Not looking as bad as I thought dolls are growing on me .

Where are the LE pics that is shipping in a couple weeks why no pics of the LE play field?

#2152 11 years ago

What a cool way to produce a flyer! It looks fantastic! Way to go Stern!

#2153 11 years ago

Does Stern even make flyers for LE games anymore? I did an ebay search and didn't see one for AC/DC (not even a premium flyer), Avatar, Tron or Transformers.

My guess is this is the only flyer we will see for X-Men.

Why do people keeping calling these "dolls"? Dolls are like...Cabbage Patch Kids and sh*t....these are "figures" or "busts"

The box and packing materials weigh 30 pounds??

good lord yes. That box is 25lbs easy.

You are probably right...I just never thought about it before!

Cool flyer, by the way....

#2159 11 years ago
Quoted from DugFreez:

Sounds a bit late for a test. What if something is found that needs changing....aren't games supposed to be shipping the very next week?

Test is for software, software you can change. If the playfield layout sucks by the time it goes on test, there isn't much you can do as the tooling is usually already done or mostly done so that you can produce the test machine.

Gents, this is no different than how Bally / Williams ran their tests back in the day. Put them out to see if they can get the first quarter from players, and then tweak the software to make it more fun for people so it can get more and more.

Because the figures are about the same size of most baby dolls.

I always thought that the home buyers were the software testers.

Probably counting the pallet weight too, that would be about 30lbs.

Just a quick question someone might know. The movable ramp on the LE, does it drop the ball or does it slop down to lower?

BTW Although I like the Magneto art the best, looks like the colors might clash with the blue/yellow of the PF.

#2164 11 years ago

Moving ramp is a mystery to me.

I like how the blue LE blends into the upper backslash may look even nicer with a blue display.

#2165 11 years ago

Little OT, but I just picked up one of these:

ebay.com link: NOS XMEN CHILDREN OF THE ATOM MARQUEE TRANSLITE BRAND NEW CAPCOM MARVEL

He has one left. Great price for NOS Capcom large marquee. Goes with the theme.

I'm thinking the ramp just goes side to side. I can't imagine it raising and lowering and them not advertising that as part of the ramps features.

The thing I am most courious about is if the ramp even moves during multi ball or while the ball is not being held (in a scoop, just locked or between balls). The reason I wonder is because I really can't imagine them wanting balls coming off of that ramp when it is between the left ramp and the right drop off location. You could dump it SDTM, onto a sling shot or down the left outlane. I also can't imagine balls "plonking" off the ramp pretty much anywhere in between those locations would be very good for a playfield.

I'm also wondering if there will be any sort of docking bracket for the ramp on the left side. I have a hard time thinking the moving ramp will just butt up against the left ramp nicely like the fake picture shows.

That would make for a nice topper if you had the head room and a way to mount it. Almost just as wide as the pins head.

I'M still wondering where the motor is going to go to move the ramp and how the joint will hold up.

#2169 11 years ago
Quoted from TomGWI:

Yeah in some of the photos the pivot point of that ramp looks kind of "blurry" like he sorted blended it in with photo shop / real pivoting system not present. Though looking closer at the high res photos maybe there's not much more there. Other than at least while in transit, the ramp blocks view of the upper right flipper.. hoping that is pretty brief / transition happens when ball is locked up somewhere.

Cool thought: I'm hoping for Storm there's some elaborate blue/ cool white light show with the color GI / flashers emulating lightning with thunder/rain on the sounds.

#2170 11 years ago

I think it's about time to start calling the first plastics to break.

I say the pointy one on the left side of the right ramp. Broke within a dozen plays I would guess.

I was also wondering, does anyone know if broken plastics and ramps are covered under the first 90 days of warranty?

I also don't see that right ramp entrance staying unbroken for very long unless it comes with protectors.

Is it just me or is stern trying to send signals to space with this pin?? Holy shoot that picture gave me a headache just looking at it!

Y'all enjoy this LED junk, but until they can be changed out with normal bulbs that don't blind me I will pass.

#2173 11 years ago

A few impressions from the pic:

Wolvie seems to be angled more towards the player. Still looks like he's floating over the playfield, and he's still big.

Is there a lamp on the inlane right ramp deflector? That's new.

The illuminated arch windows aren't illuminated yet.

Shame the left ramp/right ramp dock is blurred out.

#2174 11 years ago

The wolverine defiantly twists... Check out his angle in the SR pic. Woo Hoo!!!

#2175 11 years ago

Thats an LE!!

good eye!

#2177 11 years ago

Its just you. Love the lighting!

#2178 11 years ago

finally, a morsel of LE.. so it is possible they'll start shipping soon afterall

#2179 11 years ago

Do you think he really twists? My eyes are not that good to tell. I hope so.

#2180 11 years ago

Love the instruction cards. Leaves a lot to the imagination.

#2181 11 years ago

Yup...might be the first 'real' pic of an LE that we've ever seen!

Keep looking at that pic and they will be worse!

#2183 11 years ago

You are the only one complaining, Spanks. This isn't a Space Shuttle with LEDs. It is a new machine, made with them and accounting for them. Quit shouting at the clouds.

#2184 11 years ago

I will shout at the clouds all day if I want! Hopefully it isn't as bright in person as it is in this picture. After looking at some pictures of ac/dc lit up it looks the same way to me, but not as bad in person.

Looks like the belt buckle is shifted to the right of the magnet hopefully he has some twisting action!

I was worried about my Premium AC/DC after pix came out. But, in person, it looks great. Does not bother my eyes or anything. It will tone down a little more after I change the cool white LEDs to warm. I think Stern should consider the theme and colors of the PF when choosing the LEDs and make a judgement call. TF looks good with cool white cuz of the industrial metal theme going on. AC/DC has warm colors all over the PF and art and should have warm (IMO) LEDs.

#2187 11 years ago

Regarding the moveable ramp; I believe someone posted that Borg stated the ramp moves fast. So I imagine the switch located just before the moveable ramp will be the final trigger of whether the ramp is allowed to dump the ball to the left or right flipper. I'm guessing it's going to move fast enough that no balls will get knocked onto the pf or SDTM. If that's the case, there could be some really cool animations and sound effects associated with iceman and the ramp.

#2188 11 years ago

Here is the pictures from FB today, just posted for all to see. Seriously need some better photos and some video soon

Need video!!

I thought it may be a photoshop mess up, but it actually appears as though the iceman ramp is going to completely bypass both of the right inlane switches. That is weird.

#2192 11 years ago

I think I will just put this here.

Good catch. That had better be an export.

I'm thinking they are building the ones for over seas right now.

#2200 11 years ago

Yes or No on the blue XPIN display for Wolverine LE? Too much blue with the mirrored backglass and blue trim?
