Well, some more used games just went down in value.

I would assume IM will be around $4999 shipped through distributors.

With a $5,495 MSRP that's what? $4,800 retail? Used IM's just got their price cut in half. I doubt they are worth much higher than $3K.

AWESOME!

And I'm still glad I have mine from the first run! I much prefer "roll your own" LED lighting to the built in stuff.

Now, let's see if all those people who talk about how Iron Man can sell another 1000 copies will actually make it happen. I hope it does!

Okay, I don't really care, but how do you get a price of less than $3k for a first run IM? Based on other pricing from used Metallicas just for instance, that would put it at about $4500, minimally, for a nice unmodded one.

Which really isn't far off where they were.

Which is why I think this is so interesting.

I can only imagine a few people's heads are exploding right now.

Yes, this is what was alluded to me about a week ago by a distributor...

But I got an X-Men instead, because I thought it was fiction.

I said they weren't worth too much more than $3K, saying they are probably worth that.

Routed IM for $5.5k are now a thing of the past.

Shipped NIB's will be ~$5k.

Stern Vault Editions. Anything could be remade... anytime.

Tron Premium... "Vault Edition". Screen shot this post, I want you to post the picture of it when it happens someday.

Among the improvements is all LED playfield lighting. Iron Man is manufactured with Stern’s updated modern metal and wood back box with red t-molding and with a decaled cabinet and speaker housing.

Well, I think the original backbox is way better, and prefer a screen printed cabinet to decals.

It's re-make city this year!

Oh yeah, and I have to say...

Lyman - can you please change the skill shot now? Here is what I would love...

If you don't touch the flippers, a no-hands skill shot into the right roll over is worth 3 times the regular skill shot.

If you hole the right flipper, you get the shot to come back to you. I would only open up a couple things for skill shot though - in particular, I'd love to have just the two ramps open for 2x skill shot.

With that change, Iron Man becomes my never-to-be-beaten favorite of all time.

I'm curious about these molded figures too. Nice to know there will be spares!

So, people are going to be paying $4K for a routed IM, with NIB going for about $4,800 and HUO somewhere in between. Good luck.

I believe that they won't rerun premium models for machines that they have previously said will only get one LE set and that's it.

ACDC Premium rerun? Sure.

TRON Premium isn't a rerun, it's a completely new game. I don't see that.

I wouldn't be surprised to see more Trons at some point again. I also wouldn't be overly surprised to see more Spider-Mans.

Heh, that sounds funny.

Okay, seriously, I don't exactly know why, but this announcement has made me super happy! I know where my mind will be the rest of the day (and that's okay!)

Funny, when any other game is routed and sold, that is about the discount they seem to have been getting lately. I was just commenting on a Mustang Pro thread where they sold it for $3750 and everyone was commenting on how great that was. If we assume a price of $4500, that is still a $750 discount.

Why do you think Iron Man deserves a $1500+ discount for being routed? I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that.

Regardless, I am sure you have been doing this way longer than me and have more experience, so I'm probably wrong.

But this new version already has the LEDs in it.

It is now pretty clear why certain Stern distributors were recently dumping their routed IMs for high prices.

Come on guys. This is a re-fake. The 1st runs had the better cab design with screened decals, the better head design, and gold t-molding.
