Quick note. I have bought a number of NIB Games from Kurt and Mark at Hemispheres Amusements. Those guys are great and their customer service is outstanding. I’d actually be getting my game if I hadn't decided on an LE.

They are not.

It is technically the responsibility of the purchaser to pay the sales tax. There is a spot on the Wisconsin Income Tax Form where you can voluntarily pay any uncharged sales tax.

To quote the call out from Jurassic Park. "Why would Nedry do this?" Having played this pin, I think the music is just fine. It's not a music pin after all, it's a remake of a classic that was never "finished". I think most of us who have one ordered are very excited to get this pin and I have even higher hopes for the Lyman (RIP) code enhancement.

I happen to be speaking to my distributor yesterday about sonneting else and causally asked about my Cactus Canyon LE. He said that he understood the tentative plan from CGC was to produce 500 SE's and then switch to LE production. He said, and I quote,"Hopefully, I asking you for some money in a few weeks. If that proves to be correct, we may, emphasis on may start to see some LE's in the wild sometime in June.

Personally, I really appreciate the effort that was put forward to create and maintain the FAQ. Thanks JFH! I think referring people to the FAQ when a question has already been answered there makes total sense and will prevent a significant amount of redundancy.

Although I don't know Richard, I a random stranger am still hoping he gets his game soon! I'm am currently waiting patiently for my LE, so I can empathize with his pain. Maybe Trudeau banned the importation of CCr because it has handguns on it! Just a thought.

I now have a race going on. Will my CCr LE arrive before my TS4 CE. Bonus race. Will I get both machines before Richard gets his game?

I was/am fortunate (insane) enough to manage to get them both. I really enjoyed playing CCr at several Pinball Shows which is why I pulled the trigger on one. (Pun intended).

Don't do it. I had a Mandalorian Premium from its initial release. Put may 180 plays on it tops. I didn't really like that game very much and neither did most of my guests. I actually traded mine in on a TS4 CE. I think you'll be much happier with Cactus Canyon in the long run. I'd still waiting for my CCr LE but I have played enough CCr to know that the game is a lot more fun than Mandalorian in my opinion. Again just my opinion, but trust me after the initial shine wears off Mando will not be heavily played if you have other alternatives.

With pinball nowadays you must learn patience. I ordered an Elvira premium in July of 2021, still waiting, ordered a CCr LE last year when they came out. Still waiting. I will say Kudo’s to Stern on my Bond LE which I ordered release day and was told December and my game arrived last week, in December as promised, so Stern apparently can keep some of their promises some of the time. Although the code is a bit rough at the moment. I still think the CCr LE will be worth the wait, no sense complaining about something I can’t control. It’s only a pinball machine after all , not some life or death medicine or medical device.

CCr LE #528 MFG 3/30/23 is in the house. A long wait but well worth it.

I have both games and I am an ok player. JP is a hard game, it's very challenging, Frankly out of all my Stern's it's my least favorite game. CCr however, is a great game, super fun to play for both beginners and higher level players. I can only imagine how good it will be if they ever offer the "Lyman" code ideas. I waited a long time to get my LE, but frankly I feel it was worth the wait. The build quality is also phenomenal. I will say the only disappointment was the original back glass fortunately I ordered the Mirrored Back Glass/Translite and it was worth every penny.

The original by which I mean the one they include with CCr, not the original CC, is a piece of clear glass with a printed piece of essentially thick paper you put behind the glass. The limited mirrored back glass option was actually silkscreened on the glass. The whole paper thing surprised me. It looked ok, but its not the same as a translite were the graphics are on the glass.
