PLOR: Avengers Pinball ( Clearwater )
« on: February 14, 2013, 10:01:46 PM »
just got done spending $10 on avengers on location at the Varsity club at US19/sunset point, out with the LOTR ..

price is .50/game

mho: game rocks, has software bug where ejects two balls if you play with the plunger, but otherwise very impressed with the title, 10x better the Xmen.

Man tons of kids there tonight and every video machine, crane game, pool table were taken, everything but the Avengers pin. I was happy anyway. It's a beautiful pin and I need to give it more time, but my god the materials feel cheap. The ramps feel like they are made of the same plastic as the tic tac box in my center console. The ramp that goes across the middle with the Hulk drop targets looked somewhat flimsy and moved when every I launched a ball at it. The cube would hardly spin, I think only once I actually got it to rotate pretty well.

Overall, it was pretty fun and looked good, but still can't get over the cheap look to the plastics compared to the other Sterns I own or have seen. It did not feel dialed in and does need some TLC

I played it there as well tonight. The game def' needs to be tweaked out of the box. The black window ramp needs to have the ball deflector plastic raised. It's nice to have one on location near me. I think once I find all the shots and understand the rules I will really like it.

Yes there is.  50 cents a game, 5/$2.  The outlane posts are set wide open, however, and the game is a pure ball buster as it sits.
