Just joined the club with my first NIB and I love it. After playing for a few days I have a couple of questions...

I notice that if there is just one or two balls in the toy chest it always seems to dump them directly on top of that plastic to the left of the box and I am concerned that at some point it will crack. Is this a valid concern? Has anyone tried the Clear Acrylic Plastic Pop Bumper and Upper Plastic Protectors from ULEK? Seems like they might be more beneficial than the slingshot and return lane protectors.

Also, some shots into the elevator seem to bypass the lock and come straight up and out through the top/front and then roll down the plastic in front of the elevator and drop into the toy chest lock. It is not every time, but maybe 1 out of every 6 or 7. Is this normal or is there an adjustment I need to make to something inside the elevator?

Thanks.
