Oh, they won't go to waste. But for us they're too bright any place you can see the bulb. Haven't tried them in hidden GI areas yet. Left slingshot is incandescent, right slingshot is Led. In the back box they are in the player one score reels, and incandescent in 2, 3 and 4. Again, too stark white for my liking, though they did brighten up the rest of the artwork in the backbox aside from where it says Grand Prix, kind of washed out the color. I put one in the left pop bumper, makes the yellow look good but I don't like the stark white throw underneath onto the playfield. Look good under the white inserts, which I have plenty of. Like I said, won't go to waste. That's why I appreciate the chance to try new things at a sale price.

You're right about that. If I have direct line of sight to a bulb I'll go with one SMD instead.

I prefer 5050s for EMs. I assume these were the twin smd bulbs that were in the sale. Those are too bright for EMs. I think the 5050s are not as bright.

i live in canada... it always feels like it is delayed.. lol... I don't know what i expect to see when i keep clicking on that tracking number.. but i keep on clicking..
Quoted from tonyhoff1:My order was shipped and tracking says it is delayed. Lucky me lol.
Bummer. 
The USPS has been consistently great for us...but not perfect of course. Once in a while a package goes rogue. If it's been a week and there is no update, please reach out to us and we'll get you straightened out.
...well, your package anyway.
And by package, I mean the order we shipped to you. MAYBE THEY STOLE IT AND ATE YOUR CANDY?!?

As sad as I am that you have to wait, I have to admit that it's flattering to have customers obsessively checking tracking information because they're so excited. 
bah I'm not worried, just excited, like you said. Living here it is just expected. Love the service of comet, place an order and it is shipped within 12-24 hours... just outstanding!!

Too bad it takes the post office 2 weeks. Hoping to find a pickup slip in my mailbox when I get back next week.
Someday I'll do an audit on delivery times for different countries. I'm certain that Italy is the worst. Packages just sit in customs there for about a month. It almost feels like they wait until people get fed up and start making calls, and then the package magically arrives!

Italy is terrible. South America has some real terrible times, too, especially Argentina.
Quoted from toasterman04:Jeez.... soundly Canada ain’t so bad....
Canada's shipping/customs times are GREAT by comparison to almost anywhere in South America and places like Italy.
Hey not really complaining..... but more chuckling USPS is just like CANADA POST .... ordered from Colorado and my shipment is in SAN FRAN......
That's funny. You can drive to boulder Colorado from Saskatoon in 15 hrs. Cost you a hell of a lot more then $15 in gas tho.
When Art ran it in Florida I had a envelope go from Florida to somewhere in Texas, to California, back to Oklahoma or Kentucky, then up to Vancouver where it sat in customs for 5 days. They shipped it back east before going west again 
LMAO... too funny... I ordered those fire bulbs and the matrix post lights for transformers... super pumped to try them out... but a little scared... might be placing another order sooner than planned.

Yeah I want to try the fire bulb also. Forgot when I placed my order to add some. Next time. Thought acdc would be a great game for it but I no longer own one
We'll have to see who gets theirs delivered first
