Wanted Lord of the Rings/ Metallica

I’ve got LOTR LE, I was after a normal one but most had skill posts and wear then this came up so snatched it up!
Good luck.
Good luck.
Would you ever be tempted to part with it?
No my son has first refusal if I ever sell it, he nagged me about getting one for years the crafty so and so.
They’re both excellent games. About 50% of the LOTR I see have skill posts, which I hate but others can see past no issues, so it might help people to know what you’re after in terms of condition, spec, MET Pro or Premium, etc.
Met premium is the way to go for the full game experience, but the Pro is f‘ing brilliant value in comparison. Had both, still have the Premium, so speaking from experience.
LOTR is great too, but much longer games. I have a regular non-skill post machine that I had considered selling a month or 2 ago, but it’s HUO and in really great nick with a fair few mods, plus I’m not after STTNG or Champion Pub as trade fodder, sorry.

I have a nice condition skill post LOTR I've been thinking of moving on. Not interested in a trade though as I already have a STTNG, not interested in CP and really need the space. It has Comet LEDs and a LEDOCD board. Can offer it with or without a ColorDMD. Will have to consider what fair value is in the current market as I haven't been on the forum much at all lately.
Stabilisers for pinball machines [emoji23]
Ridiculous idea ( cheers UK gambling laws [emoji106]) - they were usually immediately deactivated by ops as you could basically play a machine for hours otherwise.

You know I always thought a skill post was a single small post in between the flippers, ie
Which also suck.
I've had a few games with skill posts pass through. I found that they actually shortened my ball time as I focused on them too much. Maybe if I had persevered I would have improved with them, maybe not.
Either way, I agree, they are a dreadful idea.
Lollipop side rails will cover the hole in the cabinet once you remove the flipper buttons, and I'm sure I've seen decals that can go over the side and centre posts for TSPP and LOTR, but can't remember where.
I would prefer to have a game without the posts but not sure if I'd prefer a US import (were they doing the voltage detection thing when LOTR was released?)
I don't really notice the posts, except that the ball has hung on them once or twice in hundreds of games.

The Jackbot had one of those.
Not all UK LOTR's have them, mine doesn't as it's 2005 build date, after they got rid of the stupid law.
Maybe getting off topic slightly here but...
Spider-Man has a centre post, but my CAD drawing doesn’t show it! Maybe it was added later.
T3 clearly shows the skill post solenoids between the flippers and above the outlanes. A 2003 game.

Those CAD drawings look amazing
