Quoted from PlayPin:

I was seriously looking at doing the same thing. What finally burned me out was trying to keep up with the hundreds of posts about various problems with JJPOTC. Quality issues of just about every kind seem to be on the owners thread. It's a very complex game and the last thing I feel like is getting another new game that needs lots of tweaking and repairs to keep it playing. Especially when it costs $9500 for the premium version. Problems included bubbles in the art work on cabinets, chipping on playfields, cable harnesses rubbing through to bare wires(too short), etc. Not just minor adjustment stuff, but unacceptable quality issues too. It's all on the owners thread but I got weary trying to keep up with it all(currently at nearly 600 posts). Very sad because I really liked a lot of things about the game. In the end its not worth dumping Star Wars to get it for me. Besides I have still not faced the Emperor. I have blown the death star many times(mostly Endor) though and its always a rush. I have he premium version which I think makes that harder to do but much more satisfying. The love or hate thing about this game to me is it takes strategy to master it. Not a good game for zoning out and just having a mindless escape. If you are not paying attention you will not get very far. It rewards those who patiently learn the rules and begin to build various strategies to accomplish them. There are many different ways to play it too which keeps its interesting. The depth of the rules, the difficulty, and the freedom to play it so many different ways is what I think make it such a great long term home game. I also prefer the "mode based" structure of the game which has great video/audio clips from the series to reward your progress.

How do you know this? I mean I hope its true but the massive posts on the owners thread sure give me a different impression. I personally just have far less patience than I used to for repairing new games. Not to mention having to start over with the upgrades that I like to install. I have put about 2K of upgrades into my S.W. premium. To be fair Star Wars looked empty by comparison and badly needed some help. It took a long time to get everything I wanted ordered & installed including a full playfield protector from germany(to prevent dimples). It looks & plays so sweet now I don't think I can part with it. Believe me JJPOTC really got my attention and I would love to own it. I am in the same boat and need to sell one to afford another and have room for it. All the work of starting the whole process over is just too much to bare though.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Man you’re just going crazy buying new pins all the time aren’t you.

Quoted from Agent_Hero:

Where are you measuring 6.5 degrees? Using a digital level and measuring between the slings, I have 6.5 degrees but my bubble barely touches the top line, with the rest of the bubble between the lines. I don't think I've ever had a bubble sit that high and I've had some machines up to 7.2 degrees.

Quoted from marksf123:

I am new to the game. Can someone explain to me how the hyperspace loop works? I have got it to work but it is always just one ball that goes around. I hear people talking about getting 2 or 3 balls but I never have that many in play? Not sure how the mode is activated or works.

Quoted from marksf123:

I wish they made it easier on the premium to blow up the death star. I have not done it yet I was close but the death star shot is hard even with a good hit.

Quoted from kermit24:

Not true. I have my Premium at 6.5 perfectly level and can backhand the Death Star with a clean shot.
