Does anybody know if both sides of the Premium Cabinet are the same artwork, or different?

When do you think Stern will show us accessories. I’ve seen the picture of Mothra’s egg shooter rod. It’s interesting the premium doesn’t have flipper button protection side armor?

Quoted from DeathHimself:So I have been looking at Tilt graphics ramp decals, is the right ramp supposed to be a roadway to the bridge or railroad? I'm a bit confused on this one lol.
I think the road looks better.
Quoted from Kurtpinba11:Anyone else have the tower entry rubber and clip break yet?
This is a pain in the ass to fix. I’ve had to disassemble the tower. In my opinion, the rubber is too thick or the screws are too short. I cannot get the screws to go all the way through again, and they don’t seem to want to catch the thread. Other side isn’t loose yet, but I’m betting it will be at some point once it takes enough hits.

mine just broke as well. So looks like this is going to be a problem. Mine was the same side as well. If yours is like mine the screws are fine but the little posts are stripped out. I have a call in to my distributor. So hopefully they can replace that bottom section. Sucks with out those there it’s unplayable.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:Will longer screws be a problem, hitting anything? Might be worth the trip to hardware store , I'd like to have a few on hand if they will fit.
Yes the interior area is where the ball enters the building. So it appears the stress of getting hit it knocking and stripping out the posts. Not the screws. And can’t put anything in there or it will hit the ball.
I might have a temp fix. But waiting to see what distributor come back with from stern first. Don’t want to void my warranty.

Quoted from Reul1:I have the same issue with mine. There are no threads in the left side That the 4x40 screws are to be tightened into. The screws just push in. It is like they are stripped out, but I looked at it and there wasn’t anything for the screws to tighten to. The right side was fine and I tried a screw from the left side and put it on the right and it works just fine.
I tried to tap it to the next size but now the nut will turn in there, not allowing it to tighten correctly.
Looks like the 1st floor will need to be replaced at least. I asked if they would just replace the building but have not heard back from Stern or my distributor yet. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Yep that is the same as mine!
Quoted from LEDMARTIANEYES:A temporary fix may larger diameter screws and re tapping the posts. A more permanent fix would be to grind the head of a longer screw down near flat with a slight Arc ... Insert thru the center and use a lock nut in the outside. You would need to hold the shaft of the screw to tighten the nut. Then you can cut the screw after the nut if necessary for clearance. It looks like they may have to rethink the way the bumpers attach if there continue to be problems.
When I tried to insert a different screw the posts just broke off like they were barely attached. So with sterns delays, I asked my distributor if I bush fix this will there be a problem. He said he would take care of me. So my quick fix was to take small t-nuts and enlarge the holes to fit them. Of course cutting off the spikes and getting them as flat as possible. It’s working for now because the blue pads keep the ball fairly close for the center of the passageway. So my game is playable for now and hoping stern can come thru with parts to fix correctly soon.

Quoted from RikV:Seems like a fine field fix, but I'm still confused on this; do you think that the steel captured nuts where never installed on the left side? It looks like the right side is the way both sides are intended, are you positive that there aren't two small nuts rattling around in the bottom of the cabinet?
I’m seeing no nuts in the bottom of my cab. I don’t think they are there like the other side and it was just held in by the posts. Then ball hits to the rubber just yanked them out.

Quoted from prentice:PSA: That’s a $10 item in Amazon when in stock. I just got mine late last year. Wonder if this seller bought out all the current stock or something. The egg comes with as well; I mounted it over the outlane and replaced the 2D mothra with the figure.
Edit: oh it’s you darkryder! I think you snapped a pic of mine while you were picking up Alien.
[quoted image]
Yeah they are not $10 anymore. I paid more and modified the figure. So whatever. Amazon is selling them for $30 now. The shipping priority mail is $10.50. Plus the stripe fee on the store is $4. So yeah my time. I’m not sipping champagne on the beach somewhere.

I’m just trying to make something cool.
Quoted from darkryder:I don't think Magic is trying to rip anyone off and my time is valuable. If the parts don't look good in the game when I receive them, they'll go in the coin box with other stuff that didn't appear as advertised. I'm confident these will look good on the Godzilla LE! There seems to be no limit to the amount of mods on Godzilla and these are cool inexpensive mods.
Darkryder, thanks
If you hate it let me know. Tracking coming tonight but couldn’t mail today.
A quick hovering mothra video.
Remember these are modified Mothra’s
Get yours here before they are gone. I’m only doing a limited number of them.
