Stern STAR WARS club...May The Force Be With You

In for the LE, my first NIB, and excited as all get out.

I've seen several people say they've ordered a shaker motor for their SW, but do we have any confirmation it's supported? I mean, it's not coming standard on any model, which is a departure from previous LEs.

I get that Spike supports it, but that doesn't mean code will be written for it.

Ah, totally missed that. I see it now.

Considering the LE is largely sold out at most distributors, it seems unlikely they'll bother jazzing it up much. I mean, I'm in for an LE, so please Stern jazz away, but it doesn't make a lot of business sense.

I could potentially see them doing something that impacts both the Premium and LE, since premiums will be available new for years.

I have no doubt Stern will let us give them money to jazz it up ourselves.

Just got the call. My LE is on the truck...half way across the country. But at least it's on its way.

And yet I'll get mine before you.

I get that a lot.

Anybody know anything about Road Runner Transportation Systems? They're the carrier for my LE, but I've never worked with them before.

Well, after a couple days of shipping screw ups, looks like you'll get yours first after all. They're currently predicting then 29th.

Okay, it's sitting in my garage. Trying to find some guys to help me get it inside and up the stairs.

Well, rented an escalara and got the LE into the house. Already late for work, so I'll tackle the stairs tonight.

LE 440 is finally setup. Got a couple games in tonight, but I need to get up super early in the morning (stupid job), so tomorrow will be the late night of leveling, updating software, checking out everything in the menus, and playing the crap out of it.

And yes, it's currently in our bedroom, but only because it's permanent home is under construction.

Been a crazy weekend, but I finally got the machine leveled up, everything tested, and a few games in (let the kids play a few games, too).

This thing is fast, and I'm not the greatest player. My ball-fu needs to improve dramatically. It's a sad commentary when my 4 year old knocked off my high score.

It's fun and immersive. The inner loop is a serious SDTM shot. I hit the hyperspace hurry up once and that was an extremely satisfying shot.

When our remodel is done, and I have an honest to god rec room, I'll have room for 3-4 games and I'm certain SWLE will be a long term member of that line up, if only because it will take me years to see the Death Star blow up outside of the service menu.

Yeah. I’m seeing the ball pop out more often than not now. Very frustrating, since I’m not the greatest player and don’t hit the shot as often as I’d like.

I’ve seen a couple comments about a service bulletin, but I can’t seem to find it. Come someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the info. Other than watching for someone else to comment on Pinside, is there some way to get notified about service bulletins?

My 5 & 7 yo girls love it, and they’re not into pinball or Star Wars (and they’re only just starting to get into video games).

I ordered both service notice kits for my LE a couple weeks ago, and got them about a week later.
