Considering mods, has anyone used FiGPiNs or hallmark ornaments? Specifically, I'm looking at the following. I feel these provide a much cheaper option than other mods and in many cases a much higher quality production.

I'm able to hit it on my premium but not often. The shot has to be perfectly aligned (i.e., no ricochet) and then only works about 20% of the time.

Perhaps you are obtaining it from the child, the scope, or super skill shots? From the rule sheet:

There are 4 ways to get equipment in the game: Foundry, Scope, The Child, and Super Skill Shot

Scope

Each of the 3 shots will give different awards:
● Left Scoop/U-Turn - will try to give two pieces of equipment. If it cannot, you will receive points

…for a topper announcement!?! We’ve been waiting for infinity and beyond for this announcement!

From my experience:

Flamethrower - Press and hold button to activate/catch fire to every lane (a good 3 seconds). If other equipment is available and in the right situation (e.g., mission/whistling birds, encounter/jet pack), flamethrower will activate if you do anything more than a quick tap.

Jet pack - Only usable during an encounter while in the mini-playfield. Use a quick (millisecond) tap of the button to activate. Completes current level, levels playfield, advances to next level/bonus.

Whistling birds - Only usable during mission. Use a quick (millisecond) tap of the button to activate. Completes 2 of the lighted lanes.

Revisiting Ambush as discussed in previous threads and the risk versus reward imbalance (i.e., the juice is not worth the squeeze).

Perhaps the player could be persuaded to take a chance of entering the ambush with the following scenario:

Instead of being points based, if triggered, entered, and successfully escaped (left-right horseshoe, vertical u-turn, right ramp), the player obtains all the spoils of their victory from those that ambushed them including armor, flame thrower, whistling birds, amban rifle, and a heal. Alternatively, or in addition to, you could receive an additional playfield multiplier or perhaps the coveted 5x which is often difficult to achieve in one ball (at least for me). If you are defeated, you lose all equipment currently inventoried (e.g., armor, flame thrower, whistling bird, heal). To make this work, once triggered the ambush would need to be timed (e.g., 10 seconds).

@dri, thanks for the post. Do you have custom game sounds (background) installed or is the sound set different on the LE than the Premium?

Do you think there will be DLC available for season three content? I think the likelihood is slim but it may prove a lucrative decision by Stern. If they were to try it on any game I feel this is the one to start with.

Seems like the cost versus profit comparison would justify it. I would be fine with the same rule-set but just adding a few additional multi-balls, encounters, and missions that get randomly selected to fill the mini-wizard modes.

For those with the Armorer mod, will you remove it if she turns out to be an imperial spy? This is the way.

I'm still curious on who the other "spy" is .

Thoughts on whether this would be a nice addition to the playfield?

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting to learn so much more about Coruscant, bringing the two tribes together, returning to Mandalore, suspecting the Armor was/is a spy, and baby Yoda piloting IG-12 are just some highlights that will stick with me.

With that being said, I'm a fan of most things Star Wars so even the worst show would still entertain me.

I think they've set the stage for more western style bounty hunting next season (similar to season 1).

May the 4th be with you.

I just purchased these and installed them. Fit and finish is perfect but I cannot speak to longevity yet. The factory installed post rubber was obliterated after a single year and I rotated them often.

Correct - skinny side down.

This sounds like the intentional/designed behavior you would see on the second encounter. Is this happening on the first encounter or were you noticing this after completing that encounter?

Thank you. I just installed my topper and had the same problem. My screws were super tight pre-adjustment so I’m not sure this is a shipping/settling problem or a factory problem.
