Avengers assemble! LE #447 just arrived in Happy Valley, Oregon. Yes, Happy. "Thor" was a big help in the move in. My game was 'born' on 9/30/2020 so must be one of the last of the run of 500; Looks perfect so far. Now to get playing and 'modding' as appropriate. Anxious to get a Topper for it (as long as it does not exceed the cost of the game itself).

I have one and I offered it to Thor and the Hulk but in true Avengers style they chose to move it the way that they did. How do you think the other games got there?

Went with dark blue on lower flippers and yellow on upper left. Works nicely

Where are the Toppers available?

Had the same issue. Turned down the power on the ball auto launch. No more problems.

So I installed my Topper yesterday and to be honest, I am less than impressed. The lights are very bright, especially the central one behind Dr. Strange. It blinds anyone standing to the side of the shooter. The lights behind the stones also wash out the colors of the gems. I am going to have to see if there is someway I can place pieces of gel film behind the gems or otherwise add color to the stones and also if I can 'turn down' the intensity of the lights. As you can see, I like Toppers and the one that still remains my favorite is on my AFMR LE

Not really. Just flashing lights and plastic. Disappointing.

UPDATE: I installed some gel film behind the gems. The ones I used slid easily in front of the led. A 30 second fix that made a tremendous difference. Here's the link to where I purchased the films. A great selection of colors.

It does add a lot to the game cosmetically and it does add a multiball mode (which I have not yet attained). To be perfectly honest, l am a sucker for TOPPERS, I have them on all of my games so I am not sorry that I bought this one. I just wish it did more. I am probably the wrong person to solicit an opinion from re. the worth of a TOPPER.

I just installed tdiddy's AIQ PYM building mod on my game and it looks great and the quality is excellent. Installation was easy to do but a couple of things worth mentioning. I have an LE and there was a mounting tab on the mod to hold it in place. That tab seemed superfluous to my game and it did not line up with the the designated screw that is supposed to be used to hold the mod in place. If you get the mod, this will perhaps be clearer. Anyway, the mod fits tightly without using the tab, so I simply removed it. Otherwise, that tab would have been unsightly if left in place. Also, if the building is mounted too low, i.e., pushed down too far it blocks balls trying to leave the VUK and conversely, if left too high in position, the glass cannot clear it. So, look for that 'happy zone' where everything fits just right. Also, as you will see in my photo, the building does hide some of the side blade artwork, particularly and unfortunately, Thanos. But, he is seemingly everywhere in the artwork so no great loss there. I have LERMOD's RGB subway lighting system on my game so I opted to not install the light offered with the mod. Overall, I believe the mod is a nice add to a great game and compliments Mezel Mods' Infinity Tower and Sanctum Sanctorum buildings nicely.

Today I received and installed the Black Panther mod that is made by "tdiddy". I am hoping that this one will help reduce the number of shooter lane ball launches that end up going astray and landing under the gauntlet; time will tell. Regardless of that, the mod does look great and it was very easy to install. At Tom's suggestion, I had him put the purple led color on it and I think that was the right choice. Once again, I am very pleased with the quality of Tom's mods and his speed of shipping. I am now looking forward to his Mandalorian mods. We are lucky to have so many talented "MOD Artists" in the hobby.
