Foo Fighters (Pro)
Stern, 2023Just ordered a Premium from ClassicGameRooms and paid in full. Totally agree that the Pro is awesome for this title. I just got the Premium so I’d have no regrets later. The difference is similar to that on Deadpool - Pro and Premium are both great. Everyone’s a winner.

Where’d you get the money for that? 
Quoted from beltking:I’m getting this made up since sterns not selling them. From guy overseas.

How much? Can you share the source?

Time frame estimate there? I'm hoping to pay them by Friday

PM sent. I’m in.
Quoted from Black_Knight:Where’d you get the money for that?
Haha, thanks for making it possible buddy! Aerosmith is going to a very good home. My rock row is intact though, with Rush Premium, Led Zep Premium, Metallica and now Foo Premium.

He said I may be in on the first run, so I’m hoping for May. But I’ve had first-run issues in the past, so it won’t break my heart if I don’t get mine until August.
Second FF I’ve played on route, and second one with the rubbers missing on the little inside post on both outlanes. Are these coming from factory missing, or is this the operator removing them because neither outlane post is adjustable?

First run folks get to be the guinea pigs for the machines, but in this case second run folks will likely be guinea pigs of sorts for the new Stern factory

Normal. Deadpool is the same way.
Quoted from cookpins:So that’s intentional? They just don’t include them?
It's as designed. Here is the premium manual page for the rubber. #6 is the 7/16" ring. Note how it's only pointing to one place on the right side above the outlane, and on the left side, not pointing at all.

The pro doesn't have them on either side, wonder why the premium manual shows one on right ?
Quoted from Mitoska:The pro doesn't have them on either side, wonder why the premium manual shows one on right ?
Because the ball needs momentum on the left outlane to bounce back off the dead post.
Quoted from Jerickso77:I put rubbers on the Deadpool post and I don't think it makes it any easier. I just prefer them.
There is no scenario where adding or removing rubbers does not alter the difficulty.
I’ve felt like a high percentage of my drains have been due to those missing. The ball maintains full momentum and just rolls right around without em. Barely stand a chance.

Love! Info please?
Quoted from Doctor6:Well... order for a premium placed. Should get it by the end of the month.
Congrats buddy 
I’m really exited it’s coming soon .I have a real good feeling about where this code will go with this group .I’ve really liked every pin any of them have worked on .
Quoted from kermit24:There is no scenario where adding or removing rubbers does not alter the difficulty.
I also opened the outlanes to compensate. I wonder how outlanes closed/no rubbers compares to outlanes open/with rubbers.

Theg aren’t missing- that is how stern is shipping the game.
If someone doesn’t like the rubber configurations- change them
Ppl were complaining about the slow rolls in the right hand tight loop bouncing into the right outlane too often. So i put a rubber in on just that side.
It’s not worth all the angst over BUT WHHHY. Just play your game and adapt if needed. Share your findings…. But leave the drama somewhere else. It’s a .25c topic
I added a RULESHEET thread you Foo-Bots

Just what we needed! ANOTHER FF thread! 
I’d rather if hype thread and owners thread was merged…
Serious question: How are distributors stating that premiums have an eta of April when not a single LE has shipped yet?
Quoted from RPZ:Just what we needed! ANOTHER FF thread!

thanks bud.
This one is specific, for a specific purpose.
Some folks were saying their Rules questions were going unanswered,
so since people are talking the Deadpost to Death 46x and a few other repeats,
I felt this one additional specific one, was a good idea.
Apologies.
Quoted from parsonsaj:Joined the club yesterday with a Pro. Build date of 3/24/23…. Newest NIB I’ve ever bought. Getting that game home yesterday was the first time I’ve ever experienced the “new pinball smell” that I thought was just a myth. [quoted image]
Congrats, I had a arcade biz for a few years, and been collecting pinball on and off since '96
and this is only my second NIB.
Still super excited.
Quoted from Jamesays:Nice topper,is it available ?
Yes, I had a sign maker on Etsy make it for me. I am sure he would be willing to make more. Just shoot him a message.

Quoted from 1963BSARGS:Serious question: How are distributors stating that premiums have an eta of April when not a single LE has shipped yet?
I believe LEs have shipped or will ship by tomorrow? I thought they started them on the line last week
It should take them about two weeks to make 1000 LEs, so if premiums aren't shipping by the end of April something has gone awry

My buddy just took delivery of a pro and the date of manufacture was 03/29/2023. Not sure if that is indicative of LE production.
Just fyi I didnt see it stated. They actually do give you 2 rubbers in one of the plastic goodie bags. Take a look. Also a bummer I saw in FF Pinball Facebook group that some top acrylic on the left front ramp already broke for someone. I've seen this on all Stern front ramps (Mando, Deadpool etc) and you can no longer hit the ramp since ball will fly out. They should have solved this issue already. Well know and widespread issue. Several titles, decades mfg, fix it.
Quoted from Doctor6:Well... order for a premium placed. Should get it by the end of the month.
What changed your mind? I thought you were in on a Pro? Also, to be clear I think the Pro will be a home run.

Won’t be shipping until later next week according to Stern

As I stated previously, don't wanna miss out. Seeing the gameplay videos of the premium made me realize I'd hate to miss out on all the extras.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Can someone with a game please post a rubbers list up in this thread .Much appreciated
For the Pro machine. Not sure if Prem/LE is different.
PXL_20230406_142042768 (resized).jpgAnyone know the rules for roseell mode? There are green and orange arrows… but game doesn’t explain which is good or better or what
Quoted from flynnibus:Anyone know the rules for roswell mode?
Surprised the modes don't list the goals on screen either at select time or after selection. I have to dig into the modes today, just got the game late last night. Didn't update from factory code yet though.
