The coin stack flasher in the John Wick pinball is creative but has several shortcomings, including:
1) the top “coin” is just a flat sticker
2) the sticker is on a silver mount, which clashes with coin colors
3) the scatter in the ‘random stacking’ goes from front to back (with respect to the player’s perspective) so it isn’t very noticeable
4) the ‘random stacking’ isn’t really random — every other coin lines up
5) the inner shaft for the forward threaded stud is clearly visible and unsightly
6) the hex spacer behind the coin stack clashes with the coins & spotlight boards

Like Marcus was there looking out for John Wick, Rocket City Pinball is here looking out for John Wick pinball owners, with a greatly improved coin stack flasher mod that address all six of the issues listed above.

There are two versions of the mod — one includes the lower coin stack plus a black sleeve to hide the hex spacer; the other includes the lower coin stack plus a second coin mount which hides the hex spacer and spotlight boards entirely.

The actual coin(s) included are very high quality replicas of the coins used the in the films. The coins are two-sided with different designs on each side, so the end user can choose which face to display. The lion side is extra shiny due to its smooth background; the woman/shield side is still shiny but less reflective due to ridges in the background.

The lower stack is printed in a rich yellow transparent color, so it lights up per design intent. The extra topped ‘leaning’ coin mount is printed in a sparkly gold color, since it doesn’t require transparency and more closely matches the coin color (only its thin outer edge is visible to the player). Both components include fine ridges along the coin ‘edges’ and the placement of the coin in the stack is more random for a more realistic look. The upper ‘leaning’ mount displays the beautiful coin even more prominently and helps visually balance the playfield toys.

Both components are designed for strength, as this game is very prone to airballs. Play testing has demonstrated repeated direct airball strikes with no damage. Rocket City Pinball parts are warrantied 100% — so in the unlikely event that you do experience airball damage to the printed stack or mount, it will be replaced free of charge.
