Quoted from nicoy3k:

my SE delivery was just rescheduled to Monday, SADNESS

I’d go pick it up if you can.edit

Looks like I’m the 3rd person to mention that. I rented a Lowe’s truck once for 29 bucks to drive to fedex to pick it up. Couldn’t wait for the wife to get home with the suv and then have to remove car seats and put them back in. Lowe’s or Uhaul are your friend.

I rent uhauls and they are 45 a day with taxes and fees plus 109 per mile on weekends. It adds up quick.

Even better I’m sure there’s a discount code you could pm him. Lol

LOL, I just asked the area supervisor and he said that no one gets a discount unless he OKs it. He wouldn't give me a code. I actually make about 2k a year renting these stupid trucks. I bought a giant aquarium with the free cash.

So your running an external sub along with the pin woofer kit?

Just. No.

#2057 3 years ago

Thanks for posting this Sako, I heard from my cousin part of that in the 90’s.... 1/4 of century after I read the whole story thanks to you man

#2058 3 years ago

Interesting read! I also only knew bits and pieces of the story until now.

#2059 3 years ago

I hate when both sides of cabinet have the same art. Especially on the CE model there is no need to be lazy. Add the semi-naked chick to the right side or something. If the left and right sides of CE art had been different, I’d have given it more consideration. As it is no way.

The pro also suffers the same fate, although maybe expectations for the SE are lower so ok. The LE however has different art on both sides, many different posters are shown. That is a great reason to select the LE and it was one of mine. Unique side images against the red armor backdrop is a win.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:I hate when both sides of cabinet have the same art. Especially on the CE model there is no need to be lazy. Add the semi-naked chick to the right side or something.

Lol..... that would have been something, a sexual assault scene on a pinball cabinet.......
Having said that, if it did... it’s GnR Appetite selected art and I would have been in regardless, for the CE they maybe should have done the sides different, I love the use of colours......... I still wish I snagged one but still mega happy with the LE

I hate when they are different. I don’t have infinite space to decide which side I want to display, I hate being stuck with the side I don’t like as much. Symmetry please. You can’t see both sides at the same time so I don’t see the benefit.

I totally disagree , I'm not trying to make this a hobbit discussion but I love my Hobbit LE and how the Good Guys are on one side , bad guys on the other side .
If you're lucky they will be surrounded and you only get to see the front but if you have room you have the luxury of seeing both sides .

Huh? More art is better than same art.

Ha, I was playing that earlier before I posted the official version ..... when they did the episode for University Challenge. Loved the bit where he eats the doughnut and sticks his two fingers up to the shop keeper .... also RIP Rick Mayall - gone too soon

#2067 3 years ago

Hobbit LE is JJP’s best example of doing cab art justice with unique sides, and now,we have GNRLE. JJP did this on all WOZ versions and should have tried it on Wonka CE, but missed that opportunity. JP premium is my favorite Stern title with this. It joins SWLE. Spooky has ACNC and R&M.

Anyways nicoy3k must not have seen MezelMods new game room kit for those with limited space at home.

Yeah , Rick died of heart attack while jogging .
University Challenge is great , I liked it when Vivien has his head chopped off and he's kicking it along the railroad .

Not when you’re OCD and can only display one side

#2070 3 years ago
Quoted from nicoy3k:

That doesn't make sense , if you have one machine you can see both sides , if you have two machines you can pick which side you want , if you have three or more machines at least one will be sandwiched .

#2071 3 years ago

Definitely enjoy seeing machines with different art on each side. Woz and hobbit nailed it. Star Wars and JP did it great too. I passed on the CE because I like the art and back glass better on the LE I ordered. I do like the CE colors though. That purple is beautiful.

IF the CE came with this art package I would have definitely found the extra dollars to get one .

Doing the same for my JP Premium and my GnR LE...
Just need them both to show up!!

I like not having to choose an art side

#2076 3 years ago
Quoted from nicoy3k:

I totally understand and that's your opinion and you're more than entitled to it .
Personally , I like having the two sides and it doesn't cost you any extra

The GNR SE is for you. Start a game and peer to the right, peer to the left and plunge your balls.

One obvious thing too, designers only spend the time to use unique side art when the art is good. So when you find it, chances are the art is pretty good. See my post above for the handful of games this has been tried for. I only went back ten years and was relying on my memory banks.

Of course taste is subjective and there is at least one game with unique art that I don’t care for. But generally it adds to your experience because you have more of something good.

The GnR artwork on the playfield is so good does it matter that much?

#2083 3 years ago

For the guys the have the pin already can someone tell me the depth of the back box? Is it the same as wonka? My wonka is like 6 inches deeper than my sterns and it limits me to where I can place them. I should have my SE on Monday and want to rearrange now.

Thanks in advance

Congrats. I can never cash out. Just want to stay in song. Having said that the jackpots haven't been massive.

How many machines do you think have been produced so far?

#2094 3 years ago

100

#2095 3 years ago

blah my game is still in PA and isn't gonna get here till tomorrow. Not the best day to get a new game. First world problems right?

#2096 3 years ago

I honestly think this may be close to the truth, I think they realized something is wrong and may have tried to salvage what they sent out already, but since the distros haven't heard anything, lends me to believe they stopped the line

#2097 3 years ago

I went thru my SE and see no issues (but I didnt remove the black washers on the slings) Had a coupe adjustments out of the box. upper right eos switch threw an error on bootup (just a small adjustment) and the flippers were not aligned properly (raised too high) another small adjustment. Games been playing great since. So far im enjoying the speed and flow of the SE. Light shows are still awesome in my opinion.

#2098 3 years ago

Damn that is a good looking game.

Nope

#2100 3 years ago

All ears then, speculation is the only resource I have as there is NO comm otherwise from official source. I am super excited for the game and just want it to be great. Every pic of damage detracts from that excitement though, and right now, I seriously hope my LE on order is delayed until there is a real fix, that's backwards, I shoud be counting the days...now every post I see about how great the game is with promo on Facebook etc brings me back to the playfield issue.
