Summary

Hosts analyze Stern X-Men and JJP Avatar reveals; X-Men praised for geometry, Avatar's art impressive but feature questions raised.

Eclectic Gamers discusses two major pinball reveals: Stern's Uncanny X-Men (designed by Jack Danger, $7,000-$13,000, offset layout with three flippers) and Jersey Jack Pinball's Avatar: The Battle for Pandora (Mark Seiden first JJP release, $12,000-$15,000, six flippers with lower playfields). Both games received positive initial sentiment, though hosts express concerns about X-Men's bare-bones code at launch and Avatar's feature density relative to pricing, questioning whether the design justifies the premium cost.
