Traded my Jurassic Park and some cash for a HUO Lord of the Rings LE with less than 40 plays. Who says WTB threads don't work......... - Barry

Awesome. Grats! Awesome game. Don't forget to update your profile now. Get that sucks off your wish list.

#10 11 years ago

Welcome to Middle Earth. LOTR is a great game!

#11 11 years ago

Good to see somone calling a game "A" list that really is one.

#12 11 years ago

WTB ads work fine... Unless its the "some cash" part that's the problem.

#13 11 years ago

I love LOTR and I'm very happy to have found one. I'm hoping a friend can come over tonight and help me get it in the house so I can play!!!!!

I wasn't really looking for an LE, but the condition is so nice that I couldn't pass on this one. - Barry

Got it in the house this evening and I can only find 1 issue. It seems that the diverter is out of adjustment as it makes a ton of noise when "the ents" mode starts. I'll deal with that soon enough. - Barry

I am interested in knowing what newer Stern games are considered "A" listers at this time.

Make sure the end of the diverter does not touch the post.

LOTR LE is one.

#18 11 years ago

Only 40 plays? WOW.

How do you adjust this if it does?

#20 11 years ago

Should be an allan screw underneath.

#21 11 years ago

Can't get past the beardcock.

Actually, LOTR is but is LE? The Pinside Top 100 does list TAF and TAFG separate.

Well everyone seems to have their own opinion of course. Me?

Well I'd say LOTR and AC/DC Premium.

Certainly B+ are SM & Tron.

#24 11 years ago

To me SM is an A title Stern game , but its in the eye of the beholder i guess.

#25 11 years ago

SM,LOTR for sure A list.

You'll have to excuse TaytayVA. He can't help himself, he sees cocks on everything.

#27 11 years ago

Great game, nice find.

#28 11 years ago

One week in and I'm more than happy with it. Today I installed a shaker motor, pinbits orthanic rebound defender and wrongcrowd.com's freeplay and instruction cards. I have a few more things to add soon.....

I've liked LOTR for quite sometime and it's in my top 2 machines I wanted. I posted a WTB here a while back and didn't hear anything. I also posted my RCT and JP for sale on KLOV and a few days later I got a hit..... It turns out they wanted a JP and wondered if I wanted to trade it and some cash for their LOTR LE. I wasn't really looking for an LE, but the price, condition and timing made this a deal I couldn't pass up. It was nice that it turned out to be someone I bought an arcade game from a while back and they lived about 25 minutes from me. They also threw in a bunch of the figures NIB.

The diverter was an easy adjustment and so far it's the only issue I've had. A first for me as every other game I brought home needed far more work and/or cleaning to do.... - Barry

#29 11 years ago

The pin you got looks to be in pristine condition. Nice! I have a NIB LOTR LE, and I must say it is a gorgeous piece of work!

Did Stern ever correct the ring ramp post on later editions?
