To be honest. If I had know Godzilla was going to be released and I could already have my premium home and playing it, i would not have ordered Ultraman. Which is only#89 but this doesn’t help when In Australia, as we have to wait for them all to be done and shipped or something along those lines even when we have arranged our own transport. Godzilla is already here.
I would much prefer to have a game and playing it than having to wait months and months on end with no time line on when it will be done.
With that being said I cant afford both and have no intention of selling Ultraman. So I must frustratingly wait. But I can definitely see why people are wanting to bail and with code being not to good yet with bugs. I know it will become great.

Nice. As this was a request I had asked about and was hoping for as well.
Thanks.

Any idea on when you maybe doing the Aussie batch.

I know it’s like not banging your girlfriend and saving her for the next bloke.

Yep. I have one on order. Just waiting patiently.
Is #89 kind of sucks having to wait so long even thought Spooky have long passed that order number and then the shipping times.

Yeah. Would be interesting to know many numbers of Halloween and Ultraman that are coMing to Australia.

That question even by email always falls on deaf ears.
Well hopefully all the Quality Control issues are sorted prior to shipping to Aus and we are not required to remedy too much.

I am number #89 and still waiting patiently as will all the Aussie and NZ orders. So hopefully we get an email soon as we also have shipping delays to contend with. Could take an extra 6-10 weeks once it leaves their factory

Yay!!
Finally got my email for Butter cab request. Not going butter as some delays and I would miss shipping to OZ.
So for the other guys from Australia you should also be getting your email too.
Now I am excited again.

Would love to do butter. As the artwork is amazing. But then I would have to arrange my own shipping to Australia. As I have already looked in to that it was close to $2000AUD and another $1465AUD for butter it’s getting way up there. Almost $3500 extra. Not really worth that much to just have Butter.
Oh well.

Hi all.
Finally going to get my Ultraman.
Is there a list of must haves in this one. Fuses req, Are Titans needed etc. any other tidbits of help.

Thanks in Advance.

This is definitely not good enough. The quality control seems to be lacking in these pins. Seems like a mixed bag of luck.
This is definitely poor on the part of Spooky. Not everyone has the tools, equipment or know how in to fix all the issues that have been arising. Good luck if you are overseas and need a part or help or repairs done.
More out of pocket money to have an expensive pinball tech come out to fix up a machine that should be working and not have all these issues.
In saying that I am still looking forward to finally receiving mine. However a little apprehensive as if I need to fix shit or mess around too much with it. It will just sit there until I get the time. Could be months. And expensive dust collector I am for seeing at the moment

Yeah I understand that. But buying from new with as many faults poor choice in materials and shoddy
Workmanship is unacceptable for the price paid. If you new car had this many faults pretty sure you wouldn’t be happy. Or a new TV Cinema set up etc. you would be asking for a replacement. New lounge suite that was coming apart at the Sri hi g and frame buckled. Reclining Mechanism not working. Pretty sure you wouldn’t won’t to be fixing them yourself.

Ain’t that the truth.
But from a new pin, apart from a couple of set up, a couple of tweaks and some basic cleaning and maintenance it should be smooth sailing for many many games.
But this is not the case here.
I just think they can do better and should do better. Hopefully their next one will show this. I don’t think it is asking too much of a company that wants my hard earned.
I have pins over 20years old and run and operate smoothly without so much as lifting the glass but for only a clean and wax. So there is something in it to say about quality control and material selection.

Well that is an upside from purchasing through Spooky for sure.

blockquote cite="#7185577">You probably already know this, but it’s not just spooky with NIB issues. I’ve had NIB issues with AP and Stern. Personally I’ve had the most issues with Stern NIB because they WILL NOT help you at all from a customer service perspective. At least both AP and Spooky will treat you like a VIP person and help you out…but those are just my experiences.

I received my Ultraman down here in Oz.
Some minor adjustments required only to top roll over switches with ball hang ups.
I put about 100 plays on it and felt something was missing. Speed!
So I made some adjustments and much better. Can still be a little slow at times but that happens on all machines. Approx 400 or so games on it now. But just my 2 cents worth.

I know there is new code coming.
Also felt like the the loops are hard but you should be rewarded.
Double points for double loops shots
Triple point for triple loop shots and So on. I have only ever really hit a double. Maybe this already happens but would be good to have a call out.
I would like to see the loop shots add up. So each 5 loop shots increases combo scoring and say at 20 loop shots super combo mode. Timed mode for super combos or add a ball combos.
Could do similar with ramps. Say 50 ramp shots total could equal extra ball. But have to knock down 3 standups then head quarters standup and then across the runway. Ball holds. New ball shoots out. Get back to head quarters and shoot drop down and the across runway to get extra ball plus 2 ball multi with ball locked on runway. Both balls drop.

Or so many ramp shots will reset the super skill shot ball hold to green. Even If you got the super skill shot at the start and it had been used.

And then after so many ramps and loops have been made together maybe a mini wizard mode.
Not sure if this suits but I think soMething extra needs to be there.
Even Baltan timed add a ball multi ball.30 seconds to shoot lit baltans or 3 at start and ball added when you hit lit scoop. Until 30 secs is over then you continue with what balls you got extra with extra points
for hitting Baltan scoops or targets.
Who knows. Maybe I am just rambling
But so far the game is great. And can’t wait for more code.

Or evey 3 to 5 loops collects a Science patrol membernand when all collected a science patrol multiball stayed by hitting Science patrol skill shot.

No. I just suggesting g something should be done with total loop shots. It is fun hitting 2,3 ,4 loops at that speed.
I would like to see Science patrol member collected though after so many ‘lit’ loops. And if you could select which member it changes play a little on which shots to get more points or soMething.
I am no coder just a regular player that ordered a UM unseen and put faith in Spooky, and it is only a suggestion just like the many others that have been posted at some poiNt. As I find it is definitely missing something in this area. And I am sure the new code will rectify and alleviate a lot of the lacking areas. But that’s just me and each to their own.

In the early stages.

Wooohoo!

Thanks Spooky Team
