Congrats - great game. I loved it day one out of the box. My most played pin. Looks awesome in LED with the LED back box. Enjoy.
Quoted from NJGecko:OK...who is going to make the "best 6 1/2 seconds of your life" sex joke now?
I can last at least 10 seconds....and if I don't I have a guarantee I'll go round...ball 2 
How much was the IM?

Congrats! Great game. You will love it.
Only thing is that stock, it can look a little plain. I highly recommend adding LED's thoughout. Makes the game really pop. And for sure get in touch with Hooked and get the modded figures (Whiplash and War Machine for sure - I also added a Drone in the back middle of the playfield with a led in his chest).
Shaker motor adds a lot to the experience too.

I'm a bit familiar with this particular IM.
Here is a post by Hooked with the mods. I got the Whiplash with white whips and he looks awesome. LED's in chest are not too bright. All mods look like they should have been there in the first place. Hookup is plug and play with alegator clips.
I have Whiplashes arc reactor hooked up to the pop bumpers and his whips to his flasher. AWESOME affect when his mode starts. War machine's chest is hooked up to GI and his cannon to his flasher. My Drone's chest arc reactor is hooked to GI.
Deal with Hooked with confidence.
Just my opinion: use LEDS for the feature lights but keep the GIs incandescent. It's a very red game, and LEDs completely ruin the color. Make sure you get a Cliffy for the right ramp entrance. Great game, welcome to the club!
Quoted from NJGecko:It was a hair over $5.
Congrats. I know you really wanted one. If you ever get tired of it and want a local sale or trade let me know.
NAVL called and scheduled delivery for tomorrow!
I never understood their scheduling. I had a pin shipped from South Carolina to NJ. It took the better part of three weeks. This IM was picked up last Friday afternoon in CA and will be in my home in NJ less than a week later...
Not that I'm complaining mind you....!
Buy the cliffy Ramp protector if you do not have it. Set it steep and enjoy it. I love IM and think your wife will like it as she liked the ramps on T3.
I still have T3 though it does not get the love it should with Tron, IM, Avengers and MM no other game really gets the play time they deserve. In fact I will make sure I play it tonight.
Hank..she still misses the T3 Going to have to get the cliffys definitely!
The challenge once it comes is moving it in and upstairs...especially because I want to move at least one machine downstairs to make room for it. I came to grips that until I sold something off I wasn't going to even unbox this...but I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen that way
Quoted from edcianci:post high scores - i opened the outlanes and put everything on hard - sadly my high score is only 36 million right now
thanks ed
I got 109M once. Usually my score is A LOT lower.

Hah! Man do I feel ya.
NAVL had their delivery window set between 8-3....and every other time they have come, they always hit the last half hour of their window.
I worked overnight last night and am headed home by 9 which worked out well since I figured in the odd chance they come early my wife would be home.
What do you know...at 7 my phone rings "I'm ten minutes away, is that OK?"
Well, my wonderful wife put up with being dragged awake a few minutes early and now it's home...
Headed there shortly myself to see about trying to get it inside!
Nice I know I was excited to play it at Castles N Coasters in "10"when it came out. I love the sound effects and game play with the magnets. Im more of an X-MEN fan so I had to have that one, but Iron Man would come right after.
Quoted from NJGecko:Home, taken apart, moved upstairs, and back together!
Stark meet Flynn!
Jeff Bridges, meet Jeff Bridges! Now you just need a Big Lebowski pin for the trifecta!
Quoted from swampfire:Just my opinion: use LEDS for the feature lights but keep the GIs incandescent.
Use *non-ghosting LEDs* in it. When I got mine, someone that had it before me stuck in a kit, and everything was flashing constantly. It took me a lot of time to tone down the color and make it look less bug zapper-ish.
I'm not commenting on the quality of LEDs that were in it, as I was actually relatively impressed with them, but the game had a crazy bright glow and I have light sensitivity issues, and I literally could not look at it without starting to get a headache.
Agreed - I used NoFlix Plus, and only in a few inserts:
- drones (4)
- character inserts (5)
The rest of the inserts looked better to me with #44s.
NJ, you need an Escalara, and a removable handrail, and railing up top...
If i had an upstairs gameroon i'd have to get out of the hobby, or rent a place to have my games..
Stairs SUCK ! LOL
I give you all the credit in the world, you sure are dedicated !
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:How hard/easy is it to remove the head?
Not the hardest thing ever, but a big pain in the ass none the less...
Another thing i wouldnt want to be forced to do to have games... YUCK !
It's funny...my first game was Tron. My buddy (fellow pinsider) picked it up with me, brought it home and we immediately realized the head would have to come off. I had never even opened a pin before and here we are in my driveway at night pulling the head off.
He told me "no big deal" and off came the head. He did 90% of the work. We got it upstairs and started to reassemble it, but he had to head out for a vacation the next morning. I remember going "oh, crap" looking at it with wires seemingly everywhere. Took me close to 4 hours to reassemble it.
I'm selling three machines today. BoP had to come back down the steps. With practice comes improvement...
Took me 15 minutes to pull the head off.
Took me 15 to put it back on.
The most important thing is to take lots of pictures. And to take a sharpie and label each connector.
