Just put my deposit down! Quite excited... My very first NIB game. Any idea when the next Stern batch will be

Oh man! I just put my deposit in on a Pro.... Now I'm freaking out about A) Quality and B) leadtimes.
I am being told October, but I don't want to wait until 2021...

It might... I have a Deadpool that is a LITTLE bit faded... But it's hard to see.
I have seen some REALLY bad ones tho. That could be the "discount"

I just want the machine at this point.....

Man o man.... I have been tweaking and tweaking to get this thing to be playable... The cheap drains were horrid... I changed rubbers / removed rubbers / altered settings / ball saves / etc...

I would have games, where two balls - would drain - three times each (two on ball save and one for the final drain) without me even touching the ball.
Launch - into the pops - out - into the slings - *snap*snap* out.... twice..

I lowered the slings to "18" and it finally feels like you can play the game. I also had the rubber donuts off at the top of the outlanes.
Now I have them back on.

Anyone else have this issue?

Anyone else have no audio / voice at the beginning of "Portal in the park" ?
Shredder talks to Krang on some radio / comm device, and there is no dialog. Nothing...
It seems really odd.

Hey gang - I am having balls get stuck coming out of the van on my Pro. Anyone else see this? I have replaced balls, cleaned / etc... But it seems that the you shoot the third ball in there, and then the pin comes down to start the multiball, and the balls just sit there.

Like the pin lowers, the upper flipper sticks out, the animation starts, the pizza starts spinning, but the balls - are just sitting in the van. If i shake the living crap out of it, the balls usually come out. Just annoying, and I can't really figure out why.

Residual Magnetism? It's really weird.

Hey! I have been "Finishing" TUMB lately. So, when you go into TUMB, If I have the krang mode perks, It seems like I only have to rescue one turtle to get to "Pizza Party." It also seems like when I do this, it gives me "April Hurryups" and "Krang Combo" for Cowabunga progress.

Do you guys see the same? I thought you had to rescue all three turtles to get to pizza party... but even last night. I hit my shots / lit the rescue... hit Michelangelo - BOOM.... Pizza party... Is this right?

I thought you had to "RESCUE" all 3 turtles (the ones you are NOT playing as). I can't remember which mode does what. But I know you want to play "I want a body" and then - once that mode is completed, you want to play "The Wrath of Krang" (changing modes by hitting the standups. I HATE the way this game has you picking modes. It can be so punishing).

If you have "The Wrath of Krang" beaten - it means you have to only hit two lit shots to start the rescue process (vs the usual - six). Then - I think one of the Shredder modes is "Rescue Any" so, instead of the turtles being lit - only one at a time... they are all lit up, and you can hit a nice and easy shot into Michalangelo. And boom! you beat it. I thought - HOWEVER - (as I said above) - that you had to rescue all three turtles to light pizza party. Also - If you get to Pizza Party - It spots you ONE "ACHIEVEMENT" towards Cowabunga. I know the first thing it seems to give you is the April HurryUps.

One game the other day - I went through all 8 modes. Beat TUMB the first time through - it spotted me April. Then, I got all the way through the modes again back to TUMB - and beat it - AGAIN, and it spotted me "Jackpoto Grande" which - for me - is not what I want. Triple Mondo is the thing I can NEVER seem to get regularly. I have been to Portal in the Park, MORE TIMES than I have ever gotten Triple Mondo.

That's an prem/le problem

I have a Pro and this is not a thing. Have never seen a "Lair Lock" on the PRO
However, that is pretty cool, though.

Yes - I have had odd magnetization on the pinballs, as well. Even a few times, they have literally been stuck together sitting on a "down" flipper.
So, my flipper is just - sitting there, me = not pushing the button. and the balls are just sitting there. Magnetized together, and therefore - they won't roll.

No idea why this happens. I have the same balls in other games that have magnets and no issue. Have even swapped them out, and TMNT is the only issue.

I thought prem's had a shaker. Maybe I am wrong. I LOVE my shaker - the thing goes nuts. Im all about it.

Hey ya'll - The topic is so full of this stuff and it's hard to search through it all... But I am getting lock-ups on TPMB. Usually happens when I have a mode running / completed and Starting the TPMB. Seems odd... No clue Assume code related. Only happened after the newest update.
