We had a fantastic Pinfest—three days of Pinball. It was brilliant meeting and chatting with folks and so much fun. Played some incredible machines. And now I have so many on my wish list (a couple on my need list 
We both played in the PinFest Open and Classic competitions. I loved it, even though I may not have done so well. I enjoyed every minute of it, seeing the best players in the UK play; they have incredible skills.
Loved watching the final.
I added some Side Armor and Mirror Blades to my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine, and I really like how it looks. The Side Armor from CabCustom is a great product. I appreciated that they offer a customized option, and it’s much better value than the Stern version. The quality is excellent!
The Mirror Blades from @Silverpaolo are also top-notch in quality, and the communication was great. I was initially worried about the installation, but it turned out to be quite simple, and I think the result is outstanding.
I just installed Stumblor’s “Godzilla Subway MOD,” and I’m so impressed. It looks absolutely amazing, and pictures really don’t do it justice. The design seamlessly fits in with the playfield aesthetics, making it look like it was originally part of the machine. Kudos to Stumblor for another fantastic creation! I can’t wait until Tokyo Neon #4 is released!
Top quality, easy to install with full instructions, and some replacement graphic acrylics supporting other colours (noticed and black/white design :-))
I’m just hoping that Stumblor will make some modifications for JP2. :-)
I made some upgrades to my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine. I added a Shaker from PinSound, which really enhances the experience, especially when the T-Rex roars and the machine shakes. I also installed some coil cooling fans that I got from Wayne on the PinballInfo Forums. I haven’t noticed any fading with the machine yet, but that’s probably because our scores are still relatively low and our gaming sessions are short. However, we’re improving, and our game times are getting longer.
In addition, I replaced all the rubbers with new silicone ones from TITAN. It was a bit of a hassle because we had to remove a lot of the playfield, including a ramp and the Raptor Pen.
I thoroughly cleaned and waxed it, and now it plays so well. This game is incredibly addictive, and the shots feel amazing. It’s much more challenging to play and progress than Godzilla, and it’s very different from Godzilla Pin. I’m really glad we chose this pair.
I just installed a Pin2DMD on my World Cup Soccer, and the difference is impressive. The colours are vibrant, and the animations are so much better in colour. The pictures don’t do it justice; it looks fantastic.
The DMD is so clear; the colours are vibrant and really pops.
Big thanks to Andrew @Terranigma from Pinballinfo (I bought it from him) for a great product, great price, fast delivery, and support with the installation.
When everyone else in the house is asleep, it’s time for pinball. I prefer to have Col’s Plastic Protectors installed on the playfield to add a bit of protection to the original plastics. I think it really improves the look of the playfield by adding a bit more light and colour. I recently added these yellow protectors to my Stern Jurassic Park Premium pinball machine, and I’m really happy with them.
As always, the product quality is excellent, and it’s easy to install. Now, let’s see if I can break a billion points. It’s a challenging game, but it’s so addictive, and there are some amazing shots.

Integrating the movie scenes into my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine is an awesome upgrade. The clips really enhance the experience. We opted for the lite version, which preserves the original game rules callouts and truly feels like a seamless integration as if Stern themselves did it. It really amps up the excitement.
The creators of this movie code have done an outstanding job. It’s truly impressive. Sourced it from Pinside (PoMC) :-)
Whilst in London for the EE event, I managed to spend an hour at Funland and had my first try at the Sterns John Wick pinball Pro Version.
It played okay, but the code seemed really early and just didn’t grab me. I’m not sure why, it just seemed a bit average. Maybe the Premium version will interest me more, but as of now, it’s not on my wish or want list.
The flow was smooth, but there weren’t many shots, and the artwork was impressive. Maybe I just wasn’t that interested in the theme. However, I did really enjoy the first movie.
