Took the diverter off today and realized the black 'post' is really just a stand-off. the screw is a long bolt that goes all the way through to the metal plunger. Recommend locktiting that bolt. It's coming loose within 50 games or so for me.
This is my first NIB pin since BM66.
As happy as I am to see others getting their game, I have to admit, I'm jealous. 
Quoted from Deadpool66:Just received the email my pin is in the warehouse ready for pickup!

27faa404bf35d62e46a230d3cbc9af2c6c6d8028 (resized).jpgI think this is the first machine I got where I was really excited and following all the streams and any information I could. Anybody else feel that the streams really don’t do this thing justice? Or is it like this with every new release?
Quoted from Groo:Anybody else feel that the streams really don’t do this thing justice? Or is it like this with every new release?
Pretty much. I enjoy about ten minutes or so of the initial Stern stream and that’s about all I can handle. Clearly an audience for them, but prefer to experience the rest on my own.
Quoted from mbl1116:Can anyone confirm the backbox width is the same as the other recent releases (27.75")? Believe it or not the entrance to my gameroom is just larger than 28"
Standard cabinet - nothing unique.
Quoted from mbl1116:There's already a Facebook post showing shooter lane wear after a dozen or so plays. Anyone else seeing this?
If it’s anything like other stern games, the coil default power may be way too high. Lower it in settings. Also, Mylar on the ridges would be a good idea until Cliffy makes custom protectors.
Got a good amount of play on a Mandalorian Pro on location today while I wait for my Premium. This was at Electric Quarter arcade in Ocean City, MD. The owner must love Eddy 
Here are some thoughts:
Critiques:
- I had a hard time seeing the mini-pf (I am 5'9"). I had to physically move closer to the machine when it was up there. Hopefully Premium/LE with the mini-PF being higher won't be an issue.
- The mini-pf was tough. Hoping that the second flipper on the Premium/LE will make it a bit easier. Ok this isn't so much a critique as it is a statement.
- The plastic ramps did block the right ramp entrance and some of the blue inserts.
Other than that, I really, really enjoyed this game. I typically don't mind plastic ramps, but on this pin, I'd go with wireforms. I am hopeful that the wireforms don't block those areas as much.
I struggled to hit that left ramp for some reason.
I loved that there were no brutal shots. Like the posts on each side of the TMNT right ramp. You hit those suckers and then SDTM. You don't even have time to realize what happened. There were no shots like that on this pin.
I was ok with waiting on my order, but after playing this Pro, I am really, really anxious to get mine. I am hoping that I am on the July run.
I am also taking my parts to a powdercoater next week. I always have a spare set. I have a JP Pro set powdered and ready to go onto the NIB JP Pro I bought. I just need to actually get the machine.
I will probably use this Mando Pro to gauge what color to go with. I have about 20 orange color swatches from Prismatic powders. I had chosen Illusion Tangerine Twist, but now that I have easy access to a Pro, I'

With the Premium upper pf tilting (or is it rotating??) towards the player it should help with that. But I think it’s going to be harder than the pro for that reason.

I think down under it rotates just not sure if it’s clockwise or counterclockwise ha ha
Quoted from Bmanpin:I think down under it rotates just not sure if it’s clockwise or counterclockwise ha ha
The proper term is it tilts.
tilt 1 (tĭlt)
1. To cause to slope, as by raising one end; incline: tilt a soup bowl; tilt a chair backward.

My custom The Mandalorian apron cards are now available for purchase. I've attached a snippet, but you may view the full cards here: http://aproncards.com/index.php/nggallery/pinball-apron-cards/the-mandalorian
I created two sets in different color schemes to go with either the LE or the Premium/Pro. If interested in purchasing please PM me, and the price is $10 per pair including postage (non-US addresses please add $2).
For those of you not familiar with my cards, they are very high quality. I print them on OEM brand ultra gloss photo paper using OEM inks (no lower quality cheap substitutes), coat with a clear gloss vinyl overlay, cut to shape, and color the edges so the white perimeter of the paper doesn't show when installed on the apron.

Does left ramp exit have a piece welded to it to attach to the ambush ramp exit?

You mean this or something else? If so it’s a locking gate thing that activates sometimes

He’s talking about the premium/le wire form and yes I think it’s welded (based on photos).
The ambush ramp screws into it.

Standard. Throw some Mylar over it and it won’t get worse.

So we gotta order premium wireforms and machine off some welds? Lol. Someone mod this please.

Not sure why you think that. It appears they slide right into the ramps like the pro ramp returns do, and also attach at the slings at the same spot.

He’s talking about the piece midway into the right ramp return that the ambush ramp screws into.

Yeah lol

Could probably use it to mount a mod or toy, etc.
