When I think about the money I have spent in my life on...
- Tits and ass
- Alcohol
- Drugs
- Food
- Sports Cars
Your logic about the cost of buying a sight unseen LE pinball machine dissolves into the mist of my dying brain cells.

That side armor looks like complete crap. The art style is totally detached from anything else on any model of the machines and looks like a complete afterthought. How anyone could consider these things 'complimenting' the amazing styling of these cabs needs their eyes testing.

If Microsoft can name an entire new product Hololens, Stern can name a dollar sized image a hologram - MARKETING!!!!
So far from this thread I've learned magnets give you cancer and Gary Stern's laughing face will be revealed by playfield wear around the new slings within 3 months of owning an LE even if you don't play it. Ecto Goggles only work with prismatic laminated play field glass synced to 90hz shutter glasses while standing on a stool at an angle of 49.75 degrees above the game - only then will the 5ft high floating dingo ghost come out of the machine and eat your babies.
FFS, the amount of shit-waffling in this thread is beyond comprehension.

Still no premium/LE game play video, man I don't think I'm being unreasonable saying this is really dragging, especially with some LE's 'apparently' hitting doorsteps by the end of the month.
I haven't heard from my distro yet about my LE but I know it's just a small shop so I'm sure I'll be closer to #500 than #1
Just got a reply from my distributor saying he was at the factory on Monday and said the production was going great guns but he didn't see any LE or premium on the line yet. His best guess was mid-to-late-May but hasn't heard anything concrete from Stern.
Quoted from Eryeal:Huh? Pros are shipping out now and are on the line.
Overseas pros, not domestic US, they come later
Quoted from seenev:Seriously though... why?

Quoted from Ed209:Pro's are already starting to ship domestically. Local barcade received two yesterday.

Today we saw the game the way it was meant to be.
I was also concerned about the slings like most of us and although I wouldvlike to see them more sensitive I do think they 'belong' in the game to create the overall balance that we saw today. Maybe after a few more code tweaks we will see that the mag-slings are the 'only' way to experience this game in it's total realization.
The Pro's are great and offer so much for their cost, but I'm glad I ordered my LE early on.
....of course I'm biased....DUH!!!
Quoted from jonesjb:So here's my take on the magna slings using one switch. It's about validating the ball position. There is only one magnet per side, and the magnet (being a magnet) will pull the ball perpendicular from where it hits the sling directly towards the magnet.
In order for the slings to work and replicate the normal sling kick, it needs to validate that the ball is centrally positioned to pull the ball up and away. With 2 switches, the magnet would act sporadically, and pull the ball down through the flippers at times. With one switch, the ball confirms the ball's position and the magnet and code can work it's magic. It's a pretty smart setup.
Stop being intelligent and presenting evidence that pinball designers may know more about pinball design than a bunch of pinsiders. Your words offend me, much like all the naughty words in this game. #moralDownfallOfSociety

Now that's a collection of Meh if ever I saw one 8-P. What did you do, rent a uHaul one Saturday afternoon and buy everything on Craigs list within 3 miles of your house?
Quoted from Bing_Party:What is Craigs list? Ok..see i am not a real sensitive guy, sensitive people please put me on ignore it does not bother me. If it was a auto forum it would but its pinball. I really wouldnt call it a collection, cause i dont consider myself a collector. My man cave is games are just a side show for folks that get bored of whats on for sports or knocked out of a poker tournament. Games were added over 10 years thats why they are in excellent condition. People like me do not run around in Uhauls, maybe you will get to where I am some day. I route for folks to make a lot a money because I am not the jealous type. Look at it like this, if I want whatever it is that is your top 10 units, I would buy it. The units i have are my favorites, so what may be 'meh' to you means nothing to me. Because i have the ability to go and buy whatever i want. Money does not buy happiness, but i buys you the yacht where you can pull up along site it. I am sorry if you are JV, its pinball get over yourselves. And for those who are upset, well sorry I guess. I gotta cut and paste this and put it on another forum, this is really good stuff lol, please keep it coming cause me a few others are getting a good chuckle
You talk a lot for a none-sensitive guy.
Quoted from Bing_Party:And i only have 2 domestic, rest are less reliable.
All smell like Axe body spray and are coated in a thin film of hair pomade, the one currently in the shop none-working due to selfie incident.
Quoted from Ed209:Why does T.J. Miller's voice keep popping in my head when I read your posts?
I'm thinking more along these lines...
Quoted from Flato:Really thought GB LE would have been almost finished at this point Stern must be waiting in till I go on vacation to deliver mine
^^^^This! I leave for Costa Rica for 10 days on the 17th, going to have to get my Distributer to hold mine until I get back (yeah I know 1st world problems)

Heard from my distributor this morning, he is in Chicago and picks up his pins direct from the factory. Said that Stern told him they are a little behind with the LEs but they should be ready soon, not really useful info but I am glad that my distributor gets his info direct from people on the shop floor face-to-face.
