About This Machine

The X-Men Magneto LE, released by Stern Pinball on June 29, 2012, is a limited-edition variant of Stern's X-Men title, produced in a confirmed run of 250 units. Designed by John Borg, this machine draws its theming from the iconic Marvel character Magneto, distinguished from the Pro model by red powder-coated trim, a mirrored backglass in place of a translite, and additional mechanical features.

Gameplay is where the X-Men Magneto LE shines, with three flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, two magnets, and a magnetic spinning disc, plus pop-up targets alongside the standard standup targets and spinning target. A standout feature is the motorized right ramp, which can pivot to deliver the ball to the left ramp, adding an innovative twist to the traditional layout. The machine supports multiball with four installed pinballs, and includes a vertical up-kicker, scoop, dual up-post captive ball lock, dual right inlanes, and speech.

The X-Men Magneto LE's design and artwork, credited to Kevin O'Connor and Stephen Jensen, showcase Stern Pinball's commitment to creating visually striking machines centered on its Marvel license. As a limited run of only 250 confirmed units, this machine is a genuine collector's item within the X-Men pinball family, which also includes the X-Men (Pro) and X-Men Wolverine LE.
