My distro says they are making more

My distro says they have toppers on order. Pretty sure there will be one more run of them for the final run of the game.

#6567 1 year ago

LOL. if one distro is going to get some then they all are. Doesnt really matter which one I buy through.

Has anyone added the spinners and loaded the premium code on a pro with any luck? Lame they took the spinners out of the Pro

#6751 1 year ago

Cointaker says Monday now. Seems like the slight delay due to parts is true, but thats ok. Still we’re almost there!

#6777 1 year ago

Do Pro’s only come with the playfield support pegs and not the normal slide rails like on the premium?

#6779 1 year ago

Such a goofy way to save 20 bucks. Guess I’ll order a set of “real” rails from pinballlife too

#6784 1 year ago

Mine is shipping today, waiting on tracking from Melissa

#6787 1 year ago

Received my tracking from Cointaker a bit ago.

#6790 1 year ago
Quoted from Stugots:

Does your tracking number have an ETA?

Right now shows wednesday, but I bet it gets pushed to Thursday

#6794 1 year ago

FedEx called! Delivery scheduled for Thursday!

#6799 1 year ago

I am all wet behind the chops for this game. 48 hrs will tell the tale

#6824 1 year ago

FedEx frieght due any minute with my Pro

#6827 1 year ago

The eagle has landed

Quoted from mcvetyty:

Eh, I'd hold off... The novelty will fade. I was once also eager to upgrade all of my machines with IC when I first got my Godzilla, and after 3 months, I find myself never even logging into Godzilla anymore - even with home team. You're welcome in advance for the money saved!

All my games have them and I dread it when I forget to logon!

#6873 1 year ago

I love this game

#6877 1 year ago

Really digging this game, it’s a lot of fun. I was shocked how it’s basically Metallica. But thats ok, it’s a whole new game with the theme and Metallica is a solid shooting flow so its all good.

#6901 1 year ago

I’m curious how many plays are on that game

#6913 1 year ago
Quoted from gliebig:

How many who ordered through CT are still waiting on shipping? I paid up on 9/27.

Reach out and ask them. Maybe it shipped and is waiting at the terminal for you to call and schedule delivery

#6933 1 year ago
Quoted from solid_snake:

Mine arrived a few days ago. Quick question before I set it up:
Does anyone recommend any sort of leg/leg bolt protectors? I've never used anything before, just the stock stern bolt/washer.
I see a bunch of options on PinballLife (PinGuard protectors etc), and I have my cart ready to check out with a shaker, gotg art blades, spare balls, so was just wondering if there is any need for leg protectors before I submit the order.
Thanks in advance.

Your game has spacer leg protectors installed already. No need for anything additional. In fact, many of those aftermarket "protectors" will cause damage.

#6967 1 year ago
Quoted from Pinball-Obsessed:

More mods on my new Guardians…
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Please do me a favor. Please remove those “leg protectors” they will ruin your decals. Unnecessary as Stern already installed leg spacers.

#6979 1 year ago

How do you get Cherry Bomb multiball? I got it yesterday and it was fun and all but I didn’t know how I did it

#7002 1 year ago

Stern should be ashamed of themselves for those shit ass pegs. What a horrible way to save a couple pennies on a multi-thousand dollar game. It was the first thing I replaced too. Proper rails are much needed.

#7034 1 year ago

My recent NIB from the last run, the magnet has worked perfect every time. I am about 100 games in on the machine

#7050 1 year ago
Quoted from bigguybbr:

I made a video to help others see how your orb lock and magnet should work. You can see in slow motion that the ball passes the magnet and snaps back.

Nice video! The key seems to be proper bounce off the right post rubber so it go towards the magnet. Mine works exactly the same. The level of the game left to right would be critical for this. I am running titan stern posts on my game.

Quoted from dboeren:

Thanks to all that replied, I'm going to try to find a nearby Guardians to play as it sounds like this will be a better fit for us than Turtles.

Guardians is a million times better than Turtles. Turtles is a steaming pile of cow flop

I'd look at syncing it to the orb color.

Is your Orb thingy ready???? Mikey wants one!

I’ve upgraded my side armor with gold instead of the flat black. I think it’s an improvement. thoughts?

#7325 1 year ago

Yep screwed on!

I found the gold armor still in stock at Marco last summer, those never sold as well as the black ones. The gold ones are hideous but I didn’t care since I was going to powder them anyways. But I think they are sold out everywhere now. Search, you might get lucky.

#7341 1 year ago
Quoted from goldsmid:

ok - that is good to know and makes me feel better that there is not a code issue. I am on a premium.
I am going to try and factory reset the code and see if that makes a difference. it is super frustrating to not be able to access this shot. I hope there is not a hardware issue. I will try it and come back with results.
Thank you all!!

Are you holding down the left flipper WHILE you shoot the ball? Has to be held while the ball is being launched up around the orbit. Hold it a long time while you shoot the ball.

#7382 1 year ago

That chipping in the shooter lane is pretty normal and no big deal. Most if not all my games have it. Just play and enjoy. Despite the few 1% of people who nitpick over shooter lanes. No one else really cares………..

#7386 1 year ago
Quoted from Yesh23:

Why not use protection in the shooter lane (clear shooter lane protector, mylar, Cliffy, adjust the strength of the coil/many options)? If you don't do anything, it's going to get worn. It could be a few hundred games, a 1000's games, or something. I don't get it, it's a pinball machine to be played. That's like having unprotected sex with a hooker and being shocked if you get an STD.

I prefer to break my games virginity rather than save it for someone else.
One time out of 50 have I ever had someone ask for pictures of the shooter lane and one time out of 50 have I ever just not responded and sold it a couple days later……no one cares
