    Best layout I've seen in pinball in a very long time. Danger is taking it in a new direction. It looks very fun.
    They have plenty of fan layouts for newer players (venom), this is what Pinball has needed so bad. Lower third is brilliant design.

      I'm loving how unique it is, I think people are going to love it! I can't wait to play it, I think with so many "safe layout games" this is really pushing on what's possible and I think that's pretty cool. I appreciate you listening, thank you for the support!

    I'm so glad you have ventured into the world of pinball. I got into it about 2021 or so and it opened up a whole new library of games and techniques to explore. Also, a great reason to start visiting arcades again! This table is fire for sure. I haven't really resonated with comics or the Marvel world in my past, so the theme is just 'ok' to me. But I felt the same with Godzilla and that's one of my favorite pins now. Really looking forward to playing this one!

    Wow, just noticed by the left flipper, there is not a slingshot but it looks if you try yo catch it and it rolls back up the inlane there is a one way gate that will kick the ball back towards the middle of the flippers! Man and what is that target below the left fliippers by the apron?..There are a bunch of new different things in this machine...dude..... I gotta have it! Even if I can only grab a pro!

      Fired up for sure. I was thinking we'd both struggle through a game of Pulp Fiction but I'll have.y Stern IC loaded and ready to go at Expo. Although, I have a hunch we may have a chance to play sooner.
      I'm not making room in the lineup just yet but I'm intrigued by this release. Alphabetically, it slots perfectly between CCr LE and Jack*Bot. It's going to be an interesting Q4. Especially, if our friends at CGC turn my 18 month old Pulp Fiction LE deposit into an actual machine.

    I think they should have a way for a beginner to even understand that there is a path in pinball. Almost everyone I talk about Pinball they only think they try to keep the ball from draining. They have no clue about the game inside it.
    As for the play field on this one on the left I think they should not allow it to be open until you get either a point total or complete a mission.
    Another thing I think would take piniball is to have a different ball type. Maybe a 2x points ball that is a different color. Or a different ball for accomplishing mission.

      For Sterns I always tell people playing about insider connected. In the updated app you can go under each machine and the rules are listed. So it is a good starting point to learning the game if you don’t have anyone to teach you.

    Maybe I just live in a weird spot - but there are a handful of arcades with over a dozen pins each, and another half dozen spots with maybe 3-5 games each. Only one of those smaller spots with 4 pins stocks a Pro. The rest are Premiums and LEs. A surprising number of LEs, at the arcades. I'm not sure that this represents the market, but it's what I'm seeing.

There are some on location but it’s not really pinhead friendly. I am actually trying to do my part and operate pins but I’ve been trying to pick up and flip projects to put funds together.
