$4100 for my HUO

Bit to far.

May be getting back in tbe club. Sold my HUO Wolverine a few weeks ago to help fund my Hobbit LE. Well, then sold my HUO MET Pro to help fund a GB premium.

Now Stern may be having playfield issues and is charging nearly $7k for a premium! I have a great opportunity to get a HUO Magneto, perfect shape, very low plays with a ton of mods. I liked my Wolverine but this one is even in slightly better shape.

Have had mine for yrs and love it still. Bring it back man bring it back ! I would like a finishing code polish though.

What does everyone with an LE do to get rid of the intense glare on the pf glass from the back box?

I wrapped the flourescent tube with regular printer paper, one sheet on each half of the tube to diffuse the lighting. It works great!

PDI glass does wonders for this.

Pdi glass, expensive and often out of stock.

Arcadeupkeep.com for auto dimming backbox

You miss it already?

Glass = $$$$$

Paper = $0.

I haven't had any glare issues with any of the later Sterns, TSPP was terrible but some painters tape on the tube sorted that out.

YMMV

I spray the front to the bulb with black paint.

Where did you get this? Game I'm looking at wolverine is messed up but it has newton ball.

Bought wolverine off of E bay. Mounted it with a zip tie and metal wire. Game is on location and I have had no problems with it.

Hey X-MEN LE owner's, my right night crawler stopped working. Both main and small aux boards have been switched to Rev B so that's not the issue. I cant find any blown fuses or loose wires. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Donny

I'm supposed to be joining the club tomorrow all going well with the delivery. Just a pro, would love an LE but hard to come by in the UK.

Nothing wrong with the pro my man, it's awsome!!!

My pro arrived today, its in very good condition with a color DMD. It has some colored GI leds fitted, I normally don't like colored GI but I quite like this. Have a shaker to fit and speaket lights.

Either get the newton ball or the belt protector for Wolverine. Already looks like some wear on his left side of the belt.

Just had a close look at it, can't see any wear ( probably a light reflection in the photo ) but I should get it protected. Who sells the belt protector?

Same place that sell the Newton ball mod Mezelmods. Get the newton ball mod instead it's 100% a game changer for me! Make the beast and xavier shots easier and you don't get and nuisance wolverine hits because of the major shot blocking he does. But on the flip side it makes hitting him that much harder which is a plus for me during his multiball. You've got to aim at him instead of blindly flailing

+1 on the newton ball mod, it qshould've been stock on this game. The mod is not plug and play however, mine took a bit of work to get installed fyi.

Thanks guys, I'll check it out.

Anyone have an X-men Pro translite they might want to sell? If so send me a PM

Joined the club last night- just picked up a Wolverine LE. My first pin!

Where does everyone get the wolverine that sits on top of the newton ball mod?

I don't have the Newton ball mod , but noticed a lot of people are using bust figures an mounting them on top of the Newton ball mod. If you go on eBay an type in wolverine xmen bust figure something should pop up. But sure someone who has done it will chime in soon.

Some have used the Wolverine I see on Amazon.co.uk:

Some use ones from ebay. Mine is from a Disney PVC set which I see here for a good price (plus the gambit one):

Is the spotlight lamp aimed at Magneto different from the other spot lights?

I'm asking because I replaced it with an LED (that is otherwise suitable for inserts and GI lighting) and the plastic base burned brown. I'm wondering if I simply got a bad LED or if I need something different such as a 12V bulb.

You need a #906 12V wedge led. Its not a 6V standard #555. I did the same thing myself and burned a led for that. Use purple, cool result and I've linked 2 red strips with that spot and putted them on the apron.

The manual says its a #161 lamp, but I use a 906 also

Here's a thing. I'm on the hunt for a X-Men LE. I have a GB premium coming in a couple of weeks, and I have to say, I might be a little bit more excited at the prospect of the X-Men. Am I crazy? I've always thought that X-Men was ridiculously good value, and the artwork is superb. Anyway, looking forward to joining the club soon!

X-men has its problems such as callout quality, hence its lower market price. But the layout is excellent, the rules are challenging (and configurable for mega-stacking), and the toys are interesting in the LE. The shortcomings seem trivial in comparison to the discount against machines like Tron.

I highly recommend the ramp post mod: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/x-men-ramp-posts-mod

TB xmen is awsome!!! Be excited it's up there with the King !! It reminds me of fast an furious for some bizarre reason, i was lucky I got a mint pro off an AA member last year an it's not going anyware , I played the Le an it's cool might have been a little beat that's why maybe I preferred the pro, so just putting it out there that if you get a chance to get a minty pro, give it some thought coz it's a great table...

My X-Men LE going no where, Very under rated game IMO!
Don't get your opinion changed on purchasing one by those who say the call outs suck etc.
I like them myself
Each to their own.

due to some significant life trouble, this game is likely for sale, just casting a line for now... I assure you it's the nicest Wolverine in existence, at least in my zip code.

No. Xmen is vastly superior to Ghostbusters in every way I can think of.

See, that whole idea is crazy. Just because a couple of high profile Pinsiders bagged the voices of Beast and Storm, sheeple devalue the machine?

The reality is,

A/ initial year of code was crap, but it's awesome now. A lot of people haven't played the complete game.

B/ a lot of people initially bought the machine, it was way too tough for them, and their egos couldn't handle the beating. So they ragged on the game to make themselves feel better.

Well said. The difficulty level coupled with the fun factor is what makes a game long lasting.

X-Men LE is a great game, still my favourite. Call outs are fine imo and once you get your rhythm going, the game just flows and then you welcome Deadpool to help you with the villains.

Anyone done anything awesome with pinball browser for x-men?

The only thing I could think of was a bunch of people trying to improve the voice callouts (they don't bother me that much, though). Project seems to be on a halt currently.

On my game, the main music has been replaced with the opening theme from the animated 90's show ...

Trying to find that song forever on mp3 download. Could you share this track to me ? I'm almost finish with mine. I've used like 3 new songs for X-men's but I need that one so bad...they are hard to find

Sites like keepvid.com can extract sound from video sites.

Found a A+, HUO Magneto! Now just waiting for delivery. I have had very, very little time on Xmen. I'm sucking down all the videos I can find, like I haven't in a long time while waiting for a new machine. I think there might be something special about this one. Yes, RD I found your three videos. Hehe. Nice rundown on the Wolvey Newton ball.

Cool.

You can follow the newton ball story in my thread about it. All Jeremy's doing, but I was happy to help. I still have the prototype on my machine, as per the video.

.

I've seen a transformers that did similar. Any idea how it's done or what is needed?

How are you adding music to the game? I'd love to do all 3 theme songs and a few others

I don't think the newton ball is needed as much on the Pro, as Wolvie is positioned as he should have been on all games on it.

It at LEAST needs the belt protector unless you want a hole there someday (or at the very least, missing paint and scratched up plastic).

I love it on my Pro as it makes the shot so much harder. TBH, Wolverine is the last X-Men I usually start and finish when trying to complete them for Danger Room.
