Although feasible this is not practical when you have a machine in a parking lot and you are caught off guard without any proper tools.

This was me last night or late afternoon. The vehicle I was borrowing was not a good fit, to make matters worse, the shipping company would not accommodate home delivery at a suitable time so picking up was my only choice. At this point the box was out of the warehouse and due to them not having a loading dock for lower vehicles I was not able to store it again for the night.

Had to quickly run to the nearest home depot and rent a van. Wasted a lot of time doing this for a delivery that was paid to be a home delivery and cost me more money.

So yeah. In short. This box is a lot bigger than a Stern box

You did just pay $8,000 USD for the pin, what’s another $150 to get it to your door safe and sound? Your time, gas and wear and tear on your car is worth something too so $150 sounds reasonable to me.

Yes. I re-seated the plug and have some shake. All good now!

Looks like I should have my PF on Monday!

I hope it will feel at home here!

We all would feel at home there

Posted this 26 days ago... Everyone else be warned!

It will look great in your room!

anyone able to take a photo of the backbox speaker? specifically where the connectors are?

Getting direct feed audio out of this game needs divine intervention...

Regards,
Neil.

I'd be very pleased with this lineup. Fingers crossed they still do a re-run of MM in the future.

Reach out to Karl. He's done it.

Yes I spoke to him already and his solution was a temporary one I have an idea for a perm one but my game arrives tomorrow so can wait until then.

The J6 connector on the controller board feeds the neck and cabinet speakers, so a LOC would probably work. Upstream from that is a TI TAS5760M class D amp.

Same for me ... PF fits perfect in the EE section.

Man...so these things are bigger than the same style from the era? Wondering if the topper is going to fit lol.

The old games had no speakers between cabinett and backbox
On this side a TAF with topper found its place ... so hopefully my LE will also fit on arrival.

Deposits only NO FULL Payments Till games are ready!!!

why are all these games people are posting with black happ door?

Got my invoice today. Reportedly 2 weeks out!

Route games I beleive.

Sad news heard from the distributor that they're being told fall for when the BMF edition will start shipping.

No, theres been some home use games posted with the black coin door. Mind blowing that anyone would make that choice if they didn’t have to.

It's easy to find in stock black coin door games. Plenty of folks have them when I was trying to source a game. I'd love see the business case that says prioritising the low cost end volume first makes sense. The game above looks like an import though as it should have an EU coin door with one slot only.

Absurd, mine is going on location and I got the nice door that fits the design of the game. There was no way in hell I was gonna get the cheap ass black door for the same amount of money. Sure, they were produced first for location but…man…patience pays off.

Question and answer.
I ordered a LE version but have the feeling that this will be in germany earliest in septembre/octobre.
So the one with the ugly black coindoor was available in the US. I want to play PF, not look on the coindoor. So no difference in gameplay
But for sure ... the old style coindoor is a real beauty !!

Got mine. Super fun. First game had a 12 million game, no idea what I did. Tried doing that again all night, not even close.
Rules are great. The briefcase toy is amazing. Wishing I had the LE but not sure I am missing much other than some light effect I won't see while playing.
Really fun, definitely a super fun player that is different from all my other Sterns and Alien Machine. Is it a keeper? Time will tell, love the theme and the ruleset is fantastic with enough to do to keep me coming back without going for an adventure like Godzilla which I often ignore due to its complexity.
Great work cgc, Josh and Team.

Last, the sound is great. Some mia call outs are hard to hear but that is probably how they original are. Love it.
Built quality is top notch.
Happy owner and a much better experience than unboxing my tragic Stranger Things, which needs to be fully dialed in and nothing works.

Oh one more thing, that instructions manual. God bless the person that make it. This is someone that not only loves their job but also pinball. Stunning work.

Thank you for this great machine!

I had some divine intervention that makes me question my own business case question and I can see why this order could make sense and whilst I love to be right; sometimes it's good to be wrong.

Neil.

Same for me. I have LE on order but I'm a FOMO bozo (otherwise known as an ideal customer ) So I couldn't wait and bought this game whilst in the US. I got super lucky as I thought I wouldn't find the nice coin door version. I wouldn't recommend doing what I did because it isn't worth the few dollars you save but not much, but I won't get any support from my local dealer, this will be at our club when we reopen (and Swavesey UK Pinball show, UK Pinfest and the UK Open also).

Neil.

Search this thread and the club thread there are audio settings that improve the sounds for sure.

Totally agree on the manual - I think Butch does them and they are outstanding.

Neil.

My 3rd game I got GC with 10 million. I've cracked 2 million once since. Ignorance was bliss I guess. Now I know the rules and just can't get the shots I need to start opening up those big points. Agree with everything in your write up.

Sure, but when it comes time to sell it will likely go to a home buyer who is likely going to want the vintage style door. Another reason why I waited for nice one.

This is a great game. Played many times at my local arcade. An amazing theme! This sold it for me. Also more importantly this is a great game! Great shots and flow. Blows away most of the new games out. Canceled my Jaws LE immediately once I played this one! This will fit nicely next to TBL! Love the vulgar in both games. So fun! Hope it offends a lot of people! Lol

As a potential buyer in the used market… if there were two to choose from priced the same i take the vintage door all day long, if there is a black door for less money I’d gladly buy it and save a couple of bucks. What’s the vintage door worth to me? A couple of hundred bucks maybe. They will play the same, I’m not that precious about it.

Really to be expected based upon history, now was it fall 2024?, I kid, I kid, will be over the moon when it arrives!

Butch Peel. Best manual guy in the business. Glad Chicago Gaming Company snarfed him up !

LTG : )

Meanwhile NeilMcRae and me are playing our PF
Please understand, we are in Europe, we have to import our pind ourself due no dealer has right now PF in stock nor an example game.
We are the quick guys.
If our LE arrive, we can decide what to do. But for the next month we can play our PF.

100% agree - I want to play

but I did get a nice door although I’d have taken the black door as this will end up in our pinball club!

I remember Butch saying that CGC had redesigned drop targets - and wow what a job they have done. I love the details on this!

Fall 2025 is more realistic for CGC to finish LE's

WHO has Pulp Fiction on route / locations ?

I do. Pizza J Providence RI

I do. At my arcade. SS Billiards in Hopkins, MN.

Man, that mirrored backglass is so sweet, I wish pinball never got away from real mirrored backglass...

Edit: Haha wrong thread.

But happily waiting for PF LE!

Someone was asking for a carpet/mat to place at the foot of the game. Could also customize if you want to add your LE number. Could likely offer them for $50 plus shipping for a 20 x 32 inches. PM me if any interest. Thanks.

Encountered an issue today:

After locking 2 balls in the briefcase and 2 in the pawn shop the game kept firing the trough eject to spawn a new ball that does not exist.

Is this a code bug? I would think that the game would eject a ball from the left eject hole in that circumstance. I had to power cycle the game twice today.

I did also notice that the left ball eject flashes occasionally for no reason. Is a switch problem causing the game to lose track of balls? I wonder if that subway switch is getting stuck down.

No.

Please go into Tests - Devices - Ball Trough, Pawn Shop Trough, and Brief Case Trough. See if an opto is locked on.

If so open a ticket on the support desk and mention which one.

LTG : )

When I’ve locked 2 balls in each on mine it’s served one from the left eject.

Same thing mine did. Check the trough optos. Most likely opto 1 is bad

Thanks ya’ll, will take a look see and report back
