no not now for Mando, its too early (better waiting a mature code)...
mainly it will be Iron Man or Hotwheels
Quoted from Tiki-Ed:My left ramp broke right at the protector. Requested a new one from the distributor. Seems to be a known problem but here’s pics anyway.

Cliffy has made a fix for this and I was at the right place/right time to be a test subject. My ramp is not broken yet but was starting to crack at that screw hole with under 100 games.
I installed today and only takes a few minutes. Top hole is elongated for fine tuning. He only made a few but based on my feedback to him today he will start up production. Reach out to him at http://www.passionforpinball.com/wip.htm

For the pins that have broken ramps already at the screw hole this Cliffy does a great job of supporting the ramp and also covers the unsightly broken up area…

Cliff is the man. Waiting on protectors for Spidey and TWD. He's backed up, but the stuff is worth the wait.

So, folks can store the new ramp Stern sends out as a back up. Win win.
How does this attach to the ramps that are broken? I thought that spot with the screw snaps completely off?
Glad cliffy fixed this issue!

It's longer and attaches at a different point.
Quoted from linearchaos:Premium, Early June.
I think there's a lot of people that ordered day 1 or earlier that didn't make the first run and are now in the October run.
FWIW, I was late to place an order (June 25), and don't expect to see the premium I ordered until Q1 2022. More time for me to sock away the $$, and something to look forward to at least!
A little bummed about the price hike if the rumors are true, but oh well.
Quoted from KSP1138:I think there's a lot of people that ordered day 1 or earlier that didn't make the first run and are now in the October run.
Yeah, I'm certainly in no hurry other than the standard anticipation. Just haven't seen much recently about ship delays here so I figured it'd be good to share.

Just did, thanks! I wish I would have waited a week or two to make my order, I just finished installing the other protectors. Glad to have him supporting the hobby.

Thanks, any info is better than nothing. I'm not sure where your 8/25 date came from since as far as I know there has been only the one mid-July run of premiums so far. With stern trying to roll out insider connected, their huge order backlog, part shortages, and price increases who the hell knows? With the next run scheduled for October, that might be where your current November estimate is coming from, if the run is scheduled for the middle or end of the month.
All I know is the premium I ordered in mid-May will probably show up sometime in the next several weeks, and I might need to pay an extra grand for it.
Finally got my mando pro tonight. Serious issues with both flippers sticking. Hitting it again or opposite flippers will bring it back down. Is this common in new sterns?

Coil stops. They most likely failed. Check those first.

Coil stop is at the opposite end of the coil. Hard to tell by looking at it without taking it apart.

No,the plastic buttons have a casting ridge that needs to be sanded down.Back a few posts there is a video of how to remove the flipper buttons and sand down the ridge.I did not do the drill trick,I sanded them both by hand.I thought I was the 1-1000000 that had this problem,nope.

So i did this. Doesn't help at all. Will take a look at the coil stop. The right flipper feels super weak too compared to the left. I opened a ticket.

With the glass off and game off, move the flipper bats up and down by hand. Let them snap back from a raised position. Do they feel tight like they’re binding? A lot of time weak flippers is from a mechanical binding, which will require you to make a small but easy adjustment.

Genius. I was wondering if Stern would consider using the further back screw.

Thanks for the tip, seems normal in relation to other machines. I checked the stop coils, nothing is loose or pancaked. I do have service alerts 11 and 12, right and left flipper eos. Looking into those now
Hello All -
I just caught up with this thread. I was a few pages behind.
I just want to say that I believe you all are great. The CLUB threads in general are reasonably safe places. Its great to see you all help each other with all your questions, issues, troubles, and champion stories.
I think I agree with large swathes of the reviews and critiques. I am particularly interested in the ideas about improving the ENCOUNTERS. The whole BONUS LEVEL idea was my idea and a bit against what Brian wanted to do. So if you are frustrated please blame me.
I think I will think about allowing level 2 and 3 to start immediately when you complete 1 and 2. Bonus level would only start after level 3 is complete. Then increasing even more the value of the bonus level after level 3. I also think this only makes sense on the PRO. Maybe.

I would consider payoff for finishing a level and surviving the ability to adv right away. Change bonus level to be a timed hurry up after you drain out of the mini after completing a level.
So if i finish a level… and stay alive… keep playing and adv.
When i drain… start a 5-8 second timer and if i get back to encounter its a boosted scoring bonus… boosted more based on how many levels i just finished.
If i miss the timer… no bonus level. You have to make the bonus level valuable here to make it worth it… and you can reward ‘streaks’ here too
This way bonus level is sbout bonus scoring - not progress hindering
Working on Slave 1 for all models, I figured the price version will go into the back and the Premium/LE (the wings and cannons will be adjusted to horizontal fight on the premium) can be behind the Razor Crest. This model is in very early development, with more detailing and leds in the cannons and engine's
Just 1 bonus level after you complete all 3 levels of encounters. Let the next phase of the encounter start immediately after completing. If you are really good you could finish all 3 stages on 1 trip up to the playfield.
Yeah, i think encounters needs to be tweaked... especially on the pro.
Make it more valuable, easier to complete, or maybe a 2 ball multiball at the end of each encounter with the ability to add a ball if you get back up there and hit some shots. Also, the skill shot plunge to the helmet should count towards your encounter progress. Im not sure why that isnt a thing, but would make sense, and make encounters more fun since there would be 2 ways to progress through them.
Ive made mine easier by removing the plastic wall at the entrance to the helmet so the ball flows faster to the flipper, and also turned down the flipper power up there... this helped, but still seems like a trudge to complete encounter levels.
Quoted from tdiddy:Working on Slave 1 for all models
I think yours may be a little too big. It definitely will not fit on Premium/LE because of the tight gap between upper and back of machine. I was unable to have my Slave 1 in the upright position and had to flip it to make it fit. The larger one also covers up the fighters and I wanted to keep it as close to backdrop scene as possible with smaller Hotwheel version.
Added Slave 1 and redid the LED back lights. The green makes Grogu pop and then I did blue to represent space and an orange to highlight the Slave 1. Also changed out my coin door bulbs for a different look.

On the Le I planned on putting behind the Razor Crest..... I really wanted to put it over the plastic on the left side where it says bounty hunter..... but I'd need to scale it down... this would probably be the easiest thing to do but I don't want to lose detail and the capability to install Leds in it
Quoted from tdiddy:but I'd need to scale it down
I would like one slightly smaller than Hotwheel version so it really matches back art and fits in upright position. It was close but I did not want the upper coming in contact with the mod.
Also getting closer to getting Mando really dialed in. I messed around with options and sounds last night and found some good stuff. The best thing I discovered is the alternate theme song. A lot more horns and bass-and does not seem as repetitive?(Really sounds awesome!) Then I changed my music attenuation to 10 and speech to 3. Changed encounters to start at 3, changed some missions to easy, turned off theme and it is really sounding great now. My settings: Fade -6, Equalizers all towards higher levels, 8 OHM, master volume:38, and then change theme music to alternative-Holy smokes does it sound good!
Edit* Forgot 5 ball-do not be too proud to put this machine on 5 ball with extra balls-you will need them.

Would be cool to have something in there to put the player out of their misery if they keep having empty trips up there. Like, lose the encounter if you have a couple trips of no targets hit. Then obviously if you are doing horribly in all of them the scoring in the wizard mode is greatly reduced.
Not a very exciting idea, but may help to reduce the wood choppy feel.
But definitely reward the player for accuracy and efficiency in the moment and with wizard mode scoring boosts based on your play in the encounters.

Cool thanks for the tips. Will make some adjustments today. I need to add foam to the upper ramp diverter to stop balls from rebounding back down the ramp too. That’s annoying.
I was having issues with my upper post in orbit not working properly? It would not even fire in coil cycle test. Well after lifting up the hood I found the bracket was all bent and the shaft was not aligned. I had to bend it back into position and test for optimal fit and find least resistance for movement. Working good now
Quoted from Dantesmark:Yeah, i think encounters needs to be tweaked... especially on the . Also, the skill shot plunge to the helmet should count towards your encounter progress. Im not sure why that isnt a thing.
It does if you have an encounter going. Even though the lights are all purple the encounter shots still count and you can complete it.
Quoted from Jerickso77:It does if you have an encounter going. Even though the lights are all purple the encounter shots still count and you can complete it.
Yes it does... just tested it.
Maybe when the team could change the purple lights on the plunge to show the yellow encounter shots instead...

Where can I change to alternate theme? I can't seem to find it in settings.
