If you want to see what the Hulk has shaking above his head, it appears that the metal ramp in fron to the hulk actually seperates into half and moves backwards on a arc and stands above the Hulks head. It can be clearly seen by stufying the photos in the following link.

Thats why they have made the main ramp from metal, because it needs to seperate, go backwards on a arc motion and move backwards n forwards above the Hulks head. Quite alot of thinking must have gone into this. A smart feature. A plastic normal ramp would never have been rigid enough.

LE photos below of ramp moving backwards over Hulks head. (if the photos are small, maybe click on them to enlarge).

Also, on Pro model, balls lock and stay on back left ramp with the lock lights n plastic indicator set, but with the LE, balls lock on the right ramp and the lock indicator plastic has been moved down to the right middle. Unlike the last 2 x titles from Stern, this Avengers title actually has vast differences between Pro model and the LE model, as opposed to the very subtle differences mechanically on the last few titles.

With the LE having a different headbox as well, I expect Le models will get further n further apart from the Pro models over the next few titles...as long as this doesnt turn into price hikes, its good news for Stern buyers of LE models.
It begs the question, will the Premium model feature from now on, on all models, or just some models...and again, will the pricing be attractive for those that wanted a LE model, but missed out...yes, u will get the same playfield perhaps, but how much of a $ difference will it be between the Pro and the Premium...interesting to see which models get LCD with Stern and which wont..(assuming Pro wont to save $ for operators)...and the size of the LCD...will it just replace the dotmatrix or be bigger n positioned differently...lots of good stuff for Stern fans to look forward to..

Whats the next Stern title....will it have LCD...and what new features...fun n interesting times ahead.
