I'm brand new to the club...VE owner.

Has anyone installed the service rails? If so, do I need to do any drilling or are the holes already in place?

Thanks!

Is it already marked where I need to drill?

Thank you!

Which kit did you buy?

I bought the one from Marco.

I'm glad to be in it.

Another question for all the Iron Man owners...has anyone installed the mylar that goes around the magnets?

Is it needed or is it overkill to put it on?

Thanks!

I wasn't sure if they came factory installed or not.

My Iron Man has been sitting in the box in my house for the past few days. Just waiting to get schedules worked out with a couple friends to do the grand unboxing.

How has everyone got Whiplash to hold onto his whips?

I'm thinking of using superglue, but before I do, just wanted to get a consensus on how people have made them stay in place.

Thanks!

Sorry for another question, but the Whiplash whips...how do you keep them bent? Mine keep straightening out.

I have an Iron Man VE...the whips came straight. Is that normal or should they be pre-bent?

Thanks

Mine said Iron Man LED on the box as well...it is clearly the VE...was just built in January too.

Anyway, hit a new high score tonight. I got to Do or Die shot and Jerricho on ball one...too bad balls 2 & 3 were quick drains.

I got the service rails installed.

What a complete pain in the ass.

Why Stern, why????

I'm not fully recovered yet from my torn rotator cuff surgery.

I picked up my VE in February of this year. Before I dive into my question for everyone, I just want to say that I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Game is simple, challenging, and addicting.

Which leads me to my question, how was this game not popular when it first came out?

On TNT's website, in the Iron Man VE description he wrote that it was a run of 200.

I don't know how official that is, just passing along the info.

Automated & Cointaker has some left (according to their websites)...as to how many, I have no idea.

I love having this game in my collection. All my friends who play it, love to hate it. They hate how it kicks their ass, but they love coming back for more. I'm the same way with it too.

The one thing I can't stress enough, is putting the traditional service rails on the game. I had to adjust a flipper the other day and it made life so much easier.

Happened to me last night. Just when you think you have the game mastered, it'll remind who the bitch is.

66 million on the first ball only to end the game at 72 million.

My high is 84 million...I honestly thought I was gonna break it today.

My next 10 games, I don't think I broke 10 million. I'm still trying to get over that 100 million.

I have 2 older brothers (11 and 9 years older). Growing up, they never let me win at anything. If I did win, everything had to be perfect. Guess that's why I love this game, makes me feel like a 10 year old all over again.

Does anyone here own or have played Iron Man Classic? I'd imagine that it is so much easier without those magnets causing so much chaos.

I purchased the War Machine Iron Man 2 action figure to put weapons on his shoulders. It's a shame Stern didn't have these weapons already molded on it for the VE.

Where did you find one NIB? I thought they were all sold out a while ago.

I finally installed a shaker motor tonight in Iron Man...why did I wait over a year to do this?!?!?!?!

It's my first shaker install on the SAM system...I definitely like the SPIKE shaker install much better.

I know I've said it before, the game is extremely shallow, but the fun level is off the charts. I don't see how I'll ever tire of this game.

My expert opinion: don’t sell Iron Man.

I played mine for a good 45 minutes last night.

I never get tired of it.

You're leaving out details...what did she do?

I use hot glue.

Can't just use a basic hot glue gun. Get one that has interchangeable tips and use the smallest tip.

Did you try calling Stern directly?

I have the Color LED and I think it looks great on Iron Man.

Where are the VEs numbered?

I have the 2015 run.

Will I need to update my Color LED?

How do you get to the do or die multiball?

All my friends who stink at pinball love the game.

The ground wire is on the speaker.

It's the metal speaker panel, you don't need to ground anything else.

Is this a 2020 VE? If so, did it come with pegs or service rails? New style magnets?

You didn’t need to move the ground.

I still put mylar around them.

I do too. I put mylar in the shooter lane, then cliffy's on top. The drain hole, same thing, mylar, then a cliffy.

On drop targets, I put mylar on the front and backside of the playfield. A game like ghostbusters, where the drop targets are in the middle, I put a piece of mylar around the whole thing.

They definitely should’ve re-did the art around the magnets. On the Spider-Man VE, the art looks fine around the magnet because they re-did it to make it work around the magnet.

It was the first red and gold suit.
