I just placed a LE deposit yesterday. I wonder how long until these are boxed, out the door and mine is in my hands? Can't freaking wait!!

I thought I saw someone saying they were going to make the LEs and CEs first. Oh well, I will get it when I get it. If it's later in the summer I will kind of forgotten about it, I hope, and then when I hear it's ready it will be like Christmas when I was a kid!

that makes sense. I just went back and re-read, they said standards and LE's first then CE's. Doesn't Stern do LEs first?

Does anyone know how many games JJP is capable of making a day? I wonder how many international orders have to go before we start seeing our domestic games?

Have any games shipped yet, I'm guessing not since we haven't seen pictures, but am curious as to why not because there are machines that are complete. Just remembered the overseas games go out before our domestic games.

I hope it's only stern's policy, can't freaking wait to get mine. All of the updates are only making the wait even more painful!

I guess that would make sense to "bulk" ship them, I was thinking 12 would be enough to ship, but maybe not. I was thinkingmaybe they were on some kind of QC hold.

I wonder who the lucky distributor will be to get the first order, hopefully Automated so I can get mine. I am # 14 on their list for an LE so hopefully I will get mine soon!

Any new updates for this week?

I wonder if they are shipping both import and domestic games at the same time? The box with the serial number shows USA, but one of the games setup had a single slot coin door.

The serial # on the box is 8721028, I wonder if this is the 8th game off the line or the 28th game? His LE certificate says game 144, surely it's not the 144th LE produced. Does anyone have any ideas or guesses?

Well it was Skyemont's game that I was referring to, wish I had mine, but that was my feeling also that it was probably the 28th game. If the LEs are a limited run do you or anyone else know why they just wouldn't start at number one? Where does the 144 come from?

Got the call yesterday afternoon that my game was ready and once final payment was received they would set up shipping. Of course as soon as I got off the phone with my distributor I called the bank, setup the wire payment, but it was too late in the day for the wire to process so it will go through Monday. Hopefully I will have it in my anxious little hands mid-week next week.

My distributor said that JJP keeps calling telling and saying they have another game or 2 ready for them. So far my distributor has been allotted 20 games; it really sounds like they are flowing out of the factory at a pretty good pace.

DILE # 0085 in da house!! This game plays like butter and is built like a tank! I couldn't believe how heavy it was and how smooth everything feels such as the flippers and when the ball is kicked into the shooter lane it's very smooth and quiet unlike how Stern feels like a soup can full of rocks is being hit with a hammer, that was my comparison anyway. lol

I took the day off work to receive the game, unbox and enjoy it. As soon as I saw it get loaded onto the drop deck of the truck I saw a puncture in the box. He wheeled up to my door step and my heart about sank because I could see the side of the head decal. I looked on the other side and it was hit also. I cut large areas out of the box to inspect and the decals were fine, the warning font on the backbox was smudged and had some small impact dents in the wood, but I accepted it anyway. Sucks, but I guess nothing in life is perfect. Anyway set it up and was amazed with the game, a lot on it that I need to learn about.

If anyone is on the fence about this game I don't think you will be disappointed in it. After ordering I was feeling guilty about spending that much $ on a game, but I work hard for my money and once I played it I feel it was money well spent comparatively speaking to other NIB games out right now.

I did get that, but can't remember where it was taped on the machine, my friend or I must have taken it off before the pictures was taken. I can take a closeup picture of the "servicing the monitor" procedure and post it here because there is a detailed procedure on how to do it.

I was playing my DI more last night, of course, and forgot to mention how smooth the pop bumpers are when they go off. I bought a NIB game from the "world's largest pinball manufacturer" a few weeks ago and can say DI's pop bumpers are MUCH smoother and less clunky.

Also forgot to mention that my DI was born on 6-21-17 so it was exactly one week old when it made it to my house

I think you are correct about this. I think someone posted they had a way higher number, maybe in the 300s. I wonder what is the reason behind this? Maybe people can request whatever number they want and if not they are going in order

Congrats, looks like it will be right at home with the other 2 Lawlor games. I like the Jack and Coke in the pic, best way to play pinball is sipping on a drink in my opinion!

Are any of you other current DI owners going to contact JJP to get steel protectors? I contacted them to see if they will send them to me. I wonder if they will be a PITA to install? I haven't eyeballed under the PF what it will take to install them. Honestly I was a little disappointed they weren't on there and that I will have to add them myself I guess the bright side of it is it sounds like he has them made up or will have them soon and all future production units will get them and he will send to current owners.

Does anyone's machine have a rubber sleeve on this post? Mine doesn't, it looks like it is machined for one, but wasn't on there when I got the game.

On a side note, the more and more I learn about this game, I like it even more! There is so much to it, last night I discovered there is a switch behind the rubber in the drone area; before I thought it was just the standup target. I really like the skill shot how it's not the typical three lanes over pop bumpers that's been done a million times before, but is a true skill shot where you have to plunge just right, if not the ball will either go up the ramp or backfeed into the pops, took me a little bit to "dial in," pun inteneded, my shot, but I can hit it pretty consistently now, if I plunge a little too soft there is rubber and I believe a post and I can usually nudge it in for the skill shot.

I really think Pat and JJP hit a home run with this one. There is so much to this game and it's not even a widebody! To tell you how good it is, my girlfriend used to be into pinball, but lost interest a couple years back. I got a NIB Aerosmith premium a few weeks ago, which I like, but she hasn't played a single game on it yet, but she keeps to telling me to add her in when I start a game of Dialed In! As a matter of fact we are already planning a showdown on it this afternoon.

LOL, might have to have that kind of a showdown also

I'll have to look at my TZ and see if it has that post, I don't remember it being there, but I could be wrong. I didn't think it was supposed to, but thought someone may have missed it at the factory.

Ok, thanks for the quick responses guys!

Check this out what happened last night. I almost started freaking out because the glass would only come down so far then the ball would wedge in there and prevent the glass from coming down anymore. We ended up having to lift the front of the game up really high then while it was up I pulled the glass down as far as it would go then I slid it back up real quick to get the ball loose. I think the metal guard wires aren't adjusted up high enough or I think it would have prevented this from happening.

I was thinking the same thing that rubber there would make bounce outs even worse. It looks a little weird, doesn't really bother me, but I'm definitely leaving it without a post sleeve since that is how Pat wanted it. Thanks to everyone that confirmed there is not supposed to be a sleeve there.

Daaaaang!! That's a heck of a score, that game must have lasted a half hour! Is Armageddon after you go through all of the modes and collect all of the sim cards?

Thanks for bringing this up! I changed it in my settings and it's awesome!! It's explained a couple posts down from this, but it's under coil settings where you make the adjustment. I suggest others do it to unlock the super cool backwards ball toss in the theater; I was impressed.

You can choose which disaster you want using the flippers before going in the phone scoop when the phone is lit. I just noticed this last night, another member posted about it today also and I tried it out at lunch. It's a little difficult to do though because the left flipper moves the "selector" clockwise and the right flipper moves counter clockwise, or vice versa, and you have to account for the flip you will flip when you hit the ball into the scoop. I may be missing something, but this is what I noticed today when I tried it out. Also, I wasn't very far in the game and there were only 5 disasters to choose from so it's not like you can choose from all the disasters doing it this way, maybe you can on the app, but I'm doubting it.

Ok so the app sounds like playing traditionally as far as choosing disasters. Nope, you can select with the flippers, in a way I wish it would give you an option to choose which mode you want to play when you go in the scoop, but I kind of like the randomness also. I don't like how you have to "plan" a little bit if you want to choose a disaster, but that might get easier the more I do it and the more familiar I get with it.

I had a problem where the ball would get stuck behind the trap door on a ball launch. the game would ball search and the trap door would twitch, but not drop all the way down to release the ball so I had to get 2 magnets to free the ball. I sent an email about this to techsupport@jerseyjackpinball, no response for 2 days, sent them a follow-up email and still haven't heard back, it's been about 8 days now.

Jen, i'm glad to see I'm not the only person that does work-related stuff on Saturdays I have forwarded you the email that I sent about my trap door along with some info on the balls I got with my game.

Thanks for being on top of this and providing customer service on the weekend.

I didn't receive a reply email; checked my junk mail also. I did see you respond to the other guy having the same issue and I can try that.

So sorry to see this ABF freight decided to start the unboxing process for me also. When it was wheeled up my sidewalk I could see the backbox decal, my heart sank. Somehow they didn't scratch the decal, but just punched a hole in the box. They also mashed in the back of the box, it smeared the warning label ink and put a couple small dents in the wood.

I wasn't downvoting him or his post, but rather the freight company and the damage to his game, how disappointing. I cleared my downvote because I can see how it caused confusion. Nothing but best wishes for Zava, wonder if he got a replacement game or when he's supposed to?

They are damn good! They (Lloyd and Jen) were responding to and giving me tech advice on a weekend last Saturday. Just another thing that sets JJP apart in my opinion.

I can say the balls suck they are sending out. They are supposed to be "mirror" polished. Only 1 of the 5 balls I got with the game were shiny. I contacted JJP, they sent out 4 more balls, they were a little better, but not like the mirror polish balls you buy from pinball life or one of the other parts places. Some of the balls they sent the 2nd time had light pitting starting, very small black spots that would turn into rust pretty quickly. I ran them through my tumbler for 24 hours and they polished up ok, but once again not like bought mirror polished balls. I just hand picked the best ones and threw them in the game.

so I wonder what JJP plans to do for those that have chipping behind the post that is to the left of the sim card hole? This seems to be a potential issue since multiple cases have been reported. I will have to check mine when I get home tonight, hopefully it isn't chipped and I guess we are supposed to turn down the upper right flipper power to help prevent this from happening?
