I got a ball stuck in the crook of MechaZilla's arm. I ended up Tilting to get it off...Ball got stuck behind MechZilla- ball search freed it up. Shot to the ramp as the building lowers looking for balls..

Yeah it’s in the high scores, very classy move and very fitting!
Still haven't managed to get mine set back up after the Cracker - motivation to do it tonightAlmost done, hate the waitBut looks worth it

I’ve not updated the code from out-the-box and I 100% need to. I’m going to do it this weekend
That said, we are having enormous fun with the version 0.8 code. I expected to find the music and callouts annoying, but worth enduring for the excellent gameplay. But I’m loving the “English upper-class villain accents done by Californians” Xilien callouts. It’s such a temptation to shout “F**k you, Xiliens” whenever they come on.
Did anybody s tower not work after the code update on the premium ? Mine didn’t
No problems here. It doesn't work at all? How about in test?
Didn’t work at all even in test I wound it down manually to the bottom switch then it worked correctly so all up and running again just seemed strange

Mine made an ugly screech noise when it did the code update.
Has anyone done anything about the bridge hitting the plastic below it? It's only a matter of time before it breaks it. I've just fitted a little silicon stick on bumper thing on top of the plastic for now. How stern didn't think it was an issue is beyond me. Maybe a longer coil stop or plunger to restrict it's travel would do it.
There has been broken plastics there on FB & pinside
Maybe a clear protector on top of the plastic but then that will get broken...

mine has been ok so far and the ones at Tilt are ok and that game must get a hammering...
It definitely hits it quite hard, it'll break eventually.
someone posted a fix on pinside using washers stuck to the end of the plunger to reduce travel. bit of trial and error for how many otherwise the bridge wouldnt open enough to allow the ball to drop.
was just going to use the silicone pads, at least to start with.
quite a few reports of the plastics cracking so day 1 fix.
So did mine on the powder cycle
I contacted STERN about the bridge plastics.
Gave them my Serial Number and
They got back to me and are sending the fix kit for it when it’s done.
My plastic under bridge not broken yet, but edges of the bridge are showing signs of fracture

The plastics on the side of the bridge? there's a little slack in the screw holes on those so if you slacken the screws you can move them apart a little to hopefully stop them hitting each other.I contacted STERN about the bridge plastics.

Love playing this game with the Japanese language option selected, anyone else or just me?

imposters!!!!!
Anyone else keep getting ball stuck on the wireform to the right inline? Balls bounce back and stick in the little divots where the spot welder has applied too much pressure. Ball not exactly stuck, a little bump of the machine frees it. Removed wireform, filed the rough edges of the little divots and refitted.
Being able to understand both options I can confirm that there is no advantage or disadvantage to knowing what is being said, I am equally bad with either language.
Go for whichever floats your boat!
Just works really well with the theme for me, adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game.
