Quoted from NimblePin:I'm going to try some reverse psychology on Gary. If I show pics of Vodka maybe he'll show pics of X-Men! Well, that- or possibly his balls...
It's worth a shot! (crosses fingers)

If you guys shop Costco the kirkland vodka is really gray goose, I swear they told me in orientation and if you do your own research
Quoted from SealClubber:I would rather there be no video mode. Most just aren't fun after the first couple of times.
Really I liked it on TS and JY, but then agian those were the only two ive owned to have it. I like a pin that has it all. I should of kept TS my 1st pin
Quoted from pmWolf:Can somebody get Borg a Pinside account and have him start posting on here? Maybe throw up a pic or two that he shot with his cell phone, or something?
I'd be happy with super-grainy, blurred pics at this point.

Seriosly
Quoted from pmWolf:Still wondering if Wolverine DOES anything...like turn, or tilt, or just sit there motionless.
Seriously, are there any mechanics to the pro version like there was in SM, IM, TSSP, FG, or all the other Sterns. I hope it wasnt made cheap if Borge had all this time on making it an all
Quoted from mnpinball:It's going to be a very HOT game. No premiums, the comic book collectors getting in late on the news of this game, lots of mechanical action, sweet custom dots and music, a young new team that loves the theme and "knows" the theme, it all adds up to a big win ! Oh, and more than meets the eye in software, lots of mini modes and things not in the inserts Multiple mini wizard modes etc.... It will be a $10k pin I predict by Christmas. Supply/demand will drive it.
The whole software team is in on this, The new young guys Waison and Mike are big comic guys and Lyman, Lonnie are also helping with code. Mark Galvez is doing an awesome job on custom dots. David Thiel is creating a huge sound package utilizing the expanded memory capabilities. Each character has it's own tune and there are secret hidden modes as well.
Can't wait !
What Mechanical action? I want to know please. Im asking about the pro version I know the mechanics on the LE
Quoted from Eskaybee:Missing TOTAN yet?
Personally speaking, I think you made the right decision. If I didn't already have the money for this XMLE, I'd give my left nut for it!
LMAO I love the looks sound and all of TOTAN but im an X-Men and Wolverine fan 1st, he was always my Avatar since 2005. I dont know if Stern made a bet saying "I bet I can get Donny to sell his Totan with all thoes fancy and rare mods and poooof.
One feature im curious about is the blackbird launcher. "Molded Magneto and Wolverine figures are prominent playfield features, and the game incorporates a launcher for the Blackbird hypersonic airplane. Special game modes relate to the most exciting events in the X-Men universe." I want to know about it, you dont see it in the pics. Is it something we havent seen or do you pull the plunger leti it go and see an image of the blackbird on the red dmd.
Quoted from TomGWI:I'm hoping the Storm backboard will have some flashers behing it for a lightning effect.
Me too, according to the looks there are 7 characters to battle the enemies. I hope you can choose what 3 characters/balls you want to battle with, just like you got to choose what ACDC song you wanted to play.
Quoted from Khabbi:This just posted on Facebook! XM-LE in final tests! YES!! And this pic makes me happy I picked the Wolverine edition!
What are you thinking to choose. Is she picking what character to play as or character to challenge. I like choices x-men_pin.png
Quoted from pmWolf:So....any word on this yet?
When can we expect to start seeing pics?
The only details I've seen came from MNPinball:
********************************
Borg's game production starts in about 30 days for the Pro (Europe). 2 ramps,
3 flippers, captive balls, multiple ball interaction toys, scoop, a magnet or two +, a VUK that serves somewhat of 2 different exits or speed you could say to start things off. Custom molded toys, nothing from Kmart. No drop targets. The upper right flipper is supposed to have 4 shots alone. The main toy is an all new mech that is fresh and never been done before. When people see the layout, it will remind them of a reversed Tron kind of feel.
********************************
....and that was a month ago.
Just wondering if there was any more news...

Here's my Arcade: http://i.imgur.com/cyCng.jpg
Maybe the all new mech wil be the magnet forming an X and rotating, ive never seen that done
Quoted from DugFreez:I'm amazed that you are amazed. There are like 15+ X-Men pinball machines on ebay and have been for a couple of weeks. I'm afraid there are no bargains to be found though.
Its not a Buy It Now, yeah I know there are plenty of those Im talking an auction old school 1999 ebay listing.
Quoted from ThunderLips:It was pretty hot in there yesterday but they had fans going everywhere and everyone was still working away.
LOL....these are my last 2 pics I promise. The blurry one is a pic of my wife playing:
Is that a red laser or light under Magnetos hand pointed at the magnet with a spinning disk. Some pics you see it red and some you don't
Quoted from gambit3113:No worries there. This is a shooter. I haven't seen anything I would call "random" about the shots or modes. You even get to pick your Villain mode, and the order to collect heroes is apparently a strategy call. If the scoring is balanced enough, I can see this being a tournament favorite.
Yeah it sounded like if you fight Juggernaught you needed Cyclops to shoot his helmet off. Sounds fun and cant wait.
Oh man played the hell out of it last night. Its so epic, very very deep. Its so awesome the X with character names is even 3-D. It's so awesome to watch the lights while its on stand by. The X in 3-D meaning the blue is higher than the yellow, hard to describe it. A must see in person videos don't do justice. Ill rate this game soon its just so deep, and I know there is way much more to it. We need to update the LE info. There are 300 wolverines not 250.

Quoted from Eskaybee:I've been meaning to ask Donnie, are you missing TOTAN yet or is xmen the real deal?
Quoted from SealClubber:Yeah, right now I would have to rate it not so good in the scoring and annoying sounds/quotes sections. "Hey Xavior, I got it, how about a psychic blast to the face? Now shut up and drink your Metamucil. GAWD!"

Quoted from levcrush:Yes! My Wolverine LE has finally arrived. #181 to go with my copy of Incredible Hulk #181 (Wolverine's first full appearance). Sweeet!
Now I have to find room to set it up....GEEZ...could be boxed up for weeks!
Nice I was wondering who was gonna get that #, Congrats
Quoted from Fsdre:Hello everyone, I found this forum when doing some searching on the x men stern pinball machine, I currently do not own any pinball machines but am thinking about making this my first one to add to my xmen collection and to have fun playing pinball. I was wondering what everyone thought of the pro vs LE edition and if I wanted to buy one of the versions where is the best place to buy one. I live in the Detroit area but I am assuming these are typically bought online. Thanks everyone for all your information.
Welcome to pinside Fsdre, your best bet is to have Navl deliver http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fsft-xmen-wolverine-12/page/2#post-366465 smassa X-MEN LE to you. This it the best deal you will find saving you $800_$1000. Also #12 out of 300 made is nice. All the others want 7300+ and shipping on top of that so you might as well save $$

Quoted from YZRider926:Your the second person I heard this from. Do you think they'll make it there? Do we have another TRON LE on our hands?
Yep I remember that rumor too, and the guy who said it is selling one of his 2 XMLE. Why not wait till Christmas then.

Quoted from Kingoftron:Anyone else totally stoked for The Wolverine later this month and Days of Futures Past next summer? Can't wait for both.
Oh Hell yeah, I'm gonna see them both in 3D. That's kick ass the sentinels are going to finally be in the movies,since he is going with that era from the comic books
The ice ramp is cool, but a gimmick. The spinning disk with flashers and magnet , popping up Nightcrawler on two sides, along with color changing GI's during game play and enemy selection however is fan fuc$ing tastic in this game.
I guess with the new update...you can shut off the ramp if you don't like it. I like it to much to do that. I do love the options they have added with the updates.
No I love the ramp. Hell I pimped mine out like some of us, Its just bling when its activated. If you were wondering Wolverine is wearing a Zip Tie cast because the ball would hang up, It now has the newer model.

Quoted from Apollyon:With the new movie coming up, it makes total sense for Stern to finish Xmen's code. Polish it and make it outstanding, and then re-run the pro models.
Not that they will though...
I don't know, that's the word out on the street though,

Quoted from Wamprat:On a side note has anyone had problems with the wolvie figure breaking?
I am now on my 3rd figure since buying new around this time last year, the left arm on the first figure broke off after about 2 months and the replacement started cracking around the waist of the figure a couple of weeks ago.
Besides from the unfinished code this is my other major gripe. I hope this is the last time I will have to replace the figure but I remain unconvinced. Might have to order a few more figures for the future.
I still have to add some mirror blades, a couple more hemi mods and leds to mine, I guess I will do that when replacing the wolvie figure again.
Yours is the first case Ive heard

OMG im so excited about this movie franchise, Im obviosly a huge X-Men fan. Bryan Singer must have so much hope that Days Of Future Past will be great, he is making a X-Men: Apocalypse Set for May 27, 2016. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/180637-x-men-apocalypse-set-for-may-27-2016. I wish Wolverine and the X-men season 2 happened, I was so excited to see Apocalypse was going to be in it.

Anyone have any high quality custom game play and and rule cards to sell. I will gladly send a paypal donation to you. Preferably looking for sexy rouge and villians. Im tired of my stock cards so Ill look at all offers. Thanks Donny
Much appreciated MrBellMan, but I couldnt get these to print right. What should I set the settings to, to print perfect?,Ive tried those before, when they were first posted. You have the same exact ones I want, Hook a brother up
Quoted from toyboy6:Donny, I made these a few months back...
Scott

Quoted from HighProtein:How well has this game done on route in a comic shop environment,
debating putting one in one in the future...
Im surprised they havent had one in the AMC show comic book men, Its definetly a good way to get some attention, play, and talk about on all superhero themed pins. You would think there would be one in the Secret Stash. I heard somewhere Jason Mewes has a copy 9.8 CGC Incredible Hulk 181 in his collection.

Quoted from Audioenslaved:Just wondering if anyone has looked at replacing the crappy decalled switch of the night crawlers into something like the troll setup on MM? It's be an awesome mod and add some real Polish to the game too
I was hoping for a 3-D molded face too. The lights from pinballrefinery.com are a must have behind the targets until someone makes a better mod in the mean time.

Quoted from CraigC:what killed it?
-c
All the audio collected from the 92 animated series to today's were all in different audio quality from analog to digital and it just didn't sound right. Some quotes too short, static, or just poor hard to hear. I wanted the animated series intro song and movie intro song at least, but I haven't heard a peep on at least that
Quoted from pmWolf:What if all the audio was collected from the various X-Men movies?
I bet the quality would be better...but I don't know if that is a desirable voice set.
Sure, Patrick Stewart would be cool...but I don't know if we are all itching for Kelsey Grammar and Halle Berry...
Pete
I sent Gambit a flash drive with all the movies, All 92' animated series, All of Wolverine and the X-men series, sound clips from the games. I haven't heard a peep from him on this project or on pinside period. I don't know what's going on

Quoted from DugFreez:The rated R announcement was made on April 1st. I'm still not sure if it was an April fools joke or not.

I don't want the last code to be it, It needs a good last tweak. Stern, I know you're listening and we were all so excited when the rumor came true when we all saw this video that looked like you were excited too
. Please don't abandon this game. You have something good here and have came along way, please final touch these bugs, call outs, and wizard modes. There's another movie and two spin offs next year with the X-Men franchise (Gambit) and (Deadpool) which are already in the game. Adding (Apocalypse) for a double secret mode would be epic! Making this game a great pay off for a VE in years. Oh and P.S. we need a good Topper like you've been making for the last 2 Borg games

I love how Storm's backboard lights up with lightning strikes. Its so vivid and you captured it well ABARAKURO. Thats a $284.99 mod to add to some games like MM from http://www.pinballdecals.com/PartsByGamePages/MM_Page.html. I wonder if Stern will ever do that again.

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

Ahh! you got me all excited, being an orange star next to the topic and nothing. Well we have Deadpool in the game and now word on the street Juggernaut will be in Deadpool 2! It sure is fun playing Hero's VS Villian's in this game! So many shots, combos, and executions with visual aspects.
