Wellp the streams got to me...Put a deposit down on a premium. I have a Turtles pro coming, so that will certainly hold my attention until I get Avengers (next year, it seems?)!

A lot more divisive replies than I was expecting haha. Since the next builds aren't until March maybe I'll just put a deposit down and decide what to sell once the game is ready. Knowing me I'll probably end up not selling anything

I set my AIQ up last night, this game is fantastic! I might be my favorite Elwin, it's only been a day so it's hard to say right now. Are rejects from the center ramp plastic piece common? I have had numerous shots hit the edge of that piece and get totally rejected. I also think my portal needs some adjustment. It randomly stops raising at times, and doesn't fully raise itself often.
Quoted from EaglePin:I've had shots reject off that plastic above the Black Widow ramp on mine. If I remember correctly, it happened a fair amount when I had pitch set higher. I lowered the pitch slightly and now it doesn't happen very often.
I do like to play my games pretty steep. I'll try lowering it, it's at 7.2 right now

I think I've fixed the portal issue. Ultimately I reflowed the connections on the sensor board and reseated the connections going to the node board. After that my portal is working properly.
Wow I wish I had heard about the issues with the Ant-Man rail earlier. Three days in and my rail has already scraped away the art around it. I have a set of Cliffys on the way, but it's still a bummer. For now I've raised it up with a washer.
It's odd that some games seem to have a washer on it from the factory. Mine was built Feb 8 and did not.
Quoted from PinballHaven:Sorry to hear that, it’s been all over this thread for some time. Might contact stern since they did make adjustments for it?
Yeah I shot them an email, so we'll see what happens. I'm not sure how I missed it, though I also didn't spend much time in this thread until receiving the game. Lesson learned for the next time I get a game.
Quoted from Indusguys:Chances are that your Thor ball guide is digging in as well, and you want to get a washer on that sooner then later.
Yep I took care of that one when I did the Antman rail as it looked like it was begging to do some damage.
Well I got annoyed enough by the lack of a "handle" (I realize it isn't really a handle) that I decided to model and print one since the tnuts are there. Not the best, but it works and didn't immediately break.
I threw it on thingiverse in case anyone wants to print one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4774832

I tweaked the handle a bit and added iqhandle-v2.stl to the thingiverse page. This is a bit shorter and slopes down slightly. I didn't like how close the top of v1 is to the cabinet, instead of 1/8 inch clearance it now has around half an inch. After testing this a dozen or so times I don't really think a version with extra support is needed. It's not lifting much weight at all and seems very sturdy at 30% infill.

I would think a plastic that just comes out further would do it. At least on mine it's hitting the edge of the plastic whenever it gets rejected. If I had a laser cutter I'd give it a shot.
Quoted from tdiddy:Yeah that's pretty much the idea....I'll dress it up with her emblem or something
I'm happy to be a test subject if you come up with something
Quoted from bigdaddy07:That's cool for a budget way to go. However, the external AMP really opens the speakers up a lot more than the built-in stern spike version. I tried that when I had my IMDN and was limited in the amount of bass from the cabinet and output I could get from the BB speakers before the audio started to crack. Having said that, I do like my audio cranked more that the average player, so my demands are greater than normal.
I did the same on my Maiden, it is shocking how much a new amp changes the sound. I spent like $50 on new speakers and an amp, it completely changed the sound. I'm considering doing the same with Avengers.

Quoted from Mtg381:I just mentioned this yesterday...1490.625
Wow, my fastest is 750.
Quoted from PinballHaven:Is there an easy fix for fly balls getting stuck in the prem/le wireframe intersection? This is a real issue for gameplay. Tried an old outlane plastic in there mounted under the nearest wireframe screw and it worked but is ugly, wondering if there is a place I can order custom clear one to my specs. The non clear blocks the view of collect gem led so painting the old scrap isn’t really a great option.

I emailed Stern about this and they asked for a video of it, apparently they'd not heard of this happening. It happens every few games for me and I haven't been able to come up with a fix. I feel like there needs to be a plastic guard above the two wireforms or something similar.

I seriously do not know how to feel about this. I simultaneously love it and hate it, ultimately all that matters is that you like it
