My only knock on that game is that it gave me the false sense that i am a good player.

Quoted from DCFAN:

beatmaster said:welcome to the club.

Did you get the Balrog candle holder? I have been looking for one of them.

no, regular bust from gentle giant.

Quoted from Vyzer2:

Cabinet has many scratches . It was obviously set up because when the legs were removed (by a troll)...badly scratched on all 4 legs areas. Play field looks fine....but I bought an nib...not someone elses return. I will be sending pictures to where I bought it..and go from there.
But but...the pf of looks very good. Hard to decide. I will pm u tomorrow. You may know where I bought from...they are sympathetic..and upset from where it actually came from. But I have some questions and a little embarrassed to ask the forum...newbie sh t.

Send it back or get compensation for it....I had a problem as well, on delivery a fork lift apparently jammed right into the bottom cabinet and poked a hole in it....as a newbie I wasn't sure what to do and got great feedback on here, sent it back and got a new one......

Glad I did!..It's an awesome machine, only gets better over time...

I'm very happy that I picked up my LOTR after casually looking for one last year.
At the right price and in the right condition, this is a keeper to me.

Interesting Icemean..i actually saw your posts....and at first thought they sent me the one you rejected. There was a piece of ply wood attached around the area of your hole...we looked inside and there was no hole. You guys are all great and i am going to start a thread about this forum/pinside. But i have to get back to work to pay for these machines!
At moment, have not heard word back..and also, dont have time to fight at the moment.

NOW its a great post!

I got my Pinbits.com plastic protector kits today. It comes with inserts for the Gimli and SAM holes. Also got the rail protector for the left side of POTD drop area. Came with zip ties too.

Quoted from DCFAN:

For the Barad-Dur tower scoop, I had bounce-outs as well. I bought a piece of Drop-dead foam from pinball life. It has a peel and stick back side. I just cut a couple small pieces of that and placed it in the back of the scoop beyond the upkicker and that seems to solve the problem.
The good thing about that is that I did not have to do any permanent modification to the game.

Pretty similar idea. I just used the blue foam square (had one lying around). Also, taking out that stubby little post will make catching the ball even smoother. No permanent mods at all. The foam I put in is kind of over and behind the depressed area.

As for the plastic protector kit above, it's a good set. I put one in just in case. But, I do *not* like the PotD bounce protection, because I don't like the PotD bounce. (I still believe this was an unfinished spot that does more harm than good in stock condition.) I highly recommend a deflector from the PotD onto the left ramp.

I just Destroyed the Ring. Awesome! The machine went freakin crazy. Coils and flippers firing by themsevles. This game gets better and better.

If it was Automated, maybe they repaired it somehow, nothing wrong with it otherwise...

Wait 'til you get to There and Back. awesome mode. I have no idea what Valinor is like, tho.

There and Back again is awesome, I was smiling the whole time. Mainly because I love the LOTR music.
