Stern, 2016Quoted from stpcore:That's great news and I really appreciate you taking the time to share. I would love to get some type of an update from my distributor soon. I preordered in March but not sure in what order the preorders are being filled or how the allotments work for number of machines. Thanks again for your update!
Downvote for this post thanking a distributor for sharing shipping info?

I was wondering the same thing. lol
Quoted from Gexchange:I have some Shipping today and tomorrow. Working on reaching out to customers now.

Great to talk to you JJ, very excited for my GB Premium! For the record I placed a deposit on day 1 and was asked for final payment today.
JJ is the best and will always have my business.
All you guys getting the first batch of premiums please let us know how they look and hold up after playing the heck out of them .
It would be much appreciated, I hope the best for all.
Quoted from Air_Pinball:That's what they always say.....
This was the first time I've heard it from my distributor, who has kept pretty quiet through this whole thing.
Curious how distributors do rank - is it first who put deposit or first who paid full? I would expect the latter right?
Great to hear they're moving out though - especially with so many conflicting reports. I believe I'm 27th with my distributor which sounds like a lot in front of me but still hoping to receive soon!
Quoted from TimeBandit:Nuthin' unusual about this..
Of course, if I have an accident I WILL die, as the machine comes careening through the cabin and minces me through the steering wheel.
Just think of the very awesome last-second selfie, if you get in trouble while trying to show us more photos!
Seriously though, get home safely, get this bad boy setup, play, play, play it -then let us know how it looks/feels, and if you notice any upgrades/tweaks! i.e.: airball plastic near the left ramp, or higher outlanes etc.

I have had this thought more than once. At least the accident report would be interesting.
Is that a regular vehicle. I thought all cars in Australia were mad max like. Or is that just the desert. 
Enjoy?

Unless of course you get bitten by that Brown Recluse hiding in the packaging first. 
Quoted from cleland:I would think it's first to deposit/reserve. It only seems fair to ask for the balance when the game is ready to ship?
Deposit in March 10th....... And paid in full some time ago.
So no air ball plastic on the left ramp. Thicker upgraded wire on the centre captive ball, but I think everyone knew that. Inserts are all fine at this point.

Thicker wire or the metal captive ball reinforcement we have been seeing on the LE's? Pics

Metal plate
So I've played till I knocked factory GC off the board. That will do as a first round. Obviously not enough play to go into the issue of progressing through linear modes, so we'll leave that for another day.
Super, super fun. Lights are incredible to the point that at some stages they are so intense they do interfere with your ability to pick up the ball.
The right subway ramp is a blast!
Magna slings are a winner. Very occasionally you get that thing like a dodgey sling trigger where you think it's going to bounce off the sling but just bumps it and drains, but not often.
So, to air balls. I was getting a lot off the left ramp. I changed the flipper bat angle to normal and they pretty much stopped. Argue away good sirs, but seems to me you cut back on the angle of travel of a lever and you reduce the force imparted to a missile. You can still hit every shot with the flippers at a normal angle and that's how they are staying on my machine.
My slimer is hanging a bit on the guide above the captive ball on its way down and registers me a bonus hit.
Ecto goggles are really cool. Screen is easy to see and bright.
Crossover ramp occasionally sees a ball fly off the left end.
Pops seem really snappy. Is that a spike thing? My KISS ones seem normal.
For me, the additions over the pro are a big win. I guess I'll get into the code discussions one I've explored it a bit more.

Hmmm... Technically, unless you've changed the coil stop, or added some other kind of limiter, the distance of angular rotation would still be the same as before

Yes, true, but I'm pretty sure you send the ball from a different point on the flipper. So the end effect is that you are moving along the spectrum towards more of a backhand shot. I could be totally wrong, and I'm trying to prove myself wrong, being a scientist at heart, but seriously, they seem to have stopped.
Plus there's this.. The ball rolls off the end of the flipper. The ball is not always on the flipper for the flipper's full travel. So the coil stop position and full travel distance of the flipper is, I think, moot.
Quoted from delt31:where did you get the (LE?) slime apron from? Easy to install? How much?

Quoted from TimeBandit:First things first. Prepare slimer green apron..
I Iike your green apron but wondering if a purple apron would look better on the Premium since there isn't as much green going on in comparison the the LE? Id like to order one of your aprons in purple and give it a shot. Thanks for the pics.

I was thinking this too. The actual purple I have is too dark though. You need more of a lilac. I'm looking at colours.

Agreed. A translucent pink might be nice to match the look of pink slime.
Quoted from Arcade:Just got word my Premium should be shipping to me this Friday.
Very excited to say the least.
That's awesome, man. Great to hear!
Quoted from delt31:Great to hear and so quickly too (friday is only 2 days away). That's awesome. What distrib?
The Game Exchange of Colorado. 
Quoted from delt31:For those getting the call/delivery date - can you confirm the distributor and when you reserved and paid in full? Just curious.
Paid in full in early May.
Quoted from Arcade:I see a Premium was just delivered today in MN.
Sweet. There is hope for me yet.
