Yes it should be slanted so if the ball should land on it, then it will roll off into the playfield. I'm not at my game, hope this helps

My nieces and nephews told me this game is " to confusing" this weekend and started playing Iron Maiden instead. Ugh! They all LOVE Guardians movies

Thank you! I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I did. That makes sense.

This has probably been mentioned in the past, but in case anyone didn’t know, I just stumbled on a way to beat Escape Kyln without having to hit the tough Rocket shot.

Build up 6 hadron enforcers, start the mission via the scoop, cradle the ball on one of the flippers, use all Hadrons available, the Groot shot is still available as an alternative to the Rocket.

Like I said. Probably already known. But new to me after playing 2000 frickin games on my machine.

While playing Escape Kyln, I try to hit the right and left top lanes then both ramps to get as many EK shots as I can then use the Hadrons Enforcer once or twice and finish up the mode by hitting Groot. It's great if Groot is ready for a ball lock before you start Escape Kyln. Good times.

Anyone know where to get the sign plastic over the scoop, either the original or the mod one?
Mines broken and I just noticed it.

Yeah. It might have been mentioned before...

Oh yeah, that’s how I do Kyln. I hate it when I accidentally hit Groot before the last shot! I always start every game with Sanctuary then Kyln, then I open it up to whatever I’m feeling from there.

Is it a loophole or part of the rules?

My strategy is to save the hardons and do Kyln later on in the game. It is not as easy as it sounds!

I know that feeling! Talk about dying inside!

I think it's a loophole with the Hadron Enforcer rule about the way it collects shots. It collects a shot on Rocket instead of Groot. Supposedly, you have to hit Rocket to complete the mode. I ain't gonna complain, though.

Good strategy I need to try moving forward, but man that’s one forgiving tilt bob you have there

Maybe it's still in coin box.

It might be.

Anyone interested in a Premium GOTG translite? Not free, but I’ll undercut eBay pricing and cover shipping in the continental US. Shoot me a msg if interested.

Also have translites for:

Godzilla pro
Elvira House of Horrors
Mando pro

Just trying to move some stuff I don’t need and fund some mods. Thanks ya’ll

How do you get 6 HE built up, I thought it maxed at 3 at a time with the newer code??

Was thinking the same thing

I still have the OG one I replaced with the lit up one, if you need it I'll send it to you just PM me.

Not sure, maybe you can't. You don't need 6 HE though. Just have 3 HE, start Kyln, make 3 or more shots (not Groot), then use the HE until 1 shot remaining, then shoot Groot.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I just set up a NIB Pro and am getting some occasional static. I went through the music testing in diagnostics and couldn’t hear it. But I can definitely hear it in gameplay. Very frustrating. (1.08 code)

Just set up my first NIB this week. GOTG Pro. I’m slowly working my way through this thread. But I was frustrated to find the static noise others have referred to. It seems to appear in the Collector mode, and after each ball drain as the scores total. I also noticed right out of the box the speakers seemed really tinny and weak, but I don’t have another machine in the house to compare it to. (Volume is between 7-10).
Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?

I have the 1.06 code and I can have 6 hadrons saved up. I also have adjusted settings over time. This may have been one of them. As well as the 15 sec ball save…

You can change HE settings however you like. Usually if you get 2 sets of 3 the game allows 6. I have had mine set since 2017 to allow 5 HEs per set and a total of 9 at a time. Made it way more approachable and beatable for my kids (and me!)

If you are interested in a Side Armor Kit, please let me know. Just listed in Marketplace. Decided to go a different direction with my game, so these are available. Thanks!

Love this armor, had I gone premium and not le id grab them.

So after only a year of procrastinating.... I've finally installed the sign mod.

It's a great addition and looks amazing.

Shout out to hd60609 for great work

We’re can I get it I knew there was one but couldn’t find it lol

PM hd60609, he would be your source.

Here is his profile: https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/hd60609

I will do that thanks so much

This is a great, subtle but effective mod that does not get the appreciation it deserves, have had mine installed since it was released.

Ya when I got my gotg it was the first mods I went after but have not seen the apprehension for it!

I just acquired a pro model, is it possible to upgrade the orb to the one from the premium?

No there is no mechanism available or code to support it. There is a nice metal cast orb for the pro.

Dang!

Does Queensbury still have the Silo restaurant? That place had amazing breakfast when I was there for Americade.

complete pro plastic set in marketplace if someone is looking for a set.

Received a pro model from a friend in a temp trade. I have this and Iron Maiden pro and he has my Avengers and Jurassic pro.

Already got some achievements on Galaxy. I have the 1.06 Cleland code too, and played that for a while first since that's what my friend had installed, while waiting for the 1.09 download and image writing.

I prefer the Stern soundtrack based on the quick comparisons. The custom soundtrack is just too much "changing the radio stations", even with movie dialogue off and the speech attenuation low (meaning 15, not -15).

Looking forward to making my own version after playing a bit though. Any owners with ideas, let me know.

There’s a hybrid soundtrack too, that’s my favorite. Plays the regular gameplay music, then between the modes is when it switches up the songs with more variety. Good stuff!

The voice acting in the Stern code is terrible!

Not in my opinion. Certainly other games have been worse. I wouldn’t bother taking the time to replace any of that dialogue with movie dialogue because when you start taking dialogue from the movies, you’re going to get background music and background noise and it’s going to be tough to match it up to a high quality.

I’ve already found the setting that lets you turn off movie dialogue. I find that the game talks way too much and then when you have songs playing lyrics all the time, it’s just a mishmash of people speaking and singing.

My Orb shot and multiball activation hasn't been working correctly for several months now. Initially, the drop target spring came off but before I discovered that was the issue, I shut off the orb function in settings. Once the spring was reinstalled, I changed it back in settings but it hasn't worked normally since. I've reinstalled code and checked in diagnostics but can't figure out the issue.

When I hit the orb shot and it enters that area, when the drop target should pop up to capture the ball, it doesn't so orb multiball doesn't go through the necessaary process during play to activate.

Any ideas? I have a tech coming over tomorrow afternoon so any insight or ideas are very appreciated.

Yes. Its still there. Just getting back to full operation

I started having issue with the drop target not going down when the game was trying to put it down. The ball would get stuck in there and the games ball search would not release it because the drop target was not coming down. It’s my friends game that I am temporarily borrowing and he said he started having issues with it and thought it was Code related.

I popped back in the 1.06 memory card with no change and the coil tests in the settings would not lower the drop target.

Last night I took a look under the Playfield and saw there was a spring attached to it. But the spring was attached at the halfway mark of the spring, meaning the spring was too long and it was shortened up by attaching it and leaving a lot of slack.

I removed the spring and it works perfectly now.
I was coming into this thread to see how it was supposed to look and if the spring was supposed to be there at all or if it was a fix attempted by my friend.

Yes a spring is supposed to be there as it does the work when coil item 28 in the diagram fires to drop the target. (The other bigger item 12 coil raises the target) See Manual Page 44, spring is item 6 in the diagram, part number 266-5089-00. sounds like a quick fix was attempted in the past with the wrong spring.

I just picked up a Pro version yesterday. My first machine and I'm loving it!

anyone have a Topper and or side armor for sale or know where i can get it?

Congratulations it’s a great pin I’ve had mine sense last April. I’ve got a lot of mods on it. I put pin stadium lights on it n wow it really brings it out.

Last I saw one on here, someone was asking $1500 for a topper, which sounded crazy to me. (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/nib-guardians-of-the-galaxy-stern-topper-) I hope Stern makes another run of toppers, but I doubt it'll happen

The asking prices on these pins are really starting to take off beyond the usual since they don't seem to be making any more. The last listings on here are all between 7k and 9K for just the Pros.

Congrats man its a great game!

Hey how long is the warranty on the play field. I just noticed looking at mine as I lean down and look across the top I can see like little dimples in the finish. I haven’t noticed any difference in playing or anything but should I worry about it or what is everyone opinion. Thanks
Oh this may will be a year sense I bought it new.

This is an attempt at humor, right?
