Played both the Pro and Premium at a local dealer. We went with a Premium.

Dead post wasn't adjusted to work well and many times was not resulting in a death save. Seems Stern needs to check these before shipping out but it was easy to fix.

Call outs were lacking but improving with code updates!

Liked the animations and theme. Wish they had given JD a better theme but they did a great job with it.

Gameplay is insanely fun. I lost track of the ball sometimes it was moving so fast.

We loved it so much we quickly upgraded to an LE!

Man the LE is beautiful. Every LE needs expression lighting. Not sure what else they add to other LEs that don't get expression lighting....it definitely adds value an experience other LEs arent getting. It changes the experience so much vs a Premium. It's our favorite at the moment. Haven't beaten all the modes through so early code isn't a problem for us yet but look forward to what comes along!


1.0 review update. Game really came together. Callouts were added and need a bit of polish but this is an amazing machine. Combotron MB is a great addition with 1.0

I've added expression light speaker lights and undercab and back box lights. The light shows are amazing with all the environmental lighting added now

Very fun shooting game. The building and bridge mechs on this are really entertaining.

Unfortunately for me there must be a generation gap. I don't connect to the old school clips of the theme and went back to other games on location to play

I didn't like the color choice they did for the LE and the powder coating. Nothing I liked on it over the premium. Premium is the way to go for GZ

This is the game that got me into pinball and definitely my favorite.

Moving through the castles and blowing it up each time just never gets old for me. The humor is a really nice touch.

As a new player maybe the simpler rules appeal more to me than the likes of GZ for better players. As I progress it may change

I hope to own it someday.

This is one of my favorites. My 5 year old loves dinos so it has a place at the top because it's one we play together.

Stern really dropped the ball on the assets with this. Thankfully the movie code brings that experience back, huge appreciation to the guys who did that. JP was the first movie I saw at a drive in as a kid and remember hiding behind my dad's seat during scenes. I love this theme.

The addition of the shaker and movie code really add to the experience.

The shots are difficult but it's making me better.

The only thing missing for me is Co-Op mode!

Very fun game. Shots are enjoyable. Love the building, bridge, and magnet.

Unfortunately for me the theme I just don't connect with so I probably don't enjoy it as much as many others do.

Excellent game but not my favorite

Love Star Wars and Mando.

Stern needs to take what they did with assests on this pin and double it on all their future pins. I loved seeing show clips. Stern drops to ball here compared to smaller companies like JJP.

Shots are difficult for me. Fun to play and should push me to improve!

Grogu is awesome in the pin! Would have liked to see more toys on the premium vs the moving playfield

Played both the Pro and Premium at a local dealer.

At first i liked the pro better but after owning and practicing the upper on the premium I prefer having the upper. Dead post wasn't missed especially when they are going to be giving a ball save instead on the pro.

Call outs were lacking, hoping for more.

Liked the animations and theme. Wish they had given JD a better theme but they did a great job with it.

Gameplay was very fun. I lost track of the ball sometimes it was moving so fast. My son missed the toys on the Pro and I think I would miss the option of expression lighting

Played both the Pro and Premium at a local dealer.

The upper playfield seemed to slow the game a bit compared to the Pro and I was having trouble keeping it up there with that small flipper for the upper. I imagine this is just inexperience but my current feedback for it.

This is a beautiful machine.

I think a lot of owner reviews miss the value aspect. The value this CE provides compared to Stern LE at this price is amazing!

The lightshows are stellar. I haven't seen this done before

It's fun to play. The kids and wife love the theme. The upper playfield is unique. Game is set at the recommended 7 degrees and the ball is quick

Early code still so will update as it is released

The only thing I dislike at the moment is the scoring. Scoring is very underwhelming. For example a skill shot worth 10k is disappointing!

We've blown 3 boards already. Game has spent more time broken than working. Will update when Spooky gets us a permanent fix


Update for March 2024. Code has progressed really well. I'm loving this machine now with the new wizard mode, character modes, and scoring fixes. Spooky took care of all our early build issues and it's been rock solid for a year now.
