Hi Robert, how did you get notified of your delivery date. (any others for that matter) My distro said mine is coming from CGC direct today(or yesterday).

Does the truck company just call us initially or is shipping info sent another way?

I have it on the second bubble. Plays great to me. Have made it to jack $&! Haha. Not exactly true. Had a small two other couples come by the house last night. Left at 4 am. Feeling it now but everyone loved Attack from Mars.

In earlier posts you will see a more in depth explanation...but i will try.

All of the leads plug into the topper board except the two blk/yl power leads and the big main one. The topper board should be completely "used up" with the connections

You need to pop out the plug in your harness with a pin or paper clip from the back side. Or, snip the pin on the board. The toppers were tested at CGC but there were some that should have had plugs removed or the third pin cut.. better explaination with pics earlier in this tread i believe or in the unboxing theead

Loop shots smooth and fast here. Occasionally balls are rejected from the lock diverter shot, maybe 1 out of 20 times. Havent messed with it, don't plan on it. I hope you get yours playing how you want it to

I have them too. I was going to give my machine a few months to see what little things are discovered by CGC or the community, but yes they are there. We have a full year for playfield/mechanical issues

You made a good choice. Keep the hype down so you are excited when it shows up, but everyone that has played it here has been blown away.

There is no chance I will install that cliffy. As you said not only does the machine a flush-ish mantis. They put mylar on. Not that it would not have a beneficial effect

Definately a class act over there. What other plastics were cracked? I have small cracks (visible only with GI on) on the two at the base of the lanes leading to the flippers but the other plastics are perfect (and thick).

175-ish plays here. Last night lower pop bumper would not respond with initial launch/skill shots, only direct "wacks" from other bumpers. Quickly fixed by adjusting the leaf switch gap, there was quite a large gap. Also adjusted flippers to more closely align with the lanes. Fun game!

I would be doing the same thing you are doing. They should act as a light show in the default attract mode too.

I would grab a beer (or whatever you like) and trace every single one of those wires for the ships... They do act independently at times, meaning they should not all be in series...Any updates?

It slips between the flipper steel shaft and the bushing mounted through the playfield to put space between the parts. When I realigned my flippers I left that tool in place while I tightened everything down.

Maybe thats my problem, i need to switg from beer to wine!!! I am not even going to mention my high scores as I still have a factory GC on the board... Shameful but I will work on it. Once i start clearing ramp shots and orvits for Total Ann. I panic with too many options...i.e. Light locks for multiball, SOL....end up draining!!!!

They are decals. But I am at the mainstave of a strip club as i write this and I am now on pinside thinking about discussing my feat of obtaining GC on my machine. They are that good and this stripper my me irritated....

May be irritated

Irritated. Sorry.

Great game. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. Simple layout, but there are alot of things to do to. I.E. stroke of luck, ball locks for multiball, or ship shots. Then if martian attack is in play or whatever!!!!! Great quality, code, callouts, blah blah blah.

This is decal failure due to it being wrapped or "overstretched" and wrapped around the edges. Nothing more. We saw this on the SE's when this thread first started as people began to unbox. Not a good situation with the decals, as mine has some very small cracking on the right side, but its not cabinet failure. No chance.

That’s freakin funny right there! I just checked my holes and i don’t seem to have any wear or damage anywhere.... on LE095

That VUK bldg looks excellent.

1600? What wax you using? Clear looks flawless.

I like the shakers in almost everything, but in this game it adds nicely to the thrill of a good game. Everytime that thing fires off on the ship or the gate you know that you are that much closer to a drain. And when the lockbar shakes for the blowup sequence it tells your hand to go from the game to the beer.

As for them playing different, yes. They are all going to do that. Some of us have the flippers turned down from unnecessarily high default power. Others have changed sling power and outlane gaps. You can turn it into a slob or a finely turned big green machine.

Same here. Was going to list mine to offset some ACNC and moving expenses... as i was taking the pics i just stopped. Play it too much.
