Quoted from tdiddy:We are happy to announce that our (Pro) building is coming along nicely. This is a very early version of the building but we are excited about the progress and want to give everyone a peek. Again this is an early version and there will be more details on the roof and sides. We are also kicking around a custom sign package for those that want to customize their pinball mod to truly making it their own. So say instead of "Drake Investments" you wanted say ...... "Centerflanks Lamp shop" or "Vids Pinball Repair". The building would be the same but the sign would be your own.
We hope to make this for all models but until we get our premium there's no way to tell how well this will transfer over
***** we are knees deep in Tesla Strike Towers, so this is going on the back burner for a few weeks ******
But please let me know what you guys think
Thanks again!

Very cool.
I've been wondering if there is enough room on the PreLE's to replace the building with something better than the plastics. Not holding my breath, but it really needs it.
Quoted from Kiwipinhead:Just waiting for the Premiums to be made and then shipping LEs and Premium together. Pro's land in a couple of weeks
With sea freight the way it is at the moment i think your Distro is a bit too optimistic. Unless theyre coming Air?
Having said that if you guys are not full containers you may have better chances. Full container bookings are a nightmare.

Quoted from MT45:This ^^^
And this ^^^
I experienced this as well using Pinguy app.
After checking using a $3 plastic bubble level and my Craftsman digital level, I ended up deleting this app
I only checked it because I DID use the app to level my game last night after playing the last game of the evening
Came back tonight and the magnet was dropping the ball onto the base of the flipper then bouncing almost a 1/2" away from the face of it making the loop shot impossible
Checked this thread and saw multiple posts about app being off - sure is
Hope this helps someone else
See pic of app at ZERO and both levels behind it ... was 0.7 degrees off
Second image after leveling using the Craftsman level

I'm assuming you did something about the camera on the back of your phone?
And did you calibrate it to something already level?
Quoted from MT45:Yes, camera is recessed so no impact there
Calibration is in the photo ...
2 other levels showing app is off, and agreeing with each other on roughly "how much"
Lastly, game is now 100% playable again - magnet is dropping ball where it should!
Good to know.
Pin guys is fantastic purely because of the 2 way levelling and the call outs. And on most games 0.7deg variation wont affect too much (esp at the speed a pinball moves) but on some games like GZ and the magnet drop, it can def make a difference.
Personally I would use pinguy for the initial level so you dont have to keep getting out from under the game, then a manual level for the last fine tune.
Played the pro today for the first time…..only a few games….but enjoyed it a lot.
Have to admit I was surprised at how “empty” it felt. Only one ramp. No bash toy or anything interactive at all really.
But Elwin has a way of making incredibly satisfying layouts from nothing. The use of the single random pop bumper instead of a useless “nest”. The magnet is really clever. Unconventional yet well thought out shots all over the playfield. And of course his famous wireforms make all the difference. Yeti’s art works beautifully.
The theme, the asset use and humour are all great.
All combined an “empty” game feels loaded. Can’t wait for my LE to get here.
Quoted from Jkush18:I don’t know about you guys but I’d consider the mechagodzilla shield target a bash toy of sorts. I mean it’s a spinning ramp spinner target bash mech no? Also empty? Three spinners two ramps an amazing ball diverting building mech that changes the shots and freaking collapsing bridge diverter and first ever mangna grab magnet with captive ball target behind it! Empty…wtf!
As I said, I played the pro. There’s no mecha ramp toy, collapsible bridge or moving building.
Did you read the actual post? I said it was empty but awesome through clever design.
Empty was an observation not a criticism.
Quoted from PinKopf:Yeah, only occasional SDTM on that shot for me, but it can certainly be frustrating when it happens. Maybe 10-15% of the shots there? Definitely always dangerous though. I try to slap/slide save anytime I accidentally shoot it - don't know how actually effective I am at truly "saving" it vs would have caught a flipper anyway though...
With no real reward for shooting that shot generally (beyond the unadvertised double-super), its an oddity. I'm hoping that a code update does something more with that shot.
So there is a switch that registers that shot but it's really not tied to anything?
Quoted from calprog:Changed out the bright green Godzilla for this!! Super cool. This Godzilla is from Japan. East fit!

He's perfect with those blue fins, but AUD$550....ouch!
And then this......double ouch

I can see now thats pretty collectible - how did you mount it?

Quoted from Our_Man_in_Oz:Wow late arrival for an Oz LE Mark, thought they'd all come through already. Enjoy mate, think you'll want to keep this one a long while
Had it since it arrived Andrew - game room was out of action for a few months when it arrived. Only just had a chance to unbox it.
Loving it so far. Typical Elwin.
Quoted from jetmechinnc:I have the opportunity to buy a Godzilla LE for about $3k over the current asking price for a premium. Is it worth the extra cost? Value/return? Game only has about 100 plays on it. Love the game as most people do. Just wanting an honest opinion. Only other LE I’ve owned was a Star Trek LE that I miss. And that was cost me less than the current premiums!
Thank you
Tough question especially when comparing to Star Trek LE. STLE is one of the true Stern LE’s along with B66LE. With Godzilla LE you’re just getting trim and art.
But given you’re paying a premium for a Premium, you may as well get an LE. Premium prices will absolutely come down once production catches up. Let’s not so much.
Quoted from troon47:Curious if anyone has a way to clean the glass without leaving bad streaks. I've tried most of the "streak-free" products and various applicators, but still get them really bad. Thanks.
Try 100% isopropyl alcohol - can usually buy it in a spray bottle from the hardware store.
Quoted from Sleal16:Especially if he's cleaning the LE glass, pure alcohol can ruin the anti glare coating.
For PDI/invisiglass its actually recommended for it. Been using it forever on all varieties.
And on regular glass it also works well - there is nothing to ruin.
Edit: you can dilute it with water if you’re concerned.
Quoted from mstang01:I think it’s ammonia you need to avoid with the anti glare
Ammonia is definitely a no go, and it’s in alot of commercial glass cleaners. Never had issues with isopropyl alcohol on any glass products. Great on phones also as it evaporates quickly.
Quoted from chuckwurt:You have to look at the ramps and understand how to light the battles. The playfield won’t tell you that. The raid insert light once you’ve played one of them, not both. So you probably needed one or both ramps to relight the scoop for battle, then you needed to play one of the tier two modes to light change city.
I’m sure I had shot the ramps numerous times once all were flashing, but the battle might wasn’t lighting. Anyway, will keep an eye next time.

Quoted from AMartin56:Same happens to me..I just wait for the ball search since it's very rare. Some people put a 3m bumper there but I don't like that idea since it's so close to a moving mechanism that might get jammed.
Just had it happen where did a super soft plunge, ball went straight to that hang, and game didn’t go into ball search. Maybe a bug? But game should have known the all wasn’t in the shooter lane and should have gone into search, but didn’t.
Quoted from math08:You are right, it will not go into ball search under this scenario. I have used the cabinet bumper (1/2 round clear rubber) on the turntable and it works without jambing the mechanism.

Thanks, this was my next try. Nice to know it works.
