Stern, 2016Quoted from Meph:Just got notification that my GB Pro from Cointaker left Sunbury, PA tonight at 4:30pm. Hopefully I can pick it up in Syracuse tomorrow morning. A fellow collector in Buffalo had his GB Pro arrived today from a different distributor, so Pro machines are shipping again at the same time as the LEs.
Just shows ya that Stern can crank out the games when they want to.
Quoted from pninja005:Don't the Prem/LE have the Hotwheels ecto 1 factory installed?
Negatory.
Quoted from Bay78:Ah man, I've been looking for those Ghostbusters hot wheels cars everywhere and can't find them. I've tried numerous Wal-mart's as well. Awesome that you found some and enjoy your LE!
Walmart, Amazon, etc all have them online to order.
After a bunch of production delays and being too far down the backorder list, I changed distributors and I have a Pro! All there is left to do is schedule the delivery. I can't wait to get this thing!
Quoted from jar155:Put in art blades and speaker lights. They both look great!
I love those speaker inserts and green lights! Anybody know if a green DMD is available somewhere that could be swapped in?
Quoted from SteveMan:I love those speaker inserts and green lights! Anybody know if a green DMD is available somewhere that could be swapped in?
Yes this ^^^^^^^^^^
I would like to know where to get a green dmd as well.
Glad to see many people getting their LE's !!!
I paid for mine in full months ago with Trent @ Tilt. I ordered it the day it was announced. Trent has been telling me only people who purchased special numbers are getting theirs right now (besides overseas customers) - is that the case? Has anyone in the US received their GBLE's who *didn't* purchase a custom plaque number?
Quoted from zucot:Anyone know if Dwight's talk at CAX is being streamed?
Don't cross the streams!

I ordered mine from Trent just like you and was told the same thing. 
Oh well, at least the Youtube videos will help curb my appetite.
I don't have a special number and got mine almost two weeks ago. I don't think my distro did any special numbers.
Quoted from Indypin:I ordered mine from Trent just like you and was told the same thing. Oh well, at least the Youtube videos will help curb my appetite.
Yeah, I think it might be because Trent is a very small dealer.. not sure what's up with that, because Kermit's post definitely conflicts with Trent's information and from what I have seen with other people getting their GB LE's.
His latest info was that this Friday Stern was going to do their "main" production run for GB LE's I guess.. at this point, I just wish Stern would give out info direct, because every distributor has a different story and I would rather get my information from the horses mouth.
Quoted from kermit24:I don't have a special number and got mine almost two weeks ago. I don't think my distro did any special numbers.
I thought so. Thanks and congrats!
Quoted from golfingdad1:Yes this ^^^^^^^^^^

You can buy a color dmd and set it to green.
I dunno, might be just me, but with all the talk and rumors about running changes in production, I'd want the highest production number available. Even the last one of the assembly line might be more desirable than the first.
Quoted from kpg:Yeah, I think it might be because Trent is a very small dealer..
Uh.....Trent is the largest distributer of Stern games.
Last night I got an email that my GB Pro had shipped. I checked the tracking and it said it was picked up in Sunbury PA (Cointaker) last night. At 7:20 this morning it updated that it was at destination in Syracuse. I called the shipping company and picked it up early this morning. The build date on it is July 9th.

Quoted from Chippewa-Pin:Walmart, Amazon, etc all have them online to order.
Yes they do, but sadly not for retail price. I want them but not for $30 or $40. I want for the retail of $5. But I'd pay ten but I know wishful thinking....
Quoted from Air_Pinball:Uh.....Trent is the largest distributer of Stern games.
No he is not. According to Stern's sales guy when I talked to him Pinballs.com/Automated and Game Room Guys were their top distributors.

Ten dollars and free shipping for both ecto cars at Walmart :

Looks like free shipping is gone. Glad I ordered when I did. Still can pick up in store.

I clicked on the link and it came up as $26.95 plus $6.95 shipping weird. Anyway I'm still hoping to find one at or close to retail price. If not life goes on. I appreciate the effort and link though
Quoted from TheLaw:New balls is all you need man
Shockingly, the last three Stern's I've received (GoT/Met/GB) have all had really nice balls, almost ohhh,shiny quality. It kind of freaked me out, considering what I was used to seeing.
Quoted from dendoc:Slimer is in the house!
Is he supposed to rub his butt when he moves out from the city?
Yes it is normal for slimer to wipe his ass all over the city, just consider them slymed and not a design flaw from stern

Try this. $11.11
Thanks for the heads up Pinballlew! Just ordered one with Prime 1-click. The free shipping is really nice for picking up small items like this.

Nice! At that price might as well buy a scooby doo hippie van too! Also the link worked fine for me. Shipped to my USA address under $10USD all in. Sweet
Quoted from jar155:Dang. My shooter lane is already starting to get wear. 150 games in.
If you put Mylar down it won't get any worse.

Who cares, just play and enjoy it!

I just picked up two sets at my local Walmart. $10 each.
Quoted from jar155:Dang. My shooter lane is already starting to get wear. 150 games in.
Lol, yep.....The dangers of actually playing the game. LOL
Quoted from pninja005:Who cares, just play and enjoy it!
It worries me about the overall durability of the playfield. I've got an Iron Man and AC/DC that were both NIB with 10 times more plays on them and they show less wear.
GB LE is the most I've ever paid for a game. I would like it to stay nice or at least hold up as well as previous games.

Order a right side lane protector from cliffy. http://www.passionforpinball.com/balleject/RtEject1.JPG
Quoted from chuckwurt:If you put Mylar down it won't get any worse.
That almost looks like clear separating from the wood... impacts popping it up.
Quoted from kermit24:Thought I would share this simple adjustment that has reduced the airballs off the 2X playfield values target. I replaced the stock foam behind the target with a thicker one. Easy asjustment. This is in an LE, not sure if it is necessary on a Pro.
How do they register now?
I love the game, and think it's great, but I'm going to say something controversial. I can't help thinking I'd like it even more if the Ghostbusters theme art and toys were re-skinned on a the Walking Dead or Game of Thrones with similar rule sets... A Stay Puft Well Walker, or a battle with Zuul on the upper playfield of the Game of thrones L/E. What do you think?
Quoted from jonesjb:What do you think?
I like the unusual layout and approach to the game. I don't need a derivative or re-skinned pin. Many folks have been complaining about too many pins being similar (e.g. fan layouts, etc). Now we have something different - I love it!
I personally do t like either of those games. I hate GOT. Play real fast and hard and ... Wait... Make a decision of a stupid clan I know nothing about.... Now you can play the game again. I actually drained the rest of my game.
Quoted from MustangPaul:How do they register now?
They register fine with a ball. When I barely touch it with my finger the other target is more sensitive but it seems fine during play.
Quoted from kermit24:They register fine with a ball. When I barely touch it with my finger the other target is more sensitive but it seems fine during play.
But to be clear, this doesn't eliminate air balls. Just a little less air from that target.
Quoted from Fortytwo:I personally do t like either of those games. I hate GOT. Play real fast and hard and ... Wait... Make a decision of a stupid clan I know nothing about.... Now you can play the game again. I actually drained the rest of my game.
GOT is a game you need a primer on before you can enjoy it. You don't need to know the show.. just know what the bonuses are for each house and why you care 
The game offers a ton of strategy and huge payoffs for playing well. It's just pretty darn ugly in a lot of ways
