Godzilla

"Godzilla LE, baby. Went up a little bit. Still the greatest game maybe of all time. Is it number one? Is it number two? Is Jaws number one right now?"

Godzilla LE is maybe the greatest game of all time

"There is a rumor going around that Stern has sold 27,000 Godzilla's... I just don't believe that Godzilla is now the greatest selling pinball machine of all time. I think if they crossed that threshold, they would have announced something."

Godzilla hasn't actually beaten Addams Family's sales record despite rumors

"I think this move by Stern is a smart one. I think it's going to work out for them. I think their dealers and their distros have needed something like this."

Godzilla Black and White Edition is a smart business move for Stern and will sell well

"there's just something missing though. It's just not popping. It's not like wowing me over and maybe I need to see it in person with the foil cabinet. But you know, there's just something about black and white just doesn't jump out at you as much as the full color version"

Black and white Godzilla lacks visual impact compared to full color version

"if you want one of the greatest pinball machines ever made, you can have it brand new"

Godzilla 60th Anniversary is one of the greatest pinball machines ever made

"I also just think people are in a little bit of denial that it is clearly the nicest version of Godzilla and I'm not trying to be mean to you if you have one, but you have to admit it. This thing is damn nice."

Godzilla Black and White Premium is the nicest version of the game

"It's easily Keith Elwin's best game, maybe Stern's best game of all time."

Godzilla is Keith Elwin's best game and maybe Stern's best of all time

"I think this is the nicest version of the game and did you hear what George Gomez said? You're going to make accessories that go specifically for this black and white version of the game so a black and white topper, black and white inner art blades"

Godzilla Black and White 70th Anniversary Edition is the nicest version of the game

"I'd rather have a ninety six hundred dollar black and white Godzilla than a fifteen thousand dollar Elton John collector's edition it's almost six thousand dollars more for that Elton John and not for nothing people this Godzilla black and white will pop in a collection just as much as that Elton John"

Godzilla Black and White is better value than Elton John Collector's Edition

"the reason why I think there's a lot of hate and I mean this, there's a lot of hate towards this version of Godzilla is that if you have one, you're never going to admit that this is nicer than the game you have"

People hate the black and white Godzilla because they can't admit it's nicer than what they own

"it is arguably maybe Stern's best pinball machine of all time. It is ranked number one on the pinside top 100"

Godzilla is arguably Stern's best pinball machine of all time

"this is the number one game of all time. It is, like if you just look at the Pinside top 100, it is number one, it is arguably the best game Stern has ever made"

Godzilla is the number one game of all time and Stern's best machine

"It is considered by many to be the greatest Stern machine ever and it pretty much checks every single box. It's got a very unique layout. It feels like a game in which Stern put a lot of toys into the game that you can see when you walk up to the machine."

Godzilla is considered the greatest Stern machine ever and checks every box

"Has any machine since Godzilla been as good as Godzilla? No. And I know Godzilla is a high benchmark, but that's two years and 13 Pinball companies releasing products into the world and we're not really moving forward with every release."

No pinball machine since Godzilla has matched its quality

"every single time we are sorely disappointed. I mean, Godzilla was cool and all. Don't get me wrong. But come on, man, they made a Godzilla pinball machine in which Godzilla physically does nothing."

Stern disappoints with lack of mechanical innovation, specifically citing Godzilla

"Godzilla Limited Edition was the last great buy you will ever get from Stern directly. It was loaded. It had all the assets. It was Keith Elwin."

Godzilla LE was the last great value buy directly from Stern

"We're definitely seeing a slowing down in the pinball market. And I also think a lot of it has to do with there hasn't really been a home run game since Godzilla. There hasn't really been a take my money now game like that game."

Market is slowing down due to lack of home run games since Godzilla

"Let me tell you right now, you're not going to get your money's worth on the Godzilla topper. You're going to pay $1,000 for something I guarantee you, Stern makes for $100. You will pay $1,000 for something that I bet costs are in $100 to make."

Prediction: The Godzilla topper that costs $1,000 only costs Stern about $100 to make, so buyers won't get their money's worth.

"There is at most and I mean this at most there is less than $50 in lighting costs in this $1000 topper. It just looks like it should cost like 350 bucks. It's $1000."

Godzilla topper is overpriced at $1000 for $50 worth of lighting

"Here's my prediction on Godzilla again with a thousand LEs. If you're a collector, just wait. These games are going to keep sinking down lower and lower, especially if two things happen. Keith Elwood makes a new game that people enjoy even mor"

Prediction: Godzilla games will keep sinking lower in value, especially if Keith Elwin makes a new popular game.

"It's a Keith Elwin pin. What else do you have to say? It's one of the best shooting pins Stern Pinball has ever made... There's something about that silver armor that's really boring"

Godzilla LE by Stern is excellent gameplay but niche theme and boring visuals

"I think Godzilla is the new benchmark in all of pinball. And I mean it when I say it. I think Godzilla is the new benchmark. We are really going to measure everything against Godzilla."

Godzilla is the new benchmark for all pinball machines

"They've got this amazing game, probably their best game of all time. You could argue it might be their best game of all time."

Godzilla is probably Stern's best game of all time

"It is shaping up to be maybe one of the best pinball machines overall of all time."

Godzilla is getting better with code updates and people love it

"The game just keeps getting better and better and better... Every code update is making this game much, much better."

Godzilla is an exceptional game that keeps improving with code updates

"If there's one thing you shouldn't do on a pinball machine, it's Mix Artist... I would not have Zombie Eddie's artwork interrupted with a classic Godzilla poster."

Don't mix artists on pinball machine artwork, especially Godzilla translites

"Oh, Chris, come on, it's Godzilla... Oh my God, oh my God, I could sell a hundred of them."

Godzilla is the most in-demand Stern title ever

"I would argue that Godzilla is the main attraction this year in the pinball world and everything else was sort of in the shadow of that big lizard."

Godzilla was the main attraction of 2021 pinball

"I sold my Godzilla LE... That means by buying Godzilla LE and selling it, I will get Toy Story for basically 50% off. 50% off... I will only own pinball machines from now on. That are dream themes and are amazing games. And those two things have to happen."

Sold Godzilla LE to fund Toy Story purchase at 50% discount and prioritize dream themes only

Godzilla might be the best Stern machine ever

"I would go nowhere near a Godzilla pro I'm sorry stern finally engineered the most amazing mechs I would go nowhere near the pro you need to get that building that building is one of the coolest mechs stern is ever done"

Godzilla Pro is inferior due to missing toys and mechs, premium is necessary

"I love this art package. If someone is saying that it's slightly oversaturated, sure, fine. I hear that. Well, I can tell you right now, if we look at the just over 3,000 pinball machines created, there's no panel of incredible artists on the planet who wouldn't look at the Godzilla art package and say, it's incredible."

Godzilla artwork package is incredible despite criticism

"I think when people see this game in person, I mean this, I think when you see this game in person, you're going to be blown away. And everyone complaining about this or that is going to eat crow and you're all going to want one."

Godzilla artwork complaints will be proven wrong when people see the game in person

"I like what Zombie Eddie did with this art package... This was never going to be a Christopher Franchi like game... Zombie Eddie likes to take on challenges where he creates his version of something and he has definitely done that with this Godzilla"

Zombie Yeti's Godzilla artwork is very colorful but may be too busy

"there is more going on in this game than almost two or three Stern machines combined... The multi level building, the bridge that collapses, all the fun wire forms, the rotating target, the single pop bumper, the three flippers, this game has a lot to shoot"

Godzilla has impressive mechanics and is packed with features

"I have $11,000 put aside in my savings account with an earmark for Godzilla LE. And I'm going to tell you why I'm getting this game."

Buying Godzilla LE sight unseen for multiple compelling reasons

"this game is going to be either a humongous success for Stern pinball or maybe a huge disappointment if it does not live up to the expectations of the pinball world"

Godzilla will be either a huge success or disappointment for Stern, but likely a juggernaut hit due to Keith Elwin and Zombie Yeti involvement

"I'm here to tell you right now that Godzilla LE will be the first Stern LE to cost more than $10,000. This thing I think is going to be between $10,200 and $10,500."

Godzilla LE will be first Stern LE to cost over $10,000

"This is the game that I think is going to show everybody that Stern pinball is the Godzilla of the pinball industry and this is going to stop on everyone who's been talking so much trash about Stern pinball over the years"

Godzilla will be Keith Elwin's best work and Stern's biggest release in years

"the next Stern Pinball machine is Godzilla by Keith Elwin with zombie Eddie on artwork. It is not going to be something else. It's not co-name for something else. That game is coming out next you should see that game in mid-September"

Next Stern game is Godzilla by Keith Elwin with Zombie Yeti art

"I don't think Godzilla is a cornerstone theme. I don't. I really don't. I know that it's a very popular franchise. I know it's been around for a very long time. But again, I keep getting back to this thing of what grown men do you know between the ages of 40 and 60. If you were to list their dream pinball themes, how many of them are saying Godzilla?"

Godzilla is not a cornerstone theme for pinball - questions how many grown men 40-60 would list it as their dream theme

"I think Godzilla is a theme that's pretty niche... I think it's a little bit of a bee level theme. I really do. I think it's more of a campy, nerdy sort of sci-fi guy's theme."

Keith Elwin working on Godzilla - good designer but B-level niche theme

"Godzilla Pinball from Stern LE is going to stop into the Pinball world tomorrow and it is going to take all of your money out of all of your wallets. This is the game."

Godzilla Pinball LE will be a groundbreaking game that revolutionizes pinball with 3D world under glass
