That Giant MOTHRA reminds me of the hands on Groot from My Guardians of the galaxy premium. I had to remove the hands because they were blocking my view!

No disrespect for your mod but that covers a lot. I would go crazy not being able to see the in and outer lanes and target in a game that moves this fast in those areas.

Same place I put my Mothra but I put him in the microwave first and it turned out great(; It cuts out most of the line of sight to the yellow flasher which I felt was a little harsh on the eye anyway, but you still get the effects of the flash from under his wings which looks cool.

I went with a slightly larger Mothra.

sheesh. you'd think i personally came and crapped on all your machines with the downvotes and negativity. as i said, perspective makes it look like it's blocking off the views you are all talking about.

got a chuckle out of me

That’s too small. I can still see parts of the left side of the playfield.

Where did you get that one from?

I found the 3 inch figures work best for modding, the 6 inch inch ones are just too big. Here’s a pic of a Jet Jag I installed and replaced my Mothra. Even the 3 inch Mothra barely fit where the plastic was previously

i think you should put him down by the flippers for tommy mode

Please don't forget to add this in your machines for that Feel-Like-I-Am-Underneath-Godzilla sensation.

true story, i have this in my car...

Oh no! We think we see a few "potential" design and fit issues (of course, we cannot validate this without a set in hand). Having fine-tuned our models over years, and having put a significant effort into making the PinWoofer original 3D printed designs work flawlessly over 100% of the Spike titles, trims (Pro/Premuim/LE) as well as being fit-compatible with all of the speaker light kits out there, you might expect some challenges but again, I cannot say for sure. If I am wrong, please forgive me.

Thanks for your time and have a great day!

Yeah, that happens sometimes. Facebook too. Just realize that there is nothing that you can respond with that will end it or convince them of anything. Best to ignore it. Momma always said that ignorance is the best medicine in these situations. Now go play your Godzilla and forget about it!

Looking for some input from people who have Godzilla and Iron Maiden....

So Ive had my godzilla for a while now and had it dialed in to how I thought it played pretty well. Last night I went ahead and increased the pitch from about 6.5 to 6.7 and definitely liked the faster speed.
I got my maiden a couple weeks ago and have been really enjoying it. Specifically I love how smooth and fast the loops are. Like when I hold the left flipper up and nail those loops they just fly smooth and fast and i really dont have much time at all to think about the next loop shot.

Going back to godzilla the loops feel kind of slow and somewhat clunky in comparison. I can get a bunch in a row, but it feels like sometimes it barely makes it up and around the loop and ive got plenty of time to line up the next shot.

Ive never had any issues with stdm for the multiball, and my magnet has always dropped in a good spot.

What im trying to ask is, for those of you who have both or played both, do your godzilla loops feel fast and smooth like maiden? Do I have more fine tuning/leveling to do? Or is godzilla just a different type of loop?
Ive got a good digital level, and im gonna keep messing with it. Just curious how smooth I can anticipate to get it.

Loops do not shoot the same on each of these games. Your GZ is playing properly. GZ different type of loop. Sounds like your game is dialed. Put the level away and play!

Im perfectly happy with that response

For those folks that have the bank mod, what tool are you using to trim Godzilla’s elbow?

If you painted him, what did you do about the back spikes? Some of the inside areas of the spikes look tough to reach.

I literally got mine in the mail less than an hour ago. I thought someone said you can use a file or dremel or exacto knife (not too confident about THAT one) for the elbow.

Nobody is gonna see the back of him. In fact, I'm not painting him at all, that looks pretty close to the color he's supposed to be. I understand people are painting him to look more like he is on the playfield and backglass, but to me it looks silly for him to be that bright green. The pf and backglass are more a comic/cartoon version of him, whereas the bank isnt.....

Just my 2 cents worth, which probably ain't even worth that.

I have the train cars and the fire leds on the way too - damn cool looking mod. Hope I get my game in March lol

Ordered this to make as a topper. Will go with RGB, or green LEDs. I have the Neca movie poster Godzilla in the game so decided to go with this 1954 Godzilla.

That one is perfect! If you have time can you find a link or note as to the exact product description (size, brand, etc)? I looked all over for small Mothras and this is the best one I've seen.

I used this Dremel cut off wheel but any cut off wheel will do. I didn't sand off the edges though- wish I had.

Is that your personal collection of GZ stuff in the background …

I have my game maxed out on the leg levelers and it's sitting at 8 degrees. That's how I know our league/tournament games are going to be set up, so that's what I play on (hell, they might even end up with 2x4's under the back legs). I see some massive scores and I wonder if ya'll are that much better than me or if you're just at a much lower slant, as I've yet to see a single other person say this is how they are set up to play.

I think it's the left ramp/subway shot that introduces some clunky-ness on GZ's loop as the ball passes that opening and hits the side rail, there is no equivalent on Maiden, but maybe it is something else. Either way, yeah, no doubt Maiden's loops are smooth as hell in comparison.

I haven't managed to get more than 5 loops in a row on GZ. It's not like GZ's is bad, it feels smooth enough the first couple shots generally, but invariably it gets clunky and throws off my next shots on the 3-5 loops hit range on my Pro.

i've yet to see anyone say > 7deg...that's pretty steep. most seem to be 6.5-6.9

I also much prefer a steep pitch and dislike floaty playing games. I have never setup a game at 6.5 in my life. I would usually setup my Stern games around 7.3, but this did not work for me for GZ. The game was just brutal. Loops were difficult, ramps were difficult, sdtm from the building, out the right outlane from a mecha shot, etc. I bumped it down to 6.8-6.9 and it's still fast and difficult, but more fair. My best scores are around 1bil now. Just my personal experience.

I've been playing at 7.1° and feels okay to me. When I first set it up, prior to tinkering with some leveling, I noticed I was at 7.2°, which also felt fine, just not level at that time.
At 7.1° it doesn't feel too fast to me, and on my game, I don't feel like I get any cheap drains. Still a tough game when the ball starts whizzing around, for sure... Interestingly, when I look at my leg levelers, for whatever reason they're not as jacked up as some of my other Stern games, which measure out at 7.0°. That's been a real head scratcher for me, haha.
Much like above, I also don't care for a floaty game and usually prefer my games somewhat steep. Maybe at some point though I may bring the levelers down and try 6.8° and just see how it plays...

RE: Bridge plastic kit from Stern

Do you have to contact someone at Stern to get kit or to be placed on wait list for kit?

Or

Do they send kit to every Premium and LE owner who has registered their machine?

Wife says size matters so I went with a slightly larger Mothra from Amazon. In person it looks awesome and doesn’t block the right scoop.

I wonder if they considered including Mothra wings that unfold sort of like the blinders in Tommy as part of the design for this game!

No I just pulled a screenshot from a YouTube video. I wish it was.

Didn't check the thread for a little bit. 576 unread posts

This'll take a while

quick catchup: any modifications to your table is cheating, mothra should take up at least 75% of the playfield, decrease your auto-plunge strength, and this may be the best game stern's ever made

I went to my purchases on eBay and unfortunately it says the seller has no more, but here was the description and it’s 4.5in wingspan:
BANDAI Gashapon HG 1992 MOTHRA Mini Figure Godzilla Chronicle Series 2

Already been discussed multiple times, just go back an re read the thread.

Just installed this LED backbox kit from Cointaker. Pretty good I think...

https://cointaker.com/products/stern-led-backbox-kit

I have one for guardians and love it. Too bad their is not one for Godzilla pro

Cool. Regular or deluxe? Chris makes great ones. I'm waiting on mine.

That's interesting. I thought that Chris made them custom for each game.

Do the flashers go off the whole game? I thought these were interactive?

Just read deluxe on the video. Answered my question.

I was thinking of lermods one. I didn’t know Chris did them. I don’t see it on their site.

I noticed that also on Godzilla. AIQ flippers feel way stronger, especially the upper flipper compared to Godzilla. On AIQ I have no problem hitting the right ramp. Feels like a struggle on Godzilla.
