Quoted from gambit3113:

LE is a home run buy, even with 1000 produced. This doesn’t just look like Stern’s biggest hit, it looks like Stern just produced something that won pinball for the last 20 years. I’ve never seen more unanimous agreement on a machine than I did tonight during and after the stream.

The team up battles were fun to watch! So campy when Godzilla flies horizontally to perform a kick, but so awesome at the same time.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

I wasnt thrilled with the Narrator, only in the sense of being slightly overused.
(but that was with Keith Playing)
Under usage of toys...the building seemed more "incidental" than strategic.

I liked the narrator.. The other callout guy from JP sounded out of place though and was sometimes thick on the accent. I hope there would be an option to turn him off.

There's probably a lot of tweaking left to do on the rules. For example, the left spinner and the target below it were largely ignored. The majority of shots were center spinner and ramp. Even when the lightning bolt insert was lit on the far left, nobody shot at it. Maybe it's not really coded in yet... shrugs.

The flippers seemed weak when shooting close to the flipper tip - almost reminiscent of JJP flippers. Maybe power was turned down? I recall there was some comment during the stream about flipper power.

Quoted from PinKopf:Has anyone seen or heard an explanation of the "bash" function on the building? I had assumed the building would lower down and you'd bash one of three levels with a solid surface. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
There were numerous instances where they seemed to be bashing the building, but it was always at the first or second levels that should be passthroughs. Didn't look like just rejects or anything either - is there perhaps an up-post or controlled gate or something in one of the building openings too?
If so, I'm curious if the Pro well have this function too. Otherwise it just seems like out would be a ton of shooting the building and the ball always returning to that lane next to the building/magna grab over and over. That bash function would throw in some variety on the Pro too...

The bottom level seems a bit more difficult with blue rubbers narrowing the entrance. I don't think there would be a physical bash mode...

Quoted from beelzeboob:

This is correct. I once had a book that I had purchased removed from my Kindle by Amazon with no remuneration for my loss. One day it was there...the next it was gone. Some court case was going on, so everyone who bought that title suddenly didn't "own" it anymore. Ridiculous.

Yeah that happens with those shady romance novel publishers....

Quoted from Blindseer:

As a location we still dont have a ship date yet. I wonder if insider connected is the hold up. I am also a software engineer and I wonder if they are ready to roll out a system to the public. Insider Connected might have worked well when isolated to employees but when you scale to the public is might be a mess.

There's always a chance for growing pains in any new system deployment, but they have been working on this for a few years now. The load isn't going to be significant at start anyhow since only 1 game (Godzilla) will be supported. It will be a gradual ramp up for sure as more Godzilla ship, older games are onboarded and kits are made available. I think what we hear of their rollout plan seems fairly sound.

I spent a lot of time this/last year rolling out an enterprise solution using QR codes and phone application. Third party, but it works rather well and is extremely easy to use.
