![]() We replaced the plastic leg standoffs with metal standoffs ordered from, added a shooter lane protector from, added a Mystery scoop protector found on eBay and swapped out the crappy standard NEW balls that came with the game for some ultra shiny balls from PinballLife. We unboxed the game and immediately started adding ‘mods’. There was a very, very slight scrape to the bottom back of the head, nothing to get worried about, but I had the driver note the box damage on the bill of lading after hearing horror stories of trying to get recouped for damaged items not noted on the BOL. ![]() I didn’t sign until I ripped open the hole big enough to inspect the ‘damage’. When the game arrived, it looked fine, but had a hole in the box (see photo). In the meantime, I called and emailed R&L to make sure it didn’t get shipped back (all previous tracking history had been erased), and they notified me Monday that it was safe and due to be delivered on Tuesday. Then the tracking went dark until Monday midday. I was able to track it online on Wednesday and it made it all the way to Oklahoma (from Chicago) by Thursday. ![]() The game shipped from Stern on a Wednesday, and arrived at my home at 1pm the following Tuesday via R&L. The wait was just long enough that I started to dream about the game and I was able to play a friend’s LE before my check was cashed. I ordered it during the first production phase of the Pro, but it was already sold out so I had six weeks to order protectors and mods and new balls (more on that later), etc. Just a few weeks after Jeff experienced his first NIB purchase, I joined the NIB club with my own Metallica Pro.
