Quoted from Whysnow:What the hell are you waiting for Dave???!!!!???
You love that game!! Go get it before Mark decides to add his first newer Stern to his lineup
You missed the part where his son would be upset.... Disappointing as a friend is fine, dissapointing as a father is something his kids shouldn't be subjected to for at least another couple of years.... (Oh god, the internetz isn't going to allow the dripping sarcasm/ball busting to translate clearly, sorry in advance Dave)...
As far as Mark goes, he told me about 15 games ago he was on his last one for awhile....
Dialing in a TF LE takes quite a bit of work and research, so $4800 is a great deal for someone. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with mine, but it's a really fun game -- tons of shots, great art, nice sound package.
Go get it!

What do i need to dial in? This is the most stock game in my collection. Other than new balls and leg protectors it had all the fixes from stern out of the box(magneto eject cover ect). So what am I missing the game plays amazing currently.

Washers in the Megatron trough to keep the balls from getting stuck, adjustments to Optimus to adjust sensitivity so that weaker shots register, removal of the gate for ironhide and changing the setting to register when ball enters mini-playfield. Most of them are subtle differences, but really make the game a little more flowy and fun.
I have also added mylar to where the ball lands in the shooter lane and removed the metal washers in the slings and replaced them with clear....
Still haven't had a chance to get pics up yet.... Hopefully tonight (although it looks almost exactly like the pics turbo20lbs posted in his link)....
Quoted from DEWSHO:Me too!
Like I mentioned earlier, I just need to sell a few toys, not all of them, so I very well may end up keeping Transformers (which would be awesome)..... I just have so many different things going on, it really is going to be the timing of the garage build and what toys are around. My other toys need some work (or a lot of work) before selling them, Transformers needs nothing and is an easy sell...
If I listed this machine like I do with all of my other ones, I would have it listed at $4600 and it would be gone already. I really am trying not to sell it (I would rather get through my other projects and move those), but also want someone to feel like they got a fair deal if they want it right now.

I don't want to derail the FS thread but there are several threads here on these issues. If your game was dialed in out of the box, that's a good thing. Many owners weren't so lucky and had to remedy some issues. TFs that weren't dialed in turned off many players.
But this one sounds problem free! Good luck!
Edit: I'm assuming you mean Megatron and not Magneto. Otherwise you're in the wrong thread. 
Quoted from ralphwiggum:As far as Mark goes, he told me about 15 games ago he was on his last one for awhile....
Well....never say never
Got a few on the short list....waiting for the right one to come along.
BTW - as everyone has said, I would buy all my pins from Tim if possible, A++ seller.
Quoted from Whysnow:I'll even give you a hand picking it up if you want (sat morn works well for me)
I appreciate the offer but i am going to try to exercise some restraint right now. 
Just bought one for $4700, I had to pull the trigger quick or it would have sold. Once you go to $4700, I bet this sellers instantly. I don't care how bad the game is for $4700-$4800 it is well worth it. This is an LE baby and it time to roll with the rich people!!!!!!!
Quoted from thedarkknight77:don't care how bad the game is for $4700-$4800
it's not a bad game, though.
Quoted from davewtf:it's not a bad game, though.
Agreed. Great game in great shape.
It's official, the bubble haz burst. Either that or it's June.
The buyer base for games going over 2k is far different than the buyer base with those looking for games under 2k, no doubt. I have had a lot of trade offers (good ones too), but nothing in the outright sales department that didn't require shipping (not really an option as of this minute)....
Finally took some pics....(Surprise, it looks like a TFLE)... I can do closeups pics of anything anyone wants, but it would be anything but eventful, just a really nice HUO TFLE....

Tim's sells him games in matters of minutes so I am surprised that this is still here. Someone's going to get a great game soon!
I played this game at Tim's on Sunday and it's phenomenal. If I wasn't between houses at the moment I would have seriously considered taking it off his hands. The game is crazy fast and plays perfectly.
As everyone else has already pointed out, you can't find a better seller than Tim. Be forewarned though, his carpet will try and hypnotize you into buying this game.
Quoted from ralphwiggum:I can do closeups pics of anything anyone wants
I bet you would... 
I should buy this but I'm afraid I'll turn into "crazy dave" if I have five games set up at once. You wanna come get my MM for refurbishment/shop out if i buy this? 
Dave> I wil store any of your games temporarily if needed. They will come back cleaner than when they left and likely with 1/2 as many plays as you would have put on them in the same time

You can buy it and have Tim drop it off at my place if it makes you feel better. Out of sight, out of mind!

LOL..... Is there a non-crazy Dave that exists?

Look at this awesome support system around you Dave.... A lot of supportive guys here
Quoted from jarjarisgod:You can buy it and have Tim drop it off at my place
you think he'll deliver at that price?
Quoted from ralphwiggum:LOL..... Is there a non-crazy Dave that exists?
ok, there's crazy dave and crazier dave
Quoted from davewtf:ok, there's crazy dave and crazier dave
I'm afraid to ask which one I am.

If Tim continues with these "close up" pics of anything anyone wants he will be back in the hoosgow for sure...plus, he ain't German, so there will be nothing big to look foreward to...
Quoted from ralphwiggum:Looks like we will call this one tentatively sold... Thanks everyone for all the offers...
Come to Daddy!! Thanks Tim for a great deal!
Quoted from DuckBrian:Come to Daddy!! Thanks Tim for a great deal!
Congrats on a great game !
Also , congrats to a awesome start on your collection ! You have some killer games ! Stern would be proud!
Quoted from Deaconblooze:I'm afraid to ask which one I am.
Crazy Dave and Crazier Dave are both me, Dave. Kinda like before and after.
Congrats on the sale, Tim. I have non-buyers remorse right now. 
Quoted from ronlisa:Congrats on a great game !

Thanks! We are building our Stern room first in our bar and then will open up another room for some B/W games and our BBH World upright vid. Expensive hobby!
