What happened to the helicopter blades? I just got my Premium a couple of days ago, and noticed that the helicopter seems only 1/2 built. I've noticed in this thread (Post #3051 for example) that yours looks just like mine. However, if you go to the Stern page and look at the images of the Premium, the helicopter has 4 blades. I've posted pictures of what mine looks like (first picture), and what Stern shows it should look like (second picture)

Maybe this is addressed already somewhere else, but I'm late to the party, so if someone has an answer, please let me know. I'm about to notify my distributor and inquire, but thought I'd post here first and see if anyone has any insight on what's going on, since it seems like I'm not the only one with a 1/2 built helicopter.

I've noticed the same issue - The T-REX eating the ball has always been a problem despite my adjustments, and even recently installing the new ramp opto "fix" that Stern sent me. But I've noticed that it seems like some modes are worse than others (T-REX chase) - I hit the T-REX dead center and he doesn't even think about grabbing the ball.

I'm close to just enabling the feature in the new code that starts the mode when the ball enters the ramp. Very frustrating that I paid extra $ for the premium primarily for the T-REX feature and it's just such a problem. Great idea they had, but given the number of people having issues, it was poorly implemented, and there doesn't seem to be a fix in sight. Other than that issue, I think JP is by far one of the best pinballs out there.
