Premium to be delivered to Lyons Classic Pinball next week!

Response from Chas at Stern:

Hi John,
This is set thru the game software. We don’t have any adjustments for this but you can check the operation of the T-rex in diagnostics. Go to game specific test for this. There will be updates so the T-rex more when these are finished.

Best regards,

Evening guys, ok my Premium gets delivered Tuesday morning. Had the option for Monday, but can't take Monday's off. Anyway, I have a question. On the LED screen in the backbox, are there any movie clips, or actual video, or is it strictly animations?
Thanks,
Chris

Wow this one had the spring on the right side of the shooter plate right out of the gate!

If we were to use this though I’m curious what an update to the code would do. Would it erase all of the changes that we would’ve made? Would we have to do it all over again ?

I really think since it seems to be so involved to adjust all of the different TRex settings That Stern should put out a simple poster or flyer or something explaining it don’t you think? I really like Chas and I think he’s a great guy but I don’t think the explanation he gave one of the other Pinsiders says very much about it at all. We shouldn’t have to figure these things out they should just tell us

Sumbitch, you guys are in for some kind of experience if you don't have yours yet!

It's an unbelievable awesome game, one of my favorites EVER. No it's not the honeymoon talking either. I'm going TWD on this one, play it until i drop baby!

Ill join you soon, ICE!

You won't be disappointed Art! I'm not sure what version of the code we are on but holy crap its really really good right now.

Not sure about the "fossils" collected but i haven't unearthed any of those yet

It's a bitch trying to make your way to Nebular and so much awesome stuff to do along the way!

So do you think it is better than JJP POTC? I am not sure yet, but it is incredibly addicting. I have to think it will make a lot of money on location.

Still waiting for mine. No confirmation on date yet

Well I’d like to find out. Still waiting on my POTCCE

But you are correct, addictive as heck!

Yep, this seems to be a very new and different mech from anything else in any other game, so it would be helpful if they put together guides to cover what to do in a few different situations (mouth is too far above ramp, head is too low, head is too far to the right, T-Rex isn't catching, etc.). And/or maybe a quick overview of what each of the T-Rex software adjustments is designed to correct also.

Got our first NIB game all set up tonight. Plays perfectly out of the box. Tomorrow I’ll attempt to put the shaker motor and amber shooting rod in.

This game is really fun I love it . Great addition to any collection , lots of things to do and see , excellent sound effects. Keep coming back to play . Don’t see this one leaving my home anytime soon .

Glad to hear you say that! When I saw your for sale post, I nearly messaged you saying “don’t do it!”.

So it's more fair to say it is CG than it is animation. Kind of like the original movie. And how really good video games are made.

They recreated nearly all of my favorite scenes in CG and really captured the original spirit of those scenes, but because they recreated them, it fits perfectly with the game in the way movie scenes couldn't. They must have spent a ton on it. It sets a new standard in pinball, in my opinion. In fact, I think it makes the quick cut to a sort-of-related movie scene format seem a bit dated.

UPDATE: I hope these are helpful for those of you trying to get the T-Rex to operate properly. There are "Bias Adjustments" in the Adjustments Menu. Specifically, there are Left, Right and Middle. The Middle Bias Adjustment will shift the T-Rex head from left to right. A negative number moves the head to the players left. Positive to the players right. I believe this and the other adjustment (loosen the bolts of the Mech) will solve most issues.

Mine is still not working. Has anyone seen a "Theory Of Operation" for this Pin? That would be helpful in tracking down the issue.

Thanks!

Nothing in this game gets annoyingly repetitive or choppy.
The path options, buttery shots combos paired with direct hit stand up traps/objectives add variety and danger.
What a rush when you nail it!

Added on the shooter rod today

Royale-W-Cheese Mine usually throws the ball when you get the T-Rex Rampage, for the other modes she normally places them in the ramp, just an FYI

So frustrating to hear “it will be shipping next week” repeatedly for the past 4-6 weeks. Especially when this is your first NIB game. I was so excited seeing everyone receive their Premiums this coming week and even some west coast friends in Texas getting theirs! Sure enough, despite being one of the first customers to order 3-4 months ago, just found out that majority of the “first batch order” had to be sent back as they were running into similar playing field issues as did the Pro’s at launch. Turns out now, that I won’t be seeing it until November (still no exact date). Christ Almighty! Aries are naturally impatient people, but this is just getting to be a real challenge at this point.

It won’t help, but you’re not the only one.

Regarding that whole ‘Aries’ thing though... sorry dude, you are on your own. My advice would be to find a different theory about the way the world actually works.

No I know, just unfortunate. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much for the info! Can't wait to play it!

Shooter rod installed! Check out the garbage (i.e. non-existent) instructions I got. To others that get the same, install the shooter assembly and hold down plate at the same time to fit the wires properly. It plugs into cn15 labeled spare LEDs on the node board next to coin door. Unlike others, I quite like the look of a bit of caution tape on the LE. The led color of the shooter rod closely matches yellow britemod BriteButtons for others interested in that look. Still waiting on the raptor tower for LE from mezel. This machine is a winner, great job Keith!

Ordered my Premium end of July
Still few more weeks before it supposed to ship.

Some people have premiums already
Is my Distro just slow or put me on the bottom of the pile ?

You had me a "whiskey"

Well my modding is done (for now lol), changed posts to yellow rings to clear and flippers to green. Installed amber shooter rod, Mezel raptor pen and lookout tower and Pinstadium Omegas, I like it a lot

Anyone else get spammed by some "PinWoofer" moron? He messaged me because I own a JP LE trying to sell me some shit. Pretty weak and I'm sure it's against the rules for vendors to spam people like that.

Looks great! I'm doing the same except no tower mod. Actually think the original is nice. Raptor pit upgrade for sure

Never thought about it. What are people buying? I'll prob wait and see

Who sells the raptor mod. Looks great.

Does It effect the stock lighting On the raptor pit?

Is that an air ball protector behind the Raptor? Haven’t seen one for sale.

Thoughts on which sideblades you prefer?

That plastic comes with the MezelMods Raptor Tower mod. It replaces the stock plastic for fitting reasons.

Thx!

I like these but not sure I want to pay for the shipping to US.

Maybe someone else will post some pictures of something I will like.
