Mad Pinball, Can’t recommend him enough.

Yes, Rob is awesome! Wouldn’t hesitate to buy from him again.

I'd recommend Zach Meny at flipnout. Got my Pro from him, msrp with free shipping.

I wonder if you can even get on the August '22 third Premium run if placing a new order at this point though, or if those slots are full already with many distributors. Make sure the distributor you choose is straight with you about their allotment they expect and current orders. Zach will be straightforward for sure.

3M double sided tape. I bumped the figure back and forth to test it wouldn't come loose and it's solid.

Where does one obtain such a mod?

Hello club! I've not yet received my LE but I'm doing a stream from Lynn's Arcade this eve on the premium (0.85 installed!). Might be of interest for all the folks waiting. https://twitch.tv/dri374 is the place and 6PM PST is the time.

Rooooaaarrr!

I did. Just the right one.

Just a one off I made for myself. I’m going to do a how to thread that will link to parts needed.

Hit the super secret shot last night. Behind the upper flipper then straight to the scoop.

Spoiler alert

Exactly!

Come on man!!

Wow what a great game this is. I cannot stop playing that thing. The 0.85 update is impressive. So much fine tuning and really thought through adaptions already. Optimizing saucer attack and introducing Wallop ball saver is just great.

I LOVE going for double saucer attack with an alley pass. So rewarding. I love going for super trains. I love tesla strike. The risk/reward thinking is over the top on Godzilla. Flow is unbelievable. I dont really know what to critisize... such an outstanding masterpiece

I am really excited for software updates. What about oxygen destroyer? So much to come yet already crazy impressive

Did you have any issues when clicking on premium code and it showing as LE code on stern site...are they the same?

Thanks

They're the same. Stern LE is just a Premium with cosmetic upgrades.

The only time in recent memory when an LE was physically different in code-managed toys than a Premium and had specific code for it alone was on JJP's GnR that got a physical COMA lock on the CEs (what JJP calls an LE) and the LEs (what JJP calls a Premium) did not.

I have to give another vote for wizardmod. I am digging the artblades big time.

Is this the bank people are referring to?

The Godzilla power ups that’d e mentioned all over the screen aren’t implemented yet, a handful of minor characters on the playfield art are nowhere to be found and as you mentioned the Oxygen Destroyer is currently MIA.

.85 added a lot of cool stuff (most importantly the Wallop function…now that lane serves a purpose), I can’t wait to see what they add from here.

This is a long shot, but it’d be cool for some call out variation similar to AFM when you travel city to city. Could we get some over the top English/French call outs (maybe one female announcer for one of the cities?).

The current announcer is fine for a majority of it, but it wouldn’t hurt to have more variety and remind you what city you’re in.

Am I the only one who thinks the “shoot the ramps” and “shoot the scoop” callouts sound like Danny Devito?!

That's the one.

If it was Devito it would be ok, but that looney tunes guy can be a little too much, “Give that bucket of bowlts a knuckle samdwich”

Once pinball browser can modify this I might change those callouts. Selfishly I want an asian accent yelling godzirra.

Ha!!!

Sounds more like Joe DeRita from the Three Stooges to me with a dash of Elmer Fudd.

Mothra topper came today courtesy of Mondo! This is just a mock up, I'll secure it more firmly and arrange the lights more artfully but I am lovin' it!

I just installed a knocker but it’s not getting triggered when a shoot again happens.

Not sure if it’s code related

Thanks

Yessss, I’d be happy if every one of that guys callouts were replaced by an Asian accent

Yet, in an odd way, there is this weird satisfaction of bad callouts done just like the bad dubs done on the movies - they are awful. Somehow it all works.

Ahhh.. no it doesn't., not on this game anyway.

The crappy fake NY accent callouts need to go.

Danny Devito would be a huge improvement.

As someone mentioned, if they could do different accents for the different cities it would help immensely. And NY would be my least played city...

Have to agree that the NY guy needs to be changed for something else.

I think it would be cool if the destruction jackpot multiplied if you hit it consecutively. Double destruction jackpot and so on. This game is really moving on nicely can't wait to see more.

Pinballmonkey - If I remember correctly, go into the settings - look for service settings and I think you either have to change the numbers or enable the physical knocker (and I may be getting this confused with American Pinball machines).

This is a seat of the pants guess but try:

Knocker Volume Adj Number:
#44

Q24 Option Adj Number:
#57

You may want to shoot Stern a quick email or call them as well if this doesn't work.

Good luck and let us know if that did the trick. I added a shaker motor but haven't added a real knocker for Godzilla yet.

Updated: When you say SHOOT AGAIN - The knocker to me indicates you have won a free game. I apologize but I haven't heard it for just SHOOT AGAIN in terms of same player - getting an extra ball, if that is what you are asking.

Just picked up a Pro tonight. Are there any general recommendations for setup and coil strengths to set thr game up at? Mine plays pretty good out of the box but I feel like it could use some fine tuning especially with the manual plunger as it is difficult to dial in that skill shot.

Ahh you're right.. I was just excited to install the knocker and wanted to hear some knocking . I like to hear the knocker twice on GC and for every high score, achievements etc.. I get a chuckle when it scares people playing my games

I also installed the shaker on godzilla and makes a huge difference.. I set it to Long vs max for now. So far, my only stern with a shaker and now contemplating on which next game gets it.. either SW or ST.

I like the NY accent guy. It's Bender from Futurama.

The art blades look awesome. Can’t wait for mine to arrive plus my Godzilla pro.

Lynn’s arcade is a dope place to pinball

Got my premium today. Question. Anyone else have trouble getting the playfield back down into place after lifting it? I can take a pic later but basically when i push it all the way back on the rails it still is off by about a mm with the apron hooks and the two holes. I have to go under the playfield and push the handles to get it to go in. Anyone else?

Used the same but I pulled mine apart. I couldn’t get him standing.

Use the wet method if you haven’t done it before. I’ve put them on like 8 machines and it take 5 minutes and always comes out great!

Mine is tight and so is the glass but everything eventually goes where it needs to..

Is there any packing foam still stuck on the back?

I use Rapid Tac on my installs. Works great and promotes adhesion when dries.

I was working on my IM and my ass kept hitting the left GZ flipper next too it. Finally my GZ said "Maybe you should find another form of amusement".

have you checked that your machine is square? it shouldn't be hard to lift the playfield

Do you remove the entire playfield when installing?

Playing .85 last night and found a bug and wondered if anyone has seen it.
-
In Tokyo ball one I defeated a kaiju and during same ball was awarded “light battle” as a maser cannon award. Battle was lit at scoop, but when shooting the scoop it would show part of the select battle animation, but would then just kick out
the ball without allowing selection.
-
This happened throughout the rest of the game, shot scoop 4-5x.

I’m going to try to recreate it today to see if it’s specific to the maser cannon award.

Probably has to do with the fact that you can’t play a tier 2 mode in Tokyo.
