Well, i am in this club again.. lol. not that I ever left it. When i got my premium, I noticed some damage on the left side of the cab decal. My dist ordered a new decal and said they would swap it, awesome. I was also aware that mine had one of those low res playfields, annoying, but not a deal breaker. Since others were mentioning that stern was going to give them new un-populated PF's I figured I would give it a shot too so I told my dist and they reached out to stern.
I was still waiting on my answer when I stopped by to pick up my topper order. I asked if they had heard anything back yet on the PF when the pointed out that they got in another new premium and asked if I wanted to swap. I checked the decals, great, I checked the PF, perfect. So I ended up swapping machines.
Now, on to the topper. I'm just not a fan. I can live with overpriced if I really like it (think GB topper). On mine, the lights seem jittery/strobe-y (when on solid), almost like noisy power. I looked at videos online of a few others showing off their toppers, one looked solid.. but then i watched the flipping out topper unboxing video again, and on that one they look strobey like mine (maybe not quite as bad)
I also don't like the look from anywhere but the front. If you look at it from the side your blinded by the damn LED's that aren't diffused by anything.
I'm also annoyed that you can't adjust the brightness (like you can with the GI or inserts)

I'm considering returning the topper unless they can send me new parts and tell me how to fix it. I feel like I could 3D print a better technodrome and just make my own topper.
