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

Has stern revealed the inner art blades or shooter yet?

#10227 1 year ago

Anyone got the stern side art blades installed?

#10231 1 year ago
Quoted from Muymanwell:

love 'em. I used the wet method, worked really well. zero issues
[quoted image]

Those look pretty sweet! Think I prefer those to the ones on the LE, sets the same but that blue background just looks way better against all the red and yellow.

#10232 1 year ago
Quoted from awesome1:

Yes, I love them as well. I've done several sets now, and using the wet method literally only takes a few minutes per side even with the playfield installed.

I did my first set on a Deadpool premium then another set on a TMNT didn’t even know you could do them wet, just lined them up at the back with the bolt hole and stuck them on in one piece worked like a charm, might do it wet next time though for ease.

#10239 1 year ago

Haha am I the only idiot that lifts the playfield out.

#10247 1 year ago
Quoted from Sleal16:

I'm about to do my first sideart install on IMDN and DP this coming month and I'm too paranoid to work with the PF still in. Removing and putting it back looks easy enough.

Super easy, 3 plugs to disconnect, put the playfield up in the service position and lift it up and out.

Handy to have a second pair of hands to guide the playfield rails into the cabinet when you lift it back in.

#10291 1 year ago
Quoted from Kevlar:

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.

Quoted from allsportdvd:

Glad you offer this for sale thanks
However, anyone in Australia have this shooter lane fix? I can't pay $57 USD for shipping, with the exchange rate thats $100 shipping for a $20 part

Give Colywobbles a pm he makes these out of thin acrylic, super smooth and pretty much invisible in clear, believe this fix originated over this side of the pond and it’s been tested, bet he could hook you up.

I just posted a few apron plastics for Deadpool to NZ/Aus and it was about 11-16 GBP 1st class last week.

#16271 1 year ago

Mando had these fitted from the factory, strange they decided not to follow it on.

Just about done modding my Godzilla. What a great game. Nothing like kicking some Kaiju ass.

Hey buddy, which Godzilla replacement/mod is that in your game? Looks great!!

#16731 1 year ago
Quoted from RikeIsland:

It’s from Sleal16. I got the Godzilla and flying saucer combo.

Awesome thanks for the reply.

Quoted from pinmister:

So the Walking Dead Steve did may be a little darker than I remember, but really digging the one I found in gallery images(one in middle) from other pinsider(need to find out what prismatic color it is?). The bright green pops-but I think the emerald green just looks classy
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Did you ever find out what colour that middle image was?

#18417 1 year ago
Quoted from BrokenChair:

My tech checked my shooter rod extensively a few days like EVERYTHING. before then i got the lane fix from you (lermods) and dont get me wrong im OCD maybe im exaggerating its about 75-80% better than it definitely was; but its not perfect and im still getting crappy shoots from time to time which completely kill any chance for a skill shot; ive even had the ball rattle jump up and hit the glass upon launch lol

Colywobbles also provides the fix for people here in the U.K., reach out to him, his is likely cheaper than the one at Freddy’s.

Before I put anymore time into it, would there be much interest in a moving/collapsing bridge for the pro? That would shake and fall apart similar to the prem/le but in the pros case around the wireform.

Quoted from Willey:

Would be nice to know how many of you have a Godzilla and have not installed playfield protector on it?

I’ve played a GZ with a protector and it played like shit compared to the pro and premium I have access at mine and at a buddies.

Don’t stress about the protector and just enjoy all the fun that comes with GZ.

That is correct, Tuesday often follows Monday

#21587 10 months ago

Hopefully electronic playground drop some of their original toppers

#21678 10 months ago

Not only is that the same figure pretty much everyone has replaced in their games but it looks like it’s on the same exact plastic mount and it’s just been dropped onto the topper, that has to be cost cutting at a world class level.

#21952 10 months ago
Quoted from Kkoss24:

The topper is everything that will be taken out by people buying the complete Stumblor/Jazzbouche set with plastic tanks as a bonus .Damn cheapskates couldn’t even add the Subway/noodle bar signs though .That’s what made me cancel mine .It’s all about the signs man .

There will hopefully be a new topper in the works, I can’t say by who as I’ve been asked not to mention names but from the initial description it sounds great!

#21953 10 months ago
Quoted from pinballaddicted:

What a load of horse shit. Why would any distro cancel when they know the topper is sold out and could sell them easily?

Calm down buddy you got your topper and your happy no need to jump on others, whether that info is true or not it effects no one so breathe…. 1 2 3, breathe.

#21955 10 months ago
Quoted from pinballaddicted:

I am perfectly calm. I am happy to start sharing my opinion on all your mods from now on too. This is after all a place where people shate their opinion?

By all means if you feel the need so say anything good or bad fill your boots pal, your responses regarding the topper here would suggest your not calm or at least taking the topper stuff a little to heart, just saying.

It’s all subjective you like the Godzilla topper others don’t, hasn’t stopped Stern selling out, the bitching never does stop Stern selling out which is why complaining about the complainers is a waste of energy, there’s a reason Stern never respond to the negative stuff because it has zero effect on them and the louder the complaints/the more chat it’s free advertisement for them.

#21967 10 months ago

Any video out there yet what the Stern topper does? The official video did not really show all that much, I have got the trailer on my tv right now as I type this and they dont show the heat ray breath lighting up, would be grateful for some footage from an owner when they get theirs in hand, thank you in advance.

Quoted from acedanger:

I think stern will eventually release challenge mode for everyone if not I agree that’s f up.

They did with AIQ, gem mania was topper exclusive and it’s now available to all as of the last update I believe. Didn’t the topper goat mode for JP also get an open to all release with the last update!

Close to finally revealing the first interactive bridge for Godzilla Tōkyō Kō Renrakukyō aka Rainbow Bridge

Thought I would finally answer all the questions and PMs I've received regarding the Kaiju Battle Bridge and The Drake (Toho) building I have been working on for Godzilla Prem/LE for a while now, plus its a week before Expo so what better way to roll into Expo weekend than a reveal this weekend (Bridge) and a reveal of The Drake (Toho) building next weekend.

Bridge sculpting is about 90% done, I stripped the bridge back but will be now be adding some of the suspension cables back in the design, cleaner wrap around of the suspended car and finally a train carriage that will be crashing out from the lower right level of the right bridge side.

I wanted to go all out on the design for the bridge and the upcoming Drake (Toho) building (which will have several physical interactions/mechs on the roof and testing going well (which it is) a sculpted front and both side panels with a mix of lighting and physical interactions/mechs.

Both will be powered by Stumblor boards, allowing full interactive lighting with my main aim of complimenting the incredible Tokyo Neon mods from Davey, so the entire game looks like its a mini Tokyo diorama.

The plan for the bridge is to fully light up and interactive with several features of the game and hopefully interactive with one very cool existing mod, the bridge will have a resting light pattern, appear to explode, be hit with atomic breath, burst into flames and burn, creating a truly interactive Kaiju battle scene.

I will drop a tease for The Drake (Toho) building next weekend as I still have a lot to do on the 3d sculpting before revealing, I hope everyone gets a kick out of this crazy sh*t

Quoted from cheezywhiz:

Six months of home use. < 1000 games. Should I be expecting chips in the playfield already??
[quoted image]

To avoid this on Godzilla ensure the building is perfectly level with the playfield, this likely happened with the building being ever so slightly lower than the playfield.

#24710 5 months ago

Finally finished the Bridge design, with Godzilla so close no bridge be pristine and with Atomic King Ghidorah coming to the battlefield, I mean playfield soon, we needed a bridge that has been through a few Kaiju battles.

I also wanted to complete the Kaiju battle damage aesthetic that Davey started with his awesome Noodle Bar mod and bring that level of detail to the bridge, Drake/Toho building to fully completed that world under glass.

Atomic Battle Bridge, suspended car on the left, train carriage that’s crashed out the lower levels of the bridges right side, using the power of Stumblor, the aim is to have the bridge light up at rest, have a triggered explosion pattern and a fire/burn pattern all integrated into actions within the game.

Beginning the test fitting this week.

#24719 5 months ago
Quoted from zahner:

Any thoughts about making a version that could work on a pro?

I did think about making a pro version that could shake with a coil (it’s possible) but I don’t think the effort required would pay off in the long run, it would be fairly pricey to include everything needed to make it work and it would likely need a couple of pilot holes in the playfield which not everyone is keen on doing when it comes to a mod.

A single piece design like all the other pro bridges on offer is definitely possible with all the lighting effects included. Or the dual design for the prem/le with a pro mount so the bridge could be mounted to look broken/partially collapsed could be cool and easily doable.

Just working on an ultimate battle damaged version of the DRAKE/TOHO building to go with the bridge and Atomic King Ghidorah to go with the amazing Atomic Godzilla from Jazzbouche

Looking for some opinions and feedback from fellow Godzilla owners.

As most of you are aware Jazzbouche created the amazing Atomic Godzilla, I tried to get him to produce him a friend but he was unfortunately too busy.

So with his blessing, bags of advice and more than one helping hand along the way (Paul you’re awesome) I took on the task.

Yeti used a brilliant blend of yellows and oranges which has been pretty tricky to replicate so I would love to get peoples thoughts on it and see what the general consensus is, which paint job/colours gel best with Yeti’s artwork.

Atomic King Ghidorah A:
(Prototype without lighting or translucent resin parts)
