Kineticist’s take
Stern announces Godzilla pinball with major price increases and rapid LE sell-out despite niche theme.
Synopsis
The The Pinball Show hosts Dennis Creasel and Zach Minney discuss the official announcement of Stern Pinball's Godzilla machine, designed by Keith Elwin with art by Jeremy Packer (Zombie Yeti). The episode covers significant pricing increases across all Stern titles (Pro +$700, Premium +$1,200, LE +$1,300), attributed to connectivity parts, supply chain issues, freight scarcity, and labor costs. Production timelines show rapid domestic rollout starting in early October, with LE units sold out within hours. The hosts also discuss game features including an industry-first Magna-Grab magnetic catch system and motorized collapsing building toy exclusive to Premium/LE models.
