Can't get to Wizard mode on the LE as the code is not complete and when I did start Wizard Mode last time it was already in the middle of a multiball, and the game effectively locked up and all the balls drained.

I did know that games shipped with basic code, and TWD LE had a code update before it was unboxed, and another quick code update. But the game WORKED FINE. There's a huge difference between providing a reasonable base code so the game can be played. KISS LE does not. We have been told BEFORE we unboxed that SOME games will have sound cutting out and modes crashing the game. This is a DEFECTIVE game - But we were told to hang on and wait for the code update to fix the defective code that causes the issues. That was in OCTOBER.

In my view, my warranty period has not started yet, as it was shipped with factory defects that we are told - will be fixed at the next code update. That's five months, and that's unacceptable.

Before the car analogies start - It is like I just bought a Ferrari, and I can't drive it until they send me the steering wheel. I can sit in the driver's seat and pretend it works. Just like Wizard Mode on the KISS LE. Both the Ferrari and KISS LE just sit in the gamesroom / garage and wait..

The fact that pinheads accept this is the "Stern way of making pinballs" - Fine. Accept it. But I would never look at buying another new Stern until they finish the games just like every other manufacturer has done and will do - except Stern.

It is not good enough. Not in this day and age. Yes - I am considering moving my LE on as it is unplayable.

Wait for the belated code update, then be an astute early adopter buyer and flip it.  ^^^
