Quoted from kermit24:I thought they only asked for payment when shipping was around 2 weeks away?
Mine is through Joe at PinballStar and I think he probably asked his entire block of orders (which I'm at the tail end of I believe) to submit payment around the same time, which was middle of this month. No biggie for me, since I just got my Atlanta Falcons season tickets refund and I could have just burned the money and had more fun than watching another year of that *&$^ show in person 
. Sending it to Joe saves me from that temptation

Quoted from lapean111:Just got word that my R&M, #229 ships next week!! Woot!!
Nice! I’m 237 so hopefully not far behind. Curious how you found out as I’ve not heard a peep since submitting my options to Pinball Star over a month ago.

Quoted from arzoo:Hmmm, 234 (PinballSTAR) and I have not heard any shipping news. Hoping soon!
I'm 237 and also haven't heard. They make them in batches and I doubt they push them out the door in numerical order. We should be within the next day or so I bet. Trying to be patient and not bugging Joe too much with the GnR CE mess he is likely dealing with.
DruTheFu yours may have shipped already. I got my email from Joe on Monday that mine would be shipping in the next few days - then I got a text on Tuesday to schedule delivery (it had already arrived in Atlanta) - which leads me to believe that it had shipped sometime last week. Hang in there - it will be any day now I'm sure.
Mine is being delivered tomorrow and I'm having a lot of trouble staying focused at work...
It seems that Jerry got a job at R&L Carriers. #237 was supposed to be delivered today but I just got a call that they forgot to load it on the truck this morning. I am promised that it will be first delivery tomorrow - we shall see.
#237 arrived today after an absolutely horrible experience w/ R&L Carriers. They “forgot” to put it on the truck on Thursday and Friday, and it finally showed up at 7am this morning (Saturday). I’ll never use them for shipping a pin in the future.
Handful of issues that I’m going to be working my way through - many of these have been reported by others.
- Right flipper button has issues. Top flipper engages first, followed by the bottom one, so I’m guessing the wires are backwards on the dual leafs. The bottom one also doesn’t engage reliably.
- Ridiculous levels of bass. I’ve dialed the sub volume just a hair over completely off (counter clockwise). Seems like it is way too sensitive to the tiniest adjustment. I will need some kind of anti rattle tape for sure.
- Shaker motor is also way too strong, so I’ll open it up and tweak the angle between the weights.
- Getting quite a few air balls on the right ramp. Does it need some kind of shield/protector there? Maybe flipper strength should be dialed down.
- Looks like I’m having the cab decal issue around the legs that others have reported recently. I’m going to either add an additional protector, or some washers/shims. This is more than a little annoying, and makes me not want to play it until I figure out a solution.
Glad to finally have my machine, but wish it were a bit more “ready to play” out of the box.
