Really on the fence about picking up this title, because it's a dream theme for me. Leaning towards Pro, but would really like a Premium, but there tough to find, and for the extra 2K or more, unsure. Is the extra $$$ really worth it for the Premium? With so many mods already out for this title, i'm wondering if Pro isn't just fine, then mod it as i want when i want. Thoughts?

Appreciate all the input guys and your opinions. Biggest issue too right now is availability and $$$$.

FINALLY pulled the trigger and ordered a Pro. Won't see it til summer, but it will be well worth the wait. I was born in '68, so I grew up watching Godzilla on the weekends. Another dream theme for me, and absolutely can't wait to own this killer game...

Ditto

For those of you adding a Godzilla figure behind the bridge, especially Pro owners, how much clearance is there under the glass? How tall can a figure be to fit there? My Pro won't be here til summer, but looking to pick up some mods in the meantime. And how are we mounting these?

Thanks. Like to see some pics from people that added a figure back there. I know there some on here but....Really trying to get some ideas of MUST add-ons, especially for the Pro

I went through this same thing when I got IMDN. I thought the Pro was a great shooter, and just didn't think the extras on the Premium/LE was worth it, to me. Money was a factor too. I still love my IMDN Pro, and i'm pumped for my Godzilla Pro. No matter what version you have or plan to get, best Stern out there, all versions basically play the same. And the art package on the Pro is awesome

Says 10" though. Isn't that too big?? Perfect tho

Sounds like more work than need be to me, but. I like the look of this figure best from what i've found so far. Just want one that will fit without cutting and shaving here and there. Who know's, maybe....Thanks..

I did art blades in my IMDN and seemed fairly easy with the PF in. I haven't got my GZ yet so.......so is there a reason it'd be tougher on GZ? Just curious without having mine yet

Email them directly. Also, there is a thread he has titled Signature Line Building GZ mod i believe. Terrible with posting links. I ordered one friday. I am # 1092 of 1101. So they must be about gone if there only making 100.

Glad to hear. Glad i didn't wait much longer to jump on this building mod. Won't see my Pro til summer, but this mod was a must for me. Soon as i saw they were limited to only 100, was definitely time to buy..

Absolute dream theme for me as well. I still haven't even played one yet, but mine will be here in the summer. Theme alone was enough for me. Watched some gameplay online, and was like, yeah, GOTTA have it. Be more than worth the wait

Was just gonna ask the same thing. Not getting my Pro for awhile either, but just curious if these will be available into the summer

Is there a post somewhere in this thread that has a diagram of the length and location of all the rubbers? I'm replacing mine too before i even play a game, which won't be til summer

Thanks,
Also, just making sure, but are the rubber sets exactly the same for the Premium/LE vs Pro? I have a Pro coming..

Curious, what adjustments and tweaks did you have to do to JP new out of the box? I have my 1st NIB (GZ) coming this summer, and i'm a little leary as to how much stuff will need to be done to get it working just right. Thx...

2.5
Kidding of course. Waiting on my Pro as well

I'll be ordering them in early summer. Can't buy all my mods before my Pro arrives. Won't be able to afford the pin LOL

I still want to wait on those towers til summer since my Pro is probably coming August, but what is the price on the Towers again?

Your Godzilla figure is this guy right?

aaa (resized).jpg

I'm changing all the rubber over to Titan, like most NIB owners seem to be doing, before i even play a game on mine WHEN i ever get it. Looks like most people are doing green flipper rubber. What other colors are you some of you using? Doing translucent everywhere else. And, dumb question, haven't even played the game yet, and have no idea how many balls it takes, 5 or 6? replacing those right away as well.

Thanks. Like the Orange flipper rubber. But i'll stick with the translucent about everywhere else. Really liked it on my IMDN

Anyone have some pics of these glow in the dark ones installed? Curious how they look

THX. I like those. Maybe go that route

I'll PM you tomorrow. But I think I'll take them

Seen them on Ebay

I'd add the Flaming Speaker light kit too. But you MIGHT have to wait awhile for the kit

Link?

I went with this guy. He's a tad too tall, but I'll make him work. Won't know til I get my machine tho just how he'll look.

20220609_171821 (resized).jpg

Not sure where all put the jets, possibly on the sling plastics? Decide when I get the machine I guess. I just love the figure, cannot wait to get him installed, and of course TDiddy's building mod as well

Get your GZ Premium and keep it. Nuff said..

So it's really that easy huh? Does it take enough weight off to make it worth the while, even if you DON'T need to take the head off to make clearance etc? My NIB Pro will be here within the week, and i'd like to make the move to the basement as easy as possible. Only taken off wedgehead heads and a few early Bally SS

This is good to know. Hell, if I went this route I can probably move it myself without always having to call a buddy over

Dam, all I see is 1 cable still attached, and 1 connector unplugged. What's the 1 cable that you didn't disconnect? I plan on moving my Pro when it arrives with the PF out and head off. Just curious how many connections there are to the PF that have to be disconnected to remove it completely

Is it fairly easy to left the PF out yourself, or did you have help?

Good to know. Thanks. Now I just need my Pro already......

Add mods like everyone else, including me........

Understandable with no moving mechs, but also can add more problems and repair. I have TDiddy's building mod and bridge mod, Doug's flamin frames and a nice Godzilla figure waiting in the wings for my Pro to show up (Hopefully within the week) and have roughly $550 into those, plus cost of pin, so about $7200 total. Plus i'm going to get the Tesla strike towers and mirror blades. Now about $7450ish. Still much cheaper than a Premium, and some nice mods. Still would love a Premium, but the extra $$$ just wasn't worth it, to me. Plus didn't have that much to spend..

Pro or Premium? I should be getting a call any day as well.

I forget, but who sells these and what's the price?

No kidding

Pro or Premium? I was on the July Pro run, and paid in full a month ago. Should be any day I'd think??

Wonder when mine's coming? I'm on the July build. Getting ancy for sure

Ok, my NIB Pro will be here weds or thurs. My 1st NIB. Excited as hell, but also a tad "nervous". Been in this hobby quite awhile, but this will be new experience. Like some advice, and or some do's and don't's. Unboxing, set-up, what to look for/check for, Anything. Thanks in advance

Got THE call yesterday. My Pro will be here tomorrow. Man I can't frickin wait. Been reading and adding to these threads for months, and picking up mods along the way. Finally the day is almost here

Congrats Quy, mine will be here tomorrow

Thanks! Hope it goes well too. Cannot wait

My plan when my Pro shows up later today is, fronts all the way in (Shortest), and the rears about 2" out, bottom of leveler to bottom of leg. Maybe a tad more out. Worked well on IMDN. See how it goes on GZ

He FINALLY showed up yesterday! My 1st NIB. Been following and contributing to these threads for months, and after ordering in February he's here. Honestly say it's the 1st time I've seen and played this game last night. Oh my god, what a beautiful pin! Plays pretty good right out of the box. Need to level it a tad more, but, otherwise plays great. This was so worth the wait. Can't wait to get some more plays in tonight and start adding those mods I've been collecting for months.

Thanks!

I had the PBL ones on my IMDN, but you couldn't change colors. When I bought them you had to choose a color. I really liked them though

Where exactly are these brackets located? Just got my Pro and am curious if mine has them

Thanks Jason. What a awesome game. I have TDiddy's limited edition Drake building mod and his bridge. A sweet looking GZ figure. Doug's framin frames speakerlightkit. Couple fighter jets and some Titan rubber to add. Few more mods coming down the road. Waitlists are long for some mods.

Got TDiddy's bridge in, and my GZ 90% in. He's basically "sitting" because it's 7" high. Without major surgery to him, i think the look is ok, or no? Took his tail out and will likely put it where the flat plastic is or was. He's wedged in there fairly good, and unless your on the left side of the machine looking straight down behind the bridge, I think it looks fine, but?

20220823_165846 (resized).jpg

Don't have a link. I could add one IF I knew. Got him on Ebay. There's at least one on there. He's the 2007 Toho Co. Bandai 7" Classic Godzilla Kaiju Monster Action Figure 1986 movie ebay.com link: itm
Guess I just figured out how to paste a link!

Ok, only had my Pro about 10 days, and love it to death of course, but IMO just too much Red GI. What are you guys doing to change some of it up? Some warm whites here and there, or cool or ?

Think I remember now of a pic you posted of that. Is that just a standard size dome, or Stern specific? Haven't bought LEDS or anything for quite some time. Out of the parts loop so to speak these days.

Ok, came up with a possible idea for my GZ Pro flat plastic that I replaced with a figure. Obviously I'd trim it some to look better, but it's a general idea. Not worried about the plastic since this pin is bolted to my floor. Not that it matters really anyway. But, look dumb? Ok? Just can't stand that area..

20220915_174941 (resized).jpg

We'll do...

Hoping to FINALLY get mine installed this weekend. Had them for months, but my pin arrived only a few weeks ago. Can't wait...

Is there also a Youtube video on the install, or just the online instructions? I used the online instructions on my IMDN, but I prefer a video when available

Got her done. Think it looks ok

20220919_144957 (resized).jpg

Gz is my 1st Stern with the Insider Connect. So you can download the new code update without a SD card correct? If so how? This is new to me

Thanks

Far as I know yes. Was with IMDN. Maybe it works different now?

Mine peeled off without any help.

FINALLY got Doug's speaker lights installed over the weekend. Had them for months, but didn't get my Pro til last month. Dam these are awesome in person. Thanks again Doug

20220926_142904 (resized).jpg

Haven't had my GZ long, and maybe i'm just stupid, but what is the BOC song?

Oh, duh. Like I said, maybe i'm just stupid. Didn't even dawn on me it was a abbreviation. I personally don't mind it THAT much, but I suppose over time it will get old for me as well. I'm a '86 grad, so I grew up listening to them so I can live with it I guess, for now

No kidding. Like a can of worms or something is getting opened??

I'm fairly sure there's a wait, BUT, worth it

Here's Doug's

Hetd

20220926_142904 (resized).jpg

Where is the EQ setting by the way?

Thanks. Just haven't had much time to tinker with any settings yet since I got it

What is THEE best level to level a pin? And within a reasonable price. I only have 3 pins and this title is the only one I've ever owned that has to really be dialed in. Thx in advance...

Yes, sending all GZ owners a free topper

Can you download the new code via WiFi if your not a member of insider connected?

This is what i've done in the past when I had IMDN. Just thought it'd be easier via WiFi

I'll say.......................................................Premium?
Looks great. Liking the Alien Console screen more and more every time I see one

Those are awesome. Think I'll order the bumper car as well

Got to Monster Zero for the 1st time last night. Must admit, not sure how I got there. I really don't play as often as i'd like. Actually maybe a half dozen games a week. Haven't really studied enough up on the rulesheet either. Was fun to get to a "new" point in the game obviously, but I have to admit, there is SO much going most of the time, especially when you have a multiball going, and all the lights etc and the game going 1/2 dark at times, I just have a real hard time following what's going on half the time. Would love to watch the LCD screen way more often than I get to, but dam, who the hell has time with so much going on. I've owned pins for 15 years, so I'm an average player. I don't think the game is hard, just real deep. Just wondering how some of you "figure" this game out without playing 100 times a week and or watching gameplay on YouTube. Just curious, not ranting

Yep, I plan on watching more streams for sure. Just don't have much time. Had this game new since late August, and probably have maybe only 125 games on it, and a high score of only 590 million

Thanks. I usually do well hitting lit shots during GZ multiball. But I rarely get my power-ups past 3 or 4, yet. And I do remember now at power-up 4 I did indeed choose Monster Zero. Most times at power-ups I'm unsure which to choose. That sounded like something fun and different to shoot for a change. Seems like every game I see something new. A 1st last night as well getting Saucer Attack Multiball

Anyone on here make those lenticular instruction cards for GZ? Got some for my IMDN a few years ago and loved them.

I completely agree. If I take 5 seconds off to take a sip off a beer or drink and I'm ok. But if I take any kind of a break out side a min or 2, I know where the rest of a great game is going, south

Question, I'm trying to update to the newest code. Signed up for insider connected, have the Wi-Fi connected, even scanned the code on the apron, but it will not let me download the update. I'm all setup online. Even logged in to Stern via the QR code. I must be missing something, but don't know what. Last time I updated I used a Flashdrive, and that was on my IMDN

That was another thing I was trying to do I believe. Was trying everything last night

Can you download the new code via thumbdrive if your connected to insider connected? I signed up for insider connected but can't download the code via Wi-Fi. I downloaded the the code off Stern's website on to a flashdrive, but it doesn't automatically download. When I had IMDN i would just put the flashdrive in the USB and it would automatically download. WTF am I doing wrong here?

Files are zipped yes. Never had such a problem with a code update. My 1st pin with insider connected so I'm not sure what the deal is

Definitely need to un-zip the files</
Fairly sure there zipped. How do you unzip them? I'm NOT a computer guy

I just right-clicked on the download and then sent it to USB drive. If i open the download there are 3 files. How do I get them to the flashdrive?, which of course is at home. Just looking at the download here at work and trying to figure out how to get all 3 parts of the download onto the flashdrive

Ok, so just drag to the USB Drive as shown in pic?

20230221_100604 (resized).jpg

Perfect, thanks. I'll redo it here tomorrow. So, it should automatically download when the game is turned on? That's how it worked on IMDN

Thanks gents! Will update when hopefully done

Got the code updated finally. Thanks all!

No doubt. GZ was my 1st NIB last August. Still remember how giddy I was when the truck pulled up. Awesome feeling

Exact same thing happened to me! Here's a pic of the box. Just a little decal damage on the the left side. Can barely even tell unless your looking for it. It was a relief. Still waiting on the decal from Stern.

20220819_174634 (resized).jpg

Putting in a little PBL order right now. Are the coil sleeves and stops the same for the upper flipper vs the lowers?
