Quoted from CashMoney:No. In fact, every distro I've ever ordered a NIB Stern with always has free shipping.
Dealer I bought it from also charged shipping, but he said they bought it from another dealer? So guess they're getting it shipped from them... No clue
Quoted from JohnTTwo:Do all distros charge shipping? Wondering if my distro charged me but stern usually covers it.
Should be free shipping for all NIB Stern Machines.
Unless shipped and reshipped!
With the price hikes shipping and taxes should be included in the price. Better hope you get a 1st run machine or you will be waiting for Stern to ship out the next shiny new thing coming out near January-February. Thus joining the back order list.
I'm very excited! Reserved my premium the day after announcement, should be in the first run from my distributor.
Quoted from tdiddy:Kidforce collectables....... GO GO Godzilla !!!

How did you like the gameplay?
Quoted from Budman:How did you like the gameplay?
It fun.... super smooth, outlines are pretty for giving unlike avengers. Should be a home run again
Quoted from Gritty:Is $12,500 from a distro now a reasonable price for an LE? I missed the boat on this one.
Plus shipping
Why would anyone pay more than MSRP after the fact? Be informed. Pay MRSP or less. Get free shipping and be done. Otherwise wait 6 to 18 months.

At this point if he wants an LE at MSRP its not happening, in 6 to 18 months maybe. If it was me I would sit tight and wait to see if a used one popped up for sale, only problem with that is shipping with STI is pushing $700 for a single game now.

Exactly. And shipping will be going up, and the damage risk is too much for me
Quoted from Gov:Got mine today. Extremely fun layout and it shoots great. Artwork is stunning in person. The magnet gets hot AF tho. Anybody else notice this?[quoted image][quoted image]
Hmmm hot magnet…. That doesn’t seem right.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Hmmm hot magnet…. That doesn’t seem right.
Could be normal, electromagnets do get hot. But I Remember XMLE magnet went crazy and fried the Aux board.

Yes, I guess after a lot of action I could see it heating up.

Art looks killer!
Played the pro this afternoon, Elwin is 4 for 4. I like it more than JP and AIQ already, time will tell if I like it more than IMDN, which is one of my favorites.
Want to play the premium first before investing in one, but the pro gives off a great first impression. Amazing wireforms and shots all over. Best theme integration on a LCD Stern since Batman 66. Well done Stern and Elwin!

Sounds like a fan mod opportunity to me.

We were fortunate enough to get in a couple of games on a pro throughout the day at the York show, and this game is GREAT!
The shots are very smooth, and satisfying to make. The wireforms criss-crossing across the playfield are a treat. The magnet on the LH side feeding the top flipper for a chance to shoot the orbit as many times as you can is super fun. The pop bumper on the RH side can really jazz up a ball for the better or worse, and I dig that!
The artwork looks way better standing in front of it than it does in pictures. The soundtrack and call outs fit the theme perfectly.
Anyone that may be on the fence about which one to get will not be disappointed in a pro at all. Yes the additional toys may be nice, but this is the best damn pro I've played so far. If I were a buyer I'd pick up a pro in a heartbeat! It's a very balanced game and extremely fun to play.
A Godzilla pro + shaker motor = FUN!!

This is where I am at. I already like it more than AIQ and JP and I can see eventually liking it more than Maiden but time will tell there. It is going to be a keeper I think though. Joining Deadpool and Maiden as the two being bolted to the floor for me.
Quoted from SimplePin:Should be free shipping for all NIB Stern Machines.

That's only how the distributor is pricing your complete package...
Games dropped shipped from Stern have to have shipping paid by someone... hidden or not in your pricing you're paying for it 
Games the distros have in hand of course they will charge based on whatever they - but they paid shipping to get the game to them too. So no free rides.
Quoted from hisokajp:played quite a bit of the Pro and really like it. I am surprised the code is "only" at v0.76 at this point but at least with the internet connection it will update easily
Where in WA did you find one?
Is this the most love a game has received by pinside ever upon reveal and now hands on? Art aside, which is subjective, I don’t recall a game getting so much positivity, ever on here?
Can’t wait to get my LE. I’m intentionally not playing the pro until it arrives. I know it’s going to be awesome from the reveal video.

Nice Kemper floor model 
I run a recording studio and got my rack version in 2014. Had some problems with it last year, and they fixed it for me for free. Awesome company.

I actually have the toaster model. That is the foot controller for it. Nice eye tho 
I had a rack mount and traded for the toaster since I just use it for practice now a days as I am no longer in a band. Love it tho.

Nothing has ever been close to this universally lauded here. Not even CGC remaking MM was like this.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:Where in WA did you find one?
There's a Pro in hisokajp collection so I assume he got it from a distributor.
Quoted from Methos:Sure it was. Hype hype Kaneda hype hype and more hype. "Best game ever made" and "better than any B/W" and "best launch ever".....etc.
He didn’t ask anything about hype. He asked about the most universal love being reported by those actually playing a game and reporting back here. Two hugely different concepts.
