Just picked up a super low-use Hulk LE the other day for a price I just couldn't turn down and I'm working on fixing all the little frustrating things now. Had to do the washer trick to the THOR targets (and will likely do it to the HULK targets also, just because), then had to raise the THOR targets because the ball was getting stuck. Needed to put a washer under the lower static portion of the Black Widow ramp because a lazy shot would get hopelessly stuck and would require glass off to remove. Seems better now. Hulk's arms are as stucky as I assume they are on any other machine, but I haven't even tried to address that yet.

Still fighting shooter alignment and it looks like the auto-launcher is...wobbly? I dunno. I must not have the angle right on the shooter rod because it's still not a perfectly smooth shot to the top all the time. More adjustment...

The saucer is a NIGHTMARE to hit..seems the balls just deflect off of it about 90% of the time. Maybe that's by design and I just suck.

Aside from those issues this thing plays pretty nicely..although I can't seem to crack 6mil on a game (granted, shooter woes..but that doesn't add THAT many points even with proper skillshot). Yikes.

No idea if this is a keeper or not, as I've already been offered a BKSOR Premium in trade for it. It's a pretty neat game, but I feel like you have to be some kind of pinball wizard to be able to post a score worth a damn!

Thanks for the lengthy response! Still trying to feel this thing out I guess. I had what I felt was a pretty decent game that completed some objectives and hit the BW shot a bunch of times...not quite 7mil lolol. So, not so great really.

Good point on the saucer. I don't think it's ever failed to capture the ball from above. It just seemed like it skipped out around the playfield a LOT and I figured some of those should have fallen in. It was on v1.2 when I brought it home but I've since updated it.

I really liked the idea of changing the tournament button to raise his arms. Mine doesn't have the button and I don't think that empty cavity looks very good. I'd love a button that said SMASH or something.

I really wanted to put some spotlights in this because it's so incredibly dark but with no ground braid I'm not sure what to clip the ground to. Also I'm not sure how...frowned upon.. it would be to change all the GI to sunlight white. I'm half tempted to do it just to see what it looks like. I just wanna see the ball!

Lol. I dropped a 37mil earlier and pissed hulk off I guess. Sheared off the same piece others have mentioned, then the entire assembly blew itself apart. Used a 6-32 bolt and a locknut to get back up and running. Looks like the replacement part (515-9635-00) is $100+. WOOF. Then I had to resolder the switch in front of hulk.

Followed up the repair with my best ever score. Keep in mind it's a hollow score since I put a small piece of foam under his backside to lift up his arms slightly. Makes hitting that target much easier. Hollow score or not, I had a blast playing it.

I'm not usually a huge fan of PinStadiums but those look great in this game! Nice transformation.

I actually dropped off my Hulk LE at a friend's house, I hate to say. Fun game, and I was enjoying it quite a bit with the tweaks I did, but I was offered a Black Knight Sword of Rage (Prem) in trade and didn't feel like I could turn that down.

I wish more people would play Avengers *now* with the code update and stucky tweaks done. It really is a fun game that gets a lot of undeserved hate.
