I purchased the BIB LE as my first pin ever. I gotta tell you, this game has me (and my two daughters) hooked. Number 243/300. I had a couple problems when it arrived (couple missing screws, cannon not working), but I contacted Chaz at Stern and he had me up and running in no time. 600 games and she is still pristine. My daughters are quite young, but absolutely LOVE it.
Downside is that I caught them drawing numbers on each other's butt cheeks with Crayola Markers. Those of you who own this pin know where they got that from. My buddy has the PRO version with over 2000 plays on it. Other than replacing a few bulbs, his looks absolutely NIB. I was looking at his PRO playfield last weekend when he had the glass off. I used my flashlight for a very close inspection and could not find a scratch......absolutely solid!! I honestly think I would have been just as happy with the PRO. Playing both on a regular basis, I personally feel that the PRO is faster. Anyway, congradulations on your new purchase. I was in your shoes back in June.
