Nailed it. When people call this game shallow, as a criticism, I just feel they don't get it at all.

Aurich was nice enough to make these for us: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/free-coin-reject-inserts-for-modern-sterns-10-games

Brandon from Arcade Upkeep made me these. Thanks Brandon!

My favorite part of this picture is that it's score number 4

Ahhhh. You're a 1.4 guy, huh?

I think you've crossed the line into "gaudy" a ways back...

Added backbox lighting in back.
And a flasher inside to light up the arc reactor on the translight when all marks are completed.

Open the outlanes man and update the code!

Thank you.

How much was your Backbox lighting? Where did you get it from?

There is an electronics place by my work. They sell everything. Thats where I get all my capacitors, transistors, bridges etc. To do repairs.
They sell all kinds of led strips, lights, controllers.

The red led strip behind the backbox was $12 and I tied it into the 12v.

The 89 flasher socket in the chest was $1

And I just bought a color changing led strip with a sound controller for under the cab.
Or I might put it in the speaker grills.
It was $30 with 10ft of wire, controller with remote and a 2ft R.G.B strip.

So for everything after taxes not even $40 Canadian.

FINALLY got to Do or Die! And somehow did something to collect 100,000,000 points! Double scoring on Do or Die or I think maybe I beat Jericho? It kept telling me what to shoot ("Shoot Whiplash", "Shoot Bogey Ramp") and I wound up beating that. That's Jericho, right?

My heart is still pounding.

Nice score!

Yes, you were describing Jericho. Beating that mode is no easy task on factory settings.

Surviving the side to side outlane onslaught is brutal, because there are so many standup targets that are going to result in pure chaos.

Great job! How long did it take you like 9 minutes?

Now go relax and play WCS.

Ok that's what I thought it was, DoD into Jericho. Completing Jericho was NOT easy, but by God it was thrilling!

Lol that's a reason I love IM. Short, intense games.

Me too!!! A 5 minute game feels massive. I play a lot of different game from a lot of different eras. But IM has something special. The only change I've made is that I will not play it first anymore. I have it setup like a ski slope, and all my other games feel distorted after a few games on IM.

I agree, IM is special. Last weekend kids were going crazy when they beat the Iron Monger and hit the War Machine kickback at my son's 9 year birthday party. They were yelling! It was awesome!

Rare that 9 year olds, who have never played pinball before and very experienced players both love IM!

Same here!!!

Mike in Kentucky

I've gotten Do or Die 3 tymes and beat Jericho twice on my VE ,, Such a Satisfaction !!

Then the next tyme i play it ,, IM Kick's my Azz ,, Gotta Love it !!

Also , I have 2 of the Monger decal's left ,, PM me if U want 1 ..

Just sent the cheque!
Waiting patiently for my new IMVE to arrive.
Sigh.

It looks like IMVE has dried up with the distributors. Anyone who is on the fence on buying one, VE or original, should not wait anymore and just snap it up if it is local and at a fair price. IMHO.

Got mine! A beautiful IMVE. Proud to be a member of an elite club. Only took me 51 years before I finally got my first pin. First pin and best pin.

Great! now get ready to have your ass handed to you repeatedly

I simply love Marvel, Iron Man and this pin! I wanted to post a link to my new Limited Edition IM topper. Info, pics and video are on my webpage.

Congrats! I know a lot of 41 one year olds who look older than you do and even worse, they do not like pinball.

that looks great. How does it fix onto the top of the pin? Does it plug into an external electrical outlet or into the pin? Does it interact at all with what's doing in the pin?

Your web site says orders end Feb 8th?

Thanks.

p.s. need one for Tron next.

Thank You. The IM topper has L-style feet with Velcro strips for easy mounting. It also has a 7' harness and plug that connects directly to the empty 5v/12v connector in the front of the machine. It has the pulsating center light as well as 4 other light sources. It does not flash with the machine but many people have modified my other topper's lights to react with the pop bumpers or flashers. We have 42 orders so the run will be 50 only. So you can still order until those 8 are gone. This is a Limited Edition run and comes with a signed and numbered tag. There will never be any more made. Thanks

And as soon as they are made, they'll ship? So the order you bought is the order in which they'll ship? Was annoyed with my first NIB purchase IMVE that I bought within an hour of the announcement but had to watch others get theirs first. Yea first world problems but still.

Yes, they are shipping in the exact order that they were reserved. I'll have to check but I'm almost positive your in the first batch

Does that mean it's safe for us IM-2010 owners to show our faces again?

Just ordered one. If I like it, I'll get the STLE

I do have a question: Why so limited?

I could use Tron and X-Men next.

Thanks Dan, your customer service is top notch.

Thanks for the order. The IM topper is Limited because of the complexity of the build. It needs to be built in stages. It's not cost effective to be building them one at a time over the next months. I also have many other topper projects in design right now and the next few months will be very busy. I am actually working on a custom X-men for a client right now and just finished a custom Hulk topper. here's a peek...

Oh yeah, the 2010's play great! I would buy either VE or original if I did not own IM already.

Man! Just had a really terrible ball 1 and ball 2 (like, shameful), but then on ball three the perfect storm hit. Had bogey running, started fast scoring, started war machine, stacked whiplash on top of that. Crazy go nuts! After that pile ended (bogey still running) I nailed Do or Die for 34 mil, then started 2x scoring and right into Jericho! Good grief! Lost it on a monger magnet throw to the outlane pretty fast there.

Still only ended up with 93 mil. But damn that was fun.

I'm looking for one specific plastic (pictured). Anyone happen to have one from a broken up set? If not, any ideas where I might track one down?Screen Shot 2015-02-15 at 7.21.30 PM.png

Just joined the club and I'm patiently waiting for my IMVE to get here. I think it will pair very nicely with my ST Pro.... very different games.

Oh, heck yeah! My 2 Sterns are IM and ST and I love to go back and forth playing them. They both have incredible ramps, play fast and have great flow. I play IM for a quick game and ST for a longer play. I could just have those 2 in a 2 pin collection and I would be happy.

If you like HS2, like I do, you will love IM.

Love HSII....I've considered selling it several times and can just never pull the trigger....so I've given up on the idea of selling that one.

Yeah, I go back and forth sometimes also, but my HS2 plays so well and has never given me a problem, so it will be around for a while.

You fortunate to get an IM. They are drying up a little bit. Congrats!

That's exactly why I'm keeping mine. I've never had to repair anything on it! I plays super smooth and I've added a lot of nice touches. I've never run into another HSII that plays as smooth.

My IMVE is a mint HUO with a lot of nice added "extras"....including the shaker motor. Can't wait for it to arrive.

IM owners need to check out this mod for the ramps. I just got mine and installed it. Wow!!! I'll post a video tonight if I can.

A friend and fellow IM owner recommended this Mod.

Also I saw a quote in another thread saying "I sold my IM because I was not playing any of my other pins anymore.". LOL. I can relate. T2 is gone and WCS get little play. It is some play on HS2, more ST Pro and a lot of IM.

Yea I got a can for my Black Wifow ramp on my Avengers LE. My IM ramps are plenty fast for me though.

Did it work on Avengers on the BW ramp?
