Quoted from smokinhos:

GAWD... I want to love this game. My son and I played both the premium and pro. We are pretty convinced that the premium is the way to go, but we just don't get the hype. Its a cool game but not mind blowing by any means. We struggled with trying to love GnR too despite it being the greatest pin ever. Maybe we just need more plays on GZ. But THAT won't happen because.. wait for it.. you can't actually buy one. And so we just circle the wagons and hope Stern can catch up with demand. . Someday. Yes I know.. play one on location.. but the local places really don't take care of or dial in their pins. Actually pretty frustrating. Certainly a different thread topic.

I love Godzilla and can’t stand GnR if that helps any. GnR is so repetitive and boring IMO. But pinball is a very personal thing. Whats one persons GOAT is another’s trash. Play what you enjoy.

Sound is like not my more important aspect of a pinball machine. I’m immersed in the game play. I mean no sounds would be bad. But as long as it has speakers and there are cool things coming out of them as I play thats pretty solid. That said. I do throw away their garbage speakers that come in the premium and upgrade to the LE stuff. Costs me like $75 bucks on amazon to get the same set of 3 speakers as the LE.

Received the Lior saucer yesterday and installed today. Looks awesome!

Quoted from madamyates:

Definitely recommend this for any Premium or LE owner.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Is that the Stern fix? Or who is making those?

#8300 2 years ago
Quoted from Fezmid:

This game was never on my radar - I'm not a Godzilla fan - but when I first played the Premium, I was hooked! So much so that I placed an order and am supposed to get it in summer, my first NiB. So am I in the club now or do I have to wait to receive it?

I say once its on order you are in the club! Welcome

Shooter rod came today. I like it. Just too bad it’s the cost of a lighted one without the lighted.

Quoted from Gotfrogs:

What is the surface finish of yours like? Does it feel smooth to the touch or kind of gritty?

Rough and gritty. I wonder if it would do well with a spray of clear somehow.

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:

Three questions (second of which might be answered by the first one)...
1) someone posted a link while back of a Stern Godzilla rule sheet PDF that looked rather official. Can anyone repost a link to it?
2) I got an "Imposter fight" achievement of some sort. I've heard it mentioned here before, but I'm not entirely certain what it is? Does it have to do with tail whips?
3) what exactly is DJ Mixer mode in the music settings?

Quoted from jackd104:

What are the speakers to order that match the le? Brand/model? Anyone know?
Thanks.

Woofer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HJ0S88/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00
I was getting these for $35, not sure if they will go back down or not. I am 99% sure this is the same Stern puts in the LE. Much bigger magnet than the stock woofer they use in the premium/pro games.

Back box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079SFC3P9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00
These vary a lot more in price as they are always a 3rd party seller. Right now 50 bucks. They are the same as the LE 100% for sure and again much bigger magnet than the stock premium/pro speaker they use.

You also need to replace the speaker brackets cause these are 5.25” speakers, make sure you order 2: https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-spike-2-speaker-plate-for-525-drivers.html

I like to put a colored piece of around the speaker like they do on the LE, this isn’t required but I like how it looks. http://www.speakerlightkits.com/5.25-SPIKE-2-Speaker-Surrounds.html

If you really want to kick it up a notch, also add an amplifier: https://pinwoofer.com/pinwoofer-diy/

Quoted from NightTrain:

Do you buy the 4 ohm or the 8 ohm woofer?

4ohm

#10398 1 year ago
Quoted from ZAuxier:

16 consecutive loops?!? Dear lord I'm terrible...
I never try to shoot it over and over, for fear of draining, but my high is 4.

My high is 2 :-/

#10400 1 year ago
Quoted from nicoy3k:

It varies from game to game. In my le I could hit a bunch no problem on my premium I can do a few but a miss to the ramp Is instal drain, setup is important

Makes me wonder if blueberryjohnson doesnt have any problem at all with the flipper……..

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:

Hey, for those of you who sliced off your replacement vinyl Godzilla figure's feet/tail/etc, what tool did you use to do so? I've got a Hedorah figure whose back & tail I'm looking to slice off without landing myself in the ER...

Thanks! Ordered! I love all his mods! The UFO is probably still my favorite

#11217 1 year ago

Alligator clips are basically a one way road to a short and a fire and blown boards.
They are meant for test stuff only and spill into lazyness.

Quoted from Colywobbles:

I was lucky enough to be one of Stumblor’s beta testers for his Tokyo Neon Sign Mod so I thought I’d post a little video of my experience fitting the mod hope it’s some help to those lucky enough to have their name in one.
Please note photos and videos don’t give this mod the justice it deserves and it looks far nicer in the flesh and the way it shimmers and flickers is just mind blowingly awesome.
Please excuse the broken arm but it does go to show how easy it is to fit 48hrs after an operation which involves having a plate and 8 screws put in my arm due to the bad break.

And a few pics of it in situ.

#13103 1 year ago
Quoted from ZMeny:

For me it’s typically the “extras” that make me go LE. Powdercoat is what around $500 or so but it’s the time to strip the game and then wait for it to get done. And I really like mirrored backglasses and that’s just something not easy to attain with the other models.

Local guy does it for $250 and turn around is about a week. Plus I get to pick my color!

I refuse to put those stupid metal flippers on my game. They change how the game feels and shoots.

Such a happy guy

I am cause I have my original flippers and my game flips amazing

I went double green vein. I like it. But this game has lots of color options that work well.
