It depends on several factors. I like my early run game and it has several awesome mods. I wouldn't sell it for the current NIB price. If they are in similar shape buy the one that is priced better.

I just went through looking around for one and it seems any used ones are modded out and actually more money than a NIB. Needless to say I went NIB

There are other corrections such as the magnet board and step up board that was used for Sparky.
There are also still 2014 games running around that had bad playfields and decal issues.
You want the new production games.

Has the decal peeling issue been resolved on the new production games?

Yea, this I find off putting as well to buying the older ones. Just does not make any sense to spend more on a used one customized to the owner when new is cheaper.

So what are the fixes between the older model and 2016?
