Glad I took a chance on the alien console. I'm digging it.

Quoted from ChipScott:

That looks great! Very cool!

Quoted from ToucanF16:

I’m jumping into this forum without reading the previous 1500+ posts, so please forgive me for asking this question. I just put my Godzilla Premium on order. I know it’ll ll be a while before I get it. Has someone assembled a list of must have mods for this pin?

Quoted from J85M:

Hopefully he will ship to the U.K. if so I don’t mind forwarding on a few.

Quoted from stumblor:

In the last few days I've been testing the Spike2 compatibility of my Lollypops board in my Godzilla Premium.
3 x LED/Sensor combinations:
1. Lolly LED Ring in Jazzbouche 's UFO mod, triggered by the pop switch
2. Single Lolly post light in left sling, triggered by sling switch
3. Single Lolly post light in right sling, triggered by sling switch
This leaves one port free - probably to implement sirlonzelot 's awesome backbox lighting.

Quoted from J85M:

You need to sell these as kits

Quoted from Jamesays:

for this mod do we need to buy a ufo mod seperately and then add your kit ?

Quoted from stumblor:

Been getting a lot of interest around this today, which is awesome. As a result I've been exploring the possibility of putting a kit together, which would include..
1 x Lollypops controller board (runs the LEDs and the sensors)
1 x Jazzbouche UFO mod
2 x Lolly starposts (slings)
1 x LED strip and channel for the backbox
1 x backbox bracket to mount the LED strip lighting.
All the necessary extenders, sensor cables etc
In a nutshell this would give you an interactive lit UFO, interactive sling postlights, and an interactive godzilla breath in the backbox. By 'interactive' I mean that the patterns are triggered by in game switches. You could tie the backbox atomic breath pattern to whichever switch you wanted - I've been using the bridge newton ball which works well. The Lollypops has a 'fire' pattern which I'm guessing is the same algo used by the CIRI and by the DugFreez flamin' speaker lights (its an open source algo).
The intension is to make the backbox bracket compatible with all versions (ie, whichever direction the atomic breath is pointing).
Of course, I haven't spoken directly to jazz about this yet, but he's an easy going fella. details details!

Quoted from sirlonzelot:

Sorry i don’t do that. But as I said it is easily to make.
And I have only good experience with Gabriele. Nice guy that is friendly, always helping and offer his time to implement things. Even with more input he can make things better. And it is a great board with a lot of possibilities. Next what I am planing to do is an interactive topper and shaker for tbl. All possible with his board. It’s really great that his hardware become better and better in short time.

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:

My thanks to BallyKISS1978 for the heads up about the Ghidorah that's part of a Mezco set. I found a Ghidorah from the set on eBay, which was a nice find. Fits well... Though I did have to pull its left wing down just a bit to get it under the glass. Still...!
[quoted image]
I was even able to keep the tails on!
Hedorah, on the other hand... That's gonna bea project.

Quoted from delt31:

Just bought one - I liked the way it looks and we need more Ghidorah especially on LE.

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:

Okay, I know this isn't necessarily regarded as a favored product due to its price point, but this is my GZ LE with Lighted Pinball Mods' hologram topper... (The "fan" effect in the video is absent in person, and is only seen here due to the frame rate of the video recording.)

This was originally intended for a Star Trek Pro, but the room where that pin now resides doesn't have enough clearance for a topper, so I decided to use it for GZ. Went to YouTube, downloaded about ~19 clips, about ~15 of them were good enough to keep after conversion. It cycles through them in order. I'm only showing one clip here, but you get the idea.
(Not a lot of 3D renders of Showa era GZ... at least not that I could find. Most was Legendary trilogy.)

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:

Very cool, but very pricey. Wow.

Quoted from atg1469:

So I have some external spot lights that I want to integrate into the topper I’m working on but I can not figure out a way to power them so they turn on/off with the game. Does anyone have any suggestions?!
Here’s a link to the spotlights I’m using in case it helps: amazon.com link »

Quoted from awesome1:

Tap into the game's power supply (like speaker lights do) or put them both on a power strip and turn them on together.

Quoted from atg1469:

If you use the inside service outlet anything plugged in there stays on all the time unless there’s a control board attached to the mod, so I don’t see that working unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re suggesting. I could put them on a power strip too but that defeats the purpose of what I’m trying to do. In addition to them turning on/off automatically, I also want to hide the wires and having them run down the back to a power strip isn’t the cleanest look imo.

Quoted from J85M:

Has anyone lit Mecha’s eyes on a Prem/LE?

Quoted from docquest:

The dollar bill validator plug is in the backbox. Its 120vac like the service outlet but it's only active when the game us turned on. This is what the speaker light kits from Doug use as a power source.

Quoted from Flipado:

Hi guys,
Do you know how long it takes to get a speakerlightkit for a building in flame?
It’s been 3months of no show and the support teams is rather rude and unfriendly… I suppose they face a high demand but they are not really caring of customers.

Quoted from Mattyk:

Yeah he kind of comes off as an ass with his not wanting to be bothered by people asking when they’ll receive their order. I’ve been waiting a few months.

Quoted from izzy:

4 months for me.

Quoted from OSUBuckeye98:

I mean to be fair, Doug set the expectations and I saw this on his site when I ordered the kit. They look awesome and can’t wait to get them, but I read this and knew what I was signing up for. I mean Stern and some distributors are not even that upfront getting a pin.
To put that up on his site makes me wonder how many times he was answering the same question.
[quoted image]

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:

Yeah, a tad bit abrasive. Lol.

Quoted from OSUBuckeye98:

Yeah, but crystal clear and setting expectations. I will take that 99.99% in life.

Quoted from Mattyk:

But at some point though there has to be a reasonable timeframe when orders will be fulfilled. I mean, a month or two I think is the limit for reasonable. When orders were placed 4 months ago and not fulfilled that’s a bit crazy especially given the items were paid in full at time of order. Talk about floating money. People shouldn’t have to be worried about asking him for an update with the fear of having their order cancelled after 4 months has gone by

Quoted from OSUBuckeye98:

You are free to buy a different product. I think the flaming frames are awesome, and I’ll wait

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:The flamin’ flames can be build DIY for about $30, less if you have some of the materials already. And you have to program an Arduino, but that’s not terribly hard to learn (YMMV) obviously.

Quoted from JayLar:

That letter makes me stay away from his products.

Quoted from RTS:

People have a high tolerance for poor customer service.
Anyone whoever makes a comparable product would steal his customers with minimal effort.
He's not helping himself or developing customer loyalty by having attitude.

Quoted from DugFreez:

Wow! It seems the prices are dropping. You said $40 earlier. Didn't you say you were going to make your own a couple of weeks ago? Where are they? I look forward to seeing how far $30 goes.

Why would you have an issue with buying from me because of me letting customers know in advance what to expect when currently ordering this light kit type? Any other products that are IN STOCK on my website are shipped within 0ish - 3ish days. Have you seen anyone posting about how poor my products, service or support is with anything besides people being impatient about these flaming light kits? I've had my website and selling the Speaker Light Kits by myself since 2014....where are all of the threads and posts complaining about how poor my products are, how slow my filling of orders are or how I am hard to contact when needing help or support with any of my products? They aren't there because I take care of business and stand behind my products.

Again, where is the poor customer service? It's just me letting people know where things stand with this product BEFORE THEY ORDER. The only claims of customer support issues seem like they are from folks that can't read or comprehend what has been clearly stated before they placed their order, but I actually suspect most of the noise is just from pot stirrers that have never placed an order with me.
If a person can't wait patiently, without asking about a delivery date, it's best for them to not order these MAY DELAY ORDER light kits until they are listed as IN STOCK. I just don't see how letting people know that IN ADVANCE can be construed as poor custom service.
So here it is....here is what everyone contacting me about these light kits will receive:
Hello,
I see your order. I am sorry your order may be taking longer than you expected. As explained when you placed your order, I do not have a completion estimate or any updates for you. You are free to cancel your order at anytime and will be refunded the full amount minus the PayPal fees.
Thank you for your order and patience,
Doug (SpeakerLightKits.com)
...and when I get 3 e-mails from the same person...the order will be canceled. So if you feel like e-mailing and asking, you are free to do so, but if you do not want to cancel your order or have it canceled, it's best to just look at that response posted there.
I appreciate everyone's business, patience and support and I am trying my best. I expected these light kits would take a long time to make and get filled. That is why I had that large explanation when I first listed them. I guess that is not what people wanted to hear and so here come the allegations of me running a poor business and being bad at customer support. I guess lying about delivery estimates and continually pushing back delivery dates would make some folks happier, but I'm not into lying or misleading people. Sorry.
