The ONLY thing the X Men machine needs is a set of mirror blades IF u want it to look wider etc. Otherwise, it really needs nothing whatsoever.
Also, the X Men Pro at Surfers Paradise, as of this afternoon, whilst opened up n cleaned etc, has had 1400 games in just over a week. The pop bumper count is over 90,000 hits, the front scoop has had over 35,000 hits and shows no wear at all. If the game is used in a home environment, it would basically never cop any wear at all really, but I guess for $65, a cliffy wont hurt, if u like the look of it.
A week at timezone for a pinball game is like a years torture from a home collector on speed. Watching people hitting both flipper buttons for 20 minutes non stop is extremely painful.
Is there a law against pinball abuse out in the wild ? lol
Besides from the blades and the shaker( which is being installed by amd for me) both of which are aftermarket costs I will be adding the cliffy, non ghosting leds and a custom topper.
I like the look of some of those figues but I agree that you wouldn't want to overload the machine with them.
