St. George, UT
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 Apinjunkie:I saw this post this morning and swore I wouldn't bother my distributor because my Pro isn't due until October. So... After I bothered him he told me they don't know until Stern ships them out what's coming to them , don't hold my breath. Just got a call from them this evening and my mando is here. Will be taking delivery Monday. Mando Monday! Happy dance! :party:my first NIB
Awesome news...Congrats!
Mine will be here Tuesday. 
Quoted from Apinjunkie:Well it's official, I joined the club Sunday evening at 6:45. Mando Pro, my 1st NIB game! I'm happy to say it looks like Stern has addressed some of the issues on this run. They have added a metal retainer clip to keep the LED spot in place, it also looks like they've added a couple more weld spots to the diverter. Also they may have tweaked it as I have not had a single kick back from that diverter in over 60 plays without adding any foam or adjusting the flipper power. Still no washer under that guide however. It's shipped with the 9.7 code and is performing flawlessly! This is the way! Also, I added my first mod this morning, shout out to Andy at Rocket City pinball, his 3D prints are exceptional. I also had him print a set of the Detonator caps for over the red domes which I will have to paint before install. More mods on the way, including metal rails, speaker cover art and the trooper Kabob mod. I took the day off work today and honestly I may never return!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing the positive news! I get mine tomorrow and although I was disappointed at first with having to wait, in retrospect I'm glad I got in on the second run so they could address these issues.
Have a blast!
I'm officially in the club! My pro is here!
A big thank you to ZMeny at Flipnout!
pasted_image (resized).jpegAbsolutely loving my Pro. So much fun although either it's a tougher game than I thought it would be or my skills had depreciated in the three years I didn't own a pin. Maybe both.
I've only had it three days but haven't cracked over 200M yet.
Quoted from crujones4life:Probably ordering a Mando Pro in next few weeks. People who have got their games in the last week or so...
How is the metal thingy with the welds holding up? Are they adding more welds or are they more robust?
I am worried about the ramp cracking at the entrance. Has this been addressed?
I forget where on the playfield it is but there is a post that seems to always be bent/leaning as it is installed on a nut I think? Has this been addressed?
Thanks guys!
Got mine last week. So far everything looks solid and my game works 100 percent.
I read that they addressed the weld issue in the second run.

So I was just in the middle of a really good game (of course) when this chunk of plastic slid down the playfield. I'm assuming it came from here but the piece doesn't seem to match up.
Any ideas? If it is from here how difficult is it to replace?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: The more I look at it, I don't think it came from there but I could be wrong. Is this how it's supposed to look?

Quoted from GoodOmens:That looks like a piece of ramp plastic. Check your left ramp? Unsure how it would get over there though.
Yeah...I'm starting to think that it is a piece of the ramp but I can't seem to find where it was broken off. I found it on the lower right playfield.
Quoted from crujones4life:Pretty sure that piece popped off under the metal ramp protector.
I’m thinking you’re right. It seemed to come from this area.
So what do you think? Is it worth worrying about? I’ve owned pins with plastic ramps in the past without a problem. Don't want to bug my distro unless it's something serious.
Quoted from flynnibus:That looks pretty normal - they are talking about the left ramp entrance.
Thank you. Gonna pop a beer and play some pinball.

I've had my Mando pro for over a month and although I'm enjoying it, I'm finding the game is more difficult than I had hoped.
Either that or my skills have really diminished in the last few years that I haven't owned a game.
I'm seriously humbled by how shitty of a player I've become. My top score is 260 mil which compared to others is pretty pathetic.
Dropped more "f bombs" since I've owned it than I normally do in a year.

Sorry for the dumb question but it's been a long time since I update code on a pin.
Can't find my USB stick so I'm going to buy another one. How much memory should it have?
Thanks in advance.
Just updated the new code.
Since when does installing new code not wipe out your high scores? A pleasant surprise!
Sorry if this has been answered earlier in the thread.
On the pro, the ball is really difficult to hit in the upper playfield because of the single flipper. It usually just drops down.
Is there an adjustment I can make to where the ball makes better contact with the flipper?
Quoted from chuckwurt:Nudge the game as it comes down that rubber guide. Move the post on the rubber guide on the left to close off the drain up there as much as possible. Put a bouncier rubber or thicker rubber up there to help bounce the ball to the upper flipper.
Thank you....I will!
Quoted from Riefepeters:Yes, literally 60% of the time it never makes it to the flipper. If you want it to get to the flipper 100% of the time, just remove the small clear plastic where it drops. The ball will kick to the right instead of straight down. Much more enjoyable to play encounters!
I'll have to check this out....Thank you!
Quoted from Peanuts:New version!
LE/PREMIUM V1.01 - December 16, 2021
====================================
NEW:
- Added new adjustment called SKIP ENCOUNTER BONUS LEVELS.
- It defaults to YES.
- If set to YES Encounters will skip the first two bonus levels. You
will be allowed to continue from level 1 to 2 to 3 without interuption.
The Bonus level will only start after level 3. Bonus level points are 2X
what they were.
- If set to NO the serries of levels and bonus levels are unchnaged.
TWEAKED:
- Setting the Adjustment MULTIBALL ALWAYS ENABLED to NO will now require a
new Hunter Mission to be started and competed or draining the ball before
you can advance to the next multiball.
- Changed the default of MULTIBALL ALWAYS ENABLED to NO. By default you will
need to complete a hunter mission after the Multiball or drain before you
can advance to the next multiball.
- Added MULTIBALL ALWAYS ENABLED difficulty Installs. It will be set to YES
for EASY and EXTRA EASY and set to NO for MEDIUM, HARD and EXTRA HARD.
- Setting Competition game play mode from the GAME PLAY MENU will treat the
adjustment MULTIBALL ALWAYS ENABLED as if its set to NO
- Changed the default of adjustment DISABLE TOP POST to be
DEFAULT DOWN: RAISE AS NEEDED.
- Improved some sounds volumes
- Improved some messages for Encounters
MOVED TO SYSTEM 3.01 -
Updated to nodeboard firmware v0.81.0
Pro too!

Just updated to the new code.
I have to admit, when I first got Mando I was sort of underwhelmed. Loved the light show and a couple of other things but felt like something was missing.
As the codes progressed and I tweaked the settings to make it a tad easier, it became much more enjoyable. Now I'm loving it. Almost traded it a couple of months ago but now I'm really happy that I kept it.
Quoted from livetowin:Thinking of ordering a pro but just curious if the premium is worth the upgrade on this one or if the pro is enough?
Also love my pro. My only complaint is the single flipper in the upper playfield.

Just played a quick game and heard two new callouts.
The light show seems a little different although I could just be imagining that.
I broke 300,000,000 for the first time last night and saw and heard all kinds of new stuff.
The longer I own this game the more I love it.
Bring on the &^%$#@ topper already!

Quoted from RipleYYY:same... but there's always something missing (lol)
my 1 month location is now complete since few days, but as the distro (he's a friend) didnt call me to take back the pin, let's play it !!!
i would say Mando is quite easy on the base things, but once you're in the mini-wizards, its not the same story (and thats a good point for sure)2.1B tonight, the 1.30 table :

I kinda like to think of myself as being pretty good at pinball. Played hundreds of machines for the last 50 plus years.
Then I see scores like this and I feel like a novice. Well done, Sir. I've barely broke 300,000,000 on mine.
(Side note...I wish Stern would have sprung for a second flipper on the upper playfield on the pro.)
