ybrock Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I would say we should start seeing them later in the week or early next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesder Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 My premium should be arriving tomorrow afternoon some time. It's been a couple of years since I got to experience a new pin day - so I'm pumped for its arrival!! 🙂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBryce0712 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Couple of initial impressions: Pros Immersive game, well integrated theme and display. Stackable multiballs and modes plus multipliers. Good strategy can lead to a hefty pay day if done correctly. The foundry adds to strategy and is well executed. Layout is excellent with some old school elements. Backhandable shots, good combos, lots of staging and diverters for the ball... some good mechanical action with the upper pf. I did have initial impression that it was centre shot all day but code makes you play the entire pf for decent scoring and progression. Cons Not good enough to stop me playing gnr Code is buggy as shit at .98 Grogu is fine and doesn't take up wasted real estate as some think, and the child lanes are a nice throwback... BUT the child awards need to be more lucrative over just normal mystery awards. I could care less if he moves or not... its a very nice mould. Needs more side missions. Art - all subjective but a real rustic western presentation with all the rich colours, dark metal and warm lighting. Whoever did the art nailed it and should be doing more games. A nice break from the rainbow vomit palate that has come out of late. Probably the nicest looking backglass since bksor.

Hawks Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Took me a few plays, but now that I’ve got the feel of the game, it’s great fun Very interesting layout and the mini playfield is pretty awesome Easy to backhand the big left ramp, but I do find the right ramp to be difficult to backhand, not a big deal, but would be nice if that shot could be dialed in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peely Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yes some satisfying shots, lots of makeable backhands. Straight up the guts seems to get a work out and is and easy shot. Had a chance to see the pro and LE against each other. Stark differences in the finish and sound. The mini pf is quite fun on the LE as its tough as nails. Not at all like that disaster in munsters or ACDC and a step up from GOT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its purposefully difficult as it can be the most lucrative shot on the game... If you have full pf 6x running plus flame thrower at 2x then your 4x on the ramp going you can potentially have a huge pay day for that shot. The game really makes you use the whole pf and work for that pf x. Its no gimme plus the foundry strategy plays a big part.

Koops Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) so ... have melbourne guys got their machines yet?

specialharmony Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 This game is one of sterns best.. Layout is so well done, ramps are so good to shoot, modes are good, animations & callouts tick every box. Upper playfield is very tough-which is good. Very well coded with more to come. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbeer Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Played an LE last weekend. This is an awesome game. First thing I noticed was while the promo playfield pics of the game suggested that the layout is rather non-tradition and unorthodox, the game itself is really sweet to play. It has some traditional shots but the new stuff just seems to work too. For example while Baby Yoda looks to just take up space at the back of the game in pictures, it is actually raised off the playfield and has an orbit around it as well a ramp running over it. The mini playfield is a cool feature and can run during multiballs, but it is also played solo at times allowing a break from the main game, mixing-up the gameplay in a positive way. As you imagine it starts off easy and climbs as difficulty increases as well as the number of shots to be made. This will be a challenge to master. The mini-playfield and the Beskar armor/foundry reminded me a little of premium/LE GoT mini-playfield and Lanister gold, except both are much better here. As if Dwight has fine tuned them and put them on steroids. This game is a winner, buyers must be happy. I'm keen to play it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely interested to catch up and play a Mando one of these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koops Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Finally got my LE a couple of days ago. I had the entire playfield replaced due to a factory quality fault, caught by the distributor (it should never have left stern like it did). Might have been acceptable for a pro on site but not in a home LE version. I was not expecting to see it fixed this side of a few months but only took ~ a month in the end, so kudos to zax/amd! Minimal number of post unbox fixes I've needed to do but I still get the occasional ball flying off ramps though so its not entirely perfect yet. Actual game play exceeded my expectations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBryce0712 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I drop the flipper strength down on any new stern I get. I did it with my le and have no balls flying off ramps etc. 235 I think I set them to. Flippers are strong enough still for all the shots. Upper pf flippers I kept factory as they shoot perfect. That upper pf is underrated... so fun to blast away at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree John and drop slings down as well, less air balls and side drains… top pf is a blast and very playable… overall this has to out to not only be a spectacular looking Stern but a fun playable game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBryce0712 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) There's been some evidence of ramps cracking just past the factory protectors. Highly recommend getting the cliffys which will prevent this ever happening. See pics of my install for factory protectors then cliffy replacements which completely protect that prone area where the ball hits the plastic ramp (1st pic shows factory protectors on each side which are a lot shorter). Its just a matter of time if its not sorted. Theres nothing fun about cracked ramps. Hope this helps... and This is the way.

How long did it take for him to reply? I emailed a week ago and are still waiting on a reply. I assumed he was flat out right now.
