Looks real nice there James. This the replacement for the diplo 
Looks mint btw so good call.
Defo needs blades although I’m not too keen on the PU ones if I’m being honest.
if nothing nicer around Mirrors always bling a pin up.
now get some plastics sent here I wanna get a nice set together as a few have asked me already.

I got the Retro Refurbs ones. @PeteB will give you a little discount if you ask nicely
. They match the artwork at the back of the cab.
No that's just the way it came and on factory settings. Maybe the photo has exaggerated the brightest.
*The glass was off and main room light on.
I think I'm leaning towards the Retro Refurbs ones, the Stern ones with the big eyeball are crap
James those side blades look great. I'm torn between those and the retro refurbs ones. I like those as they'll match my back glass but at the same time the refurbs ones are brighter and I think that might be good for this game. Hmmmm.
Anyway the game. Holy sh1t, it shoots so well. It's not really like any other game besides Maiden. So many shots and so many potential combos. There always seems to be 'just one more shot' when you're in the flow. I like the DNA combo rewards as well rewarding you for hitting different combinations. Amazing layout. Some tight shots but overall this isn't really an issue. The only shot that's really handing my a$$ to me is the smart missile shot, the right orbit is completely fine once you get it down. Code wise the map progression is great, really like a board game built into a pinball. Collecting up rewards, T-Rex events, rescues, fossils etc etc. Crazy game. Elwin is the gold standard of designers right now imo. The callouts that I was certain were going to annoy me don't at all. In fact I kinda like them! The only thing that has bothered me, and it is super minor, is the raptor tri-ball doesn't seem viable/necessary to go for, kinda wasting that area of the playfield. So honeymoon period report, absolutely superb.

Anyone had trouble with their flippers?
My left flipper has gone a bit weak. It still shoots with full power, but when catching a ball (usually from the control room) it is enough to make the flipper drop a bit. With the glass off, it is quite easy to push the flipper back down whilst holding the button down.
I have not had time to examine it properly yet.
Very disappointing for a NIB game that is still quite new. I had read that quality of the mechs in new Sterns had been headed downhill.

Premium back in stock next week 
Got tomorrow off work. Superb timing! This game has blown my socks off already
Probably released to block Pinball Browser again...
I'm not sure, have you used this stick before to update? It seems Pinball machines and USB sticks are a tricky marriage, I'm using a really old 8GB one as I've had newer ones that won't work. Once I find one that works I leave it with the machine and only use it for updates. I've had ones work in Stern games but not Spooky, and vice versa.
And just to be sure the files on your USB stick look like this:
According to Pinside it has blocked out pinball browser. And it looks like it won’t be getting another update at the moment due to Tim being completely fed up with the continual blocks.
If Stern allowed Pinball Browser it might actually sell a few extra games for them rather than turning people off. Who knows, there could be some weirdo out there who loves the Iron Maiden Pin but hates their music and wants to put on say, a ****ty disco compilation. Sounds ridiculous but someone may want to do that.
A couple might not be enough...
Some people say it's how they're formatted, others the size, others if the machine likes the look of the penstick or not...!
I've acquired a few over the years, you usually get given them on training courses with the course materials on so they are the cheapest of the cheap but usually better for Pinball updates than more expensive branded ones which don't always work in my experience.

I use this:

Never had an issue other than once where the file on the server was hosed.
Lots of folks think there is a flash drive issue when its the fact the image isn't on the flash drive properly.
