Quoted from 1963BSARGS:

I checked with Dave a few days ago and he said he was sold out of LE’s. It would have also been my second purchase from pinball dudes.
Then he posted this on ebay:

I have purchased two machines from Dave at good prices in the past and have received great service. However, I have since noticed that he does sell some LEs at high markups and even some Premiums like Godzilla at 11K+. Just go through that eBay feedback history and you will see some of them. It has me now supporting others that sell at MSRP or better. I ordered my FF Premium elsewhere.

Quoted from kermit24:

Plastic lockdown bar?? It's metal. Always has been on Pro games.

He must be confused with the apron which is plastic on the Pro and metal on the Premium/LE. However, no way to "feel" that.

Quoted from screaminr:

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all the aprons plastic now .

Pro is plastic, Premium/LE metal.

Quoted from PinMonk:Wow, I just assumed they were all like that. Secret bonus.

Are you sure you didn’t order the Premium kit? Toward the end, all that could be found is the Premium UV kit and it installed on a Pro just fine. I had to do that for my Pro.

Quoted from Doctor6:

..... huh? Why did you buy it then?

I think he ordered a Premium BEFORE he played it and is now having worries of regret. That's the way I read it.

I have ordered a few machines from Zach with no issues whatsoever. Speaking of which, FedEx just called me this morning and is delivering my Foo Fighters Premium tomorrow! Zach told me on Monday to pay and it could ship as early as Tuesday. While he didn't let me know it shipped, he definitely made it happen. He has always been responsive to my emails. I may have had one or two over the years that required a follow up but I attribute that to being busy. I know for certain that I sometimes miss a work email here or there. It happens.

Premium in the house! Well, the garage anyway. Will have to wait til this evening to get her set up. Thanks Zach and FedEx. Probably the most perfect box I have ever received.

Quoted from PinMonk:

At least one person mentioned that they had to bend out their apron very slightly so the ball would bounce off the deadpost back into play.

Normal

Yep, that one person is me. My dead post would bounce the ball into the bottom of the left flipper when it was held up. I bent the apron out toward the playfield a slight bit and now it bounces perfectly to the right flipper.

Quoted from PantherCityPins:

Don’t confuse the dead post with a ball save. It isn’t. It’s a mechanical feature that can help you save a left outlane drain.
This is why the Premium is a more challenging machine than the pro. The dead post is not a 100% ball save like on the pro. The Area 51 super jackpot is WAY harder to achieve on a premium vs a pro.
It’s simply a more challenging game.

However, according to the TiltForums game guide, the Premium/LE will light Overdrive more frequently than the Pro to compensate for it not being 100%. I have not validated this to be true, however.

"The left outlane is lit for Overdrive at the start of the game, and after two completions of the Sonic Radio targets (one for Prem / LE models). This is a virtual ball save on Pro models; on Prem / LE models the Deadpost will raise when the ball rolls over the left outlane, hold up the left flipper to save the ball."

Quoted from goldsmid:

I have my LE ordered from Game Exchange of Colorado. They are telling me that Stern has had production delays on the LEs and they are waiting on an update. Are others experiencing delays and hearing this as well?
It is frusterating to pay up for an LE expecting to be on the early side of things and then have delays.

Yes, other LE purchasers are in the same boat. The word is that they are waiting on the cabinet decals.

A quick search in the marketplace shows them to be available.
