Quoted from cosmokramer:Wow...i sure thought it was going to be bigger...
That's what she said.
Couldn't resist.
Let's see the topper on the machine now!
Height looks about right but thought these would be wider, closer to the ends.
Glad ai waited to purchase and think I will skip this.
Might look better when it is all lit up.
Quoted from pinball_erie:When the hell does your pin come?
I'm deciding which version to get and standing by until Stern is done making different ones. I didn't know if these would sell out so I grabbed one knowing I would have the machine one day.
Quoted from Tseamans:The side cabinet art appear to be an image that's about half the length that gets mirrored in the middle.

That is some shit right there. If you are happy with it that's what matters. I don't knwo what you paid for decals but for the length of the machine there should be no mirrored patern, it should be full art front to back with nothing but fence posts repeated.

No you are right it sucks! I knew it going in though. You can see it on the website. I'm just confirming it.
At least I didn't spend 7500 on a machine just for them to come out with another one. That would have me livid.
I am pissed. I thought the reason my topper wasn't shipped was because they were waiting on side art. I guess that was not true. I was the 12th topper order and still no shipment tracking info yet. I sure hope I have this by Christmas.

I did and love it, wouldn't take a full refund to buy a Pre. Love the art and the armor and my translite, even the plaque which states my number and labels me as a serious Zombie killer. Not too many pins will be coming out anytime soon that depict killing the undead in graphic fashion, its a long time keeper for me. Foolish comment.

I'm well aware of how much you love it. Whether you truly do or just trying to make lemonade from lemons, only time will tell. You keep that LE love strong though. The other ten threads about people hating it is enough to know I made my right choice. So we are both happy, let's leave it at that an keep the thread about the accessory. Yes I know I said something first, you don't have to rehash it. My BAD.

Ok, but I'm not making lemons I'm well aware that the cost of the LE was not represented in the pin to the degree it should have but what can anyone do about it now and I'm not a guy who really cares enough about money to let that bother me to the point of anger. Lots of LE owners love it alot not just me, I do know what your saying but what's the point in being negative, like with that topper and side art better to be positive and find as much enjoyment as you can out of it. Ok now we can be done.

You got that right! Love my LE machine, topper, and side artwork...Makes the LE package really shine!
Quoted from Hazoff:I'm not a guy who really cares enough about money to let that bother me
This is where we differ. And we both made the best of it.
Anyway the topper is really detailed. Very well made.
Quoted from perryd:I like the subtleties of the side art as well, epecially the color and the fence barely apprearing through the muck. Should go well with the Le machines!
The finish is matte. It's dull and not glossy like their art! The quality is very good just like the topper. Correct installation is gonna be key though.

Anyway the topper is really detailed. Very well made.Oh, I want one I'm just a jack ass that's all, but you probably know that. Anyway are you going to post some pics tonight with it in action?
Congrats on getting both! They both look really nice and I can't wait to get my set. I'm definitely wondering why some of us who ordered first didn't get ours shipped yet. Maybe they're shipping in reverse order. lol
Is there a preferred method for installing the side art? There's hardly any room on either side to do it.
Quoted from pinballa1983:Got her installed... Way smaller than I expected, but full of detail! It's pretty sick and I dig it

Looks awesome. Definitely the best topper ever. Congrats.
Edit: it looks the same size as what is shown on Stern's website. Not sure why people think it is smaller than expected? Shrug.

Actually it looks bigger in the pics... If you seen it in person I think you would understand what I'm sayin! Don't get me wrong I still love it!
You know this and a shaker shipped with an LE would have been fair. I defend my LE purchase due to the cab art and armor which I really like but Stern definitely pulled a bit of a boner this time around. Looks good, seems expensive for the size but what the hell, its pinball.

Yes, this would have been nice for all the LE buyers...but hey, we did get the unique artwork packaging with the best translite/backglass.

Its worth a try so I'm going to send Stern a nice long written letter of disappointment, see if I cant get a discount or maybe even a free topper, chances are real slim but why not.

Stern doesn't care, they really don't.
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Stern doesn't care, they really don't.
I know but I'm drinking beers tonight so its the perfect time for a letter, that topper looks real nice and all I'm thinking is how it should have been included with the LE, those bastards. Time to play TWD. 
Quoted from perryd:Anyone know what size felt to get to put on sides of playfield to protect the side decals from getting
scratched up? Also where to get the adhesive felt?
Self-Adhesive Felt Strip at http://pinrestore.com/Supplies.html
3/4" wide, either thickness - I like the 1/32" stuff

Great stuff, I've never seen this site before. Thanks
