Been a lurker for a while here but decided this was going to be my first purchase. Found out I missed the first run and am pretty bummed there is such a large production gap.

I know they say once you get your first you need to go ahead and make space for the second but this might just speed up the process lol. I want something to play soon - waiting 4 months is going to be rough.

Going with a Premium.

I really hope it's not true. I was expecting my Premium this week, which is to be my first machine I've owned, so I don't have any other games to hold me over on a long wait.

I might desperation order a ST or TMNT if this ends up being the reality

I preoredered through them - no complaints so far. No game yet, either though lol. I saw one of the LEs from them was delivered (according to this thread).

I had the same concerns originally that you brought up but I'm now comfortable

FedEx called and confirmed a Premium incoming on Monday. Can't wait, this is my first machine.

I've got a dolly and a strap. Still kinda nervous getting the thing inside and set up. Any advice?

Elevator, thank god

Premium arrived today. My first machine I've owned. Still trying to get it level but everything looks good so far.

Also wanted to thank Rob @ Mad Pinball here since it's a new distro. Made my first purchase so easy. He said I would be on a first run and he delivered.

I've only gotten one in about 85 games so far. Pretty sure it was for the jet fighters. I think you can also get one for destroying 3 saucers as well

Oh nice, I'll get right on this!

Oh man, finally. I finally destroyed a city. Of course I completely botched the ball 3 tank multiball that triggered it, so I didn't really get to savor it.

But still... baby steps. I suck so bad at pinball

I can't get over how good the new code is. Building up these bonuses is so fun!

I can't get more than 5 consecutive loops and it's killing me haha. I hate seeing that high score still the factory default

I finally cracked a billion (just barely). Holy shit, this game gets better with every update. I still haven't hit a mini wizard mode but I'm close.

Holy shit, after never qualifying Monster Zero I finally did it. Fantastic mode, I was so happy. Thought to myself "one more game"

Ended up qualifying it again, and on ball 1 had already beaten my high score. Blew the last two balls in my third city trying to finish Gigan. Had one shot left just taunting me.

Walked away with 1.8 billion and basically a new high score in each category. What a game.

I love how this game allows you to blow it up on a single ball. I had the best start ever, though. Beat Tokyo and had all four inserts lit before I left.

Played Terror of Mechagodzilla for the first time before I even left the city. I can't help but think how different it would have been if I left Tokyo first and tried to blow up annihilation bonuses in the second city.

I thought this would be the game to take me to two billion. Kinda botched it from there though lol.
