With LEs on the line again has anyone heard anything from their distro about receiving one of the next batch of games, specifically Pinball Star?

Quoted from jalpert:When did you order though? Day 1?
Yeah, Iām assuming games rolling off the line right now arenāt being delivered next Feb or Mar. Donāt even know if I buy that timeline for games ordered today. JJP is anything but efficient building games if going by past experience.
1 month later
Quoted from PinHigh1:Once I got the call to pay up in full it took about 3 weeks before I got shipping confirmation. Arrives tomorrow if everything goes well.
When did you order initially out of curiosity? I ordered day 1 within probably 2 minutes of them going on sale and my LE just shipped yesterday. They seem to still be fulfilling at least some day 1 orders almost 3 months later. Demand is definitely outstripping supply
Quoted from Skyemont:Yep this is true. I would say SE and LE should get back in the line late March or early April.
Iām really hoping JJP increases their capacity from the current ~50 games a week (if accurate). Iām not expecting them to be Stern (~250 games a week) but I see no way they can get out more than 1 new game a year at their current rate. It may take them 5-6 months just to knock out the day 1 orders
Quoted from Skyemont:Itās been like that from 2013 to today. I donāt think it will change. Iām ok with 1 a year. Thatās just me.
I thought Jack had mentioned his goal was 2 games for last year. Obviously COVID messed things up but I thought part of the reason for the factory move was they outgrew the old space. Itās rough for people that ordered an LE on day 2 to maybe not see a game for 6-7 months. Iām not sure how you grow the business like that.

Quoted from Leo13:The bluetooth dongle is a CSR4.0 (amazon.com link Ā»)
On my machine, it does not work, and neither the AirPods Pro or a Bose Soundlink speaker cannot be paired.
Is your Bluetooth works fine ?
I have not been able to get Bluetooth to work with either AirPod pros or Sony Bluetooth headphones. I got the Sonyās to connect but no sound. The machine does still seem to play the audio though very quiet. Same thing with trying to use the headphone jack.
No audio thru the headphones but quiet audio thru the speakers. I havenāt really put any time into troubleshooting it yet though.
Quoted from Headwires:What are your thoughts on the way the headphones sound on this machine. I may be having an issue with just mine. The volume is very low even when turned all the way up using either wired or Bluetooth. And the sound is terrible. Anyone else having this issue? Or any suggestions on fixes. I donāt have this issue with any of my other JJP games. All sound great with headphones. Thanks for any help given.
I havenāt been able to get Bluetooth headphones to work but plugged in they sound amazing. I will say that I have to crank the volume up to like 36-37 to get them decently loud but quality is excellent for me. Maybe check the audio connections at all places? One may be lose somewhere.
This game is so ridiculously good. I am absolutely blown away by it so far. Just played "You Could Mine" for the 1st time. Holy shit what a good use of the shaker during that song.
Quoted from f3honda4me:Whoa wait there is a jukebox mode? :O
You have to enable it in the settings. You can do just music, music/video or music/video/lights. I'm not entirely sure of the controls but I know the lockdown bar button turns it on and switches songs. The only way I've found to stop it though is to enter and exit settings.
Quoted from rockrand:Ok one last time what do you guys think of th ce compared to the le?,I can get an ce now and not wait months and save a few thousand?
If you're looking at a CE second hand that is going to cost almost twice that of an LE, for myself the differences don't justify the premium. Being an LE owner, the main thing I might potentially miss is the undercab and backbox lighting tied into the game. I'm not sure how much it adds but the more lights the better in my opinion. I'm hoping someone in the mod community comes up with something cool. The CE topper I don't really care about because I know Lior is going to come up with something incredible that is probably way cooler. I also prefer the LE art package better but that's up to personal opinion. The main drawback to an LE at this point is the 2-3 month wait before they start shipping again.
Quoted from Skyemont:Wondering the same thing. You canāt get a CE for 10k
I mean jeese, you could keep your LE order and go buy pretty much any other game out there NIB to play for the same cost while you wait for your LE to ship.

Quoted from dts:Is the playfield lightshow different on the CE? I was under the impression that the LE and CE had the same lightshow but the CE attract mode seems to have more LEDs. I know the cabinet has more lighting on the CE. I stared at that JJP website screen at release, considering a CE for hours, and didn't pull the trigger mostly because I love the look of the LE art. Now that some unboxing pics are coming along, not sure I made the right choice! The CE is beautiful.
Playfield lighting is the same between CE and LE. CE has extra RGB LEDs under the cabinet, backbox and topper
Quoted from jalpert:The question is, how do the lights interact with the game and how would an LE owner hook them up?
Yeah Iām curious how much of a difference it makes being all addressable RGB leds. Like can you even tell from the playerās perspective or does it just end up looking like 1 solid color. If thatās the case, the sound activated undercab lighting kits may be an OK alternative.
Quoted from Vitty:Is there a change log for v 1.11 anywhere?
Woah what's version 1.11? The latest version on the website is 1.08
Quoted from Vitty:My CE has 1.11 loaded on it from the factory
Oh interesting, it looks like they haven't made 1.11 publicly available yet
Quoted from Anubis330:I've got a problem that I'm hoping someone knows how to fix. When the ball drops down the fog hole it draines every time. How do I fix this???
[quoted image]
Check out your ball guide below the drain hole. The end of mine (that ends at the post) was bent back for some reason and would almost always drain out the right out lane. I straightened it up and now the ball always hits higher up the playfield safely.

Quoted from Eskaybee:Havenāt downloaded yet. Is there a readme file on the update?
When you pull the update up via wifi on your machine, the change log displays on the screen. Looks to mainly be added light effects for the undercab and backbox LEDs on the CE and some bug fixes.
Quoted from Eskaybee:Thanks. Iāll take a look when I get time to update mine. I was more curious on 1.09, 1.10, and 1.11 patch notes as prior to that, we were on 1.08.
The change log has all the previous update notes as well. Honestly all the updates from 1.09 to 1.12 contain the same stuff it looks like, code for the additional CE lights and bug fixes

Does anyone else's plunge hit the corner of the right sling? Mine does it frequently leading to the ball bouncing right into the right outlane without a solid nudge at save it. Looking at gameplay video it looks like the plunge should deliver the ball right past the right sling onto the flipper. My game is level and at a 7 degree pitch. I've tried adjusting everything I can think of including the ball gate and trying to adjust the ball guide it rolls down with no luck. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Quoted from konghusker:Was just wondering the same thing. When are LEs back on line?
Itās interesting that it looks like SEs are back on the line (which I thought no one wanted) and are shipping out as early as next week. No idea what that means exactly for the production schedule as Iām pretty sure they still have CE orders to fulfill and weāve been hearing for months that they were pumping out all the CEs at once before they switched back to LE/SE
Quoted from adrock:Where are you getting this info?
Automated, Pinball Star and Flip N Out all posted today about receiving new SE stock next week
