Quoted from purbeast:You have a pic of the blue fire LED? I'm just trying to get a feel for the actual color it puts out.
The blue fire LEDs are at the end. One is in a lamp aiming at Mechagodzilla, another is underneath the playfield shimmering up from underneath. Some of the light shines out from underneath the playfield on the right hand side of Mechagodzilla, and you can see the effect of the lamp in the reflection off of the ball guide underneath Mechagodzilla.

Thanks for that. I know lights can come off different in videos than in person, but from the looks of it, it appears the blue fire "color" is mainly white looking with a subtle blueish hue. Would that be fairly accurate of a description?

I certainly think so. I had originally put them in my Stern Star Trek slings, with my unrealistic expectation that it would make them twinkle brilliantly, but really it just made it flicker like there was a wiring issue. Hence my desire to find a different use.
The end result was... acceptable, if uninspiring...
How did you mount your Godzilla? I have the same one and I'm getting ready to do it so any help would be appreciated.

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Need to see them in the game first. They are not cheap.
I had them in my Munsters and had more compliments on them than I can count. There's no way I'm not putting a set in Godzilla.
Quoted from allsportdvd:Can anyone recommend a good shooter plate cover?
I like the one pictured below with the shooter rod but haven’t seen it [quoted image]
I believe that one comes with the Stern Shooter rod... I don't know if it's available separately..
Quoted from Puffdanny:I had them in my Munsters and had more compliments on them than I can count. There's no way I'm not putting a set in Godzilla.
Munsters powerbladez match the playfield artwork and color palette really well
For godzilla, I'm not sure if the person that designed them ever saw the pinball machine. Seems as if someone said "hey, Go watch Godzilla 1956 and then make some art blades". I'm at least sure they didn't try a prototype in godzilla, since surely they would have put a picture up. Just doesn't go with the playfield at all IMO. Would love to see it installed though and be proved wrong.
pasted_image (resized).pngI agree, I don't think the Powerbladez match the artwork. The animation looks really cool in other pins but I need to see them installed. Suggestion to manufacturer: You should send a free set of your blades to someone to install so everyone can see what they look like. Small price to pay if you want the community to embrace them.
I purchased a 6” Godzilla figure from Ebay and I’m not diggin the look , so I’m selling it . Message me if interested

it's only available with the stern shooter rod. if you want that specifically, you'll have to find someone who bought the rod and doesn't want the plate (i've only found one, and then they bailed on the rod, so it fell through), or buy the rod, then sell it and keep the plate, unfortunately.
I've been trying to figure out how to print my own mothra decal to go on the standard plate, personally

Hope you didn't bought that trash. And if you did , it's your fault, since you don't need to put the blades in the machine to see that it doesn't fit the theme and looks a bad photoshop art made in 1998.

My partner and I have a pretty cool plate decal we could give you that features the mothra twins! Shoot me a DM and we can get you hooked up.

I installed Freddy's extension arm to the oxygen destroyer mod this past weekend. It's a quality item to accentuate one of my favorite mods for this game because it doesn't cover up any of the artwork, and I'm OCD when it comes to having the outlines clear. Nice work, Freddy!

Thanks captain ,
Glad you like it.
Just made a few more for those who would like one.

Or send me mine first and I'll install them and take pics
Yeah the artwork on those power blades is lazy and overall looks shit, it couldn’t be more of a polar opposite to Yetis artwork, junk!
Quoted from HC2016:If anyone is interested in this 6” figure for 20 bucks shipped , message me . [quoted image]
That’s the same one I used for my game. I repainted it to better match the playfield art, though. GLWS
Ok, finally got TDiddy's signature building in to go with his bridge. All went fine, except it seems tho it just doesn't sit perfectly level. It's fairly close but. And when the ball comes out of the building on the right side, the wireform is sticking up a tad so the ball kind of "hops" then of course down to the left flipper. Not horrible. Just can't remember how the stock building was in relation to the wireform. I'll file it down if need be but. Just curious what TDiddy's signature building owners think? Here are some pics

I have the premium which is black legs and rails… anyone do anything like this yet?
I had a fellow pinsider inquire about my mothra paint application. Here are a couple reference pics of the finished version installed. Side note, mothra does not come with a butthole for mounting purposes, that you must do yourself.
Also couldn't help but add a couple pics of the stealthily installed goat. All hail King Elwin!

Big fan of the goat!
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Big fan of the goat!
I found that in farm toy set for five bucks at hobby lobby. Was modeled in beige, had to paint.
Been thinking about some sort of candy chrome shooter rod and matching leg bolts for my Premium (all black rails and legs). Have anyone done this? Any pics around?
Quoted from Strummy:Apologies to the people who attempted to order and received a sold out message. There was a glitch and we are still making these oxygen destroyers! The site is working correctly now.

I see you installed the Clips set of plastic protectors. I used those in other pins, was curious how you like it. Still kicking it around.
Kind of bored with the front black panel on my Godzilla topper. So I had Mr_Tantrum design me some building decals to jazz it up. Will post more photos once they are installed.

I have this but how did you remove the light and wires inside the bumper to get to the screws?
Quoted from sidesmack40:I have this but how did you remove the light and wires inside the bumper to get to the screws?
I was reading the other day that you have to desolder it then resolder it after installing the new one.
Also, where are you all getting the clear pop bumper from and is it 2 different parts that are needed? I'm getting a UFO mod shortly and may look into it.
The wires the LEDs in the bumper are soldered to a strip on the underside of the playfield. Take lots of picture, then desolder them, and you'll be able to pull the light PCB right out (make note of what holes the wires are coming out of...you'll be threading them back the same way on reassembly). Note that in my GZ LE, the PCB was glued to the body. Took a little work to get it loose to be able to remove it.
I got my clear bumper body, skirt, and base from pinball-mods.com. Take lots of picture, and be patient with reassembly. Not a difficult change if you take your time and document things, and I love the clean look with the saucer floating over the playfield
(yesterday I swapped out the bumpers in my ST:TNG for clear bodies/skirts/bases as well...order extra, since if you like the look, you'll be eyeing your other pins as well)

Note you also need to cut off part of the long stem piece as it's too long.. you'll want it to be the same length as the one you too out, and then round it off so it operates smoothly.

Good point (I had forgotten about that). In reviewing my notes, as an alternative I ended up adjusting the switch to work with the extra stem length (if you don't want to be trimming plastic)
Quoted from sidesmack40:I have this but how did you remove the light and wires inside the bumper to get to the screws?
They are just stuck or double sided taped inside of the pop bumper. Carefully just pry up a corner with a small flat headed screw driver.
