Got my Foo Fighters Premium today and busy modding it while my daughter is enjoying it. I can't wait to get my wizmod artblades as they forgot it with my magnetic speaker panel and apron since I yank out my Stern Insider Connect to sell.

Gotta reach out to Cliffy to see if he has anything in the works for this game yet.

Congrats - your Stern collection is getting stronger every few months!

Good to see your daughter enjoying the machine, boy she has grown!

Thanks and I'll have you over again as last time you were over my collection was very Stern-phobic and all WPC :)

Sounds like P1 is getting more premiums late next week, or early the week after. Just put down a deposit on one today. White Water is out after 12 years, and Foo Fighters is taking its place. Looking forward to it!

Question-has anyone here gotten P1 to deliver a game? I lost access to the minivan, so I can't actually move a boxed game anymore. Would rather not have to unpack it just to get it in the Escape.

A lot cheaper to rent a pickup if you can't borrow one somewhere. P1 charges $300 for local shipping.

I have, I'm 4 hours away so I've just had them come set it up. Just make sure you tighten the legs after they leave. They leave them rather loose. Though as kool1 said, you're pretty close so renting a vehicle would be a far better idea. Home Depot I believe rents vans super cheap.

If you have a trailer hitch, I rent a small trailer from u-haul for like $15. I think. It's been awhile.

Neat! I'm thinking of getting the expression lights when they're available. Yeah, they're expensive, but I think they look neat. Not sure how long it'll be to get them though.

I really liked the expression lighting on Rush but they are quite spendy. I think P1's price was like over $750cdn plus taxes or something like that?

I know Eddie over at pinballleds.ca is working on a version of universal "expression" lighting kit that can be added to any game which reacts to sound. He has a prototype kit installed in his SMVE and I've seen and played the game in person. It looks and reacts pretty good too! He is working on a more flush mount for it and will hopefully bring it to market in the near future.

Hey, I got mine too!

Had to mess with the apron to get the overdrive post working properly, but I think everything else is doing what it's supposed to. Have it set right around 6.9/7 degrees. Might mess with it a little more if I don't like the way it plays after settling for a couple of days. The one thing I did notice is that the cords on spike2 games are shorter than on WPCs. Needed to get the game in place before getting it over to the right outlet. Thought the plug directly behind it was OK, but that ended up with 6 on a breaker, which is too much.

This pin is exceeding my expectations even at the 0.93 shipped code. Looking forward to updates.

Upper playfield adds challenging and rewarding shots that don't slow the game down one bit.

Anyone heard anything about a FF topper? Jack has eluded to an amazing topper was coming for FF during the reveal party. My FF is unhappy without its hat, and it’s making my line up look bad with that gap up top :(

Last time I asked about this topper, I was reminded that they are usually released a year after the game. I, too, need to cover the head on mine, but I also demand expression lighting and side armour !
