This one's got some good potential, I'm sure if it's anything like the others you put together so far the finished version will be impressive. Keep them coming! I just placed my order for a pro, will probably be an October delivery date so until then ,I'll be shopping for mods.

Truer words have never been spoken.. this will be my first NIB ( going with the pro, looks like October delivery) purchase and the insights from the Ops,buyers and people that have just flipped a few games on this have gone a long way towards me finally pulling the trigger. Still at the end of the day it was being able to spend a few hours playing the LE and the pro side by side on Monday. Because of this thread I'm already eyeing alot of wonderful mods and plan on installing the metal rails before I ever flip my first game on mine. Thanks pinside. This is the way.

These look absolutely fantastic. I'm really curious how well they hold up in real world play. When I played the pro last week I had a few balls hop The Rail where these are going to mount and ended up back in the shooter Lane during multi-ball. It may be an area that takes some abuse.

That and... Mary Ann was the hot one.

Side armor for the pro and premiums are supposed to ship in August. I've already ordered a set through my distributor, although I won't see my Pro until October. No word on the topper yet.

That is not the way.

$289.00 all in, although there is no price listed on Stern's site.

I got good deal then, that never happens!

Dammit! You got me thinking so I looked at the invoice just now. $290.00, so much for my good deal.

For those wondering about longevity of these in the pinball machine ,there is this ,for what it's worth. I purchased one of the animated baby Yoda's for my granddaughter last Christmas. Anyway after I tapped it on the head once I realized the heck with her, I'm keeping it. I have a retail store and I make blown glass baby Yoda's. This piece has become the shop mascot and sits by the register Hocking Yoda's for me. It is been running Non-Stop since the third week of December and has taken some pretty serious hits from overzealous fans. Come hell or high water it's making its way into the game once mine gets here in October.

They have them. My distributor received a couple last week,happy to say mine was one of them.

I am wondering the same thing. Have the animatronic child already. Was supposed to be for my granddaughter for Christmas but one tap on the head and I realized I'm keeping it.

This is what worked for me, although I have the pro not the LE. With the flippers at full power you have a hundredth of a second to react to the ball bouncing off those targets. With the flipper strength reduced you have a tenth of a second,which actually is a lot more manageable. Definitely give it a shot.

Again ,this is just what works for me. I put the setting on the lowest possible , it's not like you need the flipper strength to send the ball across the entire playfield. Kudos to the guys that can make it work on full power though!

It's Thursday

I have, and I got to say there's no shame in it. I still have plenty of balls exiting through the outlanes. It has to make a difference in the long run because your narrowing the gap, but it's not a game changer.

For your Mando fans out there who have not seen episode 5 of The book of boba Fett, you will want to keep your eyes out for a naboo fighter ship to mod. I've probably said too much

So you haven't seen the episode.

I've had my Mando pro since August, I added the aftermarket rails on day one and have never looked back. This game is still challenging and a blast to shoot. I played the premium and the LE plenty before making my decision and for the price bump just couldn't justify going that route. I still play those on location and enjoy them but don't miss the additional features even a little. That said I have added enough mods over the months to where my "pro" would now qualify as a "promium". I am currently waiting the delivery of a Godzilla premium, the extra bells and whistles tripped my trigger on that one. It's all subjective and personal preference, play both versions as much as possible before pulling the trigger. All the versions of Mando are fun there is no wrong choice.

Give it a shot in Mando, it's a shaker, it's meant to give you that over the top experience. If you don't like it swap it out, super easy install.
