Final payment made with confirmation it should reach my distributor next week and then hop on a truck to me. Let's go! I get more and more excited with every stream I watch.
Quoted from TKDalumni:Ok see that, but pretty big miss to not have an indicator that it is the EB target...
May not be obvious from top down shots (hell may not be obvious in person, I haven't played it yet) but the sanctum target does have indicators on it.

Can't seem to get my backbox to go all the way back, which means I can't bolt it in. I feel like I'm being dense but I've triple checked and no wiring in the way. Any ideas? This is only my second NIB Stern and first time I've run into such a thing. I do have an email into Stern.

Yeah I went as far as removing the top most staple and moving the grounding strap out of the way. It's weird, almost like the bottom metal might have some kind of bowing keeping it above the cabinet.
IMG_4420 (resized).jpegQuoted from RVH:Is the metal bent here like they bolted it down with a screw underneath the plate?
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. We'll see what Stern says but not sure what to "adjust" there so I'm leaving it. Almost worse than the wait of a new pin is having it stare right at you and not being able to play. Sigh.
Quoted from Thomas3184:You can install the inside bolts if they are flush instead of the outside ones.
Unfortunately not sitting flush there either and I didn't want to use too much force for fear of being accused of breaking something. It definitely appears to be a bent head like the bottom got pulled by the brackets. There is also damage on the side art of the head. Distributor has pics and info so we'll get it worked out someway or another.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Now that hes contacted his distributor, I'd find a way to secure that head up, and play it like hell. Bungie cords, wire ties, make shift brackets, something.
I may get creative in the meantime 
I just don't want to risk it falling back onto the cabinet so whatever I do will need to be secure as hell.
Quoted from chubtoad13:I would remove your back box hinges and see if the head goes all the way back.
I may just do that. Even with the bend in the metal I feel like the weight of the backbox should allow more movement to close this gap but it doesn't want to move at all which makes me think the hinges aren't aligned correctly.
Quoted from NoQuarters:Check that neither of the two "receivers" for the bolts are not bent.
No bend at all in them, they clear the holes into the cabinet no problem, it just can't make it flush. No damage on the box at all.
