The Godfather (LE)
Jersey Jack, 2023Quoted from VisitorQ:Godfather burning up the charts at #40. lol
All I can say is that I really love this game. It just seems to have that "Just one more game" after each game feeling. Soooo satisfying to cash out a job with a high multiplier during a stacked multi ball! It'll be in my collection for a long time, if not forever.

People who get it, get it!
Quoted from VisitorQ:On another note it looks like JJP is continuing to roll out the CEs.
The pictures on Facebook the last week or so were for export. Note the single slot coin doors. And they posted that.
I hope they get to the domestic ones soon.
LTG : )
I’m in the club, just waiting on my LE to ship. Does this game need flipper cooling fans? Any true must have mods? Thanks in advance.
Also…is this the true club thread? It is in the JJP section rather than the club section…is there another club thread? If not, I’ll move this one over to clubs.

No, and very no. Resist the temptation to glue tacky crap all over it.

Yes this is the club thread . I don't think the Op would mind if it got the club symbol put in front of it .
No must have mods but black mirror blades look great on it .

Yeah I look forward to receiving mine as well.

Alright, moved to the clubs section.
How easy are the mirror blades to instal? I know JJP games are hard to do side blades on.

Thanks for sorting out the club section .
Mirror blades are easy as to install if you lift out the Playfield .
Be sure to get blade protectors .

Yes
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Does the CE come with art blades?
And beautiful ones… 
IMG_8436 (resized).jpegQuoted from Insanity199:Just got invoiced for my CE balance. Hopefully that means it will ship relatively soon.
Excellent. Means they are building domestic ones now, not export.
Can't wait to get news on mine.

Who'd you go through to order?

Cool details!
And ... the power of the artist's brush demonstrated again (a slimmed down Franchi on the CE backglass).
Quoted from VisitorQ:CE's are shipping? Could be one hell of a 4th!
Let's Go!

This habit 'er, hobby constantly reminds me of my youth. Like when we used to go to Chinatown in San Francisco for the "good fireworks". Cheers to those who secured a CE!

Where is the best place to order the black mirror blades from? I’ve never heard of blade protectors, before…new product?

Apparently there's only one place you can get black mirror blades in the US .

Blade protectors have been around for a while .
Available at pinball life .
If you want to see some pictures .

While I don't think there are any must have mods , the horse head Shooter Rod looks pretty good .

IMG_20230614_225911 (resized).jpgI'm assuming it's still going to be a while until I get mine. If I had to guess, they won't start on domestic CEs until mid-July. I'm literally one of the last ones on the distributors list.
I'm hoping mine will be in by Labor Day.
Viva Italia!

Check out 10 posts above , apparently CE's for the US are on the line .

Seriously?
Don't they do international first?

5 days ago JJP posted this video on insta
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtSElO2rrOo/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
and it’s clear that these, like LTG mentioned, international pins with one slot coin door.
pasted_image (resized).pngCE's have been on the line since the beginning of June (almost two weeks now). I just got invoiced for the remaining balance on my domestic CE yesterday. That would be an indication that either domestics are beginning on the line or will be shortly. I guess we will see.

I ordered the same day it was annouced, no invoice yet. Did you order the first day?
Quoted from Laithan:I ordered the same day it was annouced, no invoice yet. Did you order the first day?
I’m a first day order. I put my order in around 8pm. Right after they were sold out with my distributor.
I don’t mind the wait. Gives me time to save up.
Quoted from Laithan:I ordered the same day it was annouced, no invoice yet. Did you order the first day?
I ordered pretty early but through a distributor. All I know is that they invoiced me and I paid it. Would be a real bummer if it is still months out and they asked for final payment.

I have so much to do, I don't mind the wait either... if this damn thing would just hurry up and get here! lmao! hah
all kidding aside, I'm patient. It is summer time now so I'm doing outdoor stuff.

Interesting.. IMO the fact that they collected the balance now vs when you bought it definitely indicates movement, logically anyway. Gtz!
I don't think there is enough evidence to support this as a factual "conclusion" but it sounds like we have 3 first day orders, 2 direct with JJP and one through a distributor. The distributors are far better customers than us onzie twozie buyers so if they got priority, it would actually make some sense. Aside from that, I would just hope that the day you placed the order directly correlates to when you are asked to give payment and therefore defines the sequence of who gets the games first. This is my first JJP and I have no idea how they prioritize so I and others will learn from other's feedback as we go. 
Excited, hoping to get mine soon. I ordered a CE through JJP within 15 minutes, but haven't heard anything yet. Don't know if you all saw, but excited that the CE model comes with both heads (Furious Floyd and Big Mike) for the gangster toy.

Cointaker had me wait over a year after taking payment for PB Alien delivery….
Quoted from c818919taylor:Cointaker had me wait over a year after taking payment for PB Alien delivery….
And that is my concern. I have not received a response to my email inquiry. If they sent me a final invoice now and it doesn't ship for months, it will be my first and last purchase from them. However, until I know otherwise, will give them the benefit of the doubt.
Quoted from c818919taylor:Cointaker had me wait over a year after taking payment for PB Alien delivery….
I doubt JJP will take that long to ship them out.

Others have reported similar with TBL payments. Hopefully, apples and oranges in terms of Godfather orders though given JJP is a totally different manufacturer as well as located in US.

For sure, JJP wont be long. But I do think Cointaker is early.

I did not. Where did you see this?

In a perfect world that would be the case .
I asked Jack about the CE's shipping , if they were going to make all the ones for Australia at the same time and he said they have to spread them out amongst all the different countries .
With so few coming down under , I was hoping they would make them all at once but with LEs not flying off the shelves maybe they will .
Even in the US , I don't think it would be practical to go back and forth between distributors to fill up a container or truck .
Having an issue where a solid shot to the left orbit comes screaming down the middle and it's becoming a bit of a buzzkill when it happens on a good ball.
Game is dead level, any tips for adjusting the guides before I start ripping things apart to correct? Thanks!
Quoted from Willybillwill:Don't know if you all saw, but excited that the CE model comes with both heads (Furious Floyd and Big Mike) for the gangster toy.
That's so cool , I like both of them and that's the best extra I've heard of for a goodie bag .
Maybe they ordered a couple thousand Furious Floyd's and thought what the hell are we going to do with all of these but either way I'm stoked .
Quoted from tourney9000:Just waiting for my CE[quoted image]
Tourney , I thought you looked familiar

Both character heads would be cool indeed.
Has anyone confirmed that this is actually a goodie bag extra?

Fuck knows but I'm going with it until told otherwise

Having the same issue. It's brutal. Curious to see if anyone has an answer. Was going to dig in and try to adjust rails this weekend.
