I think you are going to have a hard time getting the same amount for an arcade as you would fo rmost of those games on the list. Arcades are a tough sell.

BBH. It will complete the set.

we have a HS II;The Getaway, and love it. It gets as much play as our Walking Dead Premium. Although I'm not in law enforcement, I have ALWAYS wanted to run from them, LOL, and too smart to do it in real life, so I live through my pinball machine.

best of luck with your decision!

Since you like super heroes, like I do, I would suggest either the X-men LE or new SM coming out with comic art. XM software is fun and has a lot of great super hero modes. It can be picked up pretty cheap now, so I wouldn't worry about depreciation.

The biggest knock is the wolverine bash toy, I don't think it is a big deal, but if you don't like it there are a bunch of different mods, like the captive ball mod. The spinning disc multiball, LEDs, and pop up nightcrawlers make the LE better in my opinion.

SM is one of my all time favorite flow machines. Rumors from a lot of people say it will be comic based instead of the movie based one currently out there. If the art is great, like XM, then that would fit well with your theme. It is a great layout and fun game.

X-men is awesome game, shots are tight though so non pinheads mite not like it because you have to stop the ball a lot before the next shot to make the game really sing, but you also have wolverine bash toy in close which can start a multiball quicker for non players to keep them interested and for the players its not that easy to get him on your team so the shots take longer for him to activate weapon x multiball the second or third time depending if you have finished the mode, it gets a lot of bad press, the wolverine but I actually like where its placed because strategically you can stack him just after you start a villain mode. I totally love mine an would recommend it , it really is kick ass, I have a getaway to, its a cool game, personally think x-men is on another level..

How cool is that! Congrats! I still like you even though you have horrible taste in beer.

Xmen is a good pin and would go great with IM ans TAV. Waiting for SM VE could be worth while. SM is a great game, but has long playtimes and that may not be so bad with IM's short games. Man my HS2 is fun and a great cop chase game.
HS2 has nice bright red colors that could fit in with your Marvel room nicely for a while. HS2 is kind of like IM for me. Easy rules with some fast and fun modes and you just keep hitting start again and again! Elvis is alright, but may be hard to find in nice shape and if it is in nice shape is it worth $3500-$4000 for how well it plays?

How anout acdc? It is fast and fun with great rules. I did not like it for a couple of months, but now I love it better than........IM?

If you want to sell BH maybe ask the company that is sending the game to you if they want to buy it? I would not open it to try out, but just sell it NIB. Let us know what happens. Happy New Year!

that is a much better and newer version than I envisioned. Nice score. But you better move it quick. Arcades lose value almost as fast as new cars.

Hs2 average $2000
+\- 500 based on condition

Sell TAV and get Xmen and get HS2

I pick WPT. Although it was a hard choice. You have great taste in games.

Without question pick up this game. It is my number two or three ranked of all time.

The game had some early bad press due to bad code but the code is complete and awesome now. The game is deep, you have to be a monster player to get through the entire thing.

Another game I think you should consider is Star Trek. It pairs very well with Iron Man and Avengers as the game play is very different from those two games.

Nope I think the X-Men LE at game galaxy might be for sale tho. It's a pretty fun game. The shots are kind of odd but I really like the rules

Based on your games, mods, and theme, I'd go with XM or SM. Many will sell SM when the VE is announced.

HSII is an awesome game, but tough to find in great condition. I sold one several months back that was in excellent condition with many mods, but those are few and far between.

WPT for sure

Man.....I'm dyin for pin #3...!!!...........good luck..........Joey

Also X-men is a excellent choice, if you consider value for money, WPT would be my first suggestion.

Own this game for over two years, never could approach the final wizard mode, even with extra balls allowed (but I play with wide-open outlanes). The game is really ultra well-thought, and you have plenty of ways to approach it. Should you focus on the cities or on the hands? Multiball? Or play the modes? Chip tricks seem useless until you realize you can score a lot. Hurry ups? Yeah... Use your 3x option wisely!

In other words, this is best balanced ruleset I know. Shots are tight, you can backhand a few of them and I guess the best strategy depends on how reliable you are with each shot.

Keeping in mind 1) I hate poker 2) I find the artwork horrible 3) I am biased towards upper playable PF (and that one really is!)

I will answer your question with a recent photo from my own game room

WPT is the one game you mentioned I have very little experience with. But, of the games I know, Spider-Man would be my first choice. X-Men LE is really good too. I have the Getaway and it's really fun, though very shallow if you're worried about such things. The Getaway is available on the Pinball Arcade app if you want to check it out, although it's just a sampling of what you'd get in real life because of physics, feel, etc.

What are X-Men LEs going for these days? $5K range?

I have to echo Geocab's response... I had HSII for a while. It's fun...but it does kind of end up being a one trick pony...not to say it isn't a game that you should add, play, and enjoy...but something to consider.

I am in law enforcement as well and I have owned HSII twice. It is a fun game, not good as an only pin, and unfortunately that is when I owned it. In your collection I think it would fit just fine.

There's a lot of rules to that game..... and the prices are still low. It won't look as nice as Xmen will next to your other two, but its a great game (mine is hiding in another row, away from the Marvel pins)

Just for information purposes I recently sold my real nice Getaway for $2800 in one day and had two more people lined up behind the one that did buy it......guessing I could have gotten a little more.

There's bound to be a few outliers

Cool! If you were local to me I'd already be working out a deal for my HS2 with you. I have loved the game, but I think it is getting close to 5 years that I've had it.

If you were going against the Super Hero collection, I'd say Tron. It is a great game. But if you want to stick with a Super Hero, then X-Men Pro. I lean towards the Pro on that game. But take that with a grain of salt, because there are a few games I like the Pro better (Transformers, Mustang, GoT).

1 WPT
2 xmen LE
3 Elvis

I would take the WPT anyday...great game !!!

Getaway is ColorDMD supported. Although for any DMD that isn't supported yet, you can just get the Sigma version. It's one color that you can change to what you want, and you can do hi-def, or dots, etc. Then if they support whatever game you buy the Sigma for, you can download the ROM and you're now upgraded to full color.

Out of that list I would go for X-men.

I've got an IM and an Avengers at my house. Both get played a lot. Next out my house played as much as those two would be my Met. Since it isn't on your list I vote for X-men since it's the one I desire the most next. I have a ST and if my wife would let me, I would trade it away for an X-men in a heart beat. Just can't get into it as much as others do.

I like X-men because it has some great flow but also has those stop and breath moments. I prefer the Pro though but would go for an LE at the right price. I just hate the LE Iceman ramp. It comes in handy during the game sometimes but it just doesn't please my eye.

I like WPT but it's a bit to stop and go for my liking. Some really cool rules though. HS2 is great as well but just not deep enough to keep me engaged for very long. Great for a larger collection though.

That new spidey will be cool next to the avengers an ironman.

You need Spidey in your life, Grinder!

You are a good player though and SM games are long. Your wife and kids would like it though.

I disabled the moving ramp on my game, it's in the settings and instantly solves the issue entirely.

Go LE on XMen for sure. Nightcrawler is cool. The spinner is awesome. The art package with the mirrored back glass (note I said backglass and not translight, XMen LE has a real mirrored backglass and not just the mirrored ink on a translight line the current stern LEs).

Also, go Wolverine version. You have a super hero collection. The wolverine LE is filled with the heros.

Suggestion: BoP

Let me explain... You like nice games, but you also like to mod & tinker around. There are repro parts readily available for BoP: playfield, ramps, plastics, backglass, cab decals, etc. You can take a beater and make it an essentially brand new game.

If you decide you dig the game, add BoP 2.0 with DMD and a brand new rule set.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing after GB.

Xmen LE or pro.

For the value I would go with the pro.
I had a magneto LE and sold it to buy an IMVE.
Glad I did. But Xmen is still good has a lot going on . Just not my type of game. The ball times were just way too long. I'm starting to feel the same about my ST pro.

But xmen LE is a good game I just feel like the moving ramp color changing G.I. and pop up nightcrawlers really aren't that great. The spinning magneto disk is cool but for the price difference I don't think it's worth it. And I think the wolverine art isn't as nice as the pro. But magneto version looks the best.

The pro has great art. You might be able to get a xmen pro for your Buck Hunter machine straight up. If you could get a deal like that it would be worth it.

HS2 is a great choice. Repro playfields are spendy but plastics and decals are available. Mods are few (mountain, donut heaven) but tasteful. Fun game.
