Quoted from RichieWrench:Wonder if this could be a good time for them to bring those game manuals for those of us that have not got theirs....
Now...Now....
I know....Dont push it....One thing at a time....lol
Quite a few people haven't had manual, jacket or comic.
Quoted from rubberducks:Quite a few people haven't had manual, jacket or comic.
COMIC??????
WHAT COMIC??????
Quoted from RichieWrench:COMIC??????
WHAT COMIC??????
I would have assumed that you'd studied the feature matrix quite extensively. Apparently not.
"Signed CE Comic Book."
Seems they've updated the matrix with details of the lunch, with Pat & design team @ Chicago office ... though maybe they did that a while ago.
Quoted from RichieWrench:COMIC??????
WHAT COMIC??????
Just curious why you type ALL CAPS? Is that just YOUR STYLE??
Quoted from delt31:Just curious why you type ALL CAPS? Is that just YOUR STYLE??
TYPE LOUDER. NOT ALL OF US HAVE GOOD HEARING.
I GOT "ALL CAPS" AND "YOUR STYLE". REST IS UNINTELLIGIBLE.

Haha well played.
Just guessing that richiewrench does all of his own accounting. ACCOUNTING people all seem to have their CAPS key STUCK. Did you every notice that?
Quoted from delt31:Just curious why you type ALL CAPS? Is that just YOUR STYLE??
Somebody has wrench loose. Or maybe tighten up the nuts with the wrench?
I did not get a comic....i will have to double check that....and politely ask for one if I did not get one...Sure that will not be an issue.
Game is great and amazing....
Just curious on one thing...I updated the game and not the topper lights up....but really does nothing....am I missing something here or is it really just that plane and just lights up...???
OH...BY THE WAY....CAPS DO GET STUCK WHEN I GET EXCITED.....
ITS PLUMBING THING......

43- Can we make Bob look like a Richie Wrench doll?
So here is Jack response today -- He is asking me to hold off on any additional questions till the dinner....
Good Morning,
After starting this company and answering tens of thousands of questions, I have to congratulate you Mr. Wrench for your very well though out and valuable questions.
I did my best to answer in a timely manner. I understand that there may be more questions and while we encourage you to ask, it may be better to hold some of them for the evening of this wonderful celebratory dinner.
Please know that we may have some questions for you as well so be prepared to reply in kind.
Thank you again for doing your best to make us smile, that’s what it’s all about!
Jack

5. Yes, if you bring yours.
6. Yes, we want you to be dressed in your normal work attire as pictured on your bobblehead
7. Yes, especially inside.
8. Not at the dinner, they have an alcohol consumption license so we cannot “bring” - we can buy.
9. Possibly, depending on how much of that beer your friend is bringing is consumed. It’s happened before.
10. Yes, that’s encouraged.
11. Italian fare. If you bring, you must bring lobster you must bring enough for the entire class. Grilling optional but we will work something out.
12. We have limited space so you can bring one guest who is lucky enough to be married to you or DNA related. A test may be conducted.
13. Yes, you can bring that up with Pat.
14. Yes, Rose colored are suggested.
15. Yes, we will have authentic Italians standing by to translate into Illinoisese.
16. We’re working on that.
17. Yes, of course no Italian dinner is complete without dessert.
18. Yes, but we will only sign in marinara sauce.
19. Yes, but every answer will be the same.
20. We encourage that, we would love to not hear about the results.
21. If you ask some of the wrong questions, you can expect a fireworks show for sure.

25. Pistachio.

28. Yes. Do not leave any valuables inside the car. Rocco the Valet Attendant will have your vehicle chopped up by the time you’re on the main course.
29. Seating is based on when you ordered the game and the serial number build date and the date promised deducted from the actual shipping date.
30. All other time zones have been suspended for this dinner. It’s only based on JJP time, which is always later than we announce.

34. That’s encouraged.
35. See #34
36. Yes, we promised in writing not to clog the toilets unless we have a means to clear the clog. Your most expert services may be requested.
37. We were hoping you would have a sixty thousand word speech prepared about the virtues of powder coating coin doors but we’ll take a good plumber joke or two instead.
38. Good idea, Jelly is our favorite, we’ll work on that but may need to go offsite to Dunkin Donuts together after the dance party at 5 AM.
39. It’s what we live for.
40. I’m told that Joe would not have it any other way.
Richie : 40. Can I sit next to Joe Newhart at the Dinner? I just want to bug the shit out of him all night...
Jack : 40. I’m told that Joe would not have it any other way.
Dearest Jack, I think it's time we re-negotiate my contract... 3am he texts me, you saw that part right ? And that's AFTER he gets his game.. You don't know what it's like before. I beg you... help me.... I work hard for you... help...
PS... Of course I want to sit next to Richie. (so I'm close enough to strangle him)
Quoted from Oneangrymo:How do I get an invitation to this thing, was it supposed to be for all CE buyers?
CE buyers only. Email Jen and ask.
LTG : )
Quoted from RichieWrench:I did not get a comic....i will have to double check that....and politely ask for one if I did not get one...Sure that will not be an issue.

From what I understand, the comic should have been inside the shipping box. The CE comics were signed by the design team, and put in a protective plastic sleeve along with a cardboard backer.
The CE topper will do some small flashy effects once in a while during attract mode. It also flickers along with the "Top Evil Dude" speech in the game. (Some day we will be putting more of that speech in.)

I bought a Dialed In LE,can I show up for leftovers?
Quoted from ralphs007:I bought a Dialed In LE,can I show up for leftovers?
Only if you show up with $3,500 in your back pocket.
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Is Slash from GNR going to be there or was that from something else?
Mo
No idea where that rumor started.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Is the Dinner this weekend?

We will all be waiting for the RichieWrench review, if he got his steak, and a pic with Joe PinballSTAR hugging each other. He's been kind of quiet lately ...

Ok, question for DICE owners or anyone else with the playfield protector.
Have you removed it or considering removing it due to impacted game play?
On mine, ball gets stuck in two different spots and the phone shot with that and the hole protector is pretty rough.
I think the game would play better without it.
I've considered a couple options to try to correct without pulling it but thought I would consult the group.

Ive got DICE and would pull it. I don’t get playfield protectors though. That level of paranoia about these machines which are meant to be played would kill my enjoyment

I have the protector on and love it. I rarely get any ball hang ups. Yes, I do think it makes the phone scoop a little harder to hit. You need a much more accurate shot to hit it.
I know I am in the minority when it comes to playfield protectors. I have 6 games and have the protector on 3 of them. I don’t think the games play any differently at all. I wish all my games had them.

I will never sell a PF protector as an option on a game again. I will talk every customer out of it. There's a reason it's not even offered on POTC. Take that for what it's worth.
Quoted from Cserold:Finally all setup. Two #69s side by side.

What the hell happened to your POTC CE?? Where is all the custom barnacle???

(Edit: sorry guys. Meant to post this in potcce forum)
I had them leave off and ship separately. Was going to have Matt customize them if I didn’t like the way they looked. Still thinking about it.
Per JJP, production of DICE was limited to the number of customer orders received by midnight December 31, 2016.
Does anyone know how many DICE were manufactured?

Jack said 150. But to be fair, they are still for sale here in Europe at least at a few distributors. Maybe initial customers cancelled them.
