I have left my AC/DC stock without LEDS, will prob do same with X Men, std still looks the goods. X Men has LEDS in pops already and a few around.
Hard to change out stock when it looks so good std. Will have to have a play n see really.

Always YES to the shaker motor. Cant order a BNIB without that mandatory add on. It would be missing something major without that.

So have you ordered a X Men Brett? !@#

YES   ^^^ If u play one Leon, U will want one for sure. Great machine and it looks dam nice. Colours are exceptional everywhere.

There are so many cool mods u can make for x men just from the available general x men toys for sale on eBay. Even big w and k mart had some great stuff when I visited the other day, especially large toys for a custom topper.

I am off to the Sydney markets tomorrow and will have my eyes open for any large x men topper toys, hope to pick up something exceptional for a mod or two.

If I had the extra money I would have bought a second edition tron in a heartbeat, especially cause u can add the el mod wire easily to make a tron le look wise.
U can also get a x men later if u want. Tron is such a cool looking game and both the audio and the dot matrix displays are so cool and unique, it is a excellent game in anyone's collection.

Pete, you will enjoy tron, it's a game you can take your time with, chose your shots wisely and build good points and a great game. U can't have every pin that is just flat out. U need a variety and tron will go perfectly with your acdc Pete.
That new translite is excellent. I reckon the second edition release will hold its value better from a collectors point of view. Can't wait to see yours come pete, Xmas present for sure.

If I wasn't now saving again for Avengers I would seriously consider a Tron.

The Iceman mod is very cool and either this or a cyclops figure should have been put into this part of the playfield and incorporated into the gameplay from day one. It not only looks fantastic lit up in blue led through the see through iceman figure and white led in the flasher but I also think it really adds to the feel of the game in general. The storm/xavier mod is pretty cool too...provides a strobe type effect to the backboard where the storm figure is when in the storm mode, the xavier scoop pulses red led when in use., haven't got the blackbird mod in yet.
Still have to put the mirror blades I got from Jady ages ago into it as well.
I don't think I will spend the money but the pro would look really nice with chrome legs etc as well.

Daz, do u have any photos of any of these mods, or any links to any sales/order pages of where to buy them from etc.  !@#
Thanks in advance.

OK, after looking at Iceman n Cyclops n other little figures that some are adding to X Men,which were good add ons when its daylight and u can see the playfield easily, I have worked out a very simple mod for my X Men Pro that is simple and cost effective that anyone can do by spending $6 tops.

On the X Men Pro, there are 2 Flasher bulbs with Blue dome covers on the Left side of the playfield (representing Magneto) and 2 Yellow Flasher bulbs/domes on the right side of the playfield representing Wolverine.. The Blue ones on the left side look good, n the colour is nice when the flashers go off, but the right side yellow ones dont seem to pop anywhere near as nice as they could.
So, what I have decided to do is replace some. I will change the blue x 2 to red for magneto, and change the yellow x 2 to blue. It will work much better. In fact I was going to add a extra few flasher domes each side of the playfield, well, at least one more of each anyway.

I have incl a photo of the stock playfield with the flasher domes as discussed. Red will look so much better IMO. $6 mod worth doing I think.
*as usual click on the photo for it to double in size.

continued............

With the first photo expanded, u will see there is plenty of room on both the right side and left side of the plastics to add an extra flasher dome, right next to the front flasher domes on both sides.

On the left side, I will add 1 x extra dome cover in front of the existing one, and after changing the colours, I will have 2 x reds on the left side, one front n back, and the added one will be in blue at the front next to the red.

On the right side of the playfield, the added dome cover will sit next to the original one, I will have a blue one at the front and a blue dome cover at the back, and the newly added one will be yellow.
This way, I can utilise existing parts, and the only bill will be for 2 x new red dome covers which I already have, and 1 x extra blue dome, and I only have to add a little wiring, and the flasher bulb holders x 2, which I already have.

I will take photos one I finish it.  ^^^
