The Avengers (LE)
Stern, 2012
The Avengers (Premium)
Stern, 2012Does it seem like a disproportionate number of hulk LEs are for sale? With all of the love for hulk, I guess I did not expect this many for sale this soon. Where are the blue LEs for sale? I am in the minority, like the blue much better.
Not enuff Blue LE's were sold to warrant re-sales in any significant quantity yet.Give it time .It will happen.....
I was just thinking the same thing.............Oddly enough, I want a Blue and not a hulk, but no one is selling.
Quoted from Ozzie:Does it seem like a disproportionate number of hulk LEs are for sale? With all of the love for hulk, I guess I did not expect this many for sale this soon. Where are the blue LEs for sale? I am in the minority, like the blue much better.
What love? There are like...3 or 4 guys here that LOOOOVE it
I love the game! I just don't love it for >$6000. That's not saying too much, though. I don't like any game at that price. If/when it goes down to XMEN/TFLE prices, I'll seriously consider. Quite a wide range on here. There's a NIB for $6250, an HUO for $6200 and then a couple of HUO's, one at $6800 and one for $7000. I don't know how those guys can expect to get anything close to that when they're being undersold by $600-$800 elsewhere.
Again, I ask-- At this rate, won't the premium have to be priced as a pro to have any chance of selling?
Quoted from PW79:With ACDC, Metallica & Star Trek this year who the *F* would buy a premium Avengers when Hulks are for sale in the low $6's & the blue's are just sitting?
I'd buy one for 5k 
...an LE, not a Premium lol
Personally I really liked the blue LE model that Macro had at the Michigan Pinball Expo. The game seems like it packs a lot of features and has some great shots. I really enjoyed playing it!

I bet Pro Metallica's (used) can be had for $3750 @ the end of this year.
Me personally I'd prefer to own Avengers Pro & Metallica Pro vs one HulkLE

I was almost a little surprised that Stern actually followed through with the premium. I don't really put much stock in LE sales since I believe they just sell out to distributors. Then it's up to them to unload them. But considering some distributors still have Blues in box...
Quoted from tbanthony:Same here.
Here too. Love my Avengers Blue.

Have they actually built any yet? ...or sold any?
Quoted from Rarehero:Have they actually built any yet? ...or sold any?
I only know that they announced it. So I would find it odd if they didn't think they could actually sell them. But we will see how it pans out.
I *really* love my Hulk. Great shots and fun call outs. But I'm constantly wanting more pins every day. It never seems to stop either. Yes, I could sell all the stuff in the garage that I said I would do for Tron, but then I said it again for Hulk. Now I'm thinking the same thing for Metallica. The stuff in the garage still sits.
Quoted from thedarkknight77:I was just thinking the same thing.............Oddly enough, I want a Blue and not a hulk, but no one is selling.
The blue was way better in my view. The Avengers are about . . . well, the Avengers . . . not just one member of the team. XMen Wolv LE's still had all members of the team on the cabinet art. The Blue Avengers was cooler in my view.
I cannot stop playing my Hulk and I was one of the earliest on pinside to receive the game. I never enjoyed my SM as much as Avengers LE. Everything from the lighting, speed, randomness, callouts, and the variety of shots makes it an enjoyable playing experience. Also, playing Avengers makes you a better player because of the tight shots, randomness, and fast returns to the flippers. It is a good mix of modern pinball and EM style pinball IMO.
Why would older games hitting the market seem odd when the newest one is released? Seems natural to me, regardless of opinion of gameplay or whatnot. Everyone wants the newest, latest/greatest machine, and some of us don't have unlimited money or space so something has to give (other game(s) and other stuff).
Quoted from pinmanguy:Avengers is crap game play wise no surprise the Hulks get sold to recoup money for something new
Whatever you say Space Jam. 
Quoted from frolic:I would agree Avengers makes you a better player.
Yup. It's is true.

The fact that older games hitting the market logically follows any new release. Very few people have unlimited funds for $4,000+ each hobbies/ toys/etc. My point is that you see an unusual number of Hulks vs. other recent machines (except XM LE which also seems to have a significant number trying to sell at the moment). Where are the Av Blues? The lowest I ever saw a NIB Blue is $6,400. I can't think of a HUO Blue that has come up for sale recetnly. As said, there is a NIB Hulk for $5,999 - wondering if this will hit XM levels of $5,000, with WOZ, Star Trek, 3rd Stern pin etc coming out in the next few months.
can't imagine avengers hitting xmen levels.... xmen are more plentiful, and it was a broken game for so long.
Quoted from spidey:I'm keeping my blue. Fantastic game and lovin' Zdor's cube. I prefer the artwork with the whole Avengers team, plus it's a really nice color. Next up: Star Trek LE
+1
Fire sale on these lately, seems like maybe the initial wow is wearing off and maybe people want to keep as much of their value as they can. They are dropping in price for sure and with Metallica, woz, and star trek coming I can see more hitting the market. I like the game but I can see how owners might be getting frustrated with some of the issues it currently has. Plus a premium is coming soon too on avengers.
Quoted from gambit3113:The blues are still in their boxes at the distro.
All except mine I guess.

Yup. People either get it or they don't. I don't get the people who don't get it, but then again, I got it, and they don't.
Get me?
Quoted from Nevus:I said it before. Why in the name of all that is holy is there not a Black Widow Premium?
Because Scarlett Johannson doesn't give her likeness away cheap like a drawing of the Hulk.
Quoted from stretch2:Not enuff Blue LE's were sold to warrant re-sales in any significant quantity yet.Give it time .It will happen.....
What if the blue buyers actually bought for good reasons? Like they knew it could be around awhile, and they wanted to look at blue instead of green? Or that they planned to keep it if they liked the game, because that's what they like to do?
Ill bet far less blue buyers bought to flip, or thinking it would be "collectible" or that it was "cooler" or more trendy and therefore would skyrocket in value. Hulks ARE cool, but that doesn't mean anything in a fickle hobby where things change from black to white in an instant (next game comes out) or after years (people realize a game is much cooler than they realized).
I think the blues look great! that said, the hulks look more comic'ish and not so movie'esk. All preference really.
No plans for my hulk to leave anytime soon. Great game.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Yup. People either get it or they don't. I don't get the people who don't get it, but then again, I got it, and they don't.
Get me?
I get you.
Quoted from Rarehero:I'd buy one for 5k ...an LE, not a Premium lol
im on the 5k list as well
I also received very negative flack when i offered 6300 for a Hulk 4 weeks ago and was ripped as a low baller. Phew that was put not a call. Glad it did not work out. The hulk toy itself blows and the ball gets trapped all the time after playing it a bit. Time for gomez to hang it up i think, two real hits in a row TFLE and AVLE.

Gomez has seen better days. Ritchie and Borg are kings.

I think the toy is great. The ball gets stuck less often now with the new code.
I wish in Hulk mode the drop down targets would stay down to make use of that magnet. It seems like the magnet throws the ball into the back of the drop targets 99% of the time.
