Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:
X-MEN is a perfect example. I just acquired an LE and it’s the world underglass everyone says they want at a cheap price. Best pin buy (trade actually) I’ve made in a long time.
Transformers is a nice game, that took a beating too. As well as Avengers. These are all solid, relatively deep games with cool shots and toys (on the LEs) that are very affordable because of all the early hate.

Absolutely...all of this! I would also add Mustang to this list. Unique layout with interesting code that has a lot more depth than first glance.

I will never understand how someone can look at a game with FOUR(!) ramps, a completely unique disappearing spinner/magnet/lock mechanism, crazy custom stadium RGB lighting, two large custom molded decorative toys (one that moves), two spinners, and a third flipper as being stripped down or like an EM. Just boggles my mind. Not to mention is shoots like a million bucks.

Quoted from bigguybbr:
The pro doesn't have the spinner mechanism. It's all just dead space.

I understand that, but they get lumped together often. Even at that, 3 flippers, a drop target bank, 2 saucers, a spinner, and 3 ramps on the pro isn't all that stripped out compared to many other machines. It's just an odd reputation that LZ has gotten.
