Yes love the Magneto based on #516

X_MEN #516.jpg

Me too. if you hit that ultra fast: upper right flipper -> Orbit -> Upper right flipper -> Tower Ramp shot in the new JP you feel awesom everytime. best thing if you combo some other shot before making this one.

Yep, my language was too harsh. My filter sucks in online forums. I'll def check it out in person.

I don't know what the hell he puts in his sauce? But it is magic! I get a tingle up my spine on the combo ramp shots-one of the best feelings in pinball for me.

Reminds me of old funny video-Every time I hit a combo I ^%$ in my pants....

I have no comic themed game in my collection and this looks like it could be the one to get. What does the LE have over the Prem? i think Prem is the way to go.

The one in the game looks like a happy meal toy.

It's a board game, not a pin...Took me a couple months to figure out the progression, it's overly complicated...Set Trap targets too heavily weighted for shots that don't feel great IMO...I love some of the shots on that game, but not the code.

needs a mod or a re-paint for sure. It does look blah.

I'm in for the LE. Excited about this one.

Shaker Motor in the LE guys ! Gets me all happy thinking about those target hits "Rumbling".

This will undoubtedly be the best pin since TMNT.

Did they list what the LE has over the Prem? Shaker/backglass/Invis Glass...

I'm sure abouth that.

I guess someone mocked this up and messaged me about doing this for their premium. Not a problem and I’d accent with yellow bolts

The Dinosaur in JP looks like it was bought at the dollar store. I quickly looked over it as I was too busy playing the fantastic game with an epic layout. I even left my cheap plastic Gomez truck because it is depicted throughout the theme. I do think the glove needs some help and modders will be all over it.

I dunno... If these new targets work the way Chuckwurt thinks they do, I think it's a smart feature. A lot of features have to be looked at from the perspective of a player that just flails to a player who knows what is going on.

Mechanics like that drop target bank where you get -something- for knocking them all down rewards the people who play the game at a simple level, and having it deeper based on combinations/rows of lit ones for the more experience players makes the feature rewarding for everyone. It's just more rewarding to the more skilled players.

Agree, The Gauntlet looks pretty poor imo... Hopefully someone will make a replacement but spending $9,200 on a machine you would think you would get something that looks better than a dogs toy.

For you serious collectors out there, this is grail gauntlet to get!!!

To me that purple trim added to the Premium looks better than the yellow LE but everybody has their own tastes.

Yes - See below

Avengers Infinity Quest Matrix Features-1 (resized).jpg

That made me chuckle-it does remind me of my dogs squeaky toy

I love an in-depth ruleset because I don’t want to just rinse and repeat each time I play.

I also sometimes like simple rules, but I balance this with some 90s games like WCS and NGG.

This layout begs for in-depth rules because there is so much to shoot for and so many characters. That’s also what makes Avengers so cool is all there different powers pitted against the different powers of the stones. A simple ruleset would be such a waste here.

This will be my first Keith game. Played a few games of JP, really liked it. This looks awesome.

"Designer autographed collectible featuring signature of game designer Keith Elwin" - Maybe that's a better gauntlet?

Happy thoughts - to guess that it's maybe something like that - a real value.

I think the signed collectible is the pinball machine.

Hey y'all!! Does anyone have a line on a dealer/distro that has an LE for sale? Definitely looking for one. Hit me up & let me know.

I like this magneto.

Making the gauntlet look like the movie prop would be a mistake IMO. This is a comic based game. The one on the Premium/LE does look plain but an airbrush artist could make it look great! It just needs some shading. I wish the gems were more gem-like. If you take a look at the topper, they used some bubble glass like material. I would have liked something like that or an acrylic gem with subtle faceting. Hopefully modders will be able to take what is in the game and make it look better.

Joe at pinballstar is awesome. I've bought all my NIB games from him.

I totally agree with this statement. I don’t like seeing games with “mods” that feel disconnected visually from the rest of the game.

I've noticed a few people mentioning that they will use this as a topper. Keep in mind the color/location of the gems on the gauntlet in the movie is different from that of the comics.

In 2014 they made a gauntlet correct to the comic. It's a SDCC exclusive set with figures.

I personally really like your artwork. You really executed a modern "Marvel" artwork package.

The play field has a ton of detail. I love how the play field art flows with the shots. Captain marvel flying into the ramp, hulk transforming near the spinner, it all seems well planned out, while maintaining a comic book feel. I think Stan Lee would approve!

Mostly evaluating the premium since that is what I want due to features, but the translate is awesome, and I really want to see this in person, i don't think the pictures do the side art any justice. I think in person Thanos will really pop/look larger than life!

Some constructive feedback, would have been neat if you had time to do two different sides of the artwork, one side Thanos, and the other the Avengers on the premium that flowed with the package, but I'm sure this was due to time restraints. I prefer the front of the Pro versus the Premium. The infinity stones flying around are okay, but would have rather seen character art on the front. This is purely my opinion, and has nothing to do with execution. Doesn't make or break the package, just some feedback!

There is a TON of emphasis on Thanos in the artwork, he better be a bad ass in this game, aka snap his fingers and kill your score until you reclaim a stone or something!

Job well done sir! All of the above is my "opinion", look forward to your future projects! Keep up the good work!

Totally agree, it has to be comic style. It could have been more like this... But hopefully a modder will make something. I'm not hung up on the stones being correct but that would be nice also.

As you can tell I am a Thanos fan and collector...

If by "most here hated it" you mean "a tiny vocal minority whined about it while the rest of us were too busy loving our JP," then yes.

Same drop target rule from that famously complicated game, Stern Cheetah, 1980.

Joe is awesome! But I'm pretty sure he doesn't distribute for Stern. But, I may be mistaken. It's worth calling him and asking. His number is right on his website..

https://pinballstar.com/

Does he not? I already talked to him about Avengers and he didn't say anything about not being a Stern distributor. I've only bought a couple Spooky's from him.

Agree with everyone that the Gauntlet needs to be modded, but not to the movie version (although I’m sure that will be the popular opinion). It should look like the one in the comics.

Also, the gems are white with LED’s behind them. I wonder why they didn’t color the stones, unless those LED’s are RGB?

Thank you, sir. $600 seems to be the new baseline for toppers. But $1,000? That’s ludicrous.

I’m hearing the accessories will be available in 1-2 months.

Isn’t this how Circus Voltaire is done? It rises up and gets hit with balls too. Has anyone had issues with this holding up on CV?

It’s also a completely different set of materials. Can’t be compared imo.

This game looks great. It's the pits I couldn't see it and play it at expo that was scheduled (now canceled) next month.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they are RGB just so they can be used in full playfield light shows?

This game looks awesome. I have no room to put it, but I think I'm in for one of these! Re: this designer, I've got a JP Premium, and I can respect the fact that it is hard, I've bricked more shots in that game than Shaq has free throws. But I can get around that, it's on my skill (or lack thereof). What drives me nuts about JP are the out lanes. Even if adjusted to "easy", if the ball is going that way, the nudging that I know how to do doesn't really work, it's like your strategy has to be to not let it go there. I'm wondering if the setup is the same on Avengers (the in lane post much higher, creating out lane drains that would make me want to smash the Invisiglass). I don't really recall that in Iron Maiden but don't own it so can't be for sure. Any ideas or any good photos/videos with a closeup of that configuration?

Yeah, the ringmaster is mounted on a big ass metal spring that's designed to bend and move so it can throw the ball around. That little post the Strange spinner is mounted on looks a little fragile from the short videos but hopefully it's sturdier than it looks.

Just curious, who makes that one? I have the Hot Toys/ Sideshow Movie Replica. This one is a beast!

I'm in for a premium ... Gameroom Guys still have a couple of LE slots available if anyone is looking.

OH Yeah! I just committed to a Premium from Flip N Out!

Anyone have a non instagram link to this teaser? Some of us old farts dont do "insta"

Since Adam Warlock made the cut it would have been nice to see the Silver Surfer too who is long over due for a pinball appearance and was also a huge player against thanos in the infinity gauntlet and even further back. Im really intrigued why Adam Warlock is pictured on this game. My guess is he is in the final modes. His first appearance in the marvel universe was in fantastic four #67. He is eluded to in the 2nd Guardians movie as they show this same cocoon with those gold folks.
