I don't currently own a GOTG but played it recently at a league event and really liked it more then I expected. I am now going to monitor to see if a premium pops up in my area for sale.

My question is did any of Stern's current playfield issues (pooling, chipping, etc) affect the GOTG pins? I've been reading quite a bit about the issue possibly affecting some recent makes like Iron Maiden, Black Knight, and JP2 but am unsure if this is was an issue at all during the GOTG run. Any insight is appreciated.

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

Someone on Pinside has posted pictures of GoTG with the pooling issue. I have no idea how common it is, but there’s at least one that has it...and that means more probably do too.

Thank you! What do you guys think of the Pro vs. Premium for this title? Do the extras on the Premium justify the price difference or is the Pro close enough?

Quoted from dsmoke1986:

Not mine, I have a GOTG pro that I bought from TNT; it's perfect....LOVE IT!!!!

Thank you for the reply. Was yours an early run game or more recent?

I am considering getting one that was made in late 2017. It looks good and has some nice upgrades but there is some very small pooling around a few of the posts.

No chipping at this point so wondering what opinions are on if the minor pooling should even be a concern given the game is almost 2 years old and no indications of chipping so far?...

#4233 4 years ago
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

I wouldn't worry about it 1 bit. I have a pro with ever so slight pooling. I bought it used before I even knew what pooling was. Mine hasn't worsened or chipped either. Hell, I never ever would have even noticed it, had I not inspected it like a madman after reading some threads. Don't let it stop you from playing.

Thank you. That confirms what I'm thinking and the owner said. It would be far more noticeable by now if it was going to be problematic down the road.

Are there any dual Guardians and Stranger Things owners here? Debating adding one of them to my collection and would be interested in hearing opinions from those that own both and/or have played them extensively which you prefer and think has the best last ability in the home environment? Any insight is very appreciated.

Quoted from C0untDeM0net:

I own both and personally enjoy both very much. Very different games with some similarities in certain modes due to the programmer. Similar strategies as well as completing modes leads to very large bonuses. That's really where the similarities end tho. I think the tightness of the shots on guardians is a turn off for friends that come over causing it to be ignored more.
Stranger things, after being dialed in, is the house favorite by a mile. It just never gets old for anyone in the family. Totally legit separate strategies you can go for. Go for modes to stack the bonus or fight the demo for supers. Both valid strategies.
I've had an offer on my guardians and considering it but would never for stranger things and it's been here a year and a half verse 7 months for guardians.
Together they make a great package with the cleland audio updates. Rocking 80s tunes that complement each other nicely.

Great feedback. Thank you. Any opinion on Stranger Things vs. Tron in the home environment?

Anyone have opinions on which art blades look best with Guardians? Stern's, Tilt Graphics, or Pingraffix GOTG mirror blades (I see Pingraffix is doing a 4th of July 25% off sale).

#5433 2 years ago

So which art blades do the iwners here like best for this game? Ster's, Tilt's, Retrofurbs? Interested in opinions.

New owner here. My orb drop target worked fine the first 5 days I had played the game. Now, the target goes up when a ball enters but wont come back down.

I have been underneath trying to figure out what the issue is. I pushed the mech closer to the magnet to see if that could be the issue but still not working. The spring appears okay as well. Any ideas?

Quoted from ExSquid:

ugh that sucks , please tell me the wasn’t a NIB. Hope someone here knows what to do for ya man.

Not NIB. 2017 build with under 700 plays. I don't think it is the coil as it doesnt detect an issue when cycling in test mode. It doesnt come down in test mode, either.

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.
