I agree.

Metallica appears to have 2 main physical issues - drop targets on all versions and the hammer on LE/ Premiums.
 
While the drop target issue is a simple fix for most games and not a big deal , the hammer is THE central toy of the more upmarket versions of this machine and something that appears to requires a 'company fix' rather than a home 'hope this will do it' fix and STERN needs to sort it ASAP. At this stage , if I were an LE buyer and awaiting my game I am in 2 minds if I would accept my game delivery before this particular issue got fully resolved, bearing in mind that the warranty will start ticking ( in aspects to all other area's of the game ) once possession is taken. I understand the hammer , being a known issue, would be repaired even after warranty runs out as it is a known issue , however you may have a somewhat unplayable game at home for a month or more until STERN resolve the hammer issue and then once the hammer is fixed find that your machine is very close to its end of warranty JUST when you start to be able to play it a lot 

I hope this gets resolved for all LE owners very quickly as its a massive outlay and a 'bump' at the moment in an otherwise very decent game.
