Fort Worth, TX
I'm buying an LE. Does this pin come with a working Coin Mechanism? I believe Medieval Madness did not.

I had to call Chicago Gaming earlier in the day. Had a question about pinball height...with topper. They appear to be taller than my Sterns. I used the opportunity to inquire when MB LE's would be delivered. He said SE's just shipped...then on to LE's with matching serial numbers. Mine will be non-matching...these should make it under the Chrustmas Tree he said. It sounds like no production related issues...thus far. Stoked to get mine!!
He was nice and walked out to production floor to measure height of LE with topper. I'll be putting mine in a tight spot...so inches count.
He said, depending on what height you set your legs to, 83" - 84" tall with Topper.

I have an LE on order, but never played this Pin. Is Creature from the Black Lagoon an actual toy...or a hologram inside the playfield? Looks to me like an actual toy...but if so...how did they get it inside the playfield? Dumb question...but I'm just curious.
Quoted from fanuminski:damn...i jumped the gun and ordered these - thinking these would be nice with the extra cushion. why
do they "suck"? (i havent received them yet)
I ordered them as well. Waiting for them to be delivered. Sounds like a bad purchase on my part 
Quoted from fanuminski:well - they look like they're cut out (poorly) with scissors. I'm going to just eat it... may use the Frank and Drac ones -
you won't notice how poorly cut they are from playing distance. I'm more concerned with how they will hold
up on the targets and not spit out pieces of that foam or backer material that was used.

I received my stickers today as well. I'll see how they hold up before I say anything negative.

Quoted from MrSanRamon:Mine made it this morning...just need a bit of help moving it into the house. Made separate post to ask for help.

You had some bad luck with your last delivery. This thing better be pristine!! 
Quoted from PinballHog:I got my MBRLE this week and set it up last night for Christmas this morning. There was a rubber piece in with the bag of fuses. Does this piece go under the glass stuck to the apron to keep the glass from rattling?
Can you post a pic of where it's suppose to go when you have a chance? Thanks
Quoted from Zablon:That wireform looks incorrectly up against the wall or not lined up properly...see how the left side of the ball looks like it is on the side of the rail rather than on top of it? It looks like it is getting caught up on it because the left rail pushes it into the wall.
He's right...unless the picture is messing with my eyes.
Quoted from pintechev:I own both. Completely different games. ST is a great Steve Ritchie flow game. MB is a pinnacle of pinball title. They compliment each other.
I have Star Trek LE, and waiting for my MBr LE. Star Trek gets the most play by far in my small collection. Friends, family, guests initially play all my pins...then gravitate back to Star Trek. That pin is bolted to my floor. Also, aesthetically it's a beautiful game. Chaser lights on the side, illuminated speakers, lights on both sides of back box, laser beam for playfield.
Doubt you will ever see this much attention go into a Stern game going forward.
Plus, it's a Steve Ritchie game with great flow.
Remember, this is just my opinion. I'm still waiting for my MBr LE...so I cannot compare the two pins.
Quoted from SDAmusements:Well today was a bummer....Guess it really is a good idea to always open the box!
[quoted image][quoted image]
Wow!! I see some minor damage to box loaded on forklift...but didn't expect to see that mess. Was there additional damage to other side of box as well?
By the way, very sorry about that. I'm sure it really let the wind out of your sails.

Quoted from cheshirefilms:The rate things are going, the SE is going to be the *actual* Limited Edition,
Much the same as the standard stainless editions are on Jersey Jack games- that is, much fewer made and sold-
While the "standard" LE customers are the ones that have to wait the longest to get their games.
I can just see, once the LE sells out, a "monster edition" with different extras, numbered...etc.
Keep that money train rollin' in!
I'm curious why you're interested in purchasing an LE topper for your SE ? An earlier post stated CGC disabled topper software for SE and CE games. Is there a back door around this?
Quoted from Coz:https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-monster-bash-limited-edition-4
Used MBr LE for sale already. Here’s your chance to buy one and not have to wait.
Can't believe someone is already parting with their new LE !! That was a quick honeymoon
Quoted from hollywood:Can I have that one?
Just kidding! Great job CGC! Can’t wait to get my machine!! I’ll wait as long as it takes....I did wait 9months for my son; and that was beyond worth it!
My parents waited 9 months for me. They're beyond pissed!!

So...are these cracks showing up NIB, or a couple days after you put the legs on?

Quoted from GCS2000:Thanks good to know as this makes at least 2 non-matching LEs out in the wild in the last week.
Thought he said it WAS "number matching."

Quoted from JFink8222:Well, just got my call from Hemispheres Amusements! My NON-Matching MBrLE is shipping to me tomorrow!! I was #2 in the cue for non matching. Can’t wait!
Congrats!!
I just received a call from Automated Services. My non-matching LE ships tomorrow. Said they just received a few LE's today from CGC.
Quoted from Mokthemagicman:So are we finally done with the matching LE's? Are they shipping nonmatching now?
Can anyone confirm?
Yes. I paid in full back in November. Purchased from Automated Services (pinballs.com). My non-matching LE drop-shipped yesterday. It will be delivered next week.

Quoted from PtownPin:wow that sucks....sorry that happened to u....
I'm no Physicist, but the damage was indicative of raising the pallet 2 or 3 feet off the ground...then dropping it straight down.
Quoted from robotron:you have to be a great player to play with a microscope!
play and enjoy. no new pin is perfect. go to the ce thread and look at some of the issues they are having upon arrival.
I agree. I took delivery of my LE yesterday. It arrived in pieces.
Beware of these Freight Companies guys !!

Drac is about 7 inches high. Only one left at Amazon. [quoted image]
I'd pass on this Drac action figure. Smile on his face...sporting a huge package...kinda creepy.
Quoted from wyopin:It’s alive!

Any issues out of the box?
Looks great !!
Quoted from shock_me:Well looky here! I've bent one or two of these myself over the years no biggie! Frankie is well lit again [quoted image]
My Frankie spotlight only illuminates (flashes) when his table brings him to a standing position for multi ball. Is this normal? Seems it should turn on more often.
Quoted from Kungen:They should be in the bottom of the backbox down to the cabinet.
Oh crap!! Thank you. I'm use to Stern pins.
Quoted from LTG:Inside the backbox on the bottom. Hold the head to the cabinet. Don't depend on the little clip in the rear, which is only meant to help set the game up.
LTG : )
Thank you!!
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I've had one installed for a couple weeks. It is MONEY. It makes the game look outstanding. Fits both original and remakes (which are different!). Get this, the blue trough light, and maybe the flasher covers, and you are good to go.
I've had my game for a week. You're right, that trough area is a bit dark. The proximity sensors for Phantom Flip take up space where a couple LEDs should be.
Quoted from LTG:Page 1-16 in the manual. Left eject strength, in the CGC menu.
LTG : )
I changed it from Default to Max...but nothing changed as far as eject strength.
Quoted from cheshirefilms:Before and After PDI glass installed in my Special Edition You can't even see the ramp and the monsters through the blurr of the regular glass..the difference is like night and day.
[quoted image][quoted image]
1.) How much is it?
2.) Where do I get it?
Quoted from Diospinball:Yeah... I don't know if I'll be able to get the blooming thing adjusted correctly... Just a real pain in the rear right now.
Hate it so much. I tried the screws as I said... Am I to just blindly twist and check, twist and check...
There is no way to tell which way to go, and when to stop. Just a garbage design I think.
I see I'm not the only one with lockdown bar issues. I have the same problem. Takes me about 10 minutes to get it halfway secured. I've taken it on/off about a dozen times since I got it. All the wear/tear would lead you to believe it's off a MB Original.

Quoted from JFink8222:Anyone know when the lightening bolt up by the pop bumpers is supposed to light? Mine doesn’t ever seem to turn on
I've noticed this as well. Don't believe I've ever seen it illuminated on mine.

Quoted from Jarson:Been waiting for my MBRLE since October 20th 2018.
Today it finally came.
RoadRunner Freight was the carrier. I refused delivery and am waiting to hear back the resolution from my dist.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Why would they even attempt delivery on something like this? Do they believe someone will actually sign for this??
