Quoted from Ccondo:

I have searched for used machines locally. Only one that had potential was Iron Man for nearly $4,000. I take comfort in getting a game that has a warranty so I focused on new...
Is the feeling that the Star Wars Pro is good/adequate and the Premium not worth another $2,000? I was convinced from what I read that the hyper loop was an important feature. My kids are 10, 8 and 5 and very much interested in playing. Their grandfather has a Pirates of the Caribbean pinball (the older one from 10 years ago or so) and they love it. They've caught me looking at youtube videos of pinball machines and they all want the Star Wars based on mostly the fact that it is Star Wars.
We entertain a lot, I really want a game that people will want to play.

SW can be a really hard and confusing game for newer players. I like it a lot because it's hard and has a lot of code to figure out. If you are dead set on a NIB I'd recommend SMVE unless you just hate the them. It does not have an LCD but is a very approachable game for newer players and still offers a lot for more advanced players. A beginner on SW may never start a multiball. Gotg is to new so I'd wait at least 6-12 months on it so the code gets further along and any issues get fixed.

If you don't own a game yet and don't have access to play much then you will enjoy anything you pick. I still think SM is a great option but you can make any game easier and any stern pro will give you good value. Pick a theme you like and go for it. Shop around on price as you should not have to pay $5700 for any stern pro. I recommend Larry at flipnoutpinball but there are a lot of other good sellers around.

Quoted from Ccondo:

Maybe I should also reconsider IronMan used too. I got the impression that it wasn’t well thought of. It still costs nearly $4k and the Iron Monger doesn’t slide down flat so I’ll need to fix that.

Iron Man is a great game. For your first pin try to find something in 100% working condition though. You will have to learn some fixes as you go but being able to bring the first game home and start playing immediately is important.
