Nice detective work. You should get 10k karma points. How was the rest of the tour? What were they making?
What is peelix?
No one mentoned it but about a 1/3 of the factory was blocked off by brand new tarps. I mean like freshly bought from home depot the night before. No dust on them. Our guide said that they were building more "offices". We were taken through the factory in groups of 10. On the bus ride back other groups said their tour guide could barely keep a straight face when trying to feed them the "offices" line. Oh yeah the tarps that covered the area where the offices would be going? Right where the truck docks currently sit.
Quoted from markmon:Based on what I see here, the topic should be changed to "AVENGORS (pics of boxes at stern)".
That's 'cuz it's pronounced "A-ven-horz"

But there is an english box on the bottom shelf
They should make alternate translites before hand.
So what did stern have at their booth at expo this year? Xmen? Home models? I really thought they would have an announcement of some sort.
Quoted from MrDo:...risked my life and freedom to get those...
Next time watermark them

Funny Gomez states what's behind there on this video shot in the last of days. He hints to green, red and blue ones also, which suggests avengers.
Quoted from swinks:Peel = Emma Peel from the '60s TV series The Avengers
The producers were looking for lots of "Man Appeal" in the 60s show.
As they were working on the scripts the shorthand became M-appeal to mark sexy scenes.
As the scrips were finalized the female star's name became "Emma Peel"

This is yours! Im sorry I gave credit to op. You get 10K karma. Did they specifically say no pics?
Great job getting the pic Forbelsop. Any chance these boxes could have been marked to dupe people? Thought I heard before that Stern has played games like that in the past.
Quoted from Av8:Hulk, Capt Amer and IM models?
Can't be. Who in their right mind would want a Capt. America version over something like Thor or Loki. Hell, I'd take an agent coulson one over a captain one, lol.

Hey Wolfy.............Speak for yourself, I would take Captain America any day.

+1
I have nothing against an Avengers game, but I hope that was a red herring, just so things aren't so predictable.

Maybe.
How come everyone is thinking the two LE models would both be good guys? Especially after X-Men. Just curious. Thor and Captain America are sort of more minor characters, and Iron Man's been done. My personal guess/assumption is Hulk and Loki.
Quoted from Rabscuttle:Hulk and Loki.
Ugh...count me out.
I cant imagine that selling as well. I think Good vs Evil is more balanced in TF and Xmen. Loki is not a strong balance. As a matter of fact he is kind of made to be laughable with the emphasis being on the team coming together. Those factors tend to create more interest in the Avenger Team then the good vs bad side thing.
If I wanted a superhero pin I'd have bought X-Men which they *only just released*.
Boring theme choice is boring.
Now what Stern should have done was Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Capt America pins - leading up to Avengers like Marvel did. Yes, I know more super hero pins but maybe a break in licensing.
And I'll say it for the record. Wolverine and Magneto LE cabinets fall short to the pro model. Saw the pro's at Expo and THAT is Xmen. That was a miss that LEs cabinet lesser than pro.
Wouldn't it be better if the LE was the one that featured the whole Avengers and then the Pro/premium could be Hulk or Capt. America as the focus in an opposite manner to the way the XMen pin was produced?

I agree with this. No balance in a good vs. Evil Avengers game unless you dip into the individual movies...and even then no balance.
Quoted from TigerLaw:I agree with this. No balance in a good vs. Evil Avengers game unless you dip into the individual movies...and even then no balance.
That's why they should abandon the multiple LE BS. Just have an Avengers LE that features all the characters.
I am so done with the whole supposed 'good -vs- evil' split. Lose the angst for some levity or a killer soundtrack.
Furthermore, how about investing that energy and expense into delivering on new, material features that differentiate the gameplay thereby warranting the significant premium paid on the LEs... as opposed to just some silly side-armor pattern -- blue vs red, or red vs purple, or green vs blue.
The guy in yellow got kicked out of the wiggles, supposedly he was too sexy according to Australian housewives, so he wont appear on the cabinet or play field of the next JJP title
Avengers is next, little is known about specific LE details.
But it's supposed to be a different layout than the usual Gomez fan style. Dec/Jan
The Area 52 video suggests:
Red -Thor
Blue -Captain
Green -Hulk
Either this is the last DMD or the introduction to the new bus system and small LCD. Time will tell.
