Well I'm more than excited to see Iron Man re-ran. I always swore I'd never buy NIB unless for some crazy reason the re-ran Iron Man. Well here we are! I ordered within a couple hours of finding out about the re-run.
There are plenty of threads about the politics or investment side of this re-run (none of which I'm interested in). I'm more interested in what people want to see changed or not changed with the re-run. Stern hasn't released a picture of the machine yet, so we aren't even sure if the cabinet art and backglass have remained the same.
Here are the changes Stern says they're making:
1. LED lighting - I love it. That's a no brainer. I hope to see the 5 main arrow shots with RGB.
2. New backbox - I'm not a fan of it. The front of the backbox not being flush all the way around drives me nuts. I hate how the sides stick out further. It's Iron man though, I can live with it.
3. Angled DMD - Works for me. I never minded using a glare guard anyhow. I still have to use one anyways. I don't really care either way.
4. Decaled cabinet - I don't care either way. Higher resolution is always better in my book though.
5. One piece construction figures - I'm all for it as long as they as good or better than before. I just hope they don't look cheaply made...
A few things I'd like to see changed (one can be wishful):
1. Cliffy style metal ramp protectors - Those IM ramps can take a beating
2. Playfield slide supports - Seriously how much more can these cost??? This pro also cost about $150 more than ST pro and about $350 more than Met Pro. It would be nice to see these installed.
3. Mylar around the magnets - Either installed from the factory or included in the goodie bag, so one could choose to install them if they liked, would be really nice.
Other than those items, I don't really want to see anything else changed. The main thing I don't want to see changed is any of the cabinet or backglass art. I like the whole package the way it is. I just want to see a few tweaks.
What would you guys like to see changed or unchanged?
