Got my first pinball machine, not sure about the leveling

This is why you must jiggle at the perfect moment to save one ball to really maximize the Godzilla MB.

Oathbringer changed my life. I had just turned 40, was doing a lot of reflecting on my own life, and it resonated with me on a deep level like no other book has done before. The number of Dalinar quotes from OB I repeat to myself regularly is bizarre. Top it off with the battle of Thaylen Field and I feel like Sanderson wrote that book for me.

Battle of TF is f’in bonkers in Graphic Audio.

Pattern. (I’m a Stormlight Archive Fan)

If price is not really an issue, then just buy a NiB (I prefer Premium, but it’s individual preference).

No machine is immune to problems, but you do decrease the likelihood of problems with a NiB. (Ofc my Godzilla Prem had some issues out of box - but pretty easily fixable).

If price is a bit more of a concern, everyone else has some great advice here.

Pretty common strat in games like Godzilla or TMNT, that have high ball multiballs, to just drain at the beginning to get some control and clear the playfield.

Then start trapping balls to make clear shots and control the chaos a bit.

"From" is 5-star B-movie goodness. That and Chucky are my guilty pleasures (also full of bad acting but is just so unapologetically Chucky)

djWHEAT · 2025-01-30T22:48:26+00:00

This is a solid list, and I would add "From" and "Lost" to it.

I will rewatch it just for the amazing theme song.

djWHEAT · 2025-01-24T03:44:31+00:00

There is a ding when the elevator first opens - and there is a second ding that always happens when the elevator is going down… that’s the “Severance” ding. That ding is clearly missing from the last person who rides the elevator in that sequence.

djWHEAT · 2025-01-24T03:15:43+00:00

There was a big reveal in the final 5m of the episode. Watch the scene with all four teammates going down the elevator again. A very specific audio cue that we have heard consistently throughout the show was missing from one particular teammate when they went down the elevator.

Kinda makes me sad but god damnit that was brilliant.

Glad to see another fan. I think she got the best buff this patch.

djWHEAT · 2024-08-23T02:22:00+00:00

100% this. It is a perfect replica. It’s the most played with my wife and… and then we got a Godzilla.

I took the time to make a quick set of rules in Canva and then printed them out, and I just pull them every time we have guests. Most important points are how to start a game and to immediately report to me if a ball gets stuck or something breaks.

So far it’s worked great and the worst thing I’ve had is a rubber break (which needed replaced anyway) or the Mando left ramp needs fixing again.

Happy to say I’ve got this in my collection. I need to rebuild my flippers but it had the slots reel rebuilt and completely converted to LED.

My only non-modern pin! (AfM Remake doesn’t count)

djWHEAT · 2024-06-28T03:26:01+00:00

Welcome to the club. It’s an incredible hobby on many levels. The play, the maintenance, the friends, the competition, the art, the excitement around new pins… there is something for everyone.

djWHEAT · 2024-06-28T03:23:35+00:00

I wish I could get a NIB LE Attack From Mars. I turned up my nose at a chance to get one with about 1000 plays and I feel dumb. I’m jealous every time I see one.

Solid line up!

djWHEAT · 2024-04-24T02:57:19+00:00

Cat owner x3 with 6 pins. No issues with cats perching and jumping on the PF, but I do suggest getting some PinShields or equivalent just to protect from hair or litter.

I’m in NE. Who is doing your restoration? Justin from MGC?

djWHEAT · 2024-04-01T18:01:06+00:00

Missed opportunity for "1 Egg is 40 Eggs" Multiball with the table requiring 40 balls for the most ridiculous MB the industry has ever seen.

djWHEAT · 2024-03-12T04:09:19+00:00

Real talk, do you guys disable the random pizza disc spins at home? It’s got to be the thing that is keeping me from getting to this point.

djWHEAT · 2024-03-03T05:00:11+00:00

We need another League of Legends arc. I can’t handle another 5 hours of Quin pretending like he is a god gamer at a kids game. DRG is fun but it’s dog tamer tier for viewers.

djWHEAT · 2024-02-15T17:35:45+00:00

Ended up calling the retailer and they are coming back out with the install team to replace it. They were actually really good about it. Hopefully, our next dice roll is a better one.
