Quoted from WizzardRob:

Sounds exactly like my issue with the building opto. It did not always register fast balls, it got worse quickly and stopped registering at all in game. In switch test i was able to register the opto mostly bit also got worse... i tried taping it like sigested here, didnt help.
I changed the receiver with a new one and everything was fine, catching every ball no matter how fast it is.

Quoted from FatPanda:

Joined the club today!
I want to add some additional lighting as the red modes get pretty dark but beyond that, it plays really great out of the box. Haven't had to make any adjustments yet. The glass is SUPER tight. Having to force it in tight. I loosened the rail screws a bit as suggested, but just barely helped.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Quoted from Sorokyl:

Which do you prefer? From the photo, brightness is similar, but the frosted seems much warmer. I just did the warmer on mine and am pretty happy with it.
One thing I recommend is picking up these, to replace the metal washers under those slingshot plastics. just next time you're placing an order from one of these vendors (makes a huge difference imo)

Quoted from awesome1:

See my post above for where I got replacement (Pinball Life) and follow the link to my earlier post that shows the part number...

Quoted from DudeRegular:

On the pinball show podcast they just talked about the same issue. It sounds like the ball when it comes to rest not fully breaking the beam and keeping the opto closed. I think he mentioned the gap from the subway to the vuk being the issue.

Quoted from HC2016:

6” figure 20 bucks if anyone is interested [quoted image]

Quoted from JayLar:

I was thinking about something like that, but thought the space was too narrow. When inspecting more carefully I now realise it can actually be just about enough for the ball to stay out of the opto-beam. In order to shorten the space I went ahead and bent the lip where the ball comes down into the subway (se Photo 1) and moved the entire subway further towards the VUK-kicker (se Photo 2). First try worked fine with three balls in a row. I will report back after more testing!

Quoted from Caponicus:

It lights only when you are in modes even when ready. Then you have to hold it down for a couple seconds when you want to use it.

Quoted from jackd104:

After having GZ in the house for 5 weeks, my 12 year old just got to Planet X with 5.4B. Happy for him but damn I am never going to match that!

Quoted from Mischa:

Replacing coil stops. And one of the screws was already broken.
Since this is a US size (and I am in Europe), can someone tell.me what size screw this is? And if you have a link, much appreciated [quoted image]

Quoted from AvidPinPlayer:

My first experience with a Stern pin updating the code via WiFi (I have 4 JJP pins and all update via WiFi). Anyway, I powered up Godzilla, went to the service menu, network, software update, and realized that the pin had already started downloading the new code as soon as I powered up. once it finished, I went to update software and that was it. No glitches or problems at all which was welcomed news as I just had to replace my water heater that busted in the night

Quoted from flynnibus:

Anyone having problems with the building vuk not registering after the latest update?
Ours is very intermittently not registering the ball in the vuk so waits till ball search and game gets kinda funky afterwards.
You can feed it manually 20 times in a row during switch test without issue - but still every few games in real play it fails after making the lock shot through the building and relies on the ball search.
Behavior is new this week. Nothing looks odd about the optos and tests fine during switch test.

Quoted from Jony:

this post has just pushed me over the edge to purchase a gz prem... my only issue is the theme (and art package) which I don't love...

Quoted from mark532011:

After 2 days of play i can say that there are some really frustrating parts of the game.
The auto-shooter is awful. Quite literally 9 times out of 10 it shoots up to the magnagrab thing and then goes down the middle. It’s usually on the 3rd or 4th free ball that we finally get to play. We have switched to using the manual shooter even though it is not very strong
Same for the building multiball. Every single time -every time! All the balls roll straight down the middle, its just comical and then we have to wait for them to be shot out again so we can start shooting.

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

the hardest shot in the game is hitting the tail whip on purpose.
In fact, I think it might be the hardest normal shot in modern pinball. Is there another with a lower percentage success rate?

Quoted from sirlonzelot:

Enjoy

Quoted from Aurich:

I watched some of the DeadFlip stream of the Godzilla 1.0 last night, popped up in my YouTube recs.
I haven't touched a new game since Keith's Jurassic Park, just out of the new pinball loop since the pandemic really.
I'm afraid to play Godzilla, because I might want one if I do.

Quoted from Green-Machine:

The Godzilla craze is real! I just smile walking by mine. Fast and furious, unique shots and buttery smooth.

Quoted from John1210:

Unfortunately a lot of people get sucked in with buying all that 3d printed or model crap from mezel that adds absolutely nothing to gameplay. Look I get it, its your game so do what you want but the fact is these mods these guys peddle are way overpriced and usually look like shit... added to that is a simple fact you won't get your money back on resell. A lot of hobbiests prefer a game stock, and only pay for quality mods like audio etc, not all this 3d printed garbage. Here's my gz prem with a couple of spotlights and $2 light strips added. All in all around $30 on the playfield ... and it looks clean and not cluttered with shite!! Maybe needs a set of mirrors to finish it off.

Quoted from tedwasright:

My 5yo, two 10yos, and 13yo all enjoy it every day. Premium

Quoted from Jamesays:

Just order from Doug.This will ship Fast most likely.

Quoted from jackd104:

It would be crazy cool to get a log of individual games in some fidelity that makes sense. Like all shots or modes you made in order and the score along the way.

Quoted from kool1:

Can anyone comment on the quality of these speaker lights?

Disclaimer
For the record I could be totally wrong! This is just my opinion.
I’ve had my Godzilla a month I love it ; but how can a game released so soon be the top game of all time that is super inflated it seems? ;
Think of any “other” field where the top of anything of “all time” is brand new lol (could be bad analogy);
I mean come on people pinball has been around a while;
also there aren’t really that many ranks on the database to my surprise only 151k ratings total for all games on all of pinside that’s not a lot worldwide at all ;
I enjoy Mando and AIQ just as much or more then Godzilla; I actually like Mando better than GZ currently and AIQ way way better haven’t touched my GZ since I got AIQ
I think Elwin is a great addition to stern but to me it appears his Ego needs a little bit of a check(from how he holds himself) cause I’m not a fan of his attitude from some interviews
I believe he just got real lucky with the initial success of Godzilla ;
but I feels over time the game will settle to its rightful place. But he seems a wee bit eh from what I’ve heard of him.
It doesn’t help that all the people that interview are fan boys that don’t help his ego in the right way…. Just treat the guy like a normal guy .
But to say a game this this new is #1 cause of 850 or 900 ratings seems confusing ??? to
;
I’m just stating my personal opinion and just looking anyone agrees or has any feedback on this ..not trying to start any argument so that will be ignored
just looking for a nice discussion about this.
And guys I LOVE GZ
Maybe I need more time on it ??? I’ve got 700 plays

Quoted from AMartin56:

I've lit Monster Zero like three or four times now...
I swear I can't hit the building to save my life when it's lit. I've only successfully started it once LOL.
Is it just me? I'm decent with the same shot for Oxygen Destroyer but I guess the Monster Zero pressure gets to me.

Quoted from scootss:

Pinball uses the word "spot" (as in "I'll spot you 5 points" in a game - I'll give you 5 points for free)...but as the rules show "collect" is much clearer word!

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Why the zip ties? Looks like gz is secure up there without it

Quoted from freddy:

My God?
The Mando topper price bitch is justified !

Quoted from Salami_Inferno:

Probably not the most objective forum to ask, but I have an Elwin JP premium and I’m thinking of adding a Godzilla premium as a second machine. I’ve played Godzilla and have loved it. I’m curious if these two machines make a good pair. JP is more of a shooters machine so for casuals that play it there can be some challenge. It feels like GZ is more accessible for the most part with longer ball times.
What do you all think?

Quoted from Zablon:

I didn't really bitch about it, but I don't like it any more after seeing that and don't know why anyone's opinion would have changed.

Quoted from MasterBlaster:

Please add toppers that received NO additional modes with purchase. What a ripoff lol

Quoted from Salami_Inferno:

Yeah, just hoping for some video support too. From the instructions it looks fairly involved but maybe it isn’t as bad once you’re in there.
