Congratulations on your well deserved award despite all the other worthy competition. Please add me to the list for a Premium model. Keep up the brilliant work.

I say go for it Davey if you are feeling up to doing it. It’s a mod for a pinball machine that is supposed to bring joy to those that can appreciate it. It’s not a collectible and to be honest - the FOMO that seems to have gripped the mod markets isn’t healthy thing for the hobby even if there are some that take advantage of this by hoarding mods to resell later.

The challenge for you is to find a balance between the enjoyment you have doing it vs. the desire to satisfy those asking.

Perhaps the best model is:

- for “new” mods announce it and open up a preorder list. Make that mods list available for a set period of time. Maybe accept new preorders until your production gets near the end of the list. Then close the mod down for the first run.
- adopt a pre-set cycle to make the nest run philosophy. Perhaps you set a time based cycle where you say you will accept preorders for the next run in a set number of months/quarter/year or maybe state you are accepting pre-orders for the next run and won’t begin production until “x” number is reached.
-if any mod becomes to much hassle to build, simply retire it and IF you wanted make a “last call” announcement and then shut it down after that.

For me, as soon as I knew we wanted a Godzilla - I began ordering mods that I new I wanted and started stockpiling them. The FOMO for me was too high. Information is always key and if I knew I’m advance that a vendor has a set methodology to releasing their mods on a schedule, it would help ease that concern.

However, this is coming from someone who installed all of Davey’s mods yesterday, the new CNC flippers, clear pop bumpers, and a bunch of other stuff. So much so, that I didn’t get to sleep until 1 AM and I’m now actually ready to play some games on my new toy. So, for me - slowing down the rate of new mods at the moment isn’t necessarily a bad thing; but, man - that back wall of buildings with the Stumblor touch sure would be something to see sooner rather than later.

Btw - for those that have been running the mod for a long time, what are your thoughts on hooking it up to the GI or not?

My wife and niece both liked leaving it on all time after their first few games last night.

Another question for those with the mod already and those that have a plastic protector on the scoop hole where it is attached and also have a shaker - does the mod (and plastic) shake still with the plastic protector and mod in place?

My plastic protector set (from Pinball Life) didn't have one for the scoop hole and when the shaker goes off, I notice the mod and the plastic moving. I didn't know if having the plastic protector might help stiffen it enough to keep it from doing so.
