Hey GOTG owners, got a quick question. I"m SERIOUSLY thinking about buying a GOTG pro version. I really like the premium version because I think the Groot arms really are done well. Looks like he's hugging the game like he did when he was protecting the rest of his team at the end of the movie. Kinda reminds me of the big Godzilla hands and face in the Sega pinball game.

Anyway, sorry to ramble. I'm thinking about getting the pro (just to save money) and possibly buying the aftermarket smaller hands and putting them in the pin. Did anybody else do this to their pro pin and, if you did, can you take a picture of the whole playfield and post it?

Also, I know the orb opens and closes in the premium and LE but, in your opinion, is it really a game changing factor that is needed?

Definitely will get the Stern side art, so any pics would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, thanks fellas! Heavily leaning on a pro version.

I don't have the pin (maybe one day), but I was looking at some mods in case I do get one soon.

On the groot hands, I looked up a Youtube video of the company that makes the replacement hands. I remember the hands coming with separate plastic pieces that would screw on, or replace, the plastics on each side of the pin. Once secured, the smaller groot hand mods would just velcro on top of the new plastics if memory calls me right.

Type in GOTG mods on Youtube and you should find the video I'm talking about. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Sweeet! People complain about the groot arms, but I love them. Looks like he’s reaching out and trying to pull you into the game. For some reason I keep getting the itch to get this game.

No peel to them. You just apply them directly to the speaker panel and the magnet grabs a hold. They come rolled up in a cardboard tube, so you may have to straighten them out a bit. The only manual thing you have to do is to remove the Stern identification plate before hand and then screw it back in afterwards. Also, the art covering the speaker panels have holes in them so the sound can travel thru.

Cool product. I bought a set for my Mando pin and hoping to get it this week. I went ahead and ordered (4) more sets for some of my other pins because I was impressed with the quality. The only bad thing is the shipping is free, but it can take a while to get there. It's a hit and miss. Been waiting for my last order over a month and a half now. It was shipped to Australia for some reason and I live in Indiana, so go figure.

Hope this helps.

Damnit Man get off Pinside and install those mods!! Oh, and can you take pics of your pin once you get them installed pretty please!

LOL Thanks for posting the pics. I'm a mod guy and I LOVE looking at what other pinheads do to their pins and gamerooms.

I got my GOTG pin after a trade for my TWD pin. I know GOTG has a fan layout similar to MET (which I own as well), but I love that fan layout and to me GOTG still feels different over MET. I installed the mods that you bought and I really like the smaller Groot hands on the pin. I don't know, I just like the way it looks like Groot is reaching out for you.

Also, if you can, try to install the Cleland sound package. The voice overs are good, but the addition of the music tracks really puts it over the top. In fact, I have my GOTG in my music row with IMDN, MET and Aerosmith (I miss Kiss, another fan layout similar to GOTG and MET), but shooting the balls into Groot is a lot more fun than shooting them into Gene's mouth (although I love the toy mold of Gene and the overall art package). You never get tired of hitting the balls into Groot's mouth, with him yelling I AM GROOT before shooting the balls back on the playfield which causes the magnet to mess with the direction of the balls. Excellent stuff!

Congrats on the purchase. Can't wait to see your finished "Promium" pin brutha.

Hey fellas, wonder if you could help me.

I recall awhile back some modder made a Sony Walkman mod that fitted onto the scoop shot. However, I checked everywhere and can’t seem to find it.

I picked up a pro version of GOTG several months ago and I’ve been modding it like crazy and I would love to add that mod to my pin. I thought Mezel made it, but they didn’t recall making it.

Does anybody have the Sony Walkman mod in their pin and, if you do, can you possibly post a pic or tell me where I could possibly find one?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks fellas. You're the best.

If this helps at all, I was looking for one a while back and noticed Zach from FlipNOut pinball mad a GOTG topper that he was selling on his web site in the vault. I checked on it and he was asking $2500 bucks for it. I think it must have sold recently, but I can't advise how much he got for it.
