Nah, the hype is there. Artwork is most critical comment but have seen no hate for pf mechs, anticipated flow, etc. So far, everything that can be said, has, 100 times. The release was early am and we have one short video to go off of. Wait till Danger streams on Fri and there will be a lot more to discuss.

I would just find a new distributor, there’s a Nation full of them. Email or call around and see if you can get on next LE list to test the waters. The Stern Insiders go super quick.

Oh god... it was Orange County Pinballs too; the OG $15K markup on day-one peeps

I guess... thank you, for rising all boats on the tide; but FU?

I mean, a tough spot for me, capitalism and doing business versus "doing the right thing" whatever that is. I did that latter bit yesterday, not buying two, but one, showing another pinhead the contact info for the other MSRP I found, and leading another half dozen pinheads to other sub $13K machines, in the order of pricing I found them, and order of DM contacts. But... I don't really fault OCP; it's business in the end, but, it's also shit. Tough

Thank god… thanks for confirming

I think we’ll all be very-very pleasantly surprised, no matter our hyper level. Cannot wait for Danger’s steam tomorrow

Who’s FREAKING PUMPED for 2 hours from now

Mando is the only pin I’ve ever wanted gone after one week, such shit-shit geometry… but it’s the one pin that will always need to stay cause it’s the family favorite due to that cursed child

Alright, watched a good nearly hour of the stream live, but was on mobile due to travelling which is pretty much not worth it, so shut it off at parts as I wanted to watch it on a big TV, but was hard to not go back and watch a bit more. Finally got home late, played some IMDN with the kids as it's their favorite pin, and mine, and then during multiplayer threw Godzilla in on the background TV... soon we were all watching the stream instead.

Just... wow. So much better than expected, and so glad I decided to snag my first LE ever on this pin, as it is my last space for a pin (7th) and I knew it was potentially going to be Elwin's best - and it might be!

My immediate vibes to this pin is IMDN v2 - the flow is incredible, so glad we have loops again, and the amount of shots (a dozen+?) and how they flow from one side of the pf to the other even when the ball is flowing down is just something else... behind the upper left flipper, flows over to behind the spinning table near the mech, and lands nice and softly on the left flipper. WTF! This man has just got to be a secret math genius.

Everything about this is awesome, I am so happy with the LCD visuals... it's nearly all old school TOHO clips as I was hoping for, and not new animation (though there's a teensy bit, which is more than fine). The music, the callouts, the Japanese option, the full integration of the theme.

HOME RUN BABY

I'm so curious if I'll play this more than IMDN once the honeymoon is over, as IMDN is just about all I play these days; I think it has a real-real legitimate shot. He really kept the vibe of IMDN in this, while still having shoutouts to his other pins. A marvel of wonder.

Honestly, what is it about Elvira that makes it the bees-knees? I sought it out to play and found it in a dive bar 90 miles away and certainly had fun playing it, but then decided to plug some quarters in the Stern Playboy next to it and proceeded to play that 20x more, for the next few hours, and bought one the next day. I’m sure there is something there to Elvira… didn’t hate it didn’t love it but thought it sat at good.

Or a Street Fighter pizza

I’d heavily suggest finding an IMDN to play asap. I waited far, far too long just due to living in a very rural area with no pins for 100 miles. I ensured one of my weekly routes went through the city with IMDN and played it on a dozen occasions. It was pro, not dialed in, was “that’s neat” but wasn’t blown away. But I still kept coming back and had more fun each time. Ultimately I knew what it could be dialed in and love Maiden music and just couldn’t get rid of the thought of getting one. Finally picked up a Premium and now it’s near literally the only pin I play; played JP maybe twice since getting it. There’s just nothing even close to the flow and fun factor of IMDN, well, until perhaps Godzilla here.

Where do we get these?

Interesting! I went opposite, started with MBr and moved through BKSOR, JP, Mando and then finally got IMDN and Playboy same weekend. MBr is definitely my least played pin and IMDN my most. I’ve found I really don’t care that much about toys, it’s all about flow for me. Plus IMDN has imo the best callouts, I actually love the animation, the modes are all so different and it’s just FUN.

But, we all like our own things! Kinda glad I went IMDN last. Who knows if I’d love it the way I do if not.

Checking it out now. So if I understand correctly, you follow their Amazon affiliate link and buy there?

Noob alert: where does the sub go, underneath the cabinet?

Great - thanks all. Picked up a damaged box of that model polk woofer on Amazon for $119 and the conversion kit. Will throw on IMDN and see how it goes and if necessary for rest of pins.

Now on LE’s, I know they come with better 5.X” speakers but do they come with woofers too?

How does pinwoofer compare in terms of sound and setup to a polk with conversion kit?

Well shit… hitting cancel on the polk order now

After watching SDTM install video and reading some more reviews, pulled the trigger on the Pinwoofer kit for my IMDN Prem.

Now, do y’all even install these on LE’s, or are the default upgraded speakers/sub already enough?

So can we order a Pinwoofer kit now for Godzilla LE or do we need to wait for it to be a selectable option on the site?

Oh geez lmao… I KNEW I should have looked, but chose the blind-assuming route instead. Even thought of DDing before I posted!

Touche good sir, I stand much corrected - ordering now

Edit: as always - autocorrect BS
