Quoted from Jeep2682:Sure, that would be a great idea. I have attached a photo of my new wolverine and also a photo from under the playfield so you can help ID where to connect the flasher to. Thank you for the help
You're gonna burn your retinas out without a frosted dome on that scoop bulb.
Quoted from Jediturtle:Geez...I've never even sniffed Dark Phoenix! I've managed Danger Room maybe 3-4 times in the six years I've owned it. Love the game, but find it really difficult to get far in. Nice work!
I have to say, I haven’t changed any settings since I got it so I’m not exactly sure what it is set on. I can stack a villain after starting a hero, but not vice versa.
This game was amazing though. I hit everything I wanted except for Cyclops. It was the last holdout. Took 3 attempts to finally beat the mode.
So, no Danger a Room. Right to Dark Phoenix.
The shots are amazing in this pin. I like the callouts in the pin for the most part. Beast makes me want to kick a puppy though.
Quoted from gweempose:Once you get good at hitting the Xavier shot, it's very easy to get the ball to the left inlane from an Iceman ramp feed.
Agreed. One of my favorite shots. Cyclops is a great shot too to try and feed the upper right flipper. Ice Man is the toughest, not because of the moving ramp, just the positioning.
Quoted from DaddyR1013:Has anyone had an issue with the Xavier scoop dropping ball on right side of ramp and ball landing in middle of the play field instead of coming down the left ramp? I added plastic protectors to the game under every plastic and I am wondering if that is the issue???
I haven’t
Quoted from PavBall:I never knew Deadpool was on the side art of Magneto. That’s really neat!!
Didn't even realize! Very cool.
Quoted from FatPanda:Looking to join the club in a few days! It will be a Magneto LE. Anything I should get for it right away? I'll be doing the newton ball mod. Any suggestions on which Wolverine to put on top? Do I need a cliffy on the scoop? Plastic protectors? Shaker motor worth it?
This is the Wolvie you want. Easily separates from the base by hand.

Quoted from Jediturtle:It's good looking no doubt, but will not handle an airball. This is the one that my buddy lost an arm quickly on.
I've had it installed for months. No issue at all. I really don't have airballs either.
With amazon, you can always buy another and return the old broken one. At least that's what I heard 
Quoted from tslayer71:Looking Good! So I take it you bought your topper along time ago? Looks like the pinsider who made them is 'inactive'.....
Tilttopper still makes the magneto to order. [email protected]
$190 plus shipping I think.
Quoted from rotordave:Brotherhood - the multiball you qualify by hitting the right targets.
Hellfire - the multiball you qualify by hitting the left targets
Dark Phoenix - wizard for all the villains completed
Danger room - wizard for all the heroes completed

I finally got Danger Room the other day but didn't go past the 2nd round. 
Quoted from FatPanda:Thanks for the pointers! I have been trying to complete as many X-Men as I can and if Wolverine is ready to start, then I focus on trying to stack a villian with Wolverine. Same with Magneto. It was just that I had worked soooo hard and had a helluva game (or so I thought) but only eeked out the 121 mill.
What's this thing with Brotherhood and villians? In order to start Dark Phoenix, do the X-Men need to be completed? For Danger Room, is it all villian and X-Men that need to be completed or just qualified?
Dark Phoenix is amazing. Freakin' amazing.
Quoted from FatPanda:Is anyone having an issue where a Xavier shot also registers a Storm shot (as it comes down the wireform)? Or is this normal? But when Storm is active, a Xavier shot will not register the Storm shot. I have to hit a side ramp to complete it.
Never had that. Seems like some people have issues I've never seen on my game.
Thankfully mine is rock solid as heck so far.
Quoted from bwalter:My Magneto LE also has a mushrooming magnet in front of Wolverine. I've had the game since June '17 and I think it's been like that since I got it -- I assumed it was just built that way. Is something causing the magnet to mushroom slowly over time?
Usually because it’s not level w/the playfield (too high)
Quoted from jokerpoker:Still loving my MagnetoLE. Bought it back just recently from the guy i sold it to 4 yrs ago.
Such a great game and fully loaded like an LE should be. [quoted image]
It definitely has the LE look and feel. It's a solid pin.
I recommend this bust. Zip tie it w/blue zips. You’ll never notice them. It’ll still “move” a little to cushion air balls.

Quoted from desertT1:That one is pretty cool and I hadn't seen it before. Do you have any pictures of how to route/orient the zip ties?
Don’t have the game anymore but tried adding pics (on mobile) in hope they’re in here.
There is a post behind wolverine that was easy to wrap around. I just put some double sided Velcro on bottom of him for extra support. Easy reversal to old wovie.

Great looking though!
I never had air balls on my LE. Wasn’t an issue.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I recently picked up an X Men pro which has the newton ball mod installed where the big Wolverine figure used to be.
Is there a consensus replacement figure to plop on top of that thing? THe original figure was bashed beyond use.
I used this one CrazyLevi

It worked great. I used some 2-sided tape on the underside but also a matching blue zip tie to attach it to the post behind. Super stable. Just rip the top off the base.
IMG_0365 (resized).jpgIMG_0366 (resized).jpgQuoted from cleanandlevel:seriously considering joining the club. I have an Avatar and a TRON, and my buddy has an iron man and I really like that era of stern. Borg is the man.
I'm thinking Xmen is going to be just as good, I'm just a bit worried that since I have a tmnt it will be more of the same...
It plays much different than TMNT. Not to say it's "easy" but easiER. I don't feel like they're mirror images of each other at all. TMNT is faster.
FTR I really loved this game. I just reached Dark Phoenix a few times (don't ask me how. Probably b/c I played it so much). It's a very cool mode. I felt like I saw all I needed to see. I do miss it though. It's a good mix of shots and you can play it casually or seriously and it's not brutal. Love the Magneto MB start. The LE is damn beautiful. Bugs me when people replace the magneto figure with a doll. Doesn't make sense. Upgrading Wolverine is not 100% necessary but I understand why.
Quoted from king_pin:Any details about how you modded this and how wolverine is mounted?
FYI I used this when I had it and simply used a matching blue zip tie (like the belt) to mount it from torso up.
