I have been on the fence about Stern for a long time. Recently I was at a competition and had a chance to play a couple and decided I would like to buy one. I do have a bunch of games, probably too many, but would be willing to sell one to make space for something new. The games I think i would like the best are Spiderman, Ghostbusters or Iron Man. Although LOTR has great reviews i dont think i want such an epic scale deep game at the moment. I am a bit concerned about the quality issue and guess that i should maybe avoid the vault editions?
What do you guys recommend?

Well,
I just happened to like the themes, plus they have good reputations as great players. I would lean toward ac/dc before Metallica, but Family Guy isnt something I know.
