Stern - Avengers Pinball (late 2012)

[swinks]

Any members order a Avengers Pro, or a Avengers LE in the last 2 weeks over n above Swinksys Pro and Freihlers Hulk LE ?   

I'm looking forward to getting mineespecially when so many have said it is a good fun layout / game - can't wait. Alot of people are very happy with their machines apart from a few visibility issues which some guys are starting to nut out and come up with some neat solutions (for the LE's).

 I don't think you could go wron with an Avengers purchase. At the end of the day, it's a brand new pinball machine and lots of fun to be had. But, will it end up like a Transformers or a Tron, time will tell. My choice would be a blue Premium, but would get fun out of buying a Pro and modding it with powder coated rails and LEDs etc.

I would have liked a LE but $3k difference, and sure I will be happy with mine and yes plans for some custom stuff down the track just to personalise it a little.

here are a few under the hood shots out of interest:
- they are painting most of the cabinets now 
- it looks like they have super bright leds on little circuit boards for the inserts now

around the 3rd to 4th week of Jan, looking forward to it,

it looks like they have super bright leds on little circuit boards for the inserts now

is this on any previous stern games?

I know they are switching to this sort of system with the new SAM 2.0 system and trialling the full blown version with the board sets in 10 AC/DC premiums and also on "The Pin". It's probably a cross over on these LE's which is pretty cool.

believe it or not, Avengers, Xmen and LOTR movies were based on the Original stern pinball theme.

My BIB LE has super brights on boards for inserts to I think that's what Jady means.

Stern was trialing these new insert boards over 2 years ago when Gary Stern went to China and had a full game converted over to modular boards under the playfield with Leds. There is a video around with a few machines down the back of the factory with 2 x machines fully converted over. I know they have been working on the new backbox boards off n on for the past 2 years as well.

Now that demand is up, and Stern has the funds, it looks like they are pushing ahead with the different design from over 2 years ago.

Imagine the machines in 12 months time, will have some cool features. Last of the last will be Avengers probably before the new boardsets n new modular cabling n under playfield boards.

Stern have reloaded the Avengers Pro video back on to their site and back onto youtube after a few small updates.

I just read on the Stern site that they are now able to produce 75 games/machines per day !

I always thought it was around 25 to 40 per day, but its now up to 75 a day, which means they are now almost 100 percent more productive than before.
