Quoted from Cheeks:

Actually, each rectangle is a pair: one "scoop" and one wall. They can all be raised individually and each wall / scoop can be lit individually with RGB LEDs. If the game raises one scoop, that flat rectangular piece raises up and you can shoot the ball into it. Each scoop also has a vertical wall in front of it, which is used to create barriers that block segments of the upper playfield.
For example, there's a mini-game called ROCS where all the scoops and walls raise up. This keeps the ball trapped on the lower playfield and you are tasked with hitting virtual targets on the LCD. Once you complete your objective, one of the walls lowers and you need to shoot the ball into the exposed scoop. Similarly, there is a mode in Lexy where you're in a warehouse and you need to smash crates and collect the contents by rolling over them on the LCD. All the scoops are up and 2 are exposed by lowering their corresponding wall. One scoop leads to the next room, and the other allows to you go back the prior room, in case you left before collecting all the parts.
CCR uses these 1 or 2 at a time to create blockages to the ramps or as a special hurry-up shot to hit. Heist! uses them in different ways as well. If you watch Gerry's stream (which was on Dead_Flip's Twitch channel) it shows multiple creative uses of the scoops and walls.

Quoted from Cheeks:

Here's an old article by Pinball news that steps through lots of detail about the platform: https://www.pinballnews.com/site/2017/12/31/p3-in-depth-review/

Quoted from Cheeks:

I responded to your post within an hour of you posting it, and while I was typing, 2 people from Multimorphic beat me to it...on a public forum. At 10pm on a Friday no less. Did I mention their support was awesome?
Gerry and TJ need to get a life!

Quoted from timmmmyboy:

Super excited to be in the club as well as to get the P3 showing on some location play in Northern Virginia, it will be at Reclaim Arcade in Fredericksburg when we open end of January. Thanks ecw0930 not only for the help but highlighting that question even before I got here! I did go back and watch BuffaloPinball's unboxing video and saw him gently push down on his Heist playfield to secure so I'm sure that's all it is on mine, will get that done. The machine is so impressive and excited to dig in more on all that's possible. And a huge thanks to gstellenberg and the whole team, super responsive by email and easy to work with.

Quoted from bingopodcast:

I had that issue with the Heist playfield after removing and installing it many times. The issue was a nut on the far left side front of the playfield module had fallen off in one of the removal/replacements, which caused it to sag a small fraction. Replacing the nut fixed it for me.
If that doesn't do the trick for you, does it do it for other modules? If so, then there is a wiki document detailing how to relevel scoops/walls that might help.
As to other issues, can you post what they might be? If ball is not diverting properly you may have a blown fuse on the PD-16.
You may wish to open support tickets for your issues - I've had very good response time from MM regarding issues. Faster than I am able to actually address, in most cases.

Quoted from gstellenberg:

Looks like potentially two problems:
1) Why is the playfield lower than the aluminum block? The front tab of the playfield is what's locked in place by the latch. That should hold the playfield exactly level with the aluminum block unless the tab isn't flush with the playfield anymore. That's probably what happened in bingopodcast's case if the nut holding the rail in place fell off. If you remove the ball and take some detailed pics of the interface between the front edge of the playfield and the latch, we might be able to see what the issue is.
2) Why doesn't ball search run. Best guess is your touchscreen playfield area is seeing grid activity. Go into Diagnostics -> Ball Tracking and see if any lines are blinking sporadically. If so, there could be something partially blocking an opto transmitter or receiver (you can swivel down the front door and look underneath the hanging mechanisms to see if there's a good gap between the playfield surface and the lowest parts of the hanging mechs/cables/etc). Otherwise, maybe the ball tracking timing needs a tweak (from memory, I think it's Settings -> Mechs -> BallTracking).
If these answers don't lead you to solutions, feel free to email us directly at [email protected], and we can dig in and then follow up here with the solutions.

Quoted from Goyomex:

Hey P3 Owners. New to the club! Just took delivery on my new machine with Lexi, Heist and CCR. Spent a week+ on Heist before even cracking open Lexi. Been everything i could have asked for up to this point - especially with a bit of help from Gerry on a small issue with my Heist crane. Talk about some incredible customer service!!
I've got a question - pretty sure it's not a PF issue, but rather a "new user" issue. On Lexi, roughly 75% of my attempts up the left ramp fail. Almost seems as if there's something slowing the ball down. Then, when not trying, it flies up with ease. Is there a lock you need to clear before you can access the ramp? I see the arrow colors on the left ramp switch between blue and red, but have never figured it out. Does the color of the arrow matter? Typically make 1 alien attack/game if i'm lucky - but actually had a game with 5 attacks. Don't know what the hell i did to achieve that.
Appreciate any feedback from those with more experience.

Quoted from Cheeks:

Definitely both great options. If I had to pick only one playfield, it would be tough. I think Lexy is one of the most underrated pinball games available (not just P3). It's probably my favorite P3 game. Mode-based gameplay where each mode feels totally different and uses all the different P3 tech. Also has an AFM-like kill the aliens track. If it was game vs. game against just CCR, I'd pick Lexy hands down.
BUT...
The CCR playfield offers up a lot of fun beyond just the base game. CCR 2.0 is a huge improvement over the initial release. Career mode is the CCR bread-and-butter at this point, and the Arcade mode (racing only) is a fun break, which also includes the online racing option for when someone organizes a race party.
On top of that, the CCR playfield has Ranger in the Ruins which is a basic game, but it's the best bang for the buck on the P3.
And...a little birdy has hinted that there may be more fun to come for the CCR playfield.
So, Lexy has one killer mode-based game. CCR has a variety of fun non-mode-based games.

Quoted from Goyomex:

Lol, not to complicate your decision, but you have to give serious consideration to Heist (if you don't already have it). Amazing - and incredibly challenging - game play. Can't get my family off the machine when Heist is installed!

Quoted from Cheeks:

I'd pick based on your desired playstyle.
Lexy is a mode-based game. The modes are fun and HUGELY diverse. One mode raises the walls and is all about hitting virtual targets with the ball, then moving to the next room through an open scoop. Super fun. Another mode kills the flipper hold, so you can't trap balls. It's just rapid-fire target shooting. It also has the alien attack ladder, which has an AFM (shoot the middle) vibe to it, and it has a physical 8-ball lock. Really fun to try loading up the entire saucer for the 8-ball. But good luck keeping them all going if you do.
The multiball is a fun risk-reward because you kill(?) more agents per jackpot with more balls in play, so not cashing in on 2- or 3-ball multi can make a big difference. Given that the saucer shot (where you start multiball) is one of the easiest in the game, it has you actively trying to avoid the gimme shot to try and light more locks. Because, if you don't get all the agents in multiball, each subsequent multiball requires more hits to light the lock, so there's definitely some strategy on how/when to go for it.
The CCR playfield is all about flow. Seriously, Steve Ritchie ain't got nothin' on how this layout flows. Really fun, but almost no stop-and-go, so you need to like that style. All current games on this playfield take advantage of the layout by not really having modes, or anything that would require the ball to stop for long. CCR Career mode has the shop where you can upgrade your cart, but honestly, I just quickly click through it and get back to the action. Namely, because I don't think this is implemented all that well. I never have enough money, and when I do, I spend it on race entry fees. I've never felt hampered by not upgrading my cart. I also don't feel like the character you select matters much, even though they have moderately different stats. When I hit shots, I win races. When I'm bricking, I don't. Cart stats (starting or upgrades) aren't very noticeable to me, and I'm honestly not sure if I wish they were or not. I guess I probably wish money was more plentiful (jobs paid more) and upgrading carts was more necessary. Until then, I don't worry about it. Just let her rip. Playfield can also lock 3 balls magnetically on the ramp. Way cool!
And I can't state enough that EVERY owner of a CCR playfield needs to own RitR. It's just a mini-game (sorta), but the vibe and music are so perfectly implemented. It's a 1-ball game (at least by default) so it's quick and fun. It's all about finding and discovering new items. This is the only game where I have purposely avoided watching anything streamed because I didn't want to spoil figuring out the various items. Super fun.
So, TOTALLY different types of layout and style of games. Hopefully there will be some software-only games on the Lexy playfield as well, but either way, prioritize based on how you like to play. Modes, and risk-reward multiball - or fast flow for days.

Quoted from Crile1:

FINALLY! I finally collected a jewel after a Heist. Man, I have choked on that shot so many times. Just the amethyst, but now the pressure is off. "Sweet sassi-molassi!"

Quoted from Crile1:

I had it on 5 ball for the first week or two. Once I got the shots and nudging down, I went back to 3 ball. 5 ball was just too long. I did install the center post (needed it for Lexy...super deep game) and closed the outlanes just a smidge. Not sure about the extra balls. And completed Demo for first time tonight. My pops are a bit weak, which I have read is a problem. Need to adjust the switch to make it more sensitive. That may be your problem. I've had a ball hang up in the pop skirt before. That would delay ball coming down. Something to think about.

Quoted from gstellenberg:

The current code does not have extra balls.
Jewels are just points. MGs are points and will provide advantages in wizard mode.
We're working on a major update that will include this 'wizard mode', which is pretty much an entire second game. Because this wasn't in the original release, we made it fairly difficult to collect all of the characters. When the new release is out, we'll make it easier to qualify and break characters out of jail. We're not publicly guessing when the release will be out, but we have a team of people working on it. It will easily be the deepest and best thematically integrated 'wizard mode' ever in pinball.
Please submit logs for any weird occurrences, like the lockups and non-launching DemoMan mode. Next time you're in attract mode, please make sure to change the setting Info -> Logging Level to All (safe to do in home environments, we default it to less verbose for locations). Then the next time an issue occurs, please exit the game (or power cycle), go to System Manager -> Manage software/apps -> Heist -> Copy Logs to USB. Then send us the Player.log file from P3Logs/Multimorphic, Inc./Heist.
The logs are incredibly helpful when looking for issues like lockups that we haven't been able to reproduce here.

Quoted from Cheeks:

Isn't starting crane multiball about collecting enough money? There are already settings for changing the volume and value of the dollar bills, which I think I was the impetus behind. I wanted aiming for the bills to be more purposeful. I think a few high value bills is more fun than a cloud of cheap bills. It forces you to aim for the bills when they're there versus knowing your ball will roll over most of them and the rest aren't valuable enough to risk shooting for. Heist doesn't really use virtual targets much, so this seemed like a way to incorporate it into the gameplay a bit more.
That said, you could crank up the volume and value of money to be whatever you want to make crane easier to start.

Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

Has any Heist owner removed their coin door and installed a safe? I always thought that would be a cool mod.

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:Has anyone made a P3 playfield caddy similar to what crile1 's friend made? He's no longer taking orders and I'd be interested in either buying one or building one of my own based on available plans if there are any. [quoted image]

Quoted from bingopodcast:

Looks like 2x4 and 1x1s. Playfield appears to hang on the front/rear 2x4 corners, and lean back into the center supports. Should be fairly easy to take some measurements and cut to appropriate size.
I might make some and put some t-nuts and small wheels or casters on them to facilitate moving in a tight area.

I leave mine in the shipping box, and swap back and forth. I like that they are enclosed on all sides, but it's a bit more hassle than something like the above.

Quoted from Zitt:

I still use the original cardboard boxes... That said, I thought Multimorphic would have a solution by now.

Quoted from solarvalue:

Well, knowing Multimorphic, when they do produce a storage container, it will have 1000 RGB LEDs, Mag-lev playfield cushioning, swappable side artwork and internet and bluetooth connectivity.

Quoted from Zitt:

I disagree.
The software team doesn't need to be involved with the mechanical team.
I'm 90% sure the mechanical team is already working on the next game... but it isn't hard to break off and go work on a mechanical solution to module storage.
That said; I consider several on the Multimorphic team friends... so I may just be confusing my thoughts with conversations of the past... which may or may not have been under NDA.
About the time a 3rd party solution comes out; they'll announce something official.

Quoted from bingopodcast:

I would be fine with either - I fight the flaps often.
My gameroom has rubber flooring, so sliders wouldn't work well. It would need wheels of some kind. A carrier that slides under the machine is probably best from a storage space standpoint (and that's where my boxes are currently). A rack would be easier (less bending). So for me, it's a toss up. I would use either.

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

Congrats! Game boxes fit under the P3.

Quoted from boagman:

And I'm going to go a bit against the grain, here, and say that you should keep the difficulty level up high where it is, *especially* where starting multiballs are concerned. I think that one of the things that's been lost over the last 30+ years or so of pinball is the idea that not everything should be attainable on every play, for every player/person. Multiball used to be the SINGULAR OBJECTIVE of a machine, the main goal where you built, and built, and built to, and then made it pay off IF YOU COULD. Oh, you might have a 2-ball quickie interspersed somewhere in there for giggles and light entertainment, but they didn't call it "Quick Multiball" for nothing, you know?
Starting multiball should be an *achievement*. A mile marker. A triumph. Otherwise, it just becomes a cheap thing that everybody can get pretty much regardless of skill level...the "consolation" award that Data East started offering many years ago was, in this man's opinion, a mistake. These days, with several multiballs offered by each machine, it could still be said that multiball is cheapened enough already...do we *really* need to dumb it down too much more? MAKE IT TOUGH TO ACHIEVE.
Allowing for earned EBs could be a help, yes, but don't cheapen the journey to, or the award of, multiball. The dynamics of the game are good as-is, I think: I mean, one of the multiballs is actually *subtractive* in nature, something that I do not believe has ever been done/tried before, and is used here to *terrific* effect!!! You actually *want* to get back down to one ball, and have multiball end by your shooting shots...not draining balls. It's very different, and quite cool.
Multiball should *not* be for everyone...multiball should be for winners, folks. Practice, practice, and practice some more. Don't cheapen it.

Quoted from boagman:

I wouldn't waste too much time/effort trying to force a kid to like something by dumbing it down. He/she's either drawn to it and likes/accepts the challenge of it as-is, or they just aren't that into it. If they can "do" everything that the game has to offer, what long-term effect does that have on the draw of the game of pinball as a whole?
Again, though, it's your basement/household, and you can do what you like/what you think is best, but having everything handed to you does not, to my mind, create an enduring challenge or hold the interest of basically anyone. I mean, why read the whole book when you can just skip to the end and find out what happens, right?
If the kid wants to play Fortnite instead of pinball, let him. When he's older, and his friends mature away from the run-of-the-mill entertainment, he's going to want to be able to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak. Don't dumb pinball down to its shallowest point just to show someone that, by pressing the start button, you can make the machine do what you want. That isn't what pinball is about, and never has been.

Quoted from solarvalue:

Loving this discussion in the club thread.
@Rdoyle have you set up a profile for your kid? You can create a profile with easier rules just for him.

Quoted from Cheeks:

Yeah, I was actually joking about this. The P3 system started the whole co-op thing years ago, but many people who played TMNT think it's a new idea Stern stole from TNA.

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

+1 to the P3 game collection!
[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Cheeks:

Possibly the most under-appreciated game in all of pinball. There literally isn't another game with as much mode diversity. Great use of the walls/scoops and the virtual targets in certain modes. I love the nods (whether intentional or not) to AFM. The alien modes are like killing saucers and the lights out multiball reminds me of AFM's strobe multiball. I can understand if rednecks turn you off, but the voice acting is better in Lexy than Heist.
Congrats!

Quoted from Cheeks:

Buy RitR immediately. Best bang for the buck on the P3. bingopodcast crushed it. Super fun.

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

-- or Multimorphic will have developed an official non-shipping-box storage solution by then.

Quoted from northvibe:

I just swung by SevenEightyRacer 's house and played P3.... I'm not sure how I tilted Heist as the cab never moved... damn it. heist was sooooooo fun, awesome, and addicting. But out of no where ranger in the ruins , that damn game had me pushing start OVER AND OVER. I didn't get to spend more than 2 games on cosmic kart and lexi, which sucks but Yup.... need to sell this ac/dc so I can join this club

Quoted from punkin:

Playfield management would be simplified if the playfields shipped in custom hard plastic suitcases. Like handgun cases with foam inserts.
Would increase upfront cost a little, but it would be the best solution.
Sorry to post in an owners thread, but i may very well become an owner in the next week or two. Just waiting on some shipping quotes.

Quoted from Goyomex:

C'mon gstellenberg ....you teased us in June. Waiting (im)patiently!
Any update on the new playfield you're developing??
[quoted image]

Quoted from punkin:

I'm in! Can i play in your fort now? Is there a secret password?
Are there any girls here?
Do we chuck rocks at those Haggis guys or anyone who attacks the fort?
Wait a sec....i'm a Haggis guy too.

Quoted from punkin:

I wish. Paid the deposit just now, 3 months lead time and then 8 weeks on the water.

Thanks

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

I have Voodoo glass on my P3 and I like it a lot, FWIW.

Quoted from bingopodcast:

Sorry you didn't enjoy your time ruining rangers.
Luckily, the platform allows for different tastes to coexist! I've made three very different styles of games thus far and am making a full module for my fourth.
Perhaps you might enjoy one of the others, perhaps not, but I think it's great that there's a breadth of content that continues to expand (and thank you for giving RITR a play).

Quoted from punkin:

Hope one of them is not mirco.

Quoted from bingopodcast:

I'm exploring a variety of options. (look for a thread soon)

Quoted from Cloud7:

I just realized I didn't post in here that I got my P3 a few weeks ago!

Quoted from punkin:

Shattered. Email from multimorphic in my inbox this morning got me jumping up and down in my chair.
Great news about the wifi update, but not the news about game being ready to ship i was hoping for.

Quoted from rockrand:

I believe you are getting the combo with Heist ,CC,and lexy,I love them all,I have cannon lagoon also and am saving up for the pitch and bat game that uses that module,p3 is so different from conventional games, when you hear all the ball clanking into the steel pan and popping balls from everywhere,I have voodoo glass and a Polk sub on mine,good stuff.
I know the initial investment is rough but when you see the quality and weight of the p3 ,when you pull the playfield up for the first time you will realize this thing is a Marvolus machine,
Be sure you pull the playfield up using both Arms ,I made the mistake to just use one arm and tweaked my neck.
It’s a beast.

Quoted from rockrand:

Would you says it’s more fun than cannon!

Quoted from Cheeks:

The problem is the price. How a pitch and bat on the CL playfield costs only $100 less than Sorcerer's Apprentice, which is a really cool FULL game makes no sense. GSR is literally the only P3 game I don't own. GSR should be priced more in the range of Nick's games.

Quoted from punkin:

Youtube of Rocs is what pushed me into the purchase. Just love the concept of the pinball/arcade mashup, even though i have not one iota of interest in arcades.

Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

CCR module can do head-to-head over the internet. Not sure which other modules can yet.

Quoted from punkin:

Can you tell me how you use the machine? What modules do you have?
Do you swap from module to module and game to game a lot, or do you find your self mostly playing the same games/modules?

Quoted from punkin:

Any suggestions on how to get the game to recognise the module that's in it? Any cables i should reseat etc?
[quoted image]

Quoted from punkin:

There was one of the three plugs in the heist module loose, looked like a phone plug. Is there supposed to be only three sockets on the heist playfield?
It worked sorta ok for a few games and then the flippers died mid ball and won't start back up.

Quoted from punkin:

Flippers were the usb coming loose all by itself again i think.
Now Lexie playfield won't work, constant ball search.
sigh...

Quoted from punkin:

[quoted image]

Quoted from punkin:

Is there a way to do a rest or something on these?
It's seized on rocs and powering up and down does nothing and no buttons work now. Started by a game of rocs blowing up and one scoop wouldn't reset, now nothing happens.

Quoted from punkin:

No, what i'm saying is powering the game back on and off get's me to the frozen rocs screen. I can't get out of it.

Quoted from punkin:

Thank Gerry i know it's a big weekend for you guys and i'm having fun with the machine while i wait to get it all functioning.
It's not my first machine and i know they never work properly out of the box.
I also knew i'd never have a problem with support from you and your team before i laid my money down, so i don't want to come off all needy.
In the next few days i'll have a chance to try and figure out the diagnostics and swap the playfields etc, but work will get in the way today i think.
Thanks for the tips. I Will probs play with the launch strength on Heist today if i can figure it out.

Quoted from gstellenberg:

No worries... you can install zoom or skype on your phone. Can just do a voice call too - even that would get us a lot farther / quicker than written messages. Really whatever makes you comfortable is fine, but probably best to handle it off of pinside, and we can come back to post what we learned and what the resolution was.

https://www.multimorphic.com

Quoted from JustLikeMe:

Quick question for P3 owners with more than one upper playfield module - with the bottom two thirds of the playfield remaining the same when switching over, how different do different games feel and play? Ie switching between the core games - Heist / Lexi / Cosmic Cart - do they feel similar or very different?

Quoted from Zitt:

I'm sure they'll announce when they are ready.
Last thing we want us a paper launch like Haggis' Fathom 2.0

Quoted from punkin:

Not sure yet. They sent me a motherboard that didn't fix the issues i was having, then they had me going over all sorts of stuff until i threw up my hands and admitted i was technically incompetent.
So then they got a tech in and he has disabled a board that seemed to sort of solve the issues i was having. They now have a board and some cables coming to me (although it was weeks ago it was disabled) and the tech has to come back and see if that has resolved it ....sometime.
I have to say it hasn't been my best pinball experience at all. And i'm thousands in the red because of the air freight as i was excited and hoping to take it to Pinfest to show it off to Australia.
My mates who were interested in buying one are no longer interested.

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

The sound is normal, happens on all P3s as far as I know.

Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

Look in your backbox before you buy one. There should already be a filter installed.

Quoted from tjw998:

If adjusting the height still has the ball contacting the bottom of teh jail cell, make sure the transition from the lower playfield plastic to the walls/ the walls to the scoops/ and the scoops to the playfield is smooth with no high spots. Ideally they are all level with each other or slightly lower than what is in front of it.

Quoted from KevInBuffalo:

The subwoofer in the P3 is pretty beefy already. It's the only machine I haven't hooked an external sub to in my collection.
But if you wanted to I'd just connect to the cabinet speaker and use the line-level inputs on the external sub. That's how I do it on all my other games.

Quoted from Cheeks:

Here are a few posts I've made in the past detailing my thoughts as an early adopter, and some considerations about the other 3 main playfields. Just note that the first link is older, before Sorcerer's Apprentice came out.

As for mini-games: if you buy CCR - you have to buy Ranger in the Ruins. Great, cheap mini-game. But even before that, any CCR owner should also buy Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's not a mini-game, it's a full-on new game (rules, graphics, etc.) for the CCR playfield.
ROCs is awesome, and works on any playfield module - it's Asteroids with a pinball. Really fun. The rest are more niche games that may or may not fit your style.

Quoted from Jay_Killjoy:

Distributor reached out and let me know he expects my WAMONH in December. Going to be a long wait!

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Happy to see some of these pins go out the door to customer. I was surprised to see these going out so early as I thought the earliest shipping times people got in their estimate emails (that I'm aware of) were in October... are these going out way ahead of schedule or are there just a few going out now, followed by a few month wait followed by serious production. Just asking as I'd need to move another pin to free up space and raise funds.
Thanks!

Quoted from MrMikeman:

Don't forget to take into account that MultiMorphic had 4-6 months of backlog for the P3. So those in the queue before Weird Al was announced can request a WA module when their machine goes on the line. Common sense dicates that they should be able to get their WAMONH before those that placed an order only after it was announced(talking about full P3 machines here).

Quoted from Jay_Killjoy:

I do not currently own a P3, I won a Weird Al LE (full game) from project pinball! Definitely going to get a Heist as well.

Quoted from northvibe:

Another sweet upgrade setting. All flippers on one side can be activated by that one flipper button.
[quoted image]

Quoted from gstellenberg:

The default will remain separate buttons. We need podcasters to have *something* to talk about! I maintain it's also a better playing experience once you get used to it. I wish other machines with upper flippers had separate buttons and have asked Scott to consider making a mod for all non-P3 machines to add a 2nd button to the cabinet.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Question on the P3 system.
I have ordered a P3 with Heist and Weird Al. I enjoy the machine and play lots of games on it. My friend Bob orders a P3 at the same time as me and gets Weird Al and Cosmic Cart Racing. Can I do a temporary trade of just the Heist module for CCR and have both machines work without having to pay for additional software? I understand it would 100% work if we traded machines and modules, but what about just the modules?
The reason I'm asking is I'm leaning more towards CCR than Heist at the moment and might switch my order when it's my turn to get built (ETA October). I figure most people who are getting a second module are getting Heist and figured if I was in the minority with a CCR it might be easier to do temp trades.
Thanks!
Also, got to play Heist on location at Pinball Gallery outside Philidealphia last week (highly recommended). It's a really neat game and system. I look forward to what else P3 has in store for us.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Does a NIB P3 ship with the first module installed?
P3 Weird Al will be the heaviest machine I have and I am going to have to wrestle it down a hill to get it into my basement arcade. I am trying to figure out if it ships with the module inside the machine or if the module ships seperately. I am trying to figure out if I would need to unbox it to remove the module in order to make moving it down the hill a bit easier.
Thanks and looking forward to getting my P3 in six months or so.

Quoted from rockrand:

Has anyone received a wal module?

Quoted from rockrand:

I don’t see anything!but good on them!

Quoted from MrMikeman:

There are no unboxings yet. Only one that we heard about in that thread is the game that went to the distributor that provided the raffle games.

Quoted from MrMikeman:

Fliptronic on Twitch. They are involved somehow with Multimorphic. She was the girl playing the game in the original release video. They took home one of the demo games from TPF. IIRC they have a loaner cab but the module is theirs.
There have been no reports yet of regular customers getting their Weird Al game or module.

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

Just played ROCs for the first time with the Heist module. I didn’t realize the third flipper would work, but I really liked having it.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

I just received the following email from Multimorphic.
Thank you once again for your recent order. In addition to the shipping estimate we provided at the time of your order, we'll continue sending periodic updates about our manufacturing progress. Also feel free to contact us at any time by emailing [email protected].
With help from some of our customers and distributors, P3s have been available for play at a number of recent pinball shows in the US, and we're looking forward to shipping units overseas so that pinball fans everywhere can enjoy Weird Al's Museum of Natural Hilarity (WAMONH) and the rest of the P3 game library.
Our primary focuses right now are growing our manufacturing team so we can increase production throughput, addressing any issues discovered in early shipments, and continuing to enhance the WAMONH software. While we're in good shape with parts inventory and managing the supply chain, we need to scale up faster in order to keep pace with our estimated ship dates. We're currently a couple of weeks behind with shipments of both machines and standalone playfields, but we hope to catch up to our estimates in the coming weeks.
We and 3rd-party P3 developers have recently released updates to nearly the entire P3 game library to add in support for the flipper upgrade kit and the motorized wall/scoop assembly, among other enhancements. If you already have a P3 and it's connected to the internet, you can read the release notes and update your games via Wi-Fi. Otherwise, just log into your account at https://www.multimorphic.com to download and install via USB.
The Multimorphic development team is working on a software update for Weird Al's Museum of Natural Hilarity that will introduce the You Make Me mini-wizard mode, an enhanced UHF multiball, and a special Drink From The Firehose challenge. We've also made a number of minor changes and improvements based on feedback from early customers and players at shows, and we've added even more quotes from Weird Al (now over 2500).
We know you're all eager to get your games. We're eager them get them to you. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions..

Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:

Just got production notification, woohoo! Grabbing Al, Heist, and CCR. Ordered back in September so very excited to finally join the club.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

You guys were right I pushed on the playfield and it clicked into place . Game is playable now I’m not worried about the leveling I thought it was all messed up because of air balls so now I just have to fix that wood chip and I’m golden ![quoted image]

Quoted from twitami:

Weird problem on my P3. All of my GI lighting, and some of my scoops' lights are out. The P3 logo is dark too. This a fuse issue you think or something else?
