Quoted from hank527:Take out the clear washers. The sling plastics are too high. With orange protectors you do not need the washers.

so fn ridiculous that buyers of bm66
have to grovel to stern for a code update. i would be livid especially if i bought a bm66 sle. stern should be sending you emails regarding code releases and product improvement campaigns. they are on to the next pin and money grab, they will get to bm66 when they can, they got their money, its on the backburner. now go reward them and buy a star wars now, right?
Quoted from taz:I agree. My patience and goodwill are wearing a little thin. We all know the story of BM66 being rushed out, ahead of AS for example, and many of us have been cool with that situation since Expo, while both AS and SW came out with much better code. I expected that. If we get another new pin release after SW with better code than BM66 has by that point, my goodwill will be over. I'm still hopeful, but no longer optimistic. My BM66 LE purchase deposit invoice is dated August 30, 2016. How much longer can Lyman dedicate significant resources to BM66 with Lonnie and Dwight having coded new games since he has?
your so last year to stern, they want the new money!
ask kiss pin owners!
Quoted from MK6PIN:Not exactly true.....focusing optical lens ( glass) and a pretty tidy assembly inside..the silicone ring around the edge " softens" the whole effect....quite nice, actually. Is it worth $200? of course not. But comparatively to the pin, a very nice finishing touch.....
i am one of the suckers that bought the horrendous gb topper
believe me i have been there!
stern is always after the new money. same happened to kiss. no different here with bm66, except i thought they would throw you all a bone for spending all that money!
gary stern says keep your eyes on the ball, keep your eyes on the ball and thats for new pins and future releases. old games get tossed aside very fast. its the same with every new pin.

Quoted from bjorg:I was sad to see that Stern's room at San Diego Comic-Con was filled only filled with Star Wars machines. Surely, Batman 66 would have resonated with this crowd. Alas, no dice...
cause stern moves on the the next pin, the new money is all that matters to them right now. bm 66 on the backburner, status quo.

Quoted from jfh:Rumor has it that there was a code drop planned for a few weeks ago that was scrapped because, although it was a significant update, Stern was still going to get crap for releasing what was clearly going to be another interim release. Rather than spend resources on testing, Stern decided to have Lyman continue on the code, scrapping the planned drop.
As I wrote some time back the whiners have put Stern in a no win situation. IMO scrapping interim releases until we are very close to a release version is the smart move. But this means we have to wait longer between updates.
I expect 3 more significant releases (two by the end of the year)
1) 1.0 release code
2) polish release adding A/V assets/callouts
3) bug fix for 1 & 2
And hopefully some extra stuff after that if Lyman isn't happy with those 3.
the whiners who paid 9500,10500 and 15500?
for no apparant reason, stern customers are such whiners!
Quoted from Manimal:If they hadn't gone to the "15k Super LE" model and asked people to send videos begging to be able to buy one, I would agree with you. It wasn't a gamble for them because they knew people would line up.......and line up we did.
I have said all along the code will do this game justice, and don't get me wrong......I am not complaining. The game is already a keeper in my books. But you have to admit looking back, there were a lot of silly things going on. I am betting most of the 15k buyers would sell today if they could get their money back.
15,500.00 dollar bills, actually stack 5 ft 4 inches high!

Quoted from hank527:Amen. I cannot believe the lack of communication on this.

its very bad business and the optics are just terrible.
