Quoted from RussMyers:
I have a Scooby CE on order, but for anyone who is worried about it not being perfect out of the box, this is not my first time at the Rodeo.
I have been waiting 16 months (yes I know) for my Godzilla Premium and I just got and unboxed it 2 days ago.
Here's my experience:
Recent NIB GZ Premium:
Found bits of broken black plastic in bottom of cabinet. Looks like pieces of the rear playfield glass channel.
Sure enough, the center of the installed intact rear playfield glass channel bows downward in the middle, preventing me from simply sliding the glass all the way in.
Ordinarily, I'd simply loosen the screws holing the channel in and move it up a bit.
Can't do that because - no screws. Apparently this is now installed using double-sided tape, so I'll have to pry off the center part and move it up.
At the factory, someone must have mis-installed the first one and broken it getting it off. The second one was "mostly good" and they let it go out like that
Found a sticky greasy spray all over the inside of the cabinet on the right hand side in one area.
Realized it's the lube spray Stern uses on the metal sliding rails.
Someone got a little careless with the spray can and never cleaned it up.
Playfield clearcoat seems very thin - I can see the outlines of the inserts right through the clearcoat and feel them with my finger. Also has noticeable orange peel. Seems a drop in quality that should not happen.
People have posted that Stern stopped using the playfield centering brackets; those are back in now.
Needed the Abe Flips shooter lane fix - balls inconsistently rattling out of the shooter lane
Had balls going into the building lock and getting stuck at the gap between the metal subway and the VUK assy; did the "business card" fix. Seems to be working.
Had balls stuck next to the arm of Mechagodzilla (will do a plastic post/rubber fix)
Had balls stuck in the side of the rotating Mechagodzilla ramp (will do the hex post fix)
If people complain bout sloppy soldering on Spooky games, take a look at the soldering on some of the LED lamp boards in my GZ - blobby solder, not enough solder, drips. Sloppy jobs.
One guy recently unboxed his new GZ, building went up and down one time then went dead - bad Node 10 board, which others have had. Main toy Dead just out of the box.

Stop the credit card payment until Stern resolves it period. Easy and it is not up to you to fix, maybe screw or two but not that much!!!

Look at my Avatar and guess what, I don't own a Godzilla (grail pin) because it's a stern. I could list all the reasons why I will never own a Stern but I think you get it. My experiences with NIB: 2 pins with zero issues (knock on wood) till this day. 1- AFM Special re 2- Octoberfest. I really wanted Charlie to get the Godzilla license from TOHO but we all know how that went down. I will definingly buy a Spooky pin as soon as they come out with a theme I really like for my money. I wish nothing but the best for team Spooky.

This is a new feature that started with the James Bond PFs. Maybe the orange peel distracts from the eventual divots?

I've been adding protectors to all my Sterns now - it's a pain in the rear, but really the only option for me to not have 1000s of divots. I don't mind a few shallow ones like on a BLY/WMS or Spooky, but Sterns just get too many/too deep/too fast for my tastes.

Quoted from dtmail209:
Has Spooky released an outline of all the modes/goals/shots? Also, is there a way to pick what mode/villain you start in first?

From what I seen on the spooky stream the left spinner(not if both spinners cycle the mode)will cycle through the modes and you can hit the action button(on the lockdown bar)on the mode you want to lock in. I also think you can unlock the mode with the action button to try for a different mode if you accidentally locked the wrong mode in.

Quoted from guitarded:
Check all your mech fasteners.
My Pro came with over 50% of all the fastener screws broken / sheared off. Someone had their driver set to drill when they built that one.

I will do that next time I have the playfield flipped up.

Also why I hate power drivers; almost never use them for pinball.

Quoted from WizardsCastle:
I have a FF LE and PF LE on order as well, and I'm starting to feel like I might let one thing go.
If you were waiting on these 3 titles, and decided to give up one of them, would it be Scooby?

Well, first thing to consider is you won’t get your Pulp Fiction for at least a year. I LOL when people are saying they’ll get their games in October (when they say production will start). No. Way. It’s been almost 2 years and they ain’t made the CCRLEs yet.

I concur with the other poster - buy 3 stock models. 3 for the price of 2 is the intelligent way to go.

That is mostly correct. Prior to starting a case you can hit the left spinner to cycle the next villain. You can always see the current villain on the main inserts and magnifying glass on the playfield. That location will also become animated on the map, but once you have multiple cases complete that's not always the easiest to see. I did consider having the next villain being selectable once you enter the Mystery Machine, but preferred the more active selection process. It's the launch button that locks in the next villain.

Definitely prefer it this way, and it's also friendlier for new players who aren't expecting to have to look up to make a choice.

Anyone else find the right flipper to center ramp almost always rejects? Only a handful of shots make it… while shots from left flipper are far more forgiving. I gotta think its the geometry of the ramp… shooting against the curve.

I seem to be having a difficult time getting the mode to lock with the launch button. Is there an indication on the playfield when the mode is locked?

Lol I think it's ridiculous you'd not buy a dream theme because stern holds the license. Sorry, but that's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard, especially when people regard GZ as one of the best pins ever created. FYI a stern premium is cheaper and or around the same price as any other ce pin currently on the market so it can't be price as the reason.

I am showing October 9th. It will likely move to the left however.
Spooky is running roughly 30/wk right now, but when they hit their stride it may be as high as 40/wk.

Nice lineup! I’m just a 2-pin and it’ll be GZ and SDCE…I feel like GZ’s layout and Scoobs are so different they should tick different boxes nicely. Think the newbs and non pinball friends will love it too!

So a brief update on the Scooby we've had out at I/O Arcade. Now that it's been out there for a month, here are some takeaways and observations:

1. Highest played game we've ever had in a one month period - EVER (we've been doing this for 9 years now). Almost 30% higher than any other game in a one month period. It's popular with both casual and competitive players. Great lighting, callouts, and the theme definitely draws in all ages!

2. Initially had some issues to resolve such as upper flipper bolts that loosened, stuck balls, drop targets that needed slight adjustment, mystery machine VUK adjust, and a few other minor things that escape me at the moment. It was down about a day over the first week (mechanical and code related). Since then it's been up and running the whole time with routine maintenance, and still looks and plays fantastic. As with ANY new game (Spooky, Stern, JJP, AP, Dutch) the first week is always the toughest because things that are going to break do.

3. Code is important. Overall it was really fun to play straight away and modes were there, but the initial code that came with Scooby had some bugs in it that caused it to be down for a bit. Spooky corrected them very quickly and since then it's been solid. JJP is top notch in this aspect with very code complete games at launch. CGC and AP are generally quite complete, with Spooky and Stern bringing up the rear. Having mostly complete code at launch would be ideal from a stability standpoint. Yes it's fun to see how games improve over time as updates are made, but would be nice if all modes and primary features were ready at launch and then smaller bugfixes as needed from that point forward.

4. Spooky support is top notch. Period. Every single time we reached out they replied almost immediately and took care of the request in a quick and efficient manner. Bug and Luke - thank you!

5. New board set has been running great, is very clean and takes a TON of wires out of the game compared to previous Spooky titles.

6. I really wish the upper playfield was simpler to access for maintenance. Think of BK2K and Shadow where you can remove a bolt or two and it hinges up for easy access to flippers as well as the lower playfield for cleaning. Scooby requires some work to get off, kind of like GoT prem/LE.

7. Overall build quality is excellent. Solid feel to the game, and things have been holding up exceptionally well so far. Playfield looks just like it did on day one.

I'm excited to get my personal game in the coming weeks and spend some time actually PLAYING!

This is probably too much to ask, but if you have need to take off the upper playfield again, since you've done it once, a step-by-step series of pics or a video would be most welcome by everyone.

So a brief update on the Scooby we've had out at I/O Arcade. Now that it's been out there for a month, here are some takeaways and observations:
1. Highest played game we've ever had in a one month period - EVER (we've been doing this for 9 years now). Almost 30% higher than any other game in a one month period. It's popular with both casual and competitive players. Great lighting, callouts, and the theme definitely draws in all ages!
2. Initially had some issues to resolve such as upper flipper bolts that loosened, stuck balls, drop targets that needed slight adjustment, mystery machine VUK adjust, and a few other minor things that escape me at the moment. It was down about a day over the first week (mechanical and code related). Since then it's been up and running the whole time with routine maintenance, and still looks and plays fantastic. As with ANY new game (Spooky, Stern, JJP, AP, Dutch) the first week is always the toughest because things that are going to break do.
3. Code is important. Overall it was really fun to play straight away and modes were there, but the initial code that came with Scooby had some bugs in it that caused it to be down for a bit. Spooky corrected them very quickly and since then it's been solid. JJP is top notch in this aspect with very code complete games at launch. CGC and AP are generally quite complete, with Spooky and Stern bringing up the rear. Having mostly complete code at launch would be ideal from a stability standpoint. Yes it's fun to see how games improve over time as updates are made, but would be nice if all modes and primary features were ready at launch and then smaller bugfixes as needed from that point forward.
4. Spooky support is top notch. Period. Every single time we reached out they replied almost immediately and took care of the request in a quick and efficient manner. Bug and Luke - thank you!
5. New board set has been running great, is very clean and takes a TON of wires out of the game compared to previous Spooky titles.
6. I really wish the upper playfield was simpler to access for maintenance. Think of BK2K and Shadow where you can remove a bolt or two and it hinges up for easy access to flippers as well as the lower playfield for cleaning. Scooby requires some work to get off, kind of like GoT prem/LE.
7. Overall build quality is excellent. Solid feel to the game, and things have been holding up exceptionally well so far. Playfield looks just like it did on day one.
I'm excited to get my personal game in the coming weeks and spend some time actually PLAYING!

Can you provide the avg game time?

Appreciate the review U2sean. Have played at I/O a few different times on a short trip to Madison. Great place. First place we played Halloween. were contemplating a trip there for Scooby from Michigan. Haha. One turned up in Ohio though. Lots of good information in the review. Looking forward to the game. IMO, I'd just ignore some of the rather nonsensical follow-up questions. You have a business to run. Haha

Nonsensical? If you post on a thread people are going to ask questions.
