Hi all, have been preparing to purchase a new GOTG, it will be my first pinball. Came across some YouTube videos discussing poor product from Stern, specifically the Spike2 stuff. What have you guys found, is it really crap or are the negative comments blown out of proportion? Thanks!

#6029 2 years ago

Thank you all for your insight, I'll do a little more research but think I will probably move ahead with purchasing. It's mostly for my wife as she's always wanted one sooo, brownie points!

#6032 2 years ago

I asked the seller to confirm manufacturing date and spike version. I know the factory has been out of stock so I'm curious how long it's been in the box. When did Spike2 go into production? Thanks again everyone!

#6038 2 years ago

Ok, got confirmation that the one available is from the latest run so I'm guessing with the newer 1.08 release. You all talk about the modified code from cleland and I was excited about that, but absent of that upgrade, do you all still think it's worth it? I'm a complete newcomer and reading on here about all the modifications you've all made its making me a bit nervous. Were you happy with the stock game and just liked to tinker or were the mods necessary improvements? Thanks again, really appreciate everyone's comments.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

Since its an older title you should play it before committing. Actually always sage advise to play before you commit to buying if possible (only the LE versions are impossible to follow this advise lately with them selling out in a day).

Agreed. There are a couple arcade/bar places in town that my wife and I went to for that reason. We tried many different games and GOTG was the far and away favorite. I've been trying to purchase since earlier this Spring and just want to make sure I understand all the recent updates before buying. Thanks!

Quoted from Spiderpin:

Like your box. Here's how mine came. I said leave it on the truck, I'm not accepting that.

That must have made you sick.... mine is arriving Monday, hopefully in better condition than yours.

#6057 2 years ago

Mine arrived this morning! Serial# is in the 320's so pretty sure it's 1.08... Is there a thread or post that discusses mods? Specifically ones that are protective in nature, I'll worry about lights and stuff later.

Quoted from Markharris2000:

Waterslide decal material would allow you to esentially print on the cut plastic. You can get a dozen sheets of laser or inkjet compatible material, with white or clear substrate for $10-12 on Amazon. Worth a try if you want to experiment.

I wonder about the printable vinyl for Cricut machines?

Quoted from Loganpinball:

Gauging interest in making wireforms to replace the plastic ramps on this game. I asked on one of my build topics and this game was suggested. I can do standard rails or something creative. I am looking at one of these tomorrow. Please chime in. If theres enough interest I will make them.
Thanks for any input.

Dude, those look nice. Definitely keep us posted on your progress! Just got mine out of the box and set up but would certainly consider those in the future.

Just got a NIB about a month ago. What routine maintenance do you guys do? The recommended stuff in the manual seems excessive for a family machine vs the wear and tear in a commercial setting.

Got an email about a new code update, 1.09. Any hints and tips for us new owners on updating?
