There's probably 10-12 collectors in FL who bought an XM LE, or this would've been sold before the last price drop, I'm guessing.
Probably the best time to buy an XM ever.
I think it will take some time, but there's a high likelihood of the code on XM being fixed to perfection, eventually. Waison and Borg do not want an albatross of code errors around their necks going forward, especially with it being Waison's first game.
With the magnet improvements, this game was more chaos and randomness than any Stern I've played. Very deep. Infinite combo possibilites, flow, sharp-shooting, etc. It's going to be a great one, just need to tweak the rules and fix the bugs.
If shipping wasn't involved for me (if I was local) I would have already jumped on this bad boy, great price.
It's also a good time to buy because so much cash is going or gone out for TRON, AC/DC, avengers, and the anticipated star trek and Metallica pins. I suppose predator, bhza, and hobbit may play a role too. But xmen is great for the value

I agree. People yell out when the magneto Multi ball takes off. Its been a huge hit in my lineup. I of course want it all perfect but its fun to have new folks play and be blown away. Everything is there for this to be epic.
Grrrrrrrr. why won't this sell. I want this sooo bad and it's right down the road. So fricken tempting and an unbelievable price. I will be absolutely shocked if this lasts beyond today. If I hadn't bought AVLE two weeks ago it would be gone.

It's only been a few hours. I think it will sell.

Quoted from eggbert52:It's only been a few hours. I think it will sell.
Exactly, I thought this would sell in a heartbeat at 5300
Quoted from eggbert52:So...I've got Avengers Hulk #137 and #138 coming Wednesday
Looks like someone is hoping Avengers it's the next Tron/ACDC and not TF/XMEN.
Avengers is a good/great pin. Stern knows this and will make premiums so I do not think Hulk will go up that much more in value. Speculating for a couple hundred $ max is kinda foolish. I just do not see Hulks crossing $7200.00 as the premiums will soften the market a bit especially if Stern puts a blue DMD in it Though who knows AC/DC BIB gained a lot of value then again the LE's sold out immediately with Distributors etc.., Hulks are still available now.

Agree entirely. However, I don't see Hulks LOSING value...whereas X-Men did. Pretty sure I'll be OK. 
Also, my price on the two Hulks will never go down.

AC/DC was the first "Premium" and don't know if everyone knew what to expect from it. I think that is part of the reason the AC/DC LE's sold out so quickly. Plus they released the LE's first knowing people will not want to wait for the premium. As much as I wanted Avengers I am more then happy waiting for the Premium if I ended up liking the gameplay and code. Besides the real backglass I don't think there are any other features the LE offers that I really feel I missing out on. Not taking anything away from the Hulk or Avengers LE's because they do look badass, but think others might be of the same mindset that they can wait and go with a Premium. Now if Stern pulls the plug on the Premiums then I would expect the LE's to go up, however it's not a given since TF LE and XMEN LE didn't increase in price and they didn't have a premium. Time will tell and code will likely determine the fate of Avengers, much like every other game once the honeymoon ends.
So I took a lot of time when considering opinions like yours BoJo and very good comments by the way. However, HULK is just a little different and BIBLE wasn't really that much of a stark difference. Regardless, BIBLE's are still selling for $10K so I'm pretty OK with two Hulks.

Nothing wrong with that and if you like the Hulk LE then I think you made a great decision. At the end of the day if you like it that is all that matters and this comes from a TF owner who is more then happy owning his TF LE

Heck, love the game so much I might keep both!

Personally, I would be reluctant to buy an LE NIB pin that didn't have Lyman's name associated with it. All of the LE's that have gone up (SM, Tron, ACDC) were primarily Lyman's games. Ropp/Cheng games have gone down in value because of software issues. Maybe this won't be the case with Avenger's, and for the OP's sake I hope the third time's the charm for team Ropp/Cheng.

I give you a lot of credit, after losing a boatload on X-Men LE, you jump into 2 Hulk LE's for $7K each! Hats off to ya. I don't think I could do that, even if I was loaded.
I know everyone talks about BIBLE and Tron LE for going up in price, and sometimes they forget that Avatar LE, Transformers LE, and X-Men LE have all lost considerable value. It's all good though if you are buying to enjoy the game!

Not everything you buy has to appreciate. Tv's, automobiles, cell phones, ipads, PlayStation, Xbox, etc drop significantly after owning them for the most part. Doubt I could get $300 now for my TV that cost 5K new.

Yeah, but not really applicable to what Cobray is saying, since he's commenting on an investment buy, someone purchasing two of something.
When you buy a new iPhone, do you buy a second one new in the box? Do you have another 52" Vizio still in the box hiding in the closet?

No, but comparing an iPhone or flat screen TV to a pin is apples to oranges. The electronic devices are greatly improved in a short amount of time, making them much less desirable than the new models. That doesn't really apply to pins. Avengers isn't going to make make AC/DC less desirable...or MM for that matter.
Quoted from Cobray:and sometimes they forget that Avatar LE, Transformers LE, and X-Men LE have all lost considerable value. It's all good though if you are buying to enjoy the game!
True. But, X-Men was pure speculation on my part as the game hadn't even been released yet before I purchased NIB. Hulk is an amazing machine from what I have played and I'm serious about potentially keeping both.
As it is...I might let the clear coat sit for a couple of weeks before opening the box. Gonna be a couple of busy weeks anyway.
Quoted from PW79:I invest in my retirement & financial well being.
I squander my money on beer, bacon, vacations & pinball.
No wonder I can't buy 2 Hulk's
OK that's deemed as a shot. Since you know nothing about my finances perhaps you care to clarify?

I made $2,200 on my last two sales. Everything is relative.
