New Bank Godzilla 30 dollar Mod is pretty cool. I'll give 200 dollars to whoever can animate one that shoots sparks out of mouth. LOL

I don't know about shooting sparks, but after 4 months of development, I'm getting close to revealing my Atomic Breath Godzilla Mod. If all goes to plan, hopefully I'll be up & running by the end of the month. I think many of you will be pleasantly surprised!

I placed my order on Sept 14th and just received the notification that my game will be ready for pickup on Monday! Got a stock pile of mods to get through so may need to take a week off from work to get this shit done, but I'm looking forward to digging in soon!

My first NIB game and I must say that even though I don't know what's going on half the time, this game is bonkers. I actually never played Godzilla before I bought this one, but when I saw the videos of the unique pathing routes and shots, I knew that this would be a game that I'd like. Judge Dredd is my favorite game for various reasons, and there is quite a bit of similarity between GZ and JD in terms of flow and speed. Awesome game that will keep me busy for a while.

It is that nasty grey. I repainted mine, but left the teeth, claws, and eyes the original colors.

I picked this bank. From what I can tell it is the exact same mold as the bust just with the entire body.

As long as you’re okay with a 1989 Godzilla in a game that is representative of the Showa Era of Godzilla films from 1954–1975. Yeah, I’m a Godzilla nerd. LOL!

Perfect size, though. I’m not a fan of Stern’s toy being considerably smaller than Mechagodzilla. Who’s the star of the show?

Looks like I'll be picking up my premium this weekend!

I'm just trying to make sure I'm getting everything I need to get it running smoothly, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm picking up a set of Titan rubbers based on this suggested list (https://www.titanpinball.com/kits/index.php/view/id/2002), and 6 of their shiny pinballs.

Also getting the Pinball Life shaker motor, and their headphone jack/volume control (I have a baby, so I need to adjust it).

Planning on getting the side armor (it looks really nice) and art blades, but might need to budget for those.

I think people suggested replacing the flipper coils and sleeves right out of the box, but wanted to confirm this.

Anything I'm missing?

Now that more folks have gotten their game id figure id ask again. Anyone have the ball make contact with the wire forms a lot on its way back down toward the flippers? On a fast shot mine will hit the standups by the building, and get airborne a bit and hit the wireforms on way back down.

Woo! Joined the club! My 2 distributors never got back to me, so I found a slightly less than new game not terribly far from me. It's now in the living room! While I figure out how to get it down to the basement, it gets top billing in the front room. Wife (and me, frankly) will tolerate it for about a week.

No issues so far, have installed the TDiddy building and Tesla mods. Tesla mods are a MUST have, frankly. Game looked a little empty without them. The building is such a huge upgrade too.

Still learning the rules, right now I'm trying to get to the Tank multiball. After 25 games the furthest I got was 5 tanks! I'll get it today...

my 3D printer is down, but once I bring that back to life I'll be printing some UFOs...

the auto-plunge power value can be reduced (it'll too frequently hit the area near the building at its default state), be sure to really check your left to right level, as being even a fraction off can lead to missing the upper flipper from the magnagrab, sdtm from the building more often, etc.

Got my level ready

Had similar issues with my Iron Maiden and the autoplunger. Seems like Keith really wants your machine dialed in.

The flippers get crazy weak or start sticking in the up position. Sometimes it’s very easy to tell just by looking at the stops as they are physically broken.

Just play. If the game plays fine, no worries.

Unless they stick in the up position you might not know. I like to put my finger on the button of the stop then manually raise the flipper. The button should not move or wiggle. You'll see black or brass shavings on the stop as others have said.

My flippers actually started hitting the inlane guides and causing balls to bounce off the guide rail, making ball control very difficult. It took me a while to figure it out, but the coil stops had already started to seriously divot, allowing the flippers to travel higher and higher. Sometimes the coil stops start to break apart and you'll see gold flakes accumulating in the cabinet. I replaced them with the pinballlife ones and the flippers perform much more consistently.
