From videos the LE looks like same kind of gameplay feel as WOZ did to me but with one less upper playfield. Im hoping somebody does a Standard video soon and it plays faster but with that center scoop i dont feel its going to be able to play as fast as i prefer. MET might be a fan layout but its still the king of flow out of rock pins to me without seeing a Standard yet. GnR2 is the king of light shows by far though and will be hard to beat until the next JJP. Wonder what those lightsabers look like when playing in the dark compared to pin stadiums mounted facing down? Looking forward to Kevins stream tonight!

Looking over the game the Gibson head will need some kind of protector to not smash that nice front edge with air balls, similar to WOZ spinning house playfield edge did.

#2631 3 years ago
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

I think it will be fine. Not the best pic, but there are metal ball guides coming off of the guitar head that should prevent any airballs from getting to the wood.
[quoted image]

Im referring to the upper edge. One good airball and smash city. I didnt think WOZ would do it either but it did it alot, suck to have a 10k toy with a dent right in your face everytime you play. Be worth a mod guy to make some kind of protection.

#2634 3 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

Front edge is already protected.

I was going off your picture actually. I see the lower protection but whats protecting the top edge? If theres something there that im not seeing sorry just dont want you guys to have dented headstocks since its so nice looking

#2638 3 years ago
Quoted from Valorguy:

Why not wrap it in saran wrap (The one without the printing on it). Then you can peel and pull and adjust as needed.

LOL! hey whatever floats your boat. I have 6 guitars and i know how much i hate when one gets any scratches or dents and how WOZ edge looked after hundred plays or so. Sorry for trying to look out for the most noticeable nicest looking piece on the game.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

Let's move on to dimples. Someone get that low angle, with the light just right....
How do you enjoy this hobby with such worries? I admit that manufacturing defects are a concern, but ball wear is... Ball wear. I laugh when I see plastic chunks fly across the pf. That means I'm taking the fun to a new level! Dents mean you've put some miles on your machine, badges of Honor. It's all perspective.

i wasnt referring to the actual flat playfield, i was talking about this edge.

Quoted from Psw757:

That may need a cliffy just for all the balls that will be rolling over that edge over time. As many as 6 at a time, I would think it will eventually erode.

Id be more worried about air balls then balls rolling over it. Doesnt anybody remember WOZ spinning house playfield.

#2646 3 years ago

damn double post, lol!

#2650 3 years ago
Quoted from Psw757:

So what is the ball hitting that creates the airballs your concerned about?
Only thing I see is a scoop but that doesn’t appear to deflect balls straight up if it even can cause an Airball at all.
I think a cliffy would prevent all potential issues.

A cliffy would prevent issues. Im thinking during the massive amount you will be in multiball when 2 balls smash each other and one flies up and hits that bare edge and dents it, id hate for that to happen! Think about how loud and hard balls jump up and hit glass sometimes now imagine the ball hitting a bare edge like that. Just trying to look out for you guys cause when it happens it will be right in your face everytime you play. I hated that my WOZ did it.

#2660 3 years ago
Quoted from Guinnesstime:

I'm not sure if you're a guitar player, if you are, you would recognize a broken Gibson headstock is more authentic.

Made me chuckle, thanks! Yeah ive been known to play alittle guitar. I got the exact same headstock and its alittle banged up. I prefer my Strat over it though just has silky smooth action to it. One of my life long friends is grabbing a GnR and i just know he would hate for any dents to happen like WOZ did is why i said anything.

Heres what i heard from somebody that works for a distributor so dont shoot the messenger, lol! April 2021 for LEs. CEs after a run of SEs from now until then. Sorta makes sense cause that would be 100 CEs per month with low production due to pandemic. I think its best thing that could happen for you LE guys cause possibly these LEs and SEs out already are old playfields and by April you LE guys will have Hobbit solid playfields, hopefully! Dont hold me to the date im just repeating what i was told.

#4541 3 years ago
Quoted from nicoy3k:

so they are going to make CEs with inferior playfields? Is it confirmed that there is an old batch of "inferior" playfields in stock and that better ones are coming? Sounds pretty shady of JJP to do that if they knew that they have a superior playfield coming.

I have no idea really about playfields i was just repeating what i was told on when LEs would start shipping again by somebody i believe. Personally i would be super pissed if i bought a CE and got a shitty playfield and that would definitly be shady on JJP but isnt it shady that they put out inferior playfields already if there really is "spectrum" playfields on the way? Then to cover the issue up with washers is shady also in my opinion. Has anybody removed a washer yet?

When i recieved my SE yesterday the front decal right by the lock down bar had some bubbles in it. I just pushed them out no issue. Otherwise game showed up as it should. Do get a few stuck balls coming out of the pops into right orbit that im going to have to remedy.
