    Quoted from markmon:

    Makes me want to tell you guys to go to college to get better jobs or work more or something lol.

    Or maybe put six figures per year into early retirement/mortgage & just buy Avengers Pro?

    I seriously thought it was LE or nothing too but after being spoiled & fortunate enough to play (in great depth) every LE ever made by Stern I do question if those LE games are $6,000 or $7,000 of joy compared to a $2,800 RBION with complete code.

    But if money & space were no object I'd get LE's no doubt.

    Still tho, LE shouldnt exist.

    I think the reason people complain is because a game like TSPP would be $8k today when it was just $3800 a few years back.

    Which sucks

    But

    On a positive note look @ IM. It was a stripped down $3800 game. Today Avengers Pro looks comparable or maybe better depending on opinions & it's at a comparable price to what IM was NIB @ release. So it's all good, well not all good but it's not as bad as all releases being $8k

    Eventually folks may tire of the LE pricing & we may see more Pro's being sold than LE's/Premiums. Who knows what the future buyers are going to do?

    Quoted from swampfire:

    Not picking on you , but I still don't get why people say this. IM has 2 ramps, 3 spinners, 2 magnets, 1 kicker, motorized monger bash toy, 3 pops and a ton of stationary targets. Maybe the reason IM is such a great game is that they stopped there.

    No offense taken man

    IM is fun & appealing but to me it's just Avatar with a 2nd ramp. I think Avatar is fun too BTW.

    My comment wasn't to shit on IM. It was to compare a $4k Stern offering of then (IM) to now (AVG Pro) & compare the price/BOM. So for some buyers a NIB AVG Pro may be more desirable than a HUO IM. Maybe due to theme, gameplay, toys, price, depth or all the above. It's good we still have that choice was also my point. but... I am not defending the LE shenanigans though.

    So I don't know which side of the fence I'm really on then
