In an attempt to get this thread back on track.... Does anyone know if Stern is allowing pickup at their facility again? I guess they changed policy back in March because of Illinois tax laws or something. Just curious.

Good question. I've wanted to have the Stern factory experience while picking up a NIB. That would be pretty sweet.
Quoted from kklank:You again. The topic is a release date for STLE. Not code. As the gentleman who started this thread reiterated again and you apparently dont care. Im sorry your frustrated with Stern and code but you dont have to consistently take it out on newbies that really enjoy pinball. Why dont you respectfully start a thread about code. And I will respectfully not participate. Stop attacking other people with your frustrations with Stern. At least thats what it feels like. It must be terribly frustrating but I really was just communicating positively with another pinball enthusiast.
Where did you see me attacking people? I never do that, ever.
OP clearly commented Stern doesn't finish their games which I agree with. I also offered a congrats for getting a new game because it's cool.
Anyway I am not here to attack the "newbie". My apologies if I made you uncomfortable bcfast or you Kklank
Sorry I ruined your panther party 
Quoted from xfassa:Run Forrest Run!
OK Jennnaay
Quoted from bcfast:Haters going to hate just the way things are. I am stoked to get this as my first nib and don't care what anyone else thinks. I am glad that there are new machines still being made!
I cant remember if you said it earlier. Is this your first NEw in the box also? Are you a big STLE fan? I liked the original tv series . i saw the reruns. Funny thing is that I saw the latest Star Trek movie with my son and I thought it was pretty good and they even had the old Spock in the movie! So thats making it even better me and the family. Cant wait!!

And that's what it's all about
Quoted from PW79:Tell your fantastic news to the folks who bought WOF
Oh how lucky people are to have bought Xmen 2 years ago & still have an incomplete game
How dare we mention the code, the nerve of us!
PS all BS aside congrats on the new game.
Holy shit.
Talk about a kick in the nuts! 
You are acting like CraZ4pin was a few weeks back where he was just repeating the same crap about ST over and over and over again. Trollish behavior, and is not actually helping in any way.
I'd really hate to put you in the same category...but I think it's too late not to.
"Updated Code" is the new meme.
Quoted from RobT:Holy shit.

Although we often agree Rob it appears we are on two different pages regarding Stern's code.
Oh well, 9/10 ain't bad
You know I'm not a Stern hater/troll, just a frustrated Stern supporter.
I will try to relax a bit on the subject. Been all fired up lately since selling off some games & realizing the titles I want seem to be ignored/incomplete.
I do like the updated code meme idea though.
Quoted from PW79:I will try to relax a bit on the subject.
That's all I'm asking really.
I mean we all (obviously) want finished/updated code. But when you get to the point where that's all you are seemingly posting about, and you start dumping on a newbie's post talking about how excited that they are for their NIB ST pin, I think it's time to do exactly what you say above.

No worries! And thanks for the apology. Im probably overreacting as well. I guess when one is passionate about anything sometimes it gets interpreted the wrong way. I really do enjoy this hobby and Ive never had a hobby since I was a kid. Which speaking of kids, I think everyone should be trying to get their kids or grandkids to the expos. Thats how this hobby really grows! My kid is just as excited as I am about the STLE! Good stuff. Best wishes.
Quoted from Zitt:how long will it take stern to build thru all 800 LEs?
Weekly Factory capacity?
good question. What's the normal turn around @ Stern per week? how many pins can they build in a given week.
Quoted from hank527:My prediction is Stern switches to a new system and updates for all current games cease.
I'd bet switched to end-of-life status with critical fixes only for a year.
Quoted from PW79:OK Jennnaay
A Forrest Gump pin where the wizard mode is simply to collect all the different ways of preparing shrimp?
Deroche, BC
Quoted from Trekie:Don't the first 400 go across the pond first?
Not sure if the shipments are going across the pond first, Distributors in Canada are calling for delivery in early November, my Distributor estimates taking delivery on games by November 11th. Don't know if anyone south has heard when shipping in USA.

They are not allowing it.

That Would be EPIC!!!
ST LE's on the line in the latest pic on Sterns FB
Quoted from Frax:the extra ball animation isn't even implemented and it shows icons from the test menu instead.
So that's why I saw the test menu junk pop up during my game. . .good to know that means "Extra Ball"
Quoted from Rush1169:So that's why I saw the test menu junk pop up during my game. . .good to know that means "Extra Ball"
Little things like that piss me off. For this price I should be able to play with friends and not have to explain glitches. Grr.
On the bright side looks like we will see some LEs soon!! Here is to code updates and seeing the Starfield projector.
The ST LE will be my first NIB so I was wondering do they ship with coin mech's ? I use Happ quarter/.984 token combo coin mech's in my games. I assume if they ship with coin mech's they would be quarter only mech's. I guess either way I need to place an order for the quarter/token mech's so I will have them when the game arrives.

No worries. It will take quarters.
Quoted from John_I:No worries. It will take quarters.
Unless you buy iron man classic or "the pin"!
STLE ships to Canada between Nov. 11th - 19th so the States will be after that sometime. As Canada always gets theirs first.
2 weeks later

Mine too! I receive a lot of freight from Chicago and it is usually next day.
