A theme I wouldn't have to throw a blanket over due to embarrassment when having a girl over.

I see a Vito's head sculpt/mech in the upper left of the playfield in the side rail photo. I like that it's not overly big like Homer's head in Pinball Party.

Pick your poison. You can buy The Godfather or The Gaudfather.

It's all the things towards the top in the features. They did cram enough cosmetic stuff in the CE to differentiate it a lot from an LE.

There won't be CEs available second hand. They'll all be used as house decor pieces. Without the TS4 topper, i cant even tell the difference between the LE and CE for that machine.

Probably a more genuine sell out this time around. People went in after being more critical beforehand.

Any image of the underside of the playfield of a delivered game?

Lion leg sculptures are metal? So glad they're plated rather than gold colored powder coat.

The last JJP game I owned was a Wonka. I remember reading literally verbatim the same "problems" with it when it first came out as I am in this thread. I remember the BOM acronym. Lack of toys. Too colorful. Cost cutting. Slot machine. Ugly callouts. I guess every new JJP release thread is like this. I miss my Wonka now BTW. Seems the only way to get a real verdict on a machine is the moment they stop making the machine. I'm thinking the CEs selling out on Jersey Jack's website this time around was more genuine as people sat back for a minute to look over the entire game beforehand, and they won't be mass dumped second-hand on the market.

The collector's edition for Godfather is giving much more for your money versus their LEs this time around. I think the BOM is ticking back up. I do kind of wish they added a ramp or LCD screen in the upper right of Godfather's playfield, as my only worry is it looks rather empty up there with only the cityscape.

It's the caporegime sculpture's health. He takes multiple shots with the ball to drain it. I like it, not sure if I'll ever look down at it.

I hope that's a good sign. I was thinking there would more complaints on how empty the playfield looks IMO, but i am only looking at photos and havent seen in person yet and playfields can always look and feel vastly different in person. They have all that deep space in the cabinet and the only thing that reaches the top of the glass is the head of the large caporegime mech. Was hoping there was just a little bit more crammed in that back half. Lots of compliments on diverters affecting gameplay, that must be where this machine shines.

I would not worry about that. You see clearcoat seepage around inserts often and on playfields other than just Mirco. It doesn't affect ball travel. Chipping clearcoat however would be a problem, but this doesn't show that. That's why the photo is captured with that bright light shined on it at just the perfect angle, as you wouldn't even notice it's there otherwise.

Look at these ultra macro shots of a CPR playfield in the first post. Post 6 explains what is going on.

Are you able to capture a photo of the mirrored cabinet RadCals and the red-holographic golden siderails?

Wouldn't a SDTM problem be remedied by adjusting the roll axis instead of the pitch?

That's better than a cliffy. It's a protector with a playfield-matched decal to camouflage it.

I assume, now 10 years later, they'll end up going all digital with these redemption cards.

Classic Game Rooms has them:

There are also distributors that don't list on here. PinballPirate in California has it listed.

This game is getting a lot of positive comments. I hope it's not just all in pity after people's hatred for Toy Story 4 (never played it myself.)

.

They probably weren't allowed to use any of the actors holding a gun when making the sculpt. Had to intentionally make a fake looking character. Same for the topper.

Stern's Jurassic Park has been in the top 5 for a while, and its main character is Newman from Seinfeld. If Godfather plays well, it'll hold its ground.

Pinball Pirate is in the bay area and shows it in stock. Try offering to pay by check to bring the price down to MSRP, that's what i did for a Willy Wonka.

I'm in agreement with Frogman in that my only negative is how trimmed down JJP's playfields are becoming. It can't be to maintain low pricing because they already hiked the prices significantly to $12k/$15k. But I will say Willy Wonka was very fun and I hate that I sold it, and that playfield was gutted compared to JJP's previous machines and is comparable to Godfather with the amount of stuff on the playfield. They did something right with that title, and I think they did something right with Godfather because it's receiving a lot of good feedback, more than Wonka did... and Wonka they ended up having to rerun it because people asked for it after hating on it.

Look at the prices for CEs of Guns N Roses. Yeah, the only reason the LEs are selling low is because there is still surplus of brand new stock.

They were having a hard time sourcing parts for ethernet. I hope the USBC ports they're using have an extra locking pin to hold them in place.

The exact same crate of miniature wine bottles is $5.99 on Amazon. I thought this was custom made stuff.

How fast did you preorder?

I ordered direct from Jersey Jack 10 minutes after preorders opened up, I better be owed a Friday shipment!

Are we supposed to call the company to pay the full amount or do we get an email saying when to pay? Thanks.

That is a serious amount of metal at the rear of the playfield. I can see better how some of the shots work at that angle too. Must've taken Eric Meunier forever dialing in that entire contraption.
