Agreed. I reached out to my distro and changed my order from a pro to a premium last week. Really looking forward to this one showing up soon. Ordered a speaker upgrade kit for it as well, first machine I’ve done that for in five or six years rather than just use a sub.

I don’t see this mod for sale in their Pinside store. Do they have another website? I’ve not heard of them previously but those look incredible.

Do you feel that way for every game or is the shaker really well implemented in Godzilla? I ordered one last night for my premium whenever it arrives.

I got the Flipper Fidelity big 10 also. Anyone have feelings on that one?

OMG, that is insane. I hope your distro is getting incorrect news. I’ve been waiting on pins and needles to get the call. This game stole the show at HAAG.

This game is so incredibly well lit, what do pinstadiums add to it? (I love pinstadiums on B/W machines by the way, I’m a fan of the product, just not sure what they would add to a well lit game).

What is that shooter rod you have? It looks awesome.

That is a great idea. Who is the best vendor to buy this from and what color through lighting looks best in this game?

That did that with GnR as well… I like the pinstadium product on my B/W games (that really need them) but games like GnR and Godzilla are incredibly bright. Im not sure how pinstadium is even able to find pictures when it’s so dim…they must wait till the game is doing a lighting effect when everything is off and snap it then.

That sucks. This happened to me with Mando. Stern is losing customers to all this frustration. That said, the demand for Stern product is through the moon so they are likely fine losing a few customers…they view us as addicts that can’t really stay away anyway.

I think Rush is barely going to move any games, the LEa will of course sell out but overall I think itll sell worse than BK:SOR. This will allow Stern to catch up a bit but if they are really 12,500 orders backlogged as is being reported…

At least pinball is super healthy right now.

Keith is the 800 pound gorilla designer. Whatever he does is incredible. Whenever he is up next I want whatever he is designing, almost regardless of the theme. I wish Stern would revisit some of their giant licenses they gave Ritchie like Game of Thrones and let Keith take a swing at them.

I disagree. Every manufacturer wants to be in the position to control/limit their output. Stern is loving being able to jack up the price and sit on a 12,500 machine order backlog. They would keep this status forever if they could, it is adding to their FOMO.

People are saying distributors are hurting right now, I’m not sure if that is true or not. They sell everything the second it comes in. They aren’t having to fight on price, they are getting full MSRP or higher for inventory.

I texted my distro this morning. Has Stern pulled Godzilla off the line?

Not their HD glass. That is made in Germany.

Nice! Pinball Refinery is awesome. Glad to see them getting games to their customers so quickly after order.

Are the premiums still on the line at Stern? I’m waiting on the call from my distributor.

I have their Mando kit and it’s amazing. Are they going to put together a full kit for Godzilla? Looks like they have most of it ready but haven’t made a full kit on their website yet.

They need to advertise a bit. Their stuff is awesome but few know about their products. They could get a lot more sales with some promotion.

Glad to hear it as I ordered this mod a couple weeks ago and am super enthusiastic about receiving it. The photos look stunning. I’ve not been adding many mods to my games lately but this was one I just could not pass up.

Anyone doing a knock off Avenger’s shooter rod for this Godzilla? I saw frankmac ‘s installation of it and it goes perfect with this game…better even then on Avengers.

Just got the call, I’ll have my premium next week. Super pumped!

So, what’s the feel on the best side rails and/or powder coat for Godzilla? Mando had those incredible rifle side rails, is Stern coming out with any special side rails for Godzilla premium? Any cool after market ones?

Godzilla Premium owner here.

So, my one beef with this game after having it for a month is that the quality of the sound does not appear to be up to par with some other recent Stern releases (such as Stranger Things). I went ahead and upgraded the speakers to Flipper Fidelity but it didn't make much of a difference. My concern is that underlying quality of the sound and the highs and lows are a bit lacking.

Am I crazy, spoiled, a mixture of those two things or am I on to something that other owners feel is a concern? Anyone have any sound adjustment recommendations? Thanks!

Well, usually I just do an external sub and call it a day. I have Flipper Fidelity in a few games and it helped my Star Trek out a ton...I love Godzilla (what an incredible game!) so I decided to go all out with FF speaker set... I think it is primarily the Godzilla roar not hitting the highs and the sound effects not hitting a big bass. I'm not an audio file but sound is important to me in pinball machines.

I'm wondering if it is a recording transfer issue or something on Sterns end that they can improve, maybe it is just unreasonable expectations on my side...always possible.
