I just joined the club - I emailed my local distro and they just happened to have two LEs ready to ship in a week. I said why not and today I wired the money. Exited to see if it stays (like POTC and Hobbit) or goes (like DI)!

Didn't mean to start a fight, everyone - just excited for my new pin. This is my 4th JJP and my distro is a great guy. When I wanted DI and he didn't have one, he found one at another distro rather than having me wait.
Anyway, nothing is actually here yet, so we'll see!
1 week later
My LE Arrived today - 9/21 build. Zero playfield issues that I can see. I put 40 games on it today just breaking it in (I haven't even brought it in from the garage).
Everything seems to work perfectly, but I do have the orbit issue others have noted. When the ball comes around the orbit to the left side, it hits the top of the left sling. I haven't leveled it yet so maybe I can fix it without having to bend the guide. The only other minor issue is the shaker really rattles the glass/cabinet. Nothing some rattle tape can't fix.
The game has way more flow than I thought based on watching gameplay videos. It's also a nudge-heavy game (in a good way).
I bought it for the light show, and I might keep it for the gameplay. I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
Quoted from bbulkley:When the ball comes around the orbit to the left side, it hits the top of the left sling. I haven't leveled it yet so maybe I can fix it without having to bend the guide.
I just watched the official reveal JJP did with SDTM, and their machine is the exact same way. Maybe that's how it's supposed to work!
I've put over 50 games on my LE since it arrived yesterday, and it's starting to open up for me a bit.
I intentionally didn't read any detailed instructions or strategies - part of the fun is figuring that stuff out. It took me a while to notice the screen in the back - it's hugely useful for knowing your next shot. And I'm realizing that building up your multiball and ball saver is important for making a song easier.
I see a lot of complaints that there are too many multiballs, but now I see that controlling the mb's is a big part of the strategy and fun.
And I'll say again the flow on this game is vastly better than it seemed. The orbits, inner loop, and the ramps when the diverter is up on the left make for such satisfying combos. I love my JJP POTC and Hobbit, but I think this shoots better than either. I think it's even a better shooter than DI, although I just didn't like that game overall.
