We are having launch party for the Premium on 12/10. In addition to the Stern swag, we are giving away the Show-Era Films Blu-ray set. We are undecided on which achievement one must obtain in order to win that prize. GC gets the plaque, group match play winner gets the translite. Any suggestions for the Blu-ray set?

Quoted from eyeamred2u:

Was the Swag Bag only with the LE models?

Stern gave us a launch party kit but it didn't come with the machine.

Quoted from RoyalJack:

Godzilla Multiball Champion? Loop Champion?

Godzilla Multiball seems fair.

So what is the fix/protection for the plastic above the magnet on a premium? Mine just broke today.

Definitely recommend this for any Premium or LE owner.

Is that the Stern fix? Or who is making those?

Chrome Candy makes it.

Bridge keeps getting stuck. Anyone else have this happen? I’ve had GZ since September and this is the first time.

#12212 1 year ago
Quoted from Nokoro:

What do you mean stuck? Not moving at all? Try loosening the screws on the front plastics. Pull them apart to create a bit of a gap and retighten?
If it’s not that, did you add anything into the coil sleeve to limit the motion of the arm to prevent the bridge plastic from cracking? If so, it could be you added something that’s now sticking up in the coil sleeve.

Bridge will go down then get stuck coming back up. Ball will get hung up there until ball search.
I’ll try loosening the screws like you suggested. I haven’t touched the coil sleeve and haven’t added anything.

#12214 1 year ago
Quoted from Nokoro:

So if the bridge is getting stuck down, maybe something in the coil or mech is binding. Does it get stuck if you just move it with your hand? What do you mean the ball gets hung up there? Perhaps take a video.

Right truss of the bridge goes down, doesn’t come up and the ball will get stuck the next time the ball goes through the building and over the bridge.

I was able to move it with my hand. Seems like something is not in place as it should be making the trusses hit each other thus getting stuck.

Worked yesterday of course lol. I’ll have more time to check it out tomorrow

Here’s a video.

Quoted from Nokoro:

Yep, like I said, loosen the screws, move the plastic pieces apart a bit, and retighten.

It was actually the nut underneath that was loose. Once tightened all is good.

I am getting credit for loops I haven’t made. I suspect the rollover switch is being triggered when the bridge goes up and down and when the shaker activates. Anyone else have this issue before?

What’s the best way to get to the Building Hit opto? Switch 52. Mine isn’t registering. I can’t seem to get to them from below so I’m afraid it’s going to require disassembling part of the building.

#16282 1 year ago
Quoted from drbrain:

madamyates Are you talking about the game going into ball search and not finding the balls after they go into the trough below the bldg for ball lock? If so this can be something different that I can explain.

Not that issue. It goes into the building and loops back around immediately without acknowledging it went into the building. Switch #52, Building Hit Opto is the one not registering.

#16285 1 year ago
Quoted from drbrain:

Ok got ya. Haven’t had that one yet, sorry.

Dang, I am thinking more and more that I’ll need to disassemble the building to get to that switch.

After 30,000 plays we had the bottom left rail break from inside the building. Had a local guy weld it back on. Looks indestructible now.

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

Can you post photos of the game?

Sure, give me a day and I’ll post a bunch.

#23599 8 months ago
Quoted from WizzardRob:

Wow 30000 is a lot. How does the game hold up in general? Any issues or frequent failures?
At home i dont have near as much use, but basically no mechanical issues at all after 3000 plays (LOTS of restarts obviously).

It has held up pretty great considering it's a first run and the number of plays. I have had to replace the building entry opto receiver twice and rebuild flippers but nothing crazy until this building weld. Tomorrow is the weekly cleaning day so I'll post some photos of it.

A few people asked about flipper counts on 31,000 plays.

In case anyone is wondering, the lifetime of a shooter rod spring is apparently 40,000 plays.

Stern is telling me to purchase an entire plastic kit in order to get a plastic 08, part #510-7835-08 replacement. "Buy the full kit and you'll still need to rivet it yourself." That's completely ridiculous.

Would anyone happen to have a spare? This is the plastic above the scoop.

Quoted from tscottn:

Are you talking about the plastic sign that lights Kaiju Battle, Power up and summon ally?

Yeah, bottom piece.
