You'll be fine. Support is good. If you can't figure something out yourself, or with pinsider help you just open a ticket with AP and the tech will help you out. I have had no troubles with my Houdini. Excellent game.

I would not overlook Hot Wheels either - it's priced right and a NIB is readily available.

7 hours one way is quite the drive. You could wait on finding a Houdini closer to you - in the meantime you could get a brand new Hot Wheels shipped to your door.... AP does a great job boxing their games. Probably the sturdiest shipping and packing for a NIB game. Probably the easiest no fuss, no muss way to add an AP game to your collection. Good luck in your pursuit of a Houdini.. Just mentioning Hot Wheels as I think it's a very good value and you should have no problem getting one fairly quickly if you want an option.
