Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

Wow that is $1000 off what I just paid in full!

Who did you buy from?

#171 6 years ago
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

Konghuskers Distro.

Well...isn't automated charging 9k and shipping is extra.

#180 6 years ago

Don't forget that there are 800 LEs.

If Stern had kept this at 500 or 600, then there would be a shortage.

#184 6 years ago
Quoted from konghusker:

I agree with this. It was just interesting how some distributors were holding to the 9k price at first, and have now realized that the game demand isn't high enough to command that price. It's just interesting is all, and just shows that the Le needed more to it.

Is Star Wars LE looked like Star Trek LE...distributors could've charged 9k and still would've sold out.

It's disappointing that Stern went away from the Star Trek LE design.

#52 is on the way.

#282 6 years ago
Quoted from AJB4:

#2 here - was told 2 weeks...

How did you pull that off?

#311 6 years ago

Mine was in St. Louis as of yesterday. Should be here in a day or 2.

#352 6 years ago
Quoted from pinchamp:

Don't start a dumpster fire? For $8800 they don't even test the LE before shipping? Seriously? Yeah I get it, easy fix - but Cmon man that ain't cool -

Sometimes shit happens after it leaves the factory.

Stern will stand behind it.

#372 6 years ago
Quoted from Ballsofsteel:

so nobody has a camera to film their LE in action? this is starting to get strange.

Mine will be up soon.

Game should arrive tomorrow or Friday.

#382 6 years ago

Mine arrives Friday.

#475 6 years ago

#52 is upstairs and will be unboxed tonight.

Be on the lookout for a video from PinballSupernova, https://www.youtube.com/user/pinballsupernova/feed , showing unboxing, all the details of the machine and gameplay.

#498 6 years ago
Quoted from Chambahz:

Got the new code working -thanks guys.
Really enjoying the game so far. We've only put a few games on it but it is providing an awesome initial wow fun factor.
If anyone's on the fence, my suggestion is "hang in there"!
Question for current owners: The forks that lift to the ramp under the deathstar...
I made the shot at LEAST 3 times, and solidly, I would say -but they were all rejected.
Are you having the same issue? Seems like I need to tweak it somehow.
Edit: we've hit it a couple times, but still appears to be less than perfect.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Same here.

Haven't figured out yet what to do. By the end of the night, we were hitting it pretty consistently. But still not perfect.

#512 6 years ago
Quoted from Apollyon:

The ONLY thing I now care about is that I get my LE before beelzeboob.

It's a guarantee you will get yours before beezleboob.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

IS THERE A VIDEO OF THE HYPERLOOP YET?

Will be posted soon.

#521 6 years ago

Video is up.

Special shout out to PinballSupernova for taking a video of my machine.

#531 6 years ago

In the video I posted above, we filmed the Death Star exploding.

#535 6 years ago

I think it could use brighter leds in the explosion section.

The other thing they could've done, was to get rid of the egg and load the interior up with flashers. Kill the lights in the machine, have it open up and the flashers inside going nuts.

#541 6 years ago

I had 3 or 4 balls going in the hyperloop earlier...I lost count with them flying around in there.

#544 6 years ago
Quoted from Hoser:

Thanks for the feedback.
Other LE owners, after a few days of playing, what do you honestly thing of the Hyper Ramp? 1 - 10 on the adrenaline meter?
Anyone got an LE within a 2 hour drive of Montreal? PM me. I could gladly supply beverages and Maple Syrup!
Not used to these NIB jitters ...

It's a 10 on the adrenaline meter...especially when there's a few balls in there whipping around.

#572 6 years ago
Quoted from orb:

Wondering if someone could show the alternative translites.

The pro and premium translites come with the LE.

#577 6 years ago
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

I forgot to mention. The sound on the game is pretty good stock. I don't feel a need for a shaker motor with the sound cranked up.

Get the shaker. Have it in mine. Works well with the game.

#588 6 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Well delivery truck just came and left, I refused delivery. I don't know what Im dealing with inside this damaged box.

Cut that area open on 3 sides. Fold back, will be a lot easier to look inside.

#615 6 years ago

Has anyone figured out to keep the Tatooine shot from going straight down the middle? That shot badly needs a ball save.

#628 6 years ago
Quoted from DavidPinballWizz:

Go to adjustments menu and adjust left kickout value.

Tried it.

I don't want to make it weak where it just falls to the right flipper.

#635 6 years ago
Quoted from DEN:

Does Sw le have old ballyeilliams leg brackets inside?

Yes and a new bolting system at the top of the corner.

#638 6 years ago
Quoted from TheLaw:

Nice...I hear that's pretty much the only Jaba reference in the game?

?

Rancor mode and escape from Tatooine is the sarlaac pit.

#683 6 years ago

I have my game playing perfectly. Hyperloop shot works perfect, the kick out doesn't send any straight down the middle...this game is TONS of fun.

The LE theme fits the game perfectly.

Pinside: What a piece of junk.

This game may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. Steve Ritchie made a lot of special modifications himself.

The more I play this game, the more it's becoming my favorite.

Photos and videos do not do this game justice. It has to be seen. It has to be played.

#825 6 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Is it hard to do? Do you have to heat gun the old one, scrap it off then carefully apply the new one? My LE waS also missing the additional translites. My distributor contacted Stern to have them sent to me.

You should be able to pull it off. Make sure to clean off the leftover glue before putting the new one on.

#834 6 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Should I use goo gone? Or just alcohol as you guys suggested, plain alcohol ?

Goo gone (or something like that), then rubbing alcohol.

#837 6 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

You guys think I made it worse?

Order a new decal. Your distributor will be able to order just that decal.

#848 6 years ago

Never use heat when taking off the backbox decals. The material the decal sits on can peel up too.

#859 6 years ago

I'm loving this game more and more.

Tonight's scores...friends totally abused my game.

8.9 billion
3.7 billion
2 billion (me)
1.9 billion
1.8 billion (me)

On the 8.9 billion game, my buddy was at 500 million entering Destroy the Death Star...he put up 5.8 billion in that mode without destroying the death star.

I really wish people would stop judging games based on the reveal. AC/DC, Star Trek, Dialed In, Game of Thrones, Aerosmith, and Star Wars all got bashed before anyone played them...and they all are incredibly fun games to play.

I destroyed 187 TIE fighters tonight.

I played all 4 mini-wizard modes. I'm guessing whatever follows that hasn't been coded yet.

#891 6 years ago

What about lightsaber dual?

#895 6 years ago
Quoted from Bond_Gadget_007:

"I destroyed 187 TIE fighters tonight.
I played all 4 mini-wizard mode"
How long did all of this take you? Some claim longer ball times than Lotr to achieve everything, especially with stacking off
Also what was your score. Same as playing death star MB or higher?

I ended up around 2 billion. I had terrible mini-wizard modes.

Don't remember how long it took. I played as Han, first plunge I selected Tatooine missions. Then I shoot Endor to light it. With Han, you only need 1 Tatooine and 1 Endor. So I stack them. Then I light Hoth and Death Star, stack them too.

I missed a huge jackpot with 40x going.

Probably my best worst game ever. It should've been a 10 billion point game, but everything that had value I missed.
