What's the average selling price for an excellent condition Iron Man Pro these days? I haven't seen many for sale. Makes me wonder how real the implied price drop on original pins will be when vault editions come out. In the case of MM, I've seen used ones drop a little in price but still on par with what PPS is planning on selling their remake for. Regardless, love it or hate it, it's an avenue for STERN to generate more money to develop new titles and a way for people to get brand new versions of pinball machines they love and adore. Seems to be reasonable to me.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Market has been slow on Iron Man's where I'm at. Encouraging to know that LOTR's might be more affordable if a vault edition comes out...

I agree. In fact, I have a hard time looking at the backglass for the LE version - the heavy gold outlines really detract from the original painting.

My understanding is the Hobbit is still a ways off from being released and STERN would most likely wait a bit longer to maximize TWD sales before offering another NIB.

If there is any content in the machine from the 3rd movie (which I would hope there is), I would suspect that they can't release the pin until after the movie goes public, which is 6 weeks from now at a minimum...

I don't think that will be a big deal - I'm sure their software is smart enough to be able to adjust the coil pulse levels to appropriate levels despite what the line voltage is.

Lol... is it sad that I'm not surprised that someone would do that??
