Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons
Stern, 2015It is a bit of a bug to me that now the new norm is buy or die. I mean starting with GnR CE I could have got one from JJP direct but was debating a few dozen minutes and it was gone.
Mando was gone seemed before they were even announced. Halloween and Ultraman didn’t show any gameplay until it was sold out mostly. Godzilla very very little gameplay on fists day and the LEs sell out in a few hours.
Quoted from bobukcat:I heard on The Pinball Show that all distributors no longer take deposits on LEs and that it's pay in advance now, that just makes it even more absurd.
Not true.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:For real, pinside is a place for people to latch onto the ONE thing they hate and never let go. It’s tiresome. Maybe the art isn’t what ya’ll you imagined. But I don’t care about your imagination haha. Shit looks fine to me, if it weren’t so similar in style and graphic layout as TMNT and AIQ I’d probably think it was amazing. It’s good work, but it’s not new work. Also, he looks more like a cactus than a watermelon c’mon…you guys blind? Anyway, game looks cool as F and I’m buying one…so are you…so everyone shut it, I think we’ve heard enuff ZY slams for one day. The guy rules, be kind.
LOL, the cactus/watermelon comment! Glad I'm not the only one and you are totally right, those of us who can will be getting one and it definitely looks cool AF

Quoted from gambit3113:Not true.
To clarify, I think The Pinball Show was actually saying that STERN is no longer taking $2K deposits from *distributors*, and they instead need full payment up front from the distributors. Whether distributors themselves require deposit vs. full payment from their *customers* is at their discretion.
Quoted from Hoteldrummer:LOL, the cactus/watermelon comment! I'm not the only one and you are totally right, those of us who can will be getting one and it definitely looks cool AF
C’mon… man…

Hahahaha, awesome
Quoted from thechakapakuni:“It would have been better if they hired Matt Frank” zombieyeti Truth hurts huh? When they do Deadpool 2 you’re hired. Meanwhile, Gary can we fix this and replace Sasquatch Yeti?
Kinda harsh, aren't ya?
You may have missed my point entirely. ZYs Godzilla looks like…a Godzilla.
Quoted from chickenscratch:C’mon… man…

Ya but you may have missed my point, to be lighthearted, have fun and take on a joke. I said shit, 5/6 hours ago that we’ve had so many iterations over the past 60+ years, why not one more. So, lighten up and refuse to join the low-T Pinside bitchfest - you may nuke this response as long as you have fun doing it

I don't know, this cactus kind of looks like Godzilla.

Mind blown… nice find. We should have a contest to find the closest looking cactus and winner gets a custom topper
Whoever keeps changing my topic title please stop it already!! I changed it to hype thread once the game was revealed.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Whoever keeps changing my topic title please stop it already!! I changed it to hype thread once the game was revealed.
Can we just rename to “Cactus vs. Watermelon: But it’s still a Godzilla” so everyone can be happy?
Quoted from kidchrisso:2K deposit with my distro for the LE
You slapped down 2k and saved a spot for an LE! You ARE the original slap save
Quoted from chickenscratch:Can we just rename to “Cactus vs. Watermelon: But it’s still a Godzilla” so everyone can be happy?
It’s definitely game hype!!
Quoted from Green-Machine:It’s definitely game hype!!
Could be THE hype thread, but will they do it?
Quoted from chickenscratch:Could be THE hype thread, but will they do it?
Don’t believe the hype thread?
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Whoever keeps changing my topic title please stop it already!! I changed it to hype thread once the game was revealed.
I thought only you could ?
And even with a change. The URL doesn't change. so-looks-like-godzilla-is-being-made
LTG : )
I have a question if anyone wants to help out. I ordered an LE and I love the title but I am confused about the pop bumper? I am not a troll and want a serious answer if I am missing something here but I dont get it. I LOVE the rest of the maching and am looking foreward to it. It does not seem like it will bounce behind due to the metal guide. I just don't see much around it
Quoted from chad:Now, for the Topper. What do you think this will be like?
It will be ...like $2000.
Quoted from chad:Now, for the Topper. What do you think this will be like?
The topper is being constructed at a top-secret STERN development facility in South East Asia. Here is a recently leaked photo:

Answered in another thread, will look like this action figure in a Watermelon for Godzillaception to come full circle. I can be arsed to PS a mock-up upon enough ego stroking requests

Off topic, but what’s the best pinball place up in the cities? I’ll be up for the weekend in a little over a week. I use the map, but interested in a locals take.
Quoted from Neal_W:Topper?? Got to be Heisei era Godzilla looking around with glowing eyes.
[quoted image]
I’m ok with this, a little BKSOR follow up
Quoted from Doctor6:Bro, anyone can read katakana. And those are reversed. The only one thats not is GO ZI RA. both pinball and yeti are blatantly mirrored. Look at the accent marks on both "hi" and "ha." They're on the left. Doesnt that seem weird to you? Since you can read Japanese?
And on the right, it says yeti... also mirrored.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Now granted, this is nitpicking as probably none of these games are going to Japan, but it definitly is an oversight from an artist that doesnt speak the language incorporation it into his artwork.
What if they released this as a topper?
[quoted image]
These images are clearer, yes all reversed. Need magnifying glass on the tiny images earlier I suppose. Lol
Quoted from kerokero:Please look again more closely. It’s definitely flipped, not written sideways.
Should normally appear like this:[quoted image]
These images are clearer than what I glanced at in your first post (shouldn’t have been looking at a tiny phone screen blurred image). Yes, all reversed.
Quoted from jimwe5t:Would be fun if the topper was 3D Godzilla kind of like BKSOR topper.
Like, not available?

S and S billards Hopkins, Tilt in mpls.

They should just include the thing already. It completes the package. Its becomes just as LE as the LE.
Quoted from c508:Pretty sure this would look awesome on top of the pin (no matter how the pin looks).
But it makes Stern’s topper prices look like a bargain.https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/165637

In case you missed it the first time. Pro priced topper. Now you really can have a $20K pin (with this on top)!

A little too big for a topper but WOW that's a nice piece of art!
Quoted from Chitownpinball:They should just include the thing already. It completes the package. Its becomes just as LE as the LE.
Agreed. LE should come with the topper for the price.

Looks like its being used as a bash toy more than to rattle around like normal pops. It has an insert pointing at it so it will be a required shot during modes and/or multiballs. It adds some chaos since it tosses the ball back on impact, and can be hit at and return balls at a variety of angles. Dont see the King Cesar lane being involved with it.

Did not see that , 
Quoted from JohnTTwo:S and S billards Hopkins, Tilt in mpls.
Oh geez, that place looks perfect. All the JJP pins I've always wanted to play, plus a whole slew of classics... and LTG on the window in neon lmao - this his place?

Yep, that is Lloyd's place.
I like that foil art.
I know there are things that can be added like armor, shaker, invisible glass but to me the foil art and the real glass backglass are what sets the LE above. Plus the art is better to me.
LOL they changed the title again.
Damn these collections are as expensive as the pins. Ordered one.
