Finally saw both the Premium and LE at Expo. I have to say that the Premium is by far the best looking of the bunch, but for game play I saw very little difference between the three versions. There are some, but they're so subtle that it couldn't justify the added cost.

I would go for the Pro. With the $ saved, have it modified to your taste, put your favorite car replica in it... even add a custom-made translite?

The way I have my Pro bling'd out there is no way I upgrade. My Pro looks so bad ass now, the only thing I'm missing that I can think of is a matching candy red coin door, shaker and a red lit shooter knob.

Has anyone approached joe to make a custom mustang topper?

Not that I've heard of.

I got to play a mustang pro at EXPO in the free play area Friday. I really like the play. Not sure what code it was running, but it played fast and pretty smooth. I like it much more than The Walking dead in terms of smoothness and flow. What would be a good price from a distributor?

Love mine, glad you like it too, you must be a car guy. I got mine from Melissa at Coin Taker for $4700 delivered. Give her a call and tell her I sent you. She may throw in a couple of extras.

Believe or not, my first car was a new 68' RS Camaro, 350, 295 HP (short block version), 10.5 compression engine, 3.73 Drive train. Premium (leaded) was $0.30 a gallon then before the oil embargo/energy crisis of 73-73. Paid $3,500 for it. It was yellow with black hood striping body side pinstripes. (yeah I am an ole fart!). One of my pals had a 69' Mach I, powder blue. We loved these cars. I got my camaro, then went active duty and my dad would drive it once a week to keep it going for over a year and half while i was gone. Sold it in 1974 during energy crisis. Bummer!!

In North America there are tons of Mustang related items in the market place. Adding a topper that can be made from car models or car parts purchased from Ford Dealers, on line, even Wal-Mart. Would be easier than trying to get Ford Motor Company to authorize the design, and sale of a topper.

I played several games on the LE in the free play area at Expo. I thought it wasn't a bad game at all. I didn't really get a chance to explore the rules, but it shot well.

Oh man you should have kept it. So glad I kept mine.

Just a quick question guys. What's the finish on the boss premium armour. In the fliers it looks like a normal basic black stern powdercoat? Or does it have a smoother nicer finish?

On the pro vs LE/prem debate, I have a question about the MUSTANG letter collecting on the pro. I really love how the turntable works on the LE. The letters are around the base of the turntable and each letter is collected by hitting the scoop when that letter rotates around to the front. It adds a really cool hurry-up / timing factor in my opinion. It's sure a far cry from all of the whining that "the turntable doesn't do anything" that I've read. How does collecting the letters work on the pro?

The other thing I will say about that turntable...lots of people have complained that you can't see the pop bumpers because it is so big. What I didn't realize until seeing it in person is the turntable is clear and you actually have a better view of the pops than you do on the pro. I did have a little more trouble seeing the lanes in the LE...but then again I'm short. If I were a couple inches taller I don't think it would have been a problem. It really wasn't a big deal though...I just had to stretch a little when I needed to see what lanes were lit.

If I had the money, I would order a BOSS right now over everything else on the market. I liked the pro alot the little I've gotten to play it in the past, but I really fell in love at Expo. Premium would be my preference, but all 3 models are pretty awesome. The pro cabinet is gorgeous...

Only the LE has powder coat. The Premium has a textured paint. Which kind of echoes the black wrinkle finish on the 289 Hi-Po valve covers. The Premium does have a powder coated lower apron.

I switched my Pro armor over to candy red and it REALLY changes the appearance of the game for the better. Now to save up for a candy red coin door and a red lit shooter knob.

On the pro Mustang letter collection...

I haven't totally figured it out, but it seems you collect a letter the first time you land in the scoop. After you get the first letter, you need to complete something before it's enabled again. Also, it doesn't seem to award a letter during modes or multiball. There's no real indication that it's lit, but that's sort of the cool mystery about it and makes hitting the scoop when not much else is going on a reward. I wonder if you can collect letters on the premium this way too. I think on the premium, hit the "A" drop when the letter is rotated over it?

My favorite strategy lately is trying to complete Cruisn' mode. Work the shots & drops. Wait to start multiball until the 3rd wave when the shot is moving.

Also, on the light extra ball setting, it's adjustable to light when "X" mode is lit -or- light after "X" mode is completed. Having it set to after the 4th mode is completed, seems to work well.

I'll have to check that out. For a fairly simple game, there's still a few things I haven't figured out!

A little off topic but what do you guys think of the new Pingrafix Mustang Pinblades?

It seems the pin graphics color scheme would suit the pro more than the other models. Looks cool to me and is a bit of a change from mirror blades

Ask Lonnie the pinball record holder how it plays. He sat in front of one with the new code for 50 hours straight so he should have a good idea.

Mustang has gone from a decent game to a really good one. It will take some time for the masses to catch up. It is a well kept secret right now what a good playing game it is!

Ya'll hush now with the praise of this title. I want one down the road and I don't need it pulling an Iron Man on me cost wise (pre-VE)

I knew it was a good game after just a few games, very fast and fun. It's a keeper for me.

The smell of burnt rubber

For a game that started out with almost no interest. It has actually turned into a fun game!!

You got the ball bouncing off the rubbers so fast they are startin to burn?

I think it's ALWAYS been a fun game and gotten better with the 1.40.

Hello,
I just bought a mustang.
I do not understand Multiball.
The insert "multiball" is on. I put the ball, but it does not start right away.
We must put the ball several times.
Is this normal?
