Quoted from Pinphila:

$6900 Pro. Wow. I wonder what the street price will be?

I’m guessing $6200-6400.

In other words, still the cheapest real pinball machine available and still the best value by far for pinball hobbyists and operators.

Quoted from Haymaker:

Yes, this has always been the case for LE's with maybe the exception of Tron

Star Trek LE.

#1153 2 years ago

So cool!

I may get used to the rest but, what did they do to the Godzilla Logo and the Callouts sound horrible!?

*heavy breathing*

Edit: Ok, it's switchable to japanese...

#1155 2 years ago

Looks fun. I'd for sure go with the Premium.

#1156 2 years ago

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Keep going back and fourth on this one, order or not order, tis the question.

At 9k, definitely not for me.

#1158 2 years ago

shortened trough?

They will be making them for years, no hurry

#1160 2 years ago

What’s this reflective shizzle?!

Why?

People will pay extra for a topper. Also, not everybody wants a topper.

I’m glad my Zep LE doesn’t have that chintzy, noisy contraption on top.

Quoted from AMSNL:

Powder coated everything but the door...that's amusing to me

#1163 2 years ago
Quoted from nicoy3k:

Zombie yeti is Uber talented but I haven’t really understood his direction for the last two games, total misses IMO.

Ghostbusters was his best work. The art on that game is sublime and fits the theme perfectly.

LE's have always been for people with money to burn.

Because the price and features are ridiculous for what you get.

Because they are not really providing a compelling reason at all to buy an LE like JJP did with GNR
You got to lure me in with something special, besides Gary's signature, different artwork and powder coated rails

#1168 2 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Pretty much all I care about:
“ The game also includes the iconic title song “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult”

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Upgraded speakers, artblades, armour, invisiglass, mirrored back glass, shaker motor.
What do you think the value is for those items? I think they definitely exceed the price difference.

#1170 2 years ago

I just want to say.. Congratulations Stern on this title. It is truly a work of art.

Now to get some of my other games sold.

The art blades and shaker are the only ones I care about there and can be added to a premium for $200. Either way, pricing on these has gotten ridiculous. I'm out on NIB.

Quoted from PilotPinball:

The art looks like it was executed by someone who has never seen a Godzilla film. The vibe is completely wrong. Spooky got the feel correct for Ultraman though.

Thank you! Too kind! (I'm blushing)

Speakers - 300
Invisiglass - 500
Art Blades - 200
Powder trim - 150 (This is a stretch by a bit, but it can be done. It's not like Stern is doing any fancy double/triple shot powders)
Shaker - 150
Backglass - 350

So....IMO, 1650. Question is, is the backglass and THOSE SPECIFIC blades and cabinet art worth it, and saving the hassle of installing it yourself. Everything else could be done later. Not that it matters, because good luck getting one.

#1176 2 years ago

So does Godzilla breath fire during the game? At these prices, he should.

#1177 2 years ago

I am officially priced out of ever getting a NIB game. I’m glad I a very happy with my collection I have built in the last 20 years.

Quoted from zombieyeti:

I don't think anyone is knocking the artwork itself because your work is always amazing. Art is subjective and personally I would have preferred something darker and more along the lines of the campy old school movies. Doesn't mean your artwork sucks and it's just the direction you and Stern decided to go with this title. I prefer your art over anyone else's and just cause it's not the look I was hoping for doesn't mean it sucks. I was actually hoping they would have done a black and white version but maybe they will save that for the vault premium.

#1179 2 years ago

My biggest initial knee jerk criticism…is that I wish the artwork had a much narrower color palette. I was hoping the LE would be black and white like munsters

#1180 2 years ago
Quoted from estrader:

The premium art package looks better. The LE trim looks terrible.

LE trim is all Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla themed. Mecha Godzilla is all over it, and is right there on the PF catching balls. The silver is the same silver metallic that they used on METLE, which is super nice in person. It seems to go perfect to me. *shrug*

#1181 2 years ago
Quoted from Scandell:

This is something that bothers me. Too many colors...reminiscent of AIQ. Add in the art blades and it is just a lot going on.

Is it me or should smoke and fire have come to pinball a long time ago?

Invisiglass is $250 and the speakers are $20 with $30 rings to go to 5.25. I have no idea where you are buying Invisiglass for $500.

I'm not kidding Zombie. My home in Japan literally has Godzilla artwork in the bathroom. This pin looks as if Godzilla was part of the Marvel universe.

Is there a more thankless task than making pinball machines for these miserable bastards?!

This game hits all the FOMO-inducing pheromones. Even I’m bummed I’m not gonna score an LE.

Yea god forbid anyone has a different opinion than yours. We should all blindly like all games equally. This is a forum after all, no room for opinions or discussion here. Can I set up direct deposit with stern so they just automatically withdraw cash for every game?

#1188 2 years ago
Quoted from zombieyeti:

I wouldn't take it too personal brother, your art is miles ahead of the rest. But I agree with most on here, art package should have been darker for the theme.

Quoted from Waxx:

Invisiglass is $250 and the speakers are $20 with $30 rings to go to 5.25. I have no idea where you are buying Invisiglass for $500.

I haven't bought Invisiglass or speakers in 7 years. Does that answer your question? So you're saying it's even less of a value proposition. Good to know. Thanks.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

No. No there is not.

#1191 2 years ago

I think this looks like a great game. I think all three art packages look great, and the shot layout and mechs look like it should be a lot of fun to play!

Exactly!!!

Stern is giving us all what we say we want. So there’s really little room for dissent when a reveal is this shockingly amazing.

Man, if I ever saw you like anything and not carpet poop everything, I'd pay this some mind and really be introspective and think about what I am bringing to the table. However...

#1195 2 years ago

Most people don't actually want drab/dull for their pinball machine. Remember the hobbit playfield fiasco? Originally it was movie accurate with the colors and everybody whined until they changed it to be brighter.

Especially on location you want it to pop. I think the art looks great on these.

Dude this is not healthy. Your art is high quality and the game will sell out. Not everyone will like something as subjective as art.

#1197 2 years ago

Foil cabinet art, armor package upgraded sound system ect

Quoted from Frax:

So what's on the LE then? Powder trim and mirrored backglass and....that's it? lol.

Quoted from TheGunnett:

Art blades, shaker, invisaglass

I love that magnet post sticking up out of the Plainfield. What a great and simple modification to the standard magnets that we're used to.

#1199 2 years ago
Quoted from insight75:

I've seen both come out of a game before - never as designed and never a good thing though.

#1200 2 years ago
Quoted from gambit3113:

Zombie killed it. Again. Good lord the bitching and moaning crowd is exhausting.

I would respectively disagree. The art is a weak point on this game. I think if it was released 5 years ago, maybe I'd say he killed it. But the bar continues to be raised in regards to artwork across all new games.

I think my issue with Stern is using one artist for the majority of their games. I do believe ZY is super talented and a good choice for an artist if you only had one to work with as his work is very dynamic. But I don't think his style matches Godzilla.

That is not bitching or moaning...just an opinion.
