I bought mine from the Stern website day of. Got a call last Thursday (3-2-2023) asking if my address was business or residential. I answered that and that was the whole conversation. I haven't heard anything since. Insert sad face here...3-8-2023

It showed up damaged. Retuning now.. insert another sad face...make it a double.

Heard from Stern today. My game was received and they are getting started with evaluating and repairing the damage from shipping. I asked them to have a look for the shaker while they have it.
"All freight damage games are personally checked over and tested by the head of quality control before they are released so we will make sure everything is as it should be, but I will add that note for you."

I'm super happy to hear this. I do not like Beatles or TNA. I was hoping this game would be nothing like them aside from being single level.

I heard from Stern today. Mine has been repaired (damaged in shipping previously) and it's on its way back! They said it was only a small cosmetic issue. The box indicated otherwise. Anyway, should be here before the weekend!!

I just keep playing that scene in my head when I read a post about the p***e of the game..."This one-time at Bandcamp."

Excellent! Happy for everyone enjoying. Mine, unfortunately is still on a pallet at work. I have been too busy to get it home and turned on. I cannot wait to play. Got a few games in at MGC, but not enough. Played 2 and a half games. Literally, got a game cut short right at the beginning of a multiball. Power was interrupted at exactly 8:00. The end of the days festivities. I did hang around for the after-party, but not for long and didn't get any more time on the game. Once this game is home and set up next to my Bond LE, I will have two licenses to kill.....time. And I certainly will. If I have to take vacation to squeeze in some play on this I will. Minus all of the driving this time of course.

I can't bring myself to unbox mine. I paid full MSRP the day of it's release. It is very tough to see them now listed for 5 to 6 thousand dollars less NIB...So if I open mine it's worth even a greater deal less. I'm not ever planning to sell mine. Just the idea of it being sold elsewhere for so much less really really sucks. I could definitely open it, play it, enjoy it, share it with friends and family, and stay off of the internet sites that have it listed.. That's one way to go I guess. I really wanted the satisfaction of knowing that I got a great game that is sought after and in high demand. I'm reminded of the Wonder Woman scene from Shallow Hal. These prices effectively "Shallow Hal, wants a Gal" ed me.
