Fun piece. I thought it is a blast to play.
I don't know if I really think of the new Stern pins as to having a
favorite. I do think it is a lot more fun the LOTR or Elvis, but remember
I'm not much of a player.
Well built, playfield looked excellent as far as what it is clear coated
with. Only a few tiny problems so far. Had the wire gate on lower right side
pop out, simple fix, had a cut end from a cable tie pop up on the playfield,
another easy fix. The car assembly didn't want to come up, there is a
coil/plunger facing sideways that sends out the plunger to hold the car
assembly up, when down either the spring was to stiff, or plunger binding,
or end of plunger dragging against the metal and binding things, a little
clenaing and attention cured that.
Only surprise was the TOPS kit, the button for the lockdown bar was too big
for the hole in the bar and top part of the front of the cabinet. Seems the
different playfield stuff up front made Stern go to a smaller hole, don't
know if they have a smaller tournament button available.
Only issue which may be a bug is when you tilt the game sometimes it freezes
or locks up.
I'm pretty happy I got the game. LTG

You DID put a piece of mylar in the upper-left section of the track,
right? (Right under the t-nuts)
If not, you might want to do so, like... NOW!
