My Premium was just delivered last Friday and it's everything I expected it to be. A smooth, flowing shooter with enough shots to keep beginners and pros alike interested and coming back for more. Highly recommended for a home pin!

Played this for the first time last weekend and had a blast. If I could find a really nice one, I might take the plunge. (no pun)

Surprisingly fun shooter....nice flow...but I have no affinity for the band, so would just be content to play in my local arcade.

Theme was great for me...call outs funny...but the toys appear almost child-like. Not something I would want in a HUO situation but fun to play in my local arcade.

If you like Medieval Madness, you'll like this one...definite MM vibe. The crypt is cool, but I was able to get pretty deep into the game without even knowing the rules and playing it only a few times. So I'm afraid the challenge would be gone in a HUO situation fairly early. Plus the call-outs by Elvira are not nearly as raunchy and funny as on the Scared Stiff I used to have.

I grew up with the original Star Trek cast, so can't identify with the theme. Game play is pretty good, but not one that I'd buy.

I played this and was surprised at the great flow...reminded me of my Godzilla LE. But I have no connection to the theme...don't know the band or their music...plus the cartoonish animation and artwork were a turn-off for me. So not one I'd buy for HUO, but to play at an arcade absolutely.

I put down my deposit on one of these early Oct. 2022...dream theme for me as was the Beatles. Finally got to play one about a month before I got the call. Like the Beatles...my other dream theme...it was a total disappointment for me...just couldn't get into it no matter how long I played it or how hard I tried. Ended up cancelling my order after waiting 7 months.

I grew up with the Sean Connery Bond movies, so I love the cabinet art. The playfield art, not so much. It's mostly left flipper shooting a variety of ramps on the right side. The left side of the machine is basically useless. The Bond on a Wand goes back and forth and the rocket vibrates...meh. I finally got my dream theme and then this.

I ordered a Premium and waited 8 months for it. Went over and played it for an hour, trying my best to like it, but just couldn't. Had to cancel my order. This is a dream theme for me but a total disappointment, much in the way the Beatles was.

Smooth shots, great layout....great game....definitely a keeper if you can find a nice one.

Not a fan of the wide-open playfield. Gorgeous looking machine....wish I could get into it.

I've tried, but just can't get into this one....maybe it's the theme. I much prefer Aerosmith or even Led Zep. Plus, the game at the location in my area often has issues....out of service etc.

Being a long-time Corvette owner, it's the perfect theme for me. Just wish is was a bit deeper.

Always a blast to play this, if for no other reason than to have creepy Rudy watching you. He reminds me of the ventriloquist dummy on the old "Twilight Zone."

Just have never been able to get into this one. Maybe it's how it's set up at the arcade. Cool theme though.

I briefly had one of these and it was great....when it wasn't broken down. I sold it as I did my JJP POTC because of constant issues. Theme great...love the house...artwork great. If you can repair your own machines, it's one to consider.

Couldn't really get into this one. The child-like theme is a non-starter for me. Fun to put a few bucks into and bang around, but would never buy one for home use.

Played this at an arcade recently.....slow as a snail but kind of dirty too. Worth a couple of quarters if you can find one set at that price.

Love the theme....artwork is nice, but just not one I could get into enough to consider for home use.

Try as I might, I've never been able to get into TZ. Maybe I'm used to the lightning fast newer games, but it always seems slow and sluggish to me. My all-time favorite theme!

Great looking game and theme, but I was never able to get very deep into the flow on this one. Maybe it's because of the dead flippers at the arcades.

Update 6/18/23...I was finally able to play this game at a place where it was clean and functioning properly and what a difference! Might even consider buying one in the future.

I think I like this one even better than the original due to the shaker motor and other improvements made. It's a fun pin, but I'd probably prefer a MB if I had the money to blow.

The Godzilla Pro is a blast to play like the other two versions. But IMO there's more gap between the Pro and the LE/Premium than with other Stern pins. For me, it's worth the extra money to get a Premium or LE...lots more features and stuff to do.

I finally had a chance to play a Premium and make comparisons to my LE. It's JUST AS GOOD lol. The same smooth shots, flow, keeping you coming back, etc. I'm just an LE person and prefer that version for appearance, D etc, even though it costs more. But you can't go wrong with either of these! Definitely worth the wait.

Not my favorite theme, but the game play is beyond compare. Very deep like my TSPP with lots of risk/reward shots. It'll be in my collection permanently.

One of my favorite themes, but it's difficult to see what's going on down in Grandpa's lab because of poor lighting. I always feel like I have to bend over and get close to the glass to see it. And Spot isn't there long enough to shoot for him. Love the black and white cabinet.

Beautiful, classic game with fantastic artwork...love the Genie.

One of the most gorgeous tables ever made with some challenging shots....timeless classic.

Not a huge Aerosmith fan, but this is a fun game with some really good shots. Especially cool is the toy box.

Waited years for a pin with my fave music group only to be disappointed when playing it. Geez, if I want a 1960s pin, I'll buy a 1960s pin. But maybe that was the point...just doesn't click for me. The music of course fantastic.

Fun game with a fairly simple rule set, but not too easy...nice balance. Elvira has some funny call-outs.

I've owned TSPP for 14 years and it's still the best machine I've ever played, and I've played them all. It still keeps me coming back for that one more game after all this time. The reversed flippers is an absolute blast...you have to cross your arms to play it...tough because you're laughing so hard. This one will never leave my collection.

Visually gorgeous and a blast to play. But I was paying $200-300 a month in repairs to keep it in playing order because of one issue after another. I had it for a year but finally got frustrated and sold it.
