Quoted from hornisse69:i need one Set for my Premium ....
Out Of STOCK
Buy the pro. No need for that sneeze guard anyways unless the game is out on route. I've had mine off for a couple hundred plays with Zero hang ups there. I did see a picture of someone that did have one hang-up there but I think that was a fluke.
Quoted from TKDalumni:ordered mine on 11/30 and still nothing :-/
Same story here 
Received and installed the snake mod today. Looks great!! While I was waiting for delivery, following Joe's example, I had both wire form ramps powder coated granny apple green. I then spray painted them with Mossy texture paint, bought at Michaels. I then spritzed them with satin black paint and followed up with a coat of clear. This makes the snake mod look complete and enhances the overall look. As mentioned, this suggestion came from Joe as he had posted a pic of it. No pics from me as I do not own a digital camera.

Quoted from Drewblood419:Ordered my LE version on day 1 and still nothing....
I just checked on your order and it was definitely shipped with the LE orders after we received our first shipment of new plastics last week. It should be there any day now. Thanks for your patience!
Quoted from yzfguy:images.jpgAll of us pestering you constantly reminds me of a mama bird trying to feed all the hungry chirping babies
Received my "LE" version on Friday. 20 minute install including proper decal alignment with foreceps and fingers. Color of plastic and decal is slighty darker than my snake head due to production differences at the Stern factory, but I don't really care as it still looks like came from the factory this way and WAY better. I had somebody over last night and they could not believe Stern did not make this feature.
My ONLY recommendation is DON'T put the piece of Mylar clear adhesive strip on top of the decal when you produce it. The shine makes it stand out improperly, and you can see the imperfections. Screening the decal in the future would make it look like a NOS plastic. I removed my clear mylar coat strip, cleaned all th glue residue with goo gone (which was a pain in the butt to get all of it iff so there was no smearing, another 20 minutes of careful work) and then installed it. No unusual shine.

Hope ya don't have a problem with ware.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Hope ya don't have a problem with ware.
As you know, the current version applies the decal from the top not the bottom since this is not screened (although the could be applied via reverse adhesive in the future), so the plastic protects the decal against the ball or pop bumper.
The ball shield on LE prevents wear on top from landing balls. Based on popularity and integration of the design, I would not have a problem buying another of needed, and could even get another screened in a real pinch.
In most cases this is not a real problem, as the decal does not "rub off" which I tested when I cleaned off the glue residue. No loss of color, good quality decal.
Pingrafix did a good job, and one of the better mods I have seen, and I do not use many.
I am probably going to get a "clear" additional plastic to double the strength like the rest on my game, anyway.
Thanks.

Don't feel bad, I tried to send an email only to discover I had typed PingraDfix. My thumbs and phone are not always in synch.

Quoted from ChrisS:When will the LE/Premium version be back in stock?
Ditto
Quoted from Laseriffic:Another batch of LE Plastics is complete and heading to Joe on Saturday.
Joe is Da Man.
There is a how to youtube video if you Google groups t. Essentially, you need to drill an extra hole or teonto accommodate the "sneeze guard" or plastic piece that covers the hammer shaft.
I am still awaiting response on be allowed a CLEAR LE plastic from Joe (without decal as a "Double Up").
Clarity, would be appreciated Gina.
Email was sent before Christmas.
Quoted from pinchamp:What do I have to do to install the pro on my LE machine? Easy enough? Thanks
"Template and drill it"

I don't get it. Is this in case a weird air ball lands on top to damage the decal?

Pop bumpers region and airballs.
It sits RIGHT OVER two pop bumpers.
I have already seen the plastic hit from both sides.
Additionally, that is why Stern added the guard on LEs partially due to the hammer ball catch area, and try to protect that spindly LARGE plastic underneath. That plastic is getting a protector as well.

@xTheBlackKnightx Sorry about that. You could have sent a follow up email if you felt I wasn't responding to you in a timely manner. We were extremely busy and I obviously missed it.
To answer your question we can sell you a plastic but, we don't have any in stock at the moment. Send me a new email to [email protected] with your shipping address and when we receive the plastics I will invoice you the amount.

Joe already emailed me.
I sent an additional me to you.
Laserific is supposed to contacted, and clean up the circling.
I understand you were busy and the holidays, that is why I did not say anything until now.
