NOPE, I take mine out, so much easier to work and the space it creates is great, and gives me more area to not fuck up art blades.

Same, it's VERY easy to pull out the playfield as well. Jack Danger on Dead Flip has a great YouTube video detailing how to pull out a spike playfield.

Made it stupid easy to install the side art and shaker motor for me.

I too would like to hear how to fix this. Anyone else with this issue?

Mine JUST started doing this this morning!

For trying to level the machine and to determine if the internal level bubble is off please try using an external level and take off the glass and level it horizontally and vertically on the playing field and see if that matches what the machine has. At least it can hopefully give you a reality check.

I don't have an answer for you on the two pinballs shooting out.

Good luck!

You're talking about this rail pictured below, right? I've had this happen since day 1. I don't see any easy adjustment to make. As frustrating as it is, I now consider it a "feature" meant to make hitting that skill shot a bit more difficult.

Mine does this a lot, hitting this staple. It never does it on auto plunge, just when I manually plunge it and especially when I’m going for a soft plunge. My guess is the shooter tip alignment is a bit off. Anyone else find a fix for this?

I thought Karl said he was using a new beta code on his last stream. I couldn’t find any obvious differences than the current code. Anyone know what changes are in the works?

Wasn't the Terror of MechaGodzilla mode new? I don't remember seeing this before, and it looked really sick.

I must have missed that! What triggers this mode?

i believe you need a super jackpot in Mecha multiball and a level 5 powerup. starts at 57 minutes of the latest IE Pinball stream.

Well done, particularly on fitting Ghidorah(!)... Is this on a Pro? Mind if I ask for a link for the Ghidorah figure?

Order this for my godzilla. Can't wait. Bigbadtoystore.com

I went back to the stream and I had shut it off right at the 56 minute mark. What a coincidence. Pretty cool mode

Anyone care to share a link to this stream that's being discussed?

Iepinball on twitch. Should be under their videos tab.

You might have to download the Twitch app and search Iepinball

Damn! Too quick Thunderbird !

Soul Gem part 2. Much more complex than TAV Soul Gem.

Yeah I really like Soul Gem in AIQ, looking forward to Terror of Mechagodzilla, but it's no gimme to get the Mechagodzilla Super Jackpot to qualify it.

Will the terror mode play as a challenge game like Cygnus on rush?

Thanks. I think it’s my shooter rod. As I spin the plunger the tip seems to be be out of round and would contact the ball slightly different depending on its rotation

No. At least you can’t now.

Doesn't look like they have added the challenge mini game yet. I think I remember Elwin saying it was going to be "different"...

Looks like you collect a super jackpot during mecha Godzilla multiball on the tailwhip shot. How do you guys hit that shot on purpose? Can it only be done with the upper flipper?

Counts via the mecha spinner too

Great to know! I’ve never been able to hit the tail whip shot on purpose

No rage combos for you!

Hot damn...and we're not even at v1.0 yet

How do you actually start terror of mecha after getting the mechagodzilla SJP?

Looks like you need to get to the level 5 power up and then the selection is to light Terror and start at the building

Darn right. Just had a great game where I got so close to getting the super jackpot. I really like this new take on soul gem. Even if you stuff up one stage you still continue through the other stages. Better get well hydrated if I ever make it to this one, seems like a mammoth of a mode.

Now if they would just fix the damn Magna Grab…

Anyone getting the IC login bleep twice since updating?

Wish they would change this altogether and make the log in game specific, would add a nice finishing touch to the IC unit in each game.

Yep

While I'm admittedly not the biggest fan of working from home (I know I'm in the minority here) - I gotta say that getting 2 games in before the workday starts is a MAJOR perk. Had a great 2nd game today after getting 3 EBs for the first time, and setting a new GC, 645M. I even tilted during the King Gidorrah battle, which could've been some massive points.

Now seeing there's new code just makes me that much more excited to get another few games in tonight!

Just got my highest score after updating to the new code. 399M. Not as good as some you guys, but I got 6 different multiballs in that game.

I’ve not jumped in on Stern Insider yet, and I bought my game from another owner who had it set up. How do I update or remove the game from his “location”

I believe the seller needs to unregister that machine from his account.

actually, they added the ability to do it from the machine in yesterday's code:

- Added the ability to unregister a machine via the Stern Insider Connected menu.
A machine must be unregister from an Insider Connected account prior to being
added to a new account. Hilighting and selecting "Yes, unregister this game."
will unregister the game from your account.

Just played Terror of Mecha. So much fun! Love the design of limited flips in multiball with stages of shots to build up jackpots followed by a frenzy to go for it all in the final stage. Before this mode I never really focused too much on whether or not I got much of a score in Mecha MB, let alone a super. Pretty great idea to tie qualification of the new mode into getting the super in Mecha MB. It's amazing that code is at .94 but has so much great stuff in it already!

Hopefully they'll add "Terror of Mechagodzilla" challenge mode at some point. Sounds like a good candidate for it.

Lifesaver! Yeah, that would make the super about 10x easier during mechagodzilla multiball. I was about to try for terror again today and save up a heat ray just for the final super jackpot, but now it should be a cinch. (then just need to get to level 5 powerup)
