My wife's friend telling her she would never "allow" her husband to spend so much money on a non-essential items, yet she has multiple designer purses that more than equal the worth of my pins.
I would not be in a marriage where either person needs to ask permission over discretionary funds.
Quoted from SuperPinball:"if you want an MMr simply be patient and buy one later HUO and save plenty."
Since 95% of ALL new pins drop in price, I don't see how this is a "dumb" statement. AC/DC LE and Tron LE are the only exceptions on not waiting to purchase. People criticizing MMR is one thing, saying wait for a HUO one to save money is something else.
In fact patience on this would have been a good move as they are ironing out problems like the slings.
Quoted from SuperPinball:See what they are currently going for "used" and you will find that in fact 95% of the pins increased in price
Sorry to prove you wrong. Here are the latest models produced by Stern. Each is HUO and much lower than NIB. Forget about the first 25/last 25 on a rating system. These are the last 5 games produced from the factory. These are a better value than NIB. They may go up in the future, but that is not what you initially stated. You said it was "dumb" to wait for "HUO".
Besides Tron LE and AC/DC LE show me new pins you do not have to wait 5- 10 years to appreciate.

Quoted from SuperPinball:Thank you jimjim66 for at least making an effort to provide facts and evidence but I think we can see that the original statement of 95% of all NIB will go down is not factually correct, at least if its a descent machine.
Why are you using the top 25, most of those took over 20 years to top what they were NIB, and 90% of them are not available NIB. In fact I have owned most of the B/W and I bought them after they were used and I STILL got them below NIB prices. (Not 10 years later, but close to after production.)
Are suggesting keeping a pin in a box for 20 years to watch it appreciate? Otherwise, I don't understand what you are saying as only 4-5 of the top 25 can be bought NIB, with only 2 actually being in production.
Quoted from SuperPinball:LE for $6000
Heck no, I wish. I got it for 7200 shipped. And that was considered a great deal.
Quoted from SuperPinball:The VE probably had something to do with the XMLE market price not being as high as it's supposed to be.
There was NO VE. That is why it is even harder to swallow. The aux board problems, the code, and wolverine toy is what brought it down.
Quoted from SuperPinball:Listing #2 Premium NIB went for around $6000-$6500, ok some saving but hardy "plenty".
Okay, I got a better quote I turned down as I did not have the funds. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ft-the-avengers-le-blue-version. Not a premium, but an LE for almost 1500 less, with mods.
You got to give me this one.
