My LE #910 was shipped with a euro plug, glad I have plenty of Sterns laying around.

Quoted from rai:

Awesome!
Mine is shipping out today!
Great to have a new experience. I have got a few ‘old’ games last like JP and SW that had been out a while before I got them so they were more completed code-wise. But nothing like getting a real fresh take like Godzilla with a very unique layout.

I don't want to over sell it, but I swear last night Godzilla gave me the same feels that I had back in the 90s when a new B/W pin would should up at the arcade. I could not stop smiling... and then when I started playing with the Japanese voice I could not stop smiling even more.

The shots, the ramps are so balanced, and the flow feels absolutely perfect, but then there are those interactions to vary the rhythm and give you so many goals. That Mecha system with the spinning toy, the launching of the ball into the monster capturing it with its belly, and that building man... that building is so freaking cool.

It's just pure fun - the best kind of pinball.

#1053 2 years ago
Quoted from J85M:

From someone who already has their game or played it already, what is the lockbar action button used for? Charging your heat ray? Selecting allies, cities and battles? Thank you

Yes to all above

Heat ray… activating alley add a ball…
Scoop selections

#1054 2 years ago

The driver did not take down any power lines!

Quoted from Concretehardt:

I’m not a great player because sometimes my left hand doesn’t do what I tell it to do

Wait, back this up. Is that like delayed signal to your hand, or your hand refuses and has its own ideas/social life, like alien-hand syndrome?

#1056 2 years ago
Quoted from Flipstream:

Selecting cities, selecting Kaiju battles, using the heat-ray, and the Anguirus ally add-a-ball.

Also set up to start the game from the factory. I hate that function (although it's GREAT for location), so I changed it immediately.

#1057 2 years ago

I got my LE in today, and it's not surprising, but Stern's QC is still garbage. First shot to the right ramp, ball immediately is stuck against the side of the building. I tried going through the test mode for the building, and that doesn't fix it.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea on how to fix it?

To top it off, when I removed the glass, it isn't beveled and it sliced my finger open. Go Stern! (Why do I keep supporting this company, ugh...)

#1058 2 years ago

For those that have/own LEs or played premiums, how well does backhanding the Mechagodzilla spinner work? It's a pretty reliable shot on the Pro, and I'm wondering if the easier to reach targets is a tradeoff for spinner backhands due to the ramp.

#1059 2 years ago

Is there a way to start the game in any other city beside Tokyo?

#1060 2 years ago

In the club ...Did Zilla ever take down a 737 ?

#1061 2 years ago
Quoted from NightTrain:

Maybe in the game settings, nothing listed in the manual. Any particular reason for the change? There doesn't seem to be any difference between the cities in the code so far.

#1062 2 years ago

Everyone setting at 6.5 degrees?

#1063 2 years ago

Had a great time with the Stern crew at Logan's Arcade for their Godzilla party!

Anyone get their LE that ordered from Classic Gamerooms yet? Haven't even gotten a shipping notification yet.

I’m not able to backhand the shot, I’m at 6.8 for pitch.

#1066 2 years ago
Quoted from Indusguys:

I’m not able to backhand the shot, I’m at 6.8 for pitch.

That's a bummer since missing Mecha/Scoop shots from the left flipper can be super dangerous. Is it the ramp causing rejects?

#1067 2 years ago
Quoted from manadams:

I was disappointed to see them selling one on Facebook marketplace for $12.5k. I guess I’d rather the distributors make the money than flippers, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Quoted from Flipstream:

Confirming that you absolutely can backhand that shot (and with good speed) at 6.5

#1070 2 years ago
Quoted from Indusguys:

You can backhand it. Have to catch it and do so from a stop, though.

#1071 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Wait, back this up. Is that like delayed signal to your hand, or your hand refuses and has its own ideas/social life, like alien-hand syndrome?

Lol. He set a bear trap for you here. He’s talked about his issues after brain surgery for a tumor.

#1072 2 years ago
Quoted from gambit3113:

I stand corrected you can definitely backhand the shot, very satisfying shot.

Jason told me he got 10 last week and is expecting more today/soon. I don’t think automated has gotten theirs either for what it’s worth.

Quoted from joetechbob:

Last night 7-10

#1075 2 years ago

My LE should be here Tuesday. Ordered from FUN game room in Mesquite TX.

#1076 2 years ago
Quoted from gambit3113:

No, I know about the brain surgery stuff. I'm just wondering if it slowed down his responses or gave him Alien Hand syndrome where the hand gets a mind of its own.

#1077 2 years ago

Wow, it's good. To me, the shots feel easier than any other Elwins (not so tight), but wow it's fast (reminds of of Tron a little bit), and the toys are sick. I'm about 25 games in, learning the rules on the fly, but stacking Kaiju fight with one of the multiballs is a good way to score! 850M is my top score so far. Not a 30 minute game by any means, feels like the ball times are short.

Yes, very good point... it does not seem as punishing as JP or (especially) AIQ. It feels like it rewards skill and penalizes mistakes without feeling unfair or just "drainy" - it's all really well balanced, especially compared to Elwin's previous efforts IMHO.

PSA

So when fired up my new Zilla the building(which ships in the down position) started to make a terrible grinding sound just before it fully rose up. Long story short, I go to lift eh playfield to check it out and playfield wont slide out due to a tight wire. Turns out a node board cat 5 was stuck in the building, I couldn't get the building to go down but I was somehow able to free it and all was good.

So moral of the story, maybe lift your playfield and make sure no wires got are loose near it from shipping before you play.

Quoted from Jdfitzy-in-Aus:

Not sure if he still has them, but he had a row of classic Ballys and Sterns that was straight up pornographic. Every time he posted a pic of a game I asked him to post a pic of the classics too haha Outside of Rick and Morty, I’ve never been more stoked to get an NIB game than I am with this Godzilla premium. Trying to stay away from streams so I can take it all in as a newb. Those LEs look incredible!

993 checking in…haven’t gotten to play it yet because the kids are all over it (and they usually aren’t that interested). Thanks to Rob over at Mad Pinball, new shop but excellent service. The game did crash once while my daughter was crushing a multiball…never seen that happen before on any of my games.

LE’s everywhere. Still waiting here in CT but told Monday. Maybe I’ll get #1000.

I’m not a deep rules researcher. I’ve just never played a game where the ball can take so many different lines and end up in so many different places. Just when you think you know what to expect it peaks it’s head out from somewhere else. It’s an amazing use of the playfield.
I’ve never been this awe struck over a new game and I’ve had many NIB games in the past 10 years.
Godzilla. Over the top. Maybe the best ever? Anyone?
Honeymoon I’m sure but, it’s killer

Suggestion for a future code update.

When shooting the loop for the destruction jackpot, make it 2x or 3x if you combo it into the tail whip shot!

Look at the playfield design. No used space for 3 pop bumpers somewhere, just to “pop”. Mechagodzilla mech is so far off to the right, Elwin shared the path behind it with the shooter lane. Left ramp entrance folds back on itself instead of stretching around, saving space.
And with all the extra space, he has room for more unique shots.

I did see something about the tail whip shot being with twice the points if you combo it, as described.
Dunno if the destruction jackpot is affected though.
