Mines coming from PPS. What about yours?

Thanks Tim, no worries here. I've received enough deliveries to know what's damaged inside or not...the extra travel just made me appreciate it more when it arrived today.

Just put it all together. Only have a very tiny blemish of the back of the back box. Nothing to worry about! That's great news to me.

I'll end up adding the mods I have later. However, here's a pic of it all setup, working and no errors after setting the date/time.

Never saw a shooter lane look like this from a NIB.....

Mine had the metal plates. For two of the four legs I can’t fit a playing card cleanly between the legs and the cab.

Also, forgot to mention I found this piece of plastic under the lock down bar.

It has adhesive on the other side. Not 100% sure where it goes but, the lane for the castle multiball lock area is bare wood? Does it go there?

On inside of the lock down bar to prevent the end from scraping the side rail.

Check the other side to see where it goes.

Here is a piece on MBR's lockdown bar.

Many thanks! Think I should submit a ticket about the biting legs? I’m a little afraid to nudge the machine and cause more damage.

Not sure what I'm missing here. What is wrong?

You can if you like.

LTG : )

Cgc I believe

I don't see anything wrong there. It looks like you did get interesting placement of the wood grain there by chance.

I now know why I found that piece inside. The lockdown bar will not go back on with that piece there. It’s too tight of a fit. Instead I just put a few layers of Electrical tape where it it was supposed to go. Now it fits snug but no danger of scratching.

That said, I noticed this mark running down the front of the cab when I first opened the box.

I didn’t mention it on here before because I asked my distributor this weekend if there is a safe way to try to wipe it off.

I tried a damp micro fiber cloth and it got a lot but not all of it off.

What else is safe for me to try? Haven’t heard back from my distributor yet.

Yes. Just a weird placement of grain. Next to AFMRLE....which is the cleanest of wood. No biggie. Just more of a reminder pic when I goto clean it.

Looks like a wrinkle in the decal.

Okay,, that Franky underneath with the lighting must scare the heck out of some kids.....Loooks Awwwwesssommme !!!!!!

I had the same thing on my MR LE, on side of cabinet....thought it was a scrape. Just used some soap and water on rag....it came off with a little rubbing and didn't deform the decal at all.

Mine fell off as well I put it back but now the lockdown bar is really tough to get back on the side where it fell off.

Has anyone verified that CGC has stopped shipping games? Did the law come knocking?

As of now still shipping. I was told they ran out of a few parts. More games ship next week.

Wait, what?

Lol. Kind of....the wife hates it when I put the Drac under there....so Frank stays.

I had those on my MMrRE when I unboxed it. One side was off, the other was still stuck on. However, the lockdown bar, no matter what, would NOT go on the game with both tabs. So I took both tabs off and adjusted the screws so it would fit tight. I think I’ll go with the electrical tape the other guy said. I feel like this is a CGC issue. Not an issue to worry about or file a claim for. But maybe they need to use an even thinner piece.

Nope not a wrinkle. something black made a streak down the front.

Light rubbing with a damp microfiber glass cloth only took off so much. Nervous to scrub and cause scratches.

I was just told my RE is delayed from Friday to Wednesday to ship based on a board for the topper not available.

I have had a reoccurring problem with the left flipper on my AFMr. The flipper post bushing has broken four times. I havent been able to determine why so I replaced the whole mechanism, for now it is holding up. Might be something to look into because a fractured/worn bushing changes the post position. If you can move the flipper to and fro without rotating it, you have a bushing problem.

Same thing happened to me. The side piece fell off and it’s really hard to get the bar to go down. I still love the game, but honestly a bit disappointed with CGC. I haven’t received a response on my ticket regarding the issue with time not keeping. I understand we are in a pandemic, but if you are going to ship a 10K game that’s faulty out of the box you should at least have some basic customer support coverage.

Sorry, double post.

Try one of those mr clean foam magic erasers. Just try one little spot.

I know these are super expensive toys and perfection is expected at this price point. In my experience, all of that anxiety created by having this perfect toy takes ALOT of the enjoyment away from having the game.

I did a crazy expensive restore on a D&D and buffed the playfield out to a mirror. I got so focused on getting it perfect that the first scratch in the clear (during assembly under a ramp you will never see) I had to walk away from it for a week. After getting it all back together, it was the nicest best playing game I ever had.

The point is until there was a scratch and I could get past the perfect, I didn’t really enjoy the game. It was just that mint in box collectible I was more worried about having then playing

No way. Those are abrasive. I’ll have scratches for sure.

I get that. I’m not expecting absolute perfection. I also don’t want clear cosmetic issues on the front. If it was the side, no one would ever know but me until I disclosed it when I sold it.

It’s also the first thing I saw when I opened the box. So they had to see it before they closed it up.

The left one ? Is so page 1-15 in the manual, lower the strength on your R Popper Strength.

It shoots the ball straight at your left flipper. On AFM and AFMR you'll get more busted left flipper bushings because of this.

Ok. ....

Has anyone put their custom logo on the MMRRE?

I've done the others I have but this one is just not taking it.
Opened a new 16, 32, 64 and 128g msd from the package. All new and genuine Sandisk.

Game keeps telling me unable to mount card.
The file is a simple 320x80 bmp. Same file I used on the others .

It's not telling me it doesn't like the file, it's stating that it cannot mount the card.

Any ideas? I'm missing something.

Does the same card work on the others (not just the file)?

I looked for the card I used on the others....IIRC a 128gb card was the one that worked.

What I'm using are new out of package. Shows they're already 32 fat....but I'll try a full format just in case....

I guess I could try to use this card on one of the others, but didn't really want to check that way. Ugh. Lazy today I guess. Thought it would just take a few minutes....nope.

Microfiber and a light damp/soap scrub?

Had the same problem, no solution so far. Another user on here mentioned they tried a card and image that worked in their Monster Bash, worked on MB not in his RE. Same error, could not mount SD card.

Spoke too soon, two days in a row now I get the test report error 'Time/date not set' and I have to go in and set it again. Re-opening ticket with CGC.

this was often posted here, that sd card cannot be mounted; seems a SW bug.
You have Beta 3 too?

I'll have to look which version.
Good to know I'm not too crazy. When you try multiple new cards, old cards, formatting etc and it isn't smooth....just becomes frustrating. I'm sure a fix will come someday.
Appreciate the heads up!

see older posts (esp. the one where a guy has tested the same card with an MBR and it works; Beta 3; this is really an issue. How to update the pin without mounting a SD Card?

What was funny was that I could update the software no problem, so it can read the cards for that purpose. Just not to load the custom image.

Did you contact CGC and see if a fix may be in the near future?

I have a ticket opened, but it hasn't been updated since last week.

oh cool; I am waiting for the MMRE, so I just read all postings an be patient.
with which software can you update? only the old version is available for download.

When I opened the ticket they sent me a link to download 3.0.0 Beta 3, the current RE version.

I had the same issue with mine. It goes under lock bar. I spoke to Ryan at CGC he said he was not happy with the glue on that piece of plastic sticking to the powder coated lock bar. I just put some epoxy glue and it went over well.

Your setup looks good!

Nothing abnormal there. My Metallica’s like that and I love it. Stuff like that’s what reminds ya it’s a one of a kind.
