Serious question, is there any reason to believe I can't get an LE say by Feb or March of next year? And if the LE's actually do sell out that fast, wouldn't there be plenty of SE versions at that time?

Anyone finding a distro that will give you free shipping or some discount if you use paypal friends and family (or a check so they aren't paying credit card fees?) If so please PM me who. Thanks!!

So has anyone found a distrib that will lower price if you pay without a credit card (wire, paypal friends and family, or check) Trying to find the best deal I can get just curious if anyone is beating $8300 shipped for LE for example...

Secured an LE today. I've had the promo poster of this pin in my possession for over a decade, and honestly never thought I'd be able to get the pin. So happy they are making these remakes!

And these will fit fine for the remake?

very excited for you SE owners!

If this is how you guys are going to respond to your pinside customers, I will be buying every pin you put out

Can someone tell me what's the best place to purchase Pdi or invisaglass (or whatever is considered the best glass and bang for the buck)

I am dealing with the same thing. Not very happy sent payment in full and now if these rumors are true that non matching LEs could get pushed back to March or April my money is sitting unnecessarily elsewhere instead of my bank. And when I contacted distrib about this he said he already sent the money to CGC.

I am very impressed with the honesty and timely reponse, thank you CGC. I am waiting on my LE, and I'm prepared to wait as long as it takes. I would have preferred not paying in full like I was asked to if I knew it was going to be Feb-March before I get my pin, but that's not going to sour my excitement for what appears to be a beautiful pin that for years most of us thought would never be obtainable without paying an absurd price for.

So impressed with CGC. Pretty sure I'll be buying most any pin they release in the future too

My LE is coming this week supposedly. Super excited!!!

Yes and I paid in full months ago (last year).

MBrLE #458 is setup and absolutely gorgeous. And while kids are playing it and I haven't gone over every single inch of her, so far it appears to have ZERO issues. Only complaint is that the playfield does seem a little dark, but I'm also probably spoiled to my AFMrLE #458 which has pinstadium lights and that really does make a huge difference. I think they are crazy overpriced but might buy it for MB because it is that noticeably dark compared to AFM.

is it cheating to add a ball save timer? man without there are so brutally short games lol

Also how do you guys determine how far to raise up the back legs? can someone take a photo of the level and show me where it optimally should be?

But man it looks GORGEOUS on my AFM. Do you feel the same way about pinstadium on AFM??

Anyone getting frequent bounce outs of the extra ball hole part of the playfield?? Is there a solution for this?

I think mine (which was delivered a few days ago) was that way IIRC

Talk about a letdown huh? This pin on the other hand is actually fun and beautiful (Hobbit is beautiful...and that's it)
