Quoted from jfh:Interesting that you have 53 and the box said 56. Sorry to hear about the TV. To answer your question, yes. My game was playable out of the box.
Do what many of us have done - go through your game, check for loose and missing screws/hardware, check the zip ties (especially left ramp), glue the Batmobile screws in and do the QC that Stern apparently missed on many of these games. And keep your fingers crossed your playfield isn't defective.
This is so sad! I wish you guys the best!
