Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons
Stern, 2015Quoted from gambit3113:It’s said somewhere (the write up in Pinball Magazine maybe?) that the powder coat matched the Mecha Godzilla art package on the LE, and was silver metallic. It looks like the METLE silver, which is really cool.
I think the powder coat choice is perfect. Im just wondering what color to do the wireforms, if i do.

Will be interesting to see in person but I would rather have black powder coat.
the game looks great especially if you like ramps, but whats the sound, animation and code like? I wasn't a fan of AIQ for this reason, even though the shots look great. I hope the code is more fun and the call outs or more like Maiden. Not sure how I feel about the Blue Oyster Cult song. The game comes off as campy from the video so having, "Godzilla" in the game seems like it would take you out of that.

Are you kidding?
Did The golden earring song “take you out” of Twilight Zone?
It’s a natural fit, no matter the “mood” of the game!!!
Quoted from kerokero:I’ll help you out. My son has his big G figure still:[quoted image]
Yes, this may be the one I had as a child. Any Googleable details? Would it fit you think?
looks great (and I was prepared to pass)
but now I am locked-in for the LE
really was not excited about the theme however it looks like a home run... not the same old tired fan layout but something new and interesting...

Yeah. Totally agree. That's an unexpected plus from Stern. Didn't figure they would add in an additional licensor on this one, but nice touch.
Quoted from thechakapakuni:Are you willing to pay “Banning Prices”
Quoted from chickenscratch:Yes, this may be the one I had as a child. Any Googleable details? Would it fit you think?
That was the Bandai figure sold in the U.S. in 2009 I believe, at least that’s the date stamped on the foot. It’s 6” tall so too big to fit on a playfield, but there are plenty of other smaller figures that would probably work.

I believe I read that you can opt out of that song in the setup.
Quoted from Doctor6:Great catch. He clearly screwed this up.
Quoted from kerokero:
What I'm curious about is why the Japanese text on the building signs are written in reverse on the Pro backglass. Did the artwork get flipped at some point without adjusting the signs, or was it intentional? (left sign "pinball" and right sign "yeti")[quoted image]
Wonder how much that will increase the value up too.

The figures from gachapon (capsule) vending machine collections would probably work. This one is about 2” tall, and...it’s green to match the artwork!

Quoted from nicoy3k:Hmm underwhelming for me... not sure about the art and the call outs... (at least for the video). Getting AIQ vibes
And your negative view about anything Stern puts out is surprising to who in this community? Suggestion for JJP fanboy: stay out of a Stern hype thread. We all know in advance nothing Stern does is to your liking, even an amazing machine like Godzilla, JJP fanboys will find fault. Lol
Quoted from nicoy3k:Zombie yeti is Uber talented but I haven’t really understood his direction for the last two games, total misses IMO.
Lol, give compliment then slam ZY in the same sentence. Yep, we really believe you think he’s really talented. Both the last 2 games are amazing art packages. (Trolls never rest do they?)
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.
Same with the key lime sculpture. Nowhere in the ballpark of TOHO Godzilla both color and shape. What is this? Barney’s cousin from Ireland?

Lior is going to make a killing on this game.
Quoted from Palmer:Lior is going to make a killing on this game.
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe Stern did this deliberately to support the secondary market & artists

The guy has owned 7 Sterns over a couple of years. How does that make him a JJP fanboy exactly?
Quoted from PilotPinball:I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan who has lived in Japan. This was my dream theme. I'm number three on the waiting list. I hate the art. There I said it. It's not Japanese at all. No moving Godzilla mech? I'm probably going to pass.
Somehow I doubt you lived in Tokyo any longer than maybe a 2 week vacation, lol. Artwork is subjective and you’re entitled to hate, but it is 3 amazing art packages. My guess is you were always going to pass and came in here to rain on everyone else’s parade. Probably another JJP shill. You guys don’t give up do you? Troll another thread…
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.
More trolling and Stern bashing. You don’t stop do you???
(INTERESTING, ALL THE DOWN VOTING IS MOSTLY BEING DONE BY THE JJP FANCLUB. YOU CHEERLEADERS CAME OUT IN FORCE TODAY! LOOOOOOOL) KEEP IT UP GIRLS, ITS A BADGE OF HONOR COMING FROM YOU!
Quoted from Palmer:The guy has owned 7 Sterns over a couple of years. How does that make him a JJP fanboy exactly?
His negative Stern comments are plentiful and he’s always on the JJP bandwagon, regardless of what he’s owned in the past, which I also doubt is true. Quite easy to list games and not really own them here on pinside.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:I am having a SERIOUSLY difficult time deciding between pro and prem for my location. That jump shot to mechaGZ and the collapsing building are killing meeeee. Faaaahhhhkkkkkk.
Go for premium, looks like the best choice
1000 Le's and still had several distros doing huge mark ups. Is this the largest number of Le's or were the more?

Man really and you call me a fanboy!
Quoted from romulusx:Man really and you call me a fanboy!
Hey Rumy ol buddy. Good to see you in a Stern thread!
Quoted from romulusx:Man really and you call me a fanboy!
You are a fanboy…but he’s like a cult leader. That or it’s Gary’s burner account.

591C0908-48BC-48A5-B6FF-01382DFF7F1A.gifIn for a premium. Still waiting on my GnR too dang it.
I recommend picking up the Criterion boxset, includes all the films 1954-1975 in one package with amazing bright complimentary art. Remastered on bluray with tons of special features. It goes on sale 50% during the Criterion sale at Barnes and Noble around the holidays.

Thanks for the DVD tip.
How long have you been waiting for GnR?
Quoted from rai:How long have you been waiting for GnR?
Since last Oct. I can't believe it.
Quoted from Allibaster:Art looks great, but I would’ve preferred something darker or maybe black/white.
I'm with you, the art looks great, but I have the original Godzilla and would have liked the art to be a little darker like it is, but hey it's Godzilla so I'm not complaining! Now bring on the mods!
Quoted from rai:How long have you been waiting for GnR?
Quoted from JLebowski:Since last Oct. I can't believe it.
Hopefully Godzilla shipments will be quicker!
Game looks freakin awesome. That building mech alone is going to be incredible - different ball paths on each level, a lock on top. Next level. Elwin still managing to bring out new ideas after 4 hits. And flow out the wazoo. Definitely lives up to the hype for now - probably exceeds it.
Im personally not a fan of the DIRECTION of the art on this theme - but thats just me. Not what was in MY head when I thought of TOHO Godzilla. But TOHO signed off on it so......
But the Yeti art itself is amazing as usual.
Can not wait to play it.
I’m excited to get my LE.
I really like most of what I’ve seen, including ZY’s art package.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Pro has been castrated this time so you don’t need the little green condom found in the far left corner of my LE.
I’m looking at the premium to go with my AIQ
People keep saying the building “collapses “?
Does it move up and down or does it actually collapse?
Thanks

Amazon has this DVD boxset, they say there is no English dub version? I think I'm ok with subtitles but do you think it's missing the English dub is a big deal?
https://www.amazon.com/GODZILLA-SHOWA-ERA-1954-1975-Criterion-Collection/dp/B07VLJ9KB6/ref=sr_1_2
English dubs are hot garbage. Watch with the original audio and english subtitles. It’s the only way to get the real deal viewing experience with any non English film.
