I purchased thru PinballStar. Had an email that requested payment in full saying it would be shipped within the next 2 weeks. This was a month ago. I keep getting email saying soon when I ask. I wouldn't have paid in full if I wasn't told the game was being shipped.

Errrr.... andrewket had it right.

Where do you get your static cling mylar from?

Just trying to think on how to go about doing a MB go fund me page...

Player one Toronto has a CE set up. I put in about 30 min today.
Smooth play, beautiful machine, Frank is way less of a drain monster than I remember him being, everything about this game is great (even without the new upgrades),.......however, playing for 30min only confirmed my feelings that while this is one of my favorite games for its nostalgia and genuinely fun gameplay and theme, it also (for me) is better as a pin played only occasionally to be appreciated properly. I can see having this in my home making me start to find what iscurrently a fun game that I can usually do quite well on and be entertained into I game I find boring and repetitive. I dont want to wreck this game for myself so I'm taking a pass but hoping some locals get some
If you have the means and room to pack your house with pins, this is a great choice. If you are only going to have 4 or 5 pins? Maybe not.
Still looking forward to playing a SE or LE and love CGC remakes. This is the prettiest of them so far but has the least to do long term.

Thats what happened in our small collection of 7-10 pins.....

Totally disagree here. Many think Scared Stiff is a shallow, easy game (and compared to a lot of other deep games, it is). I own one, love it, and never really tire of it despite reaching the wizard mode almost every game. I just love the shots, call outs, lighting, everything about it. I don't think a game needs to be deep to be a keeper. Just because a game is shallow, I don't think that necessarily makes it boring and repetitive. I think LOTR is one of the best games ever (and obviously very deep), but I tired of the long marathon games on it, so it left my collection.

I have MBrLE on order, and I am thinking (and hoping) it will be like Scared Stiff to me.

Not bashing your opinion...just providing a counterpoint. We all have different tastes

I think you could say that about most pins. Ultimately, it's still about high score...it's just how you go about getting there. If I get bored of it I'll sell it, but since I've never mastered any pin I own..I don't think that'll be a problem.

Is this a title I sell my AFMrLE to acquire?

Ugh...doubtful?? AFMrLE is probably liked more, but what they've done with this machine cosmetically is outstanding. I would say another machine maybe, AFMrLE? no. I chose this over AFM though because I've played AFM to death over the years. I've had much less time with MB.

No, you keep them both.... life is short.

I think afm is the best of all the remakes... its the most difficult and has many different ways to approach it depending on your goal.

Anybody know why there is no ball save on the remake? The manual says its .02 in the adjustments menu, but the menu skips from .01 to .03... its just not there.

Did previous remakes ship that way?

Got my game today and overall it's really nice, but I am extremely upset that I cannot get the translight out. The key works, but panel will not rise enough to clear the speaker panel. I took the lock out still nothing. Reached inside to see if I could move the speaker panel enough to free the translight. No luck. The most simple of things it seems they didnt get right. I'll have to waste more time trying to free this thing. A bit of a joke.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Are les on the line yet ?

Try pushing down on the speaker panel at the same time. Hint: You might need more than 2 hands.

Tried that. I lowered the head, pulled speaker panel all the way down as far as it will go from the inside while pushing up on the tranlight, won't come out.

Plastic trim on top or bottom of the translite slipped up ?

Haven't seen this issue before.

LTG : )

Trim looks fine. The panel won't go all the way up, seems something is obstructing it. Pic shows the panel pushed up as far as it will go, needs to go higher, bit it wont.

Huh .. the original came factory with no ball save but had a adjustment i believe.

I finally got it out, but putting it back in is just as difficult. I tapped on the trim with a rubber mallet to make sure it's seated and it's still very tight going in and out. I basically have to slam the translight up to get enough room to clear the speaker panel. speaker panel is sitting flush with the bottom so that’s not the issue.

I can now get it in and out, but it's not right compared to any other game, including my afmr and mmr. I'll call them on monday. Not really sure what they can do, maybe I need a new panel.

If I had to guess, I'd say the light panel is sitting too high. In fact, you can see in the pic that there is some black paint on the panel corner suggesting it is hitting the top of the cabinet.

Leave the top trim off for now.

LTG : )

I need an easier game and I think MBR will fit that bill nicely. It will be a nice break from getting the shit kicked out of me from my other games.

That's exactly what i did. Time to try something else. Like this theme better.

Def not.

I had the same problem. I have to push up on the backglass very hard to remove and put it back. Now that I know it is not just mine, I will turn in a ticket also.

Hopefully they can correct this issue before they produce too many more games.

This is happening for me! My very first NIB pin... picking up an SE next Saturday! I'm so stoked!

I basically sold off all my old star wars toys and made some fun money... I was thinking about buying a Stern Star Wars... but then after seeing game play and reading about it, I was turned off (plus I wasn't crazy about the artwork). It was between MB and AFM... MB it is. I think the quality on these remakes is really good.

I'm a little surprised that this wasn't caught by some kind of quality control, now that we have had 2 people with issues stated. You would think that someone had to force it in and would realize that at the factory?

I can only hope they will look into it.

Are you sure there isn't a wire pinched under the speaker panel, giving less room to lift up on the translight.

Absolutely sure. I have taken my translite out quite a few tmes and it is the same each time. You have to force it out.

Still not a peep on our serial number matching LE.
Even emailed my distributor who says they have not heard any news at all.

I'm fine waiting so I/we all get perfect machines...

Yeah I would be chopping at the bit even more if I was a number matcher. Kind of gave up hope for this year getting my game so it is what it is. Had to go out and buy a new game to keep me occupied until mine arrives.

Try to look at the bright side. Your game will be a New 2019 model while the others will have the older 2018 model. Works for cars....

Yep, don't rush them.

Bahaha thats true!

I think opening the outlanes on MB makes a huge difference.

Also, for those who got bored..... how many did the infamous 6 stack???

I don't know why MB gets all this hate on it for being an easy game. I love AFM and its one of my favorites but goodness I think that game is much easier for me at least then MB. It's very rinse and repeat compared to MB. Like it is this is all personal preferences and personal skills but just think the negatives for Monster Bash need to stop. There is a reason why the game exploded with sales. We all frickin' love this game!

It's a phenomenal game. There's a reason a nice copy was demanding 10k before the remakes were announced. I think it's funny people are talking about beating it everytime. Open your damn outlanes and jack up the legs then. Anyone can beat a game in easy mode with closed outlanes.

Yeah its funny how often I hear guys talk about how easy a game is only to find out that they have it setup really easy. Closed outlanes and even five ball. I always start with my games set up difficult and then make easier if I find I'm constantly struggling to the point where its no fun to play. I don't doubt there are some aces out there that can't get the game set up hard enough to be a challenge, but for us mortals, its plenty challenging.

I bought MMrLE and AFMrLE NIB, ordered both the day they were announced, both number matched. I’m now being told I need to prove this or I’m out of the number match club. Annoying. I sent in my receipts, which of course were just emails from my distributor (not the same one I’m using for MBr).

I think the worse thing that happened to MB is they published it on the Pinball Arcade, people played it, beat the crap out of it, and have moved on because owning one was just fantasy, and the last one you saw actually in the wild was so dirty and beat to death, you wondered even if you could find one, it would never be like getting one NIB, and most likely would require HEP to come to the rescue.

Both AFM, and MM are very similar and feel like playing the same rulesets, and MB would be a perfect trifecta except there is a different flavor to it. Maybe a little less deep, but when you are trying to get the last instrument to get Monsters of Rock it is almost the same as trying to complete the last mode in AFM to get to rule the universe. The one thing I like about MB is that the final wizard mode does not require you to get out of your current mode, it will start with multiple balls on the table. There is nothing more frustrating than to leave a wizard mode qualified but uncollected

All you have to do is complete the warranty registration card for either or both of your prior machines.

I've never seen a MB in person. I'm buying it because I played it in pinball arcade and thought it was a blast, and pinball arcade is cool but a poor substitute for a real game.

I got a call yesterday about this very issue. CGC claimed my games weren't registered. Whats funny is that they have sent me several parts under warranty over the years....clearly they were both registered.....I had to send in proof of purchase....

Ours is like this a bit too. It's not impossible or anything but I do have to push up harder than other games. It doesn't bug me enough to put in a ticket TBH.
