The neon on that topper is a thing of beauty!
Mine arrived yesterday too, so far so good although did notice had a switch error on last turn on. Will investigate today 
hopefully nothing drastic!
Looking forward to my mirror blades arriving from @Silverpaolo and then installing the protectors from @SeikoKid. Then just need to find a shaker motor to install

You may have to adjust your magnet target switch closer though otherwise the magnet wont activate

^ why is that Ā£44 more than the pin sound spike 2 shaker kit. Both are just a shaker no special extra electronics needed as far as I can see?
Sooo... who's thinking of removing their tilt bob? I've got mine as low as it will go but it still feels super sensitive.
I've never removed/disabled a tilt bob before but think I might need to if I've any chance of progressing.

Ear plug.
Others may think this is wrong but I have adjusted the out lane posts, Iām already having much better games.
Hopefully once I get a hang of the shots i can adjust back to default.
So I can't hear people criticising me? That would work but I thought that trick was to make it settle quicker.
It is. Should help, give it a try.
Nothing wrong with that, that's why they're adjustable. I think I'll do the same.
Looks like you can adjust them from the top of the playfield, or do you still need to raise it?
Yep can do from the top of the playfield, simply unscrew and move down.

Hope everyone is enjoying this long awaited game.
Pulp Fiction frenzy is my fav so far. If you can repeat it without draining the game changes colour, from red, to yellow, to blue, to....... well some else can answer that because I didn't get any further

Going off Pinside where you have said 'Right flipper twice' it should only be once.
L, L, R, L, L, L, L, L, R, L, L, L, L, L, L, L, R
Left flipper 2 times, Right flipper once, Left flipper 5 times, Right flipper once, Left flipper 7 times, Right flipper once
Flipper codes never have two right flipper presses
Two questions.
1. I've heard the metal leg protectors are really crap and it's recommended to swap for thicker ones. I've seen this on a YouTube video where the legs touch the cabinet. Are people changing them out?
2. What serial numbers did everyone get for the Bad Mother Flipper versions?

I got these:
Pinguard hard plastic cabinet leg protectors - Pinball Heaven
Set of 4 hard plastic protectors for between the legs and cabinet. These fit behind the leg and overlap to cover damage.

I know a couple of people who have swapped them out to the ones that @David retro sells as they are a thicker gauge metal.
Not seen this mentioned before, anyone got a closeup, would assume the metal ones would be best, plastic ones protude further than the metal legs and are more for covering existing wear than preventing it.
Think these I used on my WW https://www.pinball.co.uk/spares-ac...al-cabinet-protectors-fits-behind-metal-legs/ work well, a tiny bit of daylight between the decal and the leg.

I keep hearing that itās just for covering damage but not according to the Pinguard manufacturer.
It also protects..they say.
I have them on my PF and there is zero contact with the decals.
I have them on all my pins and there is no damage by the plastic.
Having said that, on some pins there are areas where the plastic touches the cab decals, on others there isnāt. (Paper test)
Happy to be shown damage caused by Pinguardā¦. haven't seen any. I put a post out about this recently for others feedback.
Manufacturer description:
PinGuardā¢ protectors are made out of polypropylene plastic. The advantages of polypropylene are:
* Polypropylene has a slippery surface texture so they tend to slide instead of dig in.
* Polypropylene is a softer plastic than most other plastics. This prevents the PinGuardā¢ protectors from digging into the pinball cabinet.
* PinGuardā¢ protectors are molded with a slight radius edge. This further prevents any digging into your pinball cabinet.
* PinGuardā¢ protectors are made from a new polished mold. There are no seams on this mold and it will not harm your cabinet.
Iāll take a close up when I get home if it helps.

Good to know there's another option, maybe they changed the design at some point, or maybe the ones I had were a different brand or something,I keep hearing that itās just for covering damage but not according to the Pinguard manufacturer.

I don't remember them having a tapered and edge, and seemed quite hard, so most likely I brought some generic ones by mistake.
Seen damage by them a few times, I would never use them on a freshly decaled cab as can be seen in my pics. Bought like this, had to cut out heat up and flatten as best I could then add metal protectors and put the plastic ones over as decal not perfect.I keep hearing that itās just for covering damage but not according to the Pinguard manufacturer.

Had a restored TZ exactly the same, the felt protectors are better unless you are covering up leg damage.
Maybe these plastic ones are not the same, no idea.
