Happy to post that I am joining the Avengers Team and will be fighting for justice and freedom hopefully Thursday night! I found one of the last (I assume) NIB Hulk LE's. Driving 10 hours roundtrip this week with a buddy of mine to pick it up. Can't wait. I played this pin for the first time ever last week, and I loved it immediately. The unusual layout, tight shots, awesome paths the ball takes, unique geometry. I know there are endless threads about tweaks, fixes and mods, and I'm up for it. I enjoy working on my pins and doing a few tasteful mods almost as much as playing. I had to work hard to get my GB to work the way it does now, and we love that game. Airballs were a nightmare, just to name one huge issue. I hear there are some tweaks needed here too, which is fine. I've ordered the Hooked tesseract mod, and the clear plastics to allow LOKI to be read. I hear there is a Stern kit with some fixes if you contact them with your serial number? I didn't buy the $190 Loki mod, and I'm waiting to see how essential it is. I do intend to add a color DMD, soon. Any other mods people really like, I'm interested in hearing about or seeing. I know there is another thread for that. PM me if you have pics.

Any essential adjustments that really improved gameplay that people would like to share with me to help me maximize my experience right out of the box? I'm planning on spending a few hours on this before I start playing it much. I really want to avoid being bummed by anything clumsy or frustrating.

In any event, looking forward to posting on the "what machine did I bring home today" thread on Thursday or Friday, and I'll update on here too with pics of my NIB Hulk. Can't wait to cut that box open and free that Hulk, who must be ready to smash some $#*@ after being boxed up for nearly 7 years!

I will need to do a massive code update too, since I'm sure code has come a long way since boxing up this guy.

He made it home! Hulk has been freed at last!!!

Happy to join the A Club.

Thanks, everyone. I bought it from a Pinside member in Rockford, IL who has purchased many pins over the years. This is the 2nd pin I’ve bought from him.

I did update the code, and I’m replacing the Tesseract. I will adjust Hulk too. My BW ramp works fine and direct shots make the turn no problem. It’s a tight shot, but definitely fair. I will contact Stern for the repair kit too.

Thanks again! So far, we really love the game. A couple friends want to trade for it down the road, which is a nice option. It may be a keeper tho!

I just bought a Hulk LE, and today I called and spoke with Chaz in tech support at Stern. I asked about the free upgrade kit and Chaz said they still have them to send out. He said he was sending the kit right away. I gave him my address and serial # for my Hulk. Now to figure out where everything goes.

I actually really like this game a lot. My wife and I love GG designs. We have LOTR and BDK too. I had a few people reach out when I posted picks from the night I opened it, and I was surprised how much interest people showed. (Simply because of the unfair criticism it seems to get). When dialed in, it plays beautifully. Some shots are very unique. I personally love the BW ramp, and the left orbit/LOKI ramp shot is stellar. Reminds me of the right orbit/ramp shot on Dialed In.

Anyway, so I just took a flyer to see what the market would bear, because my wife’s Bday is next week. I promised no more buying/adding pins unless I sell or trade. She really wants a MB, another GG masterpiece. I found a deal to bring home a new MBr for our gorgeous Hulk! (She doesn’t know yet).

So, truly nothing but love for the Hulk and this awesome machine. I really searched to find a new one, and had a blast doing mods and playing it for the time I had it. Would absolutely add this one to the mix again someday!
