someone it the states has already photoshopped the Wolverine LE with a chrome trim kit to determine if that's the way to go - looks better I reckon

+1 mate, I am really stoked to see another comic based pin. It's been a long time between drinks since Judge Dredd.

As for mods, people have been saying that x-men it is like the tron I wonder if a protector should be crafted soon to protect the hole on all those nice machines.

Crome trim looks way better, just can't see this title having the hype that AC DC had!!!
Pinballs in my collection Elvira, Stern Grand Prix, Bally Corvette, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Judge Dredd, Black Rose and Data East Guns n Roses.

got love photoshop or lack of.

Have a close look at the shooter lane on the timbers and there are 2 sets of holes visible - so playfields must have all been Pro ( the Nightcrawler Photo Shopped in ) and then pulled off the right side plastic ramp and installed the swinging one (or did they). A shame they didn't PS the holes out.

So maybe the the night crawler graphic / model may still change a little.

Also it looks like the swinging ramp may Wipe Out the slingshot posted light ???

Your right it's in league of it's own.
Haven't played X-Men yet obviously..... but it wouldn't take much to be better than ACDC Pro, that game is just plain ugly and plays like the boat anchor it is.

Very smart theme though for the Aussie market. They will turn over some coin in the pubs and arcades.

inside said this today:

"I'm hearing that the all the custom dot work by Galvez is another over the top job and cool as hell like AC/DC. As well as David Thiel utilizing the double memory capacity for the sounds package. Ever character has it's own tune and mode. Deep rule set."
