Quoted from mummite:

Sweet! Canada and some over sea's first I assume and then US!

Yes we get ours first. I don't know why but I'm cool with it .
I can't wait for my LE I might skip work that day to pick it up

Quoted from MMuller:

Enjoy your game with crap code

Why don't you list your games so we can tell you how many of them have crap codes??

Here are some pics of the LE's being produced in the Stern factory:

Quoted from eggbert52:

Awesome. The freshman class at the University of Phoenix is making my $8K LE Pin!

C'mon. They are at least seniors.

Quoted from Rarehero:

I'm guessing a Pinsider will put up video before Stern does.

That's guaranteed

That ... that's a joke, son. A joke I say.

Please tell me you know who Foghorn Leghorn is .....

The rooster on Looney Tunes??

Quoted from JimB:

So is it confirmed, boat orders go out ahead of US ones?

We get our LE's a week before the US too. It's just the way Stern does it.

#92 10 years ago

T - 3 days for us

#96 10 years ago
Quoted from theke:

I'm alright with that QG, just send pictures and spoilers to us when you break open the box!!

It comes in on Wed. in Toronto but I'm working all week as it is my busy time of the season So I won't be able to pick mine up until the weekend

But the guys that live near Toronto will have videos up by Wed. night I'm sure.

#106 10 years ago
Quoted from silverball0:

Hmm, just wondering, seems price of Star Trek LE is the same is Canada and the US, $7,990.00. So with the exchange rate either Stern is taking a 640 dollar loss per Canadian game or sticking it to the US consumer.

Starburst is sticking it to us with the ST Premium. It is $800 cheaper in the States, so I guess it evens out. Plus we pay sales tax of 13% up here on top of that price, and in the States the sales tax is incorporated in the price already.

#117 10 years ago
Quoted from zod:

Its $325 but still a loss.

No it's not. Taxes are included in the US price. The Canadian is without tax.

#119 10 years ago
Quoted from jfh:

I'm sure Stern isn't losing a penny if these are being sold at MSRP, no matter what country the sale is in.

Yes please don't feel sorry for Stern and their "loss".

#122 10 years ago
Quoted from McCune:

I am sure it will shine lights on the PF. What do you want it to do ?

Yes. this is correct. If you are expecting more then lighted dots on the playfield you will be very disappointed.

#144 10 years ago
Quoted from theke:

I'm alright with that QG, just send pictures and spoilers to us when you break open the box!!

You won't be getting a video from Canada any time soon. My distributor just emailed me, there is another delay at Stern and they will now be shipping to Canada between Nov. 11th - 19th. It was suppose to be tomorrow

#149 10 years ago
Quoted from Kiwipinhead:

"Big Boys Toys" will have a STLE in Auckland this Saturday but for display only, Guess code isn't finished yet

film the starfield projector if you can!!

#155 10 years ago
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

So Aussie games shipped as is but Canadians need tweeting ?

Yes. My distributor told me they will be shipping over seas first then here. So over seas might get them this week maybe?

#165 10 years ago
Quoted from MapleSyrup:

I heard the Les may come in to Canada by Nov 11th. Fingers Crossed. I've been playing the Pro in the meantime. After the 1.3 update, the game is really fun to play. I had to tweak my fire button to get it to register. Just had to manually bend the switch a little. It was sitting in the always on position. I thought it was a software issue, but it was physical. Also, I've had the 2 general illumination LEDs pop out on to the play field twice!!?? It's a super easy fix, but a huge drag when it happens mid game. Anybody else having this issue??

That happens to me on every game I own that uses 555 bulbs. Just a bit of hot glue solves it forever.

#170 10 years ago
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

Lol, we are so bad that we are now hoping for lame releases. Doh!

How are you liking code 1.3?? I know you were on the fence about trading/selling your Pro. Did the code update do it for you?

#176 10 years ago

I don't think so. Not anymore. If Canada is receiving theirs Nov. 11th - 19th, then the States will get theirs after that, as Canada always gets theirs first.

#204 10 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

Hopefully we won't hear of another delay.

Yes please no more delays! If there will be one you will hear it from a Canadian first. These delays are starting to really piss me off and they are giving me time to rethink the purchase. I hope the LE is a good one. Reports are the pro's playfields aren't holding up well to commercial routing use.

#205 10 years ago

Any word from someone down under? They said they would have them this week end.

#207 10 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

So what are the reports on the playfield?

Read all the op's posts on this page of the thread.

Quoted from theke:

T -6 for my friends up north, eh? That's really only equal to one dog day...Ha!

LOL. wouldn't 7 be a dog day.

#215 10 years ago
Quoted from theke:

Right here

#221 10 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

Only one post about pitting in the playfield. I haven't heard anything else about the game other than the screw above the pops and balls getting stuck.

And keep in mind the person that states this "cratering" of the playfield has been quite vocal about not liking, even hating the game before he ever played it. So I don't know how true this "cratering" is without pics.

#256 10 years ago
Quoted from silverball0:

Nope I heard shipping to Canada starts tomorrow, expect to see mine sometime late next week by the time it travels from Toronto to Vancouver.

Really, I just called Starburst in Toronto yesterday and the sales director told me Stern confirmed the LE's will be shipping to Canada November 20th.

#258 10 years ago
Quoted from silverball0:

Thanks Quarter Grabber, the wait is killing me as it is. Looks like last week in November then. My luck I will get machine number 666 as well. LOL

Here is an email my distributor forwarded me an hour ago:

"11/22 – 30 Canada ST LE should be ready for pick-up?????

OH MAN, OH MAN!!!!!

#266 10 years ago
Quoted from goodgameslover:

Last word from my distributor was that the LE is going to ship to Belgium/Holland in 10 days, give or take.

That sounds right, about the same time they ship to Canada.

#306 10 years ago

Anyone watch this review yet??

#310 10 years ago
Quoted from Aussiepinwiz:

Just tried to but it's been removed.
What was on it?

I guess the guy removed it. I like his reviews too. It was a review of Star Trek from Classic Game Room.
