X-Men - Mods
« on: June 08, 2012, 08:12:45 PM »
I know this is early but since pinheads around the world are already talking about how to mod their brand new machine that they have only ordered today (press release day - 8th of June), I thought I may as well capture the ideas as they come along to help those considering any mods.

Here is a link to when the machine was released:

Here is the link to the thread when speculation of X-Men occurred, press release (page 18) etc:

same guy that photoshopped the chrome look did another with a black nickel treatment - a few weird reflections but would be a nice different effect.

Here is another one where people were saying they like the pro art better than the LE - more specifically the translite. Below is a picture of the LE with it's original glass then a second photo with the pro translate photoshopped in.

Stern translites seem readily available, but will we see replacement limited edition translites for AC/DC + X-Men available to purchase down the track?

Cheers!
Adam.

coloured dmd's will be available soon:

http://xpinpinball.com/products/displays/XP-DMD

for around the $325 US

a blue one would look awesome on the x-men


that aside they will be doing red, orange, green and blue dmd's, told they will be suited for Stern (not sure on 1/3 2/3 displays as well as full screens) and hopefully available for the 90's WMS / Bally's as could make a creature of a WH20 look even better.

Yeah I saw them on pinside, it's good to see that the design changed to 3 claw marks to match wolvies claws. They look good.
The X-men thread on pinside is a good read.

just in case anyone was curious about the changing out backglasses:

from pin side: "Stern won't sell LE backglasses. And if yours breaks, you have to send whatever is left of it back to them to get a replacement.

The Pro translites are another matter, you can order those from just about any Stern parts distributor."

Lets hope no-one drops a LE backglass then.
To me the Pro is a much better looking package than the 2 LE machines. Either blue or red, they are just right over the top. This is the only thing stopping me from grabbing a LE X-men, besides the fact I have not played it yet or even seen a video of the gameplay.
Cmon Stern, pull ya pants up!!!...... (((

Seems not much interest/hype with this new title here in oz.

Hopefully the game play is better than it looks?

Lets hope there isn't too much interest over here, keep the numbers down.
Game looks great compared to the last stern pro released, with superior artwork and shot combos.
