METLE #199 looks factory fresh. I would be shutting bricks right now if I had found a crack!!

Quoted from DaveH:I love that time when a new game becomes... just one of your games. You stop babying it and just play the snot out of it. It gets dirty, shop it, and play on. Good times.
So cabinets splitting down the seams on a 3 year old game is normal?

Quoted from PinMonk:Good idea with the titebond 3. I'll keep that in mind for future reinforcements. Hopefully Stern decides to spend $19.32 more per cabinet and goes back to using the Churchill type CLEARLY better wood for cabs again. They're asking for long-term much more expensive trouble by cutting this corner.
Why would they. The next game is probably Star Wars and that shit could be made of cardboard, but the Star Wars guys will buy it, without a doubt.

Quoted from iceman44:Fantasy land thinking. DI won't come close to 4k, they will be lucky to sell 1k
Stern still crushes the rest of the market and will continue to do so. Competition is still a good thing and so are more options available.
It only helps Stern to have these other options out there.
I have a feeling you are going to be so wrong. Seems that most people that plays this pin absolutely loves it and I bet there are some Stern buyers who will be waiting and watching given recent QC issues at Stern, I am sure it will sell pretty well.
Quoted from MK6PIN:Umm...no, not really.....I don't bash , but will never own one ( and have played it, love my WOZ, btw)....I do hope they sell quite a few, however, as competition at any level is always good....
Hence I said "MOST" people. I agree with your second sentence all the way!
Quoted from smassa:So you are saying a clean shot to a desired target should be rewarded by a Magnet catching the ball & dropping it SDTM??? Dude come on.
The Magnet pulse was fixed on TWD. Also adding a post from the pops fixed the pops drain on mine & many others too. Having a magnet just catch the ball and drop it STDM is pretty bad and they may want to try and fix it with some code programming.
Sooo, your saying TWD was fixed, but you dont appear to give that benefit to Hieghway, on a just released game. Gotcha...
Quoted from iceman44:Sorry but nothing about that turn table mech says "pro". Nor does the LCD
When it's done and fully implemented it will be one of the most impressive engineering feats on a pinball machine
Try and find a BM66SLE or LE for sale except for Gap or Automated. We like it and see what's coming with Lyman
The theme and artwork are fantastic
So is ASLE btw
As for a DICE, let's hear the justification for that one?
The fact is DEMAND for BM66 at $15k blows away a DICE at $12.5k of which a a handful might be actually delivered to the end user
Try to find an LE for sale, except for here and there. Not a real strong argument for BM66 being popular lol
Quoted from Mike_J:7K+ and you have to glue your cabinet?
How in hell is that acceptable?
It's NOT acceptable, it's a GREAT job!-

Quoted from PinMonk:That's the best reason. They need to catch up or reorganize or shake up management or SOMETHING to get their act together. I'm out of Stern NIB until I see changes in the field, not promises.
Fortunately Houdini and jPotC can fill that void just fine for the next 6-12 months.
Agreed. I can probably fix or have a cab fixed if need be. I can't do or find anyone to write the code.
