So it look like about 7-10 le games have been shipped to USA customers so far and these have been in the line for weeks ,
Not every LE owner is on Pinside.

Who got first game?
Quoted from Leachdude:
It appears to be an LE ramp.
I just don't get how a Pinball company that has designed pinball machines for years, can not figure out that a ramp flap that extends in front of the ramp will create air balls. Either they dont give a shit about are balls, or they are all a bunch of idiots.
I would think the design software should have a red flag in it for this reason an not allow the flap to extend past the ramp.
This is the same reason TWD Prem/LE airballs the left ramp. IDIOTS I SAY IDIOTS!
So I just got my LE today and set it all up and was playing great except for the air balls on the left ramp. So my friend and I took the ramp off and attached some dampening foam and 2 way tape to the ramp in between where the screws are on the ramp. Tightened it all back up and now my left ramp is smooth smooth smooth, no more air balls and no more launching. It worked for me so maybe try it.

I wish you had some pics of how to do this.

^^^^^^^Attention STERN. Please Read ^^^^^^^
Lots of small issues out of the box. I'm going to need a while to get this thing playing right. So far...
- E in the PKE doesn't work (seems to be adjustment)
- Left ramp doesn't register
- Slimer target is iffy
- Switch exiting pops to the right doesn't fire
- One-way gate gets stuck up
- Scoop was bent. First ball on the first game it got stuck. Had to bend it up.
- Scoleri target was too high and didn't sit flush with the playfield (already adjusted this down)
On the other hand, the Scoleri targets drop with even a tiny brush hit. No airballs there. The right ramp is easy to hit and smooth like butter. My wife and my 7-year old both hit it in their first games. It's seriously such an amazing looking game. Looks and sounds just flat out incredible. My wife and both of my kids were really excited by it, but I had to stop them so I can start working on the issues. I tried playing, but without the left ramp, all the rollovers, and that one-way gate working properly, it wasn't worth playing right now. A couple of hours and it'll be just fine.
Pics of some of the issues and a couple sexy shots.
Needed to adjust the left Scoleri target down.
Scoop was bent forward out of the box.
One-way gate gets stuck up.
Correct spelling!
Love me some lollipops.
That ramp is beautiful, and so are the toys.
The game is a stunner.

I know I should have taken pics when I was doing it. It's pretty easy, undo the 2 ramp screws on the underside of the pf, then the top ramp screws. Than stick the dampening foam or alternative between the 2 ramp screws that go through the pf just to raise it a bit. Just seems to make my ramp flap not so steep.

Thanks for the explanation I think a get what you were going for now.
Quoted from Concretehardt:

20' it's the minimum amount they will sell.

Would have waited at least 50 games if not a 100 before I did this, probably needs a little breaking in games going to play fast out of box just like right after you wax.

I would guess you have a little left over .

Green T-Molding is great. Congrats..
Quoted from RVApinballer:
On the LE yes. Can anyone confirm on Pros?
Hey there compadre? Yes, we are missing an "e" in "reinforcement"
If anyone buys the green t molding is there enough for 2 games with the 20 feet? anyone want to sell me there extra if there is. Shipping on that site is high for canadians, or anyone in canada want to go splits?
Quoted from golfingdad1:

1 game will take 12', so if someone wanted enough to do two games and split the order 25' should do it.

I just measured the t mouldings on my METLE and it is just over 9 feet with the corner overlaps so an order of 20' should easy do two games. Or is the head for GBLE different dimensions?
Quoted from jar155:
Pic of my highest score so far...
Is that picture of the new ghost trap?
Joking aside, I'm close to wrapping up the issues. Can't wait to play it fully. It's such a great shooter.

Were your air balls happening when hitting the ramp flush or from hitting the left side of it then hitting the target and the small amount of lift off the edge along with the impact of the target sending it into orbit??
I can't see how this would fix it if that's your problem. I could easily be wrong though.
Quoted from Flato:
On the green t molding is it identical in color to the trim?
If you get the bright green, yes it is.
Quoted from pinchamp:

They are entirely different back boxes.

Yes they are different, my GB Pro is 6ft for each side so I had to buy 15ft of the clear that I put the rgb led strip into.
Quoted from MrBellMan:
All that LE green trim looks nice, but how about hot pink? Now that's what I'm talking about! Huge shout out to Bryan Kelly for referring me to Matt at Back Ally Creations and an even bigger shout out to Matt!
I like it! Matches the pink slime perfectly!

Figured out how to fix the worst of this. It wasn't actually the corner most of the time but the drop target. It was just slightly raised so when there was a hard hit it was flying through the air into the target next to the ramp causing air balls off the target bounce. I still get a bit of ball play off that target but it is far less than before.
Quoted from jehagen:
My LE just arrived #2, can't wait to play
Did you pay extra for #2?
Quoted from frolic:
booyah. Congrats. An LE # that means something.
what exactly does a low number mean in the pinball world? besides more chances for things to be wrong?
Quoted from CaptainNeo:

It stands out - enough said
What does the first of anything really mean? It's just cool to think about
Quoted from CaptainNeo:

Did you just enter the pinball world? Le numbered plaques are not screwed on in order of production. It's just luck how they come out. Number doesn't mean it was the second game on the line. But it's cool to land that number. More power to him.
I did have to pay a little more, it was the last one they had. I didn't care about the number sequence.
Quoted from frolic:

#2 means something alright
Quoted from MustangPaul:
The only plaque where numbers really mean anything are the ones on the Refineries games.
TBL has true serial #'s

just saying. Pinball is completely the opposite of other collector worlds. In pinball, you never want the first one off the line. first one means you get all the problems they didn't figure out until later.
