it’s tough, the pro seems like it shoots great but the game is so barren in terms of assets that it feels like an incomplete game. At least the prem has a lot of additional mechanical features that makes the package feel more robust. I think IF stern eventually improves the sound and animation package significantly the pro will be the better value.

I have a premium. Have not played a pro. But i would really miss the tower ball lock. And the marvel ramp really is cool

Tower ball lock is on the pro

Ive played the pro and biught a premium (something i thought id never do)
Im a pro fan 99% of the time. I prefer MET pro to premium and think the extra money from MAIDEN pro to premium is a waste.
Avengers however....
I could do without the subway but the rising portal is a great visual cue that things are ready. Easy to miss on a pro. That Captain Marvel shot was and js part of the big draw for me. It is a very satisfying shot that feed to the flippers. On the pro the Captain Marvel horseshoe is the easiest shot on the playfield but it loses all momentum and trickles out of the Black Panther orbit. Very UNsatisfying. The Antman vuc also change the game by feeding the flippers on the premium. Not only is it nice to have more flipper feeds but in some modes having the vuc changes the entire flow of the mode or quest. Soul Gem for example. It start by feeding your right flipper. A shot to the Black Widow ramp and you are set up for you first shot which is the Black Panther orbit. On the pro, you just kind of hope to get some control early once the upper post drops.

Pro is a GREAT game and i would own one but this is the first Stern title in a while that if it is within your means, GO PREMIUM!!

Also it has the best art package

I prefer the art package on the premium and love the captain marvel ramp and subway as well. Great game!

I very pleased with my premium purchase.

I plan on going Prem on this, but the Subway is pretty underwhelming. Loud clicking mech that you have to lean over to look at if you even care to, which you wouldn;t after you're first play.

I only played the pro on site a couple times and it seems like its missing something...it sits next to a deadpool pro and the last 2 times I went..I passed on the Avengers and played deadpool

It’s like watching transporter... but without the coolness of looping around. What’s up w/ that?!?

Big ol flow stopper is what it is.

The extra ramp is nice but I can live without it. Plus I'm a spinner freak so no complaints on the compromise. Nothing else is really important on the Pre/Le for me. However call outs suck and the theme in general for me is lacking so I might have to own a used one to flip for a bit otherwise not interested.

I thought prem for sure but after playing both, that subway system sucks. Period.

Captain marvel ramp is the only thing that would make this tough and it's very impressive in person but not sure 2k.

If I was buying one, I'm prob going pro.

I have only played a premium, I like it but I am interested to play the pro

Played Pro and bought Premium.
Premium is the way to go on this one.
Normally I go Pro (GB, GOTG, IMDN, TMNT), but here Premium rules.

The lifting disk and Marvel ramp really add to the game. Wish it had a kickback on one of the outlanes but otherwise slowly becoming a all time favorite of mine. Now put Thanos back in the code already....

Agreed!

Premium for this and Stranger Things (snagged a killer deal on one and it's a lot of fun!). Coin toss for GOT and Maiden. Pro for the rest.

Any premium/LE players have issues with the extra ramp rejecting the ball on a solid shot? Is there some adjustability there if it’s an issue? I saw this is some of the early YouTube vids, haven’t played a premium yet but I did enjoy the pro game.

Some solid solutions over in the AIQ owners thread https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/official-avengers-infinity-quest-owners-thread-pinsiders-assemble

I looked through the pinned posts in that thread again and don’t see this question addressed, am I missing something? Sorry I am new to these boards, it’s a little tough to navigate.

I attached a piece of plex the the side and now i can chain Black Widow to Captain Marvel over and over and over again until i get my portal locks.

Thanks for the assist on this, exactly what I was wondering about! Looks like it belongs there and solves the problem it sounds like.
