Still early 0.78 code. Let's hope they prioritized the functionality over the aesthetics and they will get to this in future releases.

I believe it was mentioned it raises and lowers based on whether lock is lit. The bottom two floors are either straight through or into the physical lock. The top two floors either divert to opposite of shooting flipper or back to shooting flipper.

See, Robert from Deeproot was on to something with his PinPod.

I am hoping July is the THIRD run since I am in on a SECOND run which was planned for early 2022. I think some people are still waiting on second run Mando Premiums.

I have talked with him and know that some people on here have had games delivered from him already. Yes he is new but he is officially listed as a Stern distributor. There was another thread where someone called him out that he wasn't listed on Stern's site and he had it quickly resolved with Stern.

Interesting. Both time that I "emailed" them through their website for tech support, Pablo returned my request within an hour. First time was a faulting Walking Dead light board and the most recent was a broken lock down bar latch for my AIQ.

Just got the call that my Godzilla Premium is ready to be shipped! Unfortunately we will be on Spring Break next week so I have to delay shipment a week. Dang kids and their desire to go to Universal Studios.

Happy to be part of the club finally. Would have been here a week ago if it weren't for me having to delay the shipment due to our family spring break vacation. Kids....

I have played a handful of games on my new Godzilla and the only "big" thing I see on my Godzilla that doesn't seem right is the "MagnaGrab". When it is lit from the right inlane and I hit it with a good strength shot, it just bounces off the magnet and doesn't catch. It definitely registers because the MagnaGrab light goes out. Occasionally, I do see it catch the ball with softer or glancing blows. Everything else about the magnet seems to be working like the Destruction Jackpot and swinging the ball to the upper flipper.

Anyone else experience this? Is there something that I am missing? I see there are two adjustments in the Game menu for the magnet but unsure of what each does.

Thanks! I searched on "Magna" in this forum and saw some people experiencing it but mine rarely catches unless it is more of a glancing blow. I never saw a resolution and I guess this is why... there may not be one. That's kind of a bummer but compared to some others problems, I guess I will just be happy that's all I am fighting with.

I played more this morning and on mine it rarely catches it. Even glancing blows aren’t always caught. I would say 1 out of 10 get caught. I have seen video streams where it works way better for others. Luckily that magna grab isn’t a huge component of game play like destruction jackpot.

I’ll check that but it works perfectly catching it for destruction jackpot and flipping it to the left ramp on building through shots. Just not reliable on the direct magna grab shots.

With that said, I will check the wiring and connections.

Mine is a 3/31 build and it didn't show signs of warping as I rarely have rejects from anywhere that go SDTM. However, all this talk made me check it with a straight edge. Luckily, playfield seems very flat with the straight edge so no warping here.

I am probably picking nits now, but does anyone have inconsistent feeds to the upper flipper when you hit either the big loop or the heat ray center spinner shot? I watched enough streams where most machines will consistently feed just right of the upper flipper so you can make a big loop shot. The ball goes around, hugs the left wall of the left ramp shot and feeds right next to the upper flipper. On mine, a smaller percentage of shots will bounce away from the upper flipper making it hard for the flipper to reach it and make the big loop shot. I took this slow motion video and it seems that sometimes when the ball feeds from the big loop/center spinner shot, it slams into the left wall of the left ramp shot and rattles around a bit. This rattling sometimes makes it not hug that left wall and deflect away from the upper flipper.

I may be picking nits, but surely there is something that I can adjust, just not sure where to start. I was thinking the end of where the big loop/center spinner feeds the left ramp lane. It would seem that if it fed it on a more downward trajectory, it would hug the wall more easily.

Despite all of this, game plays great. Was able to rack up a high score of 1.8B in a week of ownership.

Well, I just played after adjusting level a little bit more to the left and it is better. The Godzilla multiball release is also a tad better now too. I just put up my highest score so I think I will leave it as is. This game is seriously awesome. Love the risk/reward aspect of destroying cities.

Some of my best games were after a terrible first ball. With the number of extra balls that you can get in this game, 1 ball could end up being insignificant in the grand scheme.

In someone else’s defense, that isn’t exactly what was said.

Extra balls aren't really that hard to get if you focus on them. The following can be reasonably easy:
3 Saucers destroyed
10 Jet fighters destroyed
2 Kaiju battles won

Some of my best games were with a lousy first ball.

Yes, it is. Something I always try to collect.

You can file a tickeet with Stern on their website. The opto for my Building VUK was acting flaky (sometimes not recognizing the ball). I had a spare opto pair at home to try. Once I confirmed that was a problem, I filed a ticket with Stern on 6/1. The next day, they confirmed they would be sending a replacement. The package is expected to arrive via UPS tomorrow on 6/8. One week turnaround.

You can also find them for order on pinball life and Marco. They are about $10 for the receiver and $10 for the transmitter.

Also note that when you lift and reseat the playfield, you can misalign it. The playfield can move a bit left and right since the slot for the hooks is bigger than the hooks themselves. Every time I lift the playfield, I ensure it is such that the shooter rod is centered. Just a little bit off makes a difference.

Mine does that on .96. Isn’t this by design? Switch hits build up to attack bridge being lit. I think it is just showing that progress.

Coinboxes not secured must be the latest thing. I have received a few NIB Sterns in last 6 months and none of them were secured. Some had the clip in there but not secured and others had no sign of the clip altogether.

Very cool. Looks like the STL file is requiring to request access (not a public share).

Edit: Link has been fixed.
