Quoted from PW79:

So...
There's a pandemic
Locations aren't seeing much play
Operators aren't buying much lately
Collectors are losing confidence in Stern
The line was shut down for months
I won't pretend I know Stern's business or be all doom & gloom but I sure wouldn't want all the above factors in my shop.
You can tell a lot of the employees @ Stern love pinball. They probably aren't a fan of what's happening right now. I bet they worry a bit.
TMNT looks cool. I'm still following the game's progress with excitement. But I'm not gonna buy one. No more drama is needed in my life.
Good luck to those moving FW with their order knowing the risk of issues & lack of respectful resolutions.

Quoted from Kinglaserface:

Total newbie here and in the pinball community overall. I have been a lurker and joined just recently after finally convincing the wife to let me get my first pinball machine, the Premium turtles.
To those who installed a playfield protector, did you get it from playfield-protectors.com? Any one have a step by step guide/tutorial out to help out a first time pinball owner in installing one? I also have a question about the spinning pizza disc with a PF installed. Are there any issues? I would thing it was cause a problem with the circle cutout being lower than the PF but not quite sure. Any help would be most appreciated, thank you in advance!

Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:

Congratulations. I am coming over tomorrow.

Quoted from RoyalJack:

What did you adjust to get the orbit to feed the way you wanted?

Quoted from Mr_H:

I asked Dwight on a Flip'n out stream about a code about for TMNT. He mentioned that he wants\needs to get Mando to a 1.0 game code first and then he wants to fix a few things that has annoyed him in the current code. Which I think is the sound screwup at the start of Final Battle, where there is no dialogue audio and maybe the multiball freeze people talk about. I've had this happen to me once with about 600 plays. I mentioned what about a scoring balance etc. He said that the scoring for this game was an experiment that didn't work and changing the coding for this would be a chunk of work.
I love this game, it's not going anywhere anytime soon - but my fingers are crossed for a code update. A bunch of these tweaks everyone talks of and it would just finish this game completly.

My sling shot rubbers broke after around 1000 plays. Is this considered normal wear or something to talk about to my distributor? My GoT LE has 1400 plays and no signs of rubber failure..
