Being reading alot of other forums and many are having issues with spinning disk and wolverine figure hands blocking ramp plus many other issues especially code. Pro is being considered are better option with the Pro. Kiss is also a rumour being talked about!! If so deposit will be made yesterday!

Nightcrawler issues as well wih possible pf wear down the rd from both nightcrawlers and spinning disc and the general feeling on the iceramp is it is pretty lame too.
My inital thought was the LE was the wtg but it looks like the pro will be the better machine. I will wait for avengers, there will still be plenty of new x-men pros around when avengers is released next( looks like it will be ready for xmas)
Kiss I can live without big time just like led zep but I can see why many would be keen on one.

I bought a Wolverine. Had to cut the Magnetto switch metal arm, since it was getting stuck. I'm really happy with this pin, just needs software tweaking.

X Men Pro shld be arriving at Bruce's - AMD this next fortnight.
I think the PRO will be popular on this model because people can get into it for just over $6,000 ($6200 as listed to date).

I am most looking forward to how the pixels on the cabinet look. Code will be updated in time, so no great hassle there. Really looking forward to see how the playfield/general play feels on the PRO model.

The code has already had a very nice update this week and is just about complete.
The pro should play a little fatser than the LE.
