removing the leftover Luci trim that made its way onto the LEs with a burnt orange trim that I will have done locally.

It seems that the Gene head on the Playfield is really a Gary Stern Head with the paint job which I think was a great way to get a bit of Gary onto the playfield after all these years and titles.

In years to come, after Gary has gone to the great big pinball factory in the sky (hope he lives another 30 years) but when he is gone, his head will live on with Gary sticking his tounge out at everyone on a pinball Playfield.

A nice touch and a great way to be remembered forever, having fun with it all.
