My Wonka LE is supposed to ship on Monday. I can hardly contain my excitement. Wife and I watched the movie last night.

Is there anything I should do right away to the game? I usually mylar the shooter, but is there something ive missed since the game came out that everyone has had to tweek?

#5826 3 years ago

I got my LE yesterday! I just had my best game at around 3.3mill. What a rush!

Quoted from mjruser:

What's the status of playfields coming out of the factory at this time? Maiden has thousands of (nearly) invisible dimples but no pooling or anything.
I hope JJ has playfield issues under control and it's safe to pull the trigger now?

I got my Wonka LE on Tuesday (5 days ago). My playfield looks great so far, dimples for sure though.

#5852 3 years ago

I mostly focus on completion of modes and progress through the game because of how important the playfield multipliers are to the score. Obviously a good game is a good game and scores reflect that, but I have more fun going after tickets.

I've had my game for a week and saw this on my biff bar. Is it normal? Looks like it might be an issue with the clear.

Also, is it ok to just leave the black plug in the lane and not put the post there or should I take the plug out and leave it empty?

Thanks!

Quoted from KingBW:

Leave the black plug in the lane so that the ball won't get stuck in the hole and require a big nudge or glass off recovery.
Keep an eye on the clear. But that's not a common area for issues. The sling posts are usually the typical clear coat issue areas for the early games.

Cool. Thanks. Mine is a fresh build this month, but I don't think that speaks to how old the playfield might be. This is the biggest pinball purchase I'll probably ever make so seeing clear issues has me a bit paranoid.

Does anyones Gobstopper VUK hit so hard that it bounces into the playfield instead of staying in the shooter lane? I reduced the vuk strength and it hasn't happened since, just curious.

I love my Wonka LE. I wasn't sure about the topper, but it looks ways better in person.

#6339 3 years ago

This bad boy. Considering the price compared to other crazy toppers, this one is a steal

Quoted from mbrave77:

my only issue with this game is when the ball is up behind the gobstopper, that ball guide causes a ton of balls to go sdtm. Ill go upper left flipper shot around right loop and it goes sdtm. Dunno if I just have the game at the wrong pitch

Those pop bumpers are brutal. I've gotten better over time, but I definitely pick and choose when I hit the upper loop knowing it'll feed those pops. I think the pop bumper feed to drain is normal Lawler.

I cared about the pinside top 100 ratings when I first got into the hobby. I cant imagine caring about them now.

Quoted from Bbear:

Yeah... about those playfield issues...

Thanks for posting about it. Please keep this thread up to date with your resolution. I'm sure it will help others that may eventually end up in the same boat.

My Wonka has a little bit of pooling. I have washers and new posts. At what point should I add the washers? If I pull the posts up, I risk what happened to Bbear ?

I'm happy with my Wonka LE, but I would travel the world for a signed Jack glamour shot to hang next to Wonka.

Once i posted this it hit me that to go from 2x to 3x bonus you have to hit the gobstopper three times. Thanks brain.
