Quoted from SadSack:

Does ghosted inserts reduce the machine's revenue collection on location? I think you all misunderstand what a pinball machine's acceptable quality level is. They are NOT built to be collectible. Their function is to generate revenue in a commercial environment. When collectors buy more than ops/locations, things might change, but as it is now, operators are unwilling to wait or pay more for higher quality.

Quoted from 27dnast:

I had to go and look at my shooter lanes. My WOZ looks like Birch... TWD looks like Maple... ACDC looks like Birch....IM pro looks like maple.
LOL.
Who the hell knows.

Quoted from LadySlingshot:

I'm just curious, how are you coming to that "2-3 years" number? No way to measure that with hundreds, if not thousands, of NIB pins sold each year...I get your point about people not knowing what they are getting themselves into and quickly leaving the hobby for something safer that requires less maintenance, but still no way to measure that number.

Quoted from vid1900:

My girlfriend says I can often be very emotionally detached, so it's not just you.

Quoted from LadySlingshot:

Everyone who is on a GB LE should be worried. The issue has popped up on the first GB LE made and their manufacturing process hasn't changed. Safe to say all of those pins will develop the issue, no? The real question is, what will Stern do about it?

Quoted from someoneelse:

Back on topic - look what a fellow pinhead in Germany experienced while unboxing his new GB LE...a new highlight from Sterns QC department...

Quoted from PeterG:

I'm very sorry for you, but join the club. I feel your anger. Maybe stern will listen maybe not, they are looking into the problem is what I got. I decided to play the hell out of it, as it is a fun game. Hopefully stern will come with new playfield song for all of us. To all still waiting on their machine. Take a gamble or cancel your order to be sure. I think if you want to sure just wait a year and get a premium...I for sure will never ever buy an LE on the conditions I had with GB.

Quoted from multibrawlr:

Luckily T7 came up with a fix for that.

Quoted from pinballrockstar:

Man this ghosting thing sucks..i was really looking forward to picking up my gble at my distro's after my vacation.
Now i am afraid to f@cking unpack the machine.
Why ghostbusters?!It is such an epic machine..
Me sad...

Quoted from o-din:

One of the most over used phrases on the internet. I never hear somebody say "meh" in real life.

Quoted from MapleSyrup:

I've got a GBle awaiting pickup. I'm out of town for a few weeks, but will pick up the machine when I get back.
I will check to see what's happening with my inserts... But I'm really not that concerned.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

Dear Stern,
Henceforth, please send all defective machines to MapleSyrup. He's really not that concerned, so it's not like you'll have to answer any calls about it or anything. Thanks.
Much Love,
Boob.

Quoted from Darscot:

Can we please ban this idiots IP address and please if you have any respect for Pinside do not click that link. Maybe he will finally just fuck off when he gets 0 hits from his posting.

Quoted from jar155:

I got a shipment notification from UPS from Stern Pinball. Looks like things are happening, BUT the shipment weight says only 10 pounds. Am I getting an empty box? If so, I'm going to be really irritated.

Quoted from JimB:

My PDI single glass weighed this much:
23 lbs / 10.43 kgs
A play field should be much more no?

Quoted from AstonEnthusiast:

Received the box for our damaged LE play field today. Had Aerosmith LE on order, but cancelled due to quality concerns. And my wife's never ending nagging about how much these pins cost and the issues out of the box. Although it took 8 months to resolve our GBLE play field concerns, we are very thankful to our distributor and Stern for standing behind the manufacturing defects. Just wish my wife didn't google "Aerosmith quality concerns" as she insisted we pull the plug on our LE order until the quality concerns subside.

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

Did you not see the flyer they posted that had ghosting Aerosmith inserts?

Quoted from Rarehero:

So, no, I've never said I don't like complicated rules. That's what you said to passive-aggressively infer I'm a dopey dope who only likes da stoopid games for dum-duns.

Quoted from J85M:

English might not be his first language? If it is then I agree he needs to go back to school

Quoted from TouchingEvil:

Sorry! But im not from us, but i think stern will be better when gary retierd.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Haven't these people noticed that I never respond to them any more? Amazing that the people who I've had on ignore are still thinking about me. Creeps.
