I'm confident that they will take it back. But if they don't, I'll buy that sucker off you. I'll get the correct bolts sent to support the PF and send a truck. I'm not scared to fix that thing.

They carry that Lemax stuff at Michael’s. Being July, they probably have Halloween stuff out already. If not, they definitely will by August, and you can find all that stuff in the stores.

Happy to report that as of yesterday I am a member of this club. First order of business was to remount the Crypt VUK according to the Stern pdf and that sucker works flawlessly now.

Couldn't be easier. Took maybe 5 minutes. I didn't even use anything to measure. Just move it down and align the existing hole like the picture. It's unreal how much that slight tweak frees up that kickout.

Mine has a build date of June 11, 2020, and it only had the original mounting.

That was a common issue on TWD. Board had to be replaced. Email Pablo.

That looks really good. I think I am going to have to order it.

I’ve owned EHOH for a week, but I spent the first few days tweaking and dialing it in. Didn’t get a chance to play much this week. But tonight? Tonight is the night I dug in and learned the rule set and fell in love.

And it doesn’t matter, either way. Lyman wrote code for Data East Star Wars in his basement for years and they pushed an update he did for a 20 year old pin from a defunct company.

I want the side armor, if I can find it. Haven’t seen it in stock anywhere.

Just follow the Stern pdf and adjust the position of the VUK from underneath it as shown. It completely fixes the issue.

I don't remember what size the original ring there is, but you just go up one size.

Just looked back at what all I ordered and at the manual. It comes from Stern with a 1” ring on there. Bump up to a 1 1/4” and it fixes the SDTM issues. Did on mine.

It does seem to be a little bit of a persnickety game. But nothing is a deal breaker or really all that hard to correct, if you do run into one of the three or four common issues. I sold my Stranger Things Premium to get my EHOH, and ST was FAR more difficult to dial in and address the issues it had (TK lock alone is more troublesome than all of EHOH). EHOH might be the most level-demanding pin I have ever seen. Level and pitch seem to clear up the majority of issues. I do recommend finding and following the Stern pdf for VUK repair, which requires removing a couple of screws, turning the mech about 1/2 an inch and then tightening back down - IF you have issues with the VUK being weak.

Are the side rails in stock anywhere? I do want those. But I don’t like the feel of anything other than the standard, stock shooter knob.

You want to trade that Deadpool Premium?

If anyone else is looking for a topper, you might want to call Cointaker and talk to Melissa. Like right now.

Supposed to be a new wave of the side armor sometime between now and March.

I feel attacked by this.

Not only did I snag a topper from Cointaker this morning, I just got the text and FedEx already has the bastard and will deliver it this weekend. That's some service, buddy.

I scored one from Cointaker, and it sits atop my EHOH as we speak

The speaker lights are the LE conversion kit from Doug, with red rings.

Think it over. You leave the club and you’re just going to be back outside wanting back in.

I totally get it. I just had to make room for Deadpool, and had to make that tough call. Sold my Scared Stiff that I really didn’t want to have to sell.

I’ve had it a week and it’s gotten more play in the house in that time than any machine I have ever owned. I’m pretty sure that the ultimate lineup of Sterns is now: EHOH, DP, GZ

This is an oddity. Posted an emoji in this thread, then deactivated his account. Huh.

Deadpool has been getting all my love this past week or so. In fact, I got my EHOH topper installed just minutes before DP showed up, and I didn’t even throw a single game on her. Stepped up just now and threw down a game that saw me cycle Gappa Angry twice, locking all 6 the second time around (which was the 1st time ever for me) and then on to Director’s Cut for the first time. I take this tiny sample as evidence that the topper makes you ply better. YMMV. What a fantastic game.

They will sell every single one they produce. Just like every ounce of gasoline will sell at inflated prices. The world went and got itself expensive.

That's, uh, one way to put Lyman's exodus.

I love my EHOH, but it is a finicky bitch. Surely they will manage to get the VUK mounted correctly on this batch, which is the simple and sure fix for that kickout angle issue. But the Operator Errors at the basement are a real pain. Dial it in and leave it alone. Don’t move it. Don’t dicker with the pitch. Just leave it be.

That VUK has been misaligned from the factory floor since the first run. I don’t get it. But that shot was absolutely always supposed to go out to the stand ups directly across from the eject. A half-inch twist and reinstall of the upkick mech underneath is all it takes to make it right.
