Stern, 2011Avatar LE just sold on pinside for $5100. Pynball has a combo TF LE for $5700. Trent at tilt had a SM for $6k, might still be one out there but he is out. Tron LE is out of the price range. Maybe AC/DC premium, but I don't want to feel like I am missing something. What would you get? has to be NIB and available somewhere.
Personally, I'd add $500 and order a standard WOZ. There will be a bit of a wait, though.
It's a Shame I didn't buy this 07 SM for $ 2250.00

Stings, doesn't it? 
Quoted from HighProtein:6K for NIB SM to me feels high.
6K for TFLE is an alright price.
That is one of the worst calls I have seen in a very long time on these boards.
You mean "you" have one for sale? sorry to be dense.
Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:It's a Shame I didn't buy this 07 SM for $ 2250.00
This stings me...
Quoted from Gexchange:TFLE is doable Delivered
Was hoping you would chime in 
.
To me also, but I can't seem to find any tonight even for that price...Great American implies they do with the Blue Spiderman thing. But that's $7500.
Can't find that or The Sopranos still NIB anywhere.
Quoted from txstargazer3:Personally, I'd add $500 and order a standard WOZ
I ordered the ECLE. But I want a recent pin from when I finally got into the hobby NIB for this thread. So basically Stern is all there is.
There are plenty of HUO Sterns out there that are literally better than NIB. For example, I just committed to buying a SM for $4800 that has a pant load of mods and 200 plays. The only difference between NIB and that is I don't have to wait a week for the mods to arrive and install myself, and I don't have trash to take to the curb. Think about it.

And you don't have to troubleshoot what the factory missed on final inspection either!
Going from your list NIB SM for 6K without a doubt.
I don't think many are out there right now. 6K seemed like a pretty fair price to me.

I can't believe you passed that one up B_R!

Spiderman, 2007 Stern: 5100
Selling my HUO very low play stern spiderman. The machine is flawless and still has the goodie bag attached. Mods include shaker motor, back alley creations complete building set, matt mckee sm topper, pinbits protectors, pinbits sling webbing, full led's with pbl no ghost in the inserts.
Makes me think...
Quoted from smassa:Just curious why does it "have to be NIB"?
Never had one except for BBB. I just want one NIB Stern from this time. So I can say I have one if nothing else. I don't want to look back on 2012 and smack myself for not getting at least one Stern. I mean really why not? ok ok, see above SM lol.
Quoted from TheStranger:Seriously. Get TZ and be done with it.
I love TZ to play, but cannot stand the sound the clock makes. It is like fingernails on chalk board to me. Same with Dr Who , I like it but the daleks kill it for me. Or I would have both eventually.
This isn't a put down to anyone at all but TF:LE (any of them) doesn't seem to be selling as well as some of the other LE's. Tron LE and AC/DC LE's were sold out from SUPPLIERS (not just Stern) before they were even released. Not as much interest in TF:LE it seems.. hopefully the next software release changes things -- as it stands, I'm not a huge fan of the game.. and I *LOVE* Transformers (not so much Bayformers, mind you)
Please, can we stop singing the "Stern wait for the software song"!!?!!?This has been sung about every game they make for about 6 years now.Software is not going to save TF.It is what it is.The only game that became a legit A title after software updates is SM.Hope you find a NIB one for your collection.Scott

That's a good deal considering the mods you get.. I'd say go for that. Probably still has that NIB smell, which is all you need really.

Cheap.
That one on Mr. Pinball this morning is the one I am buying. Just transferred the $$$. He had already listed it to start running today.
Quoted from MikeS:I love TZ to play, but cannot stand the sound the clock makes ...
I have read that you can lubricate the gears and make it way quieter. Not sure what kind of lubricant you should use, though.
Quoted from ninjabones:Since I am the one that bought the NIB SM from Trent two weeks ago, I'd like to know what your are implying.
Then he got one in because when I called looking for one the one he had was HUO with low play and not NIB or I would have bought it myself! But I'm happy with the one I ended up with
Congrats, a great game...

Great game Gambit! Is that the one a guy on here was selling last week for $4800? Just curious because the description and mods sound the same....

Just trying to clarify... as it would have been the dupe of the century if my SM was not a true NIB machine. The game is awesome. Very happy with the purchase. With the shaker and external sub, the thing just rocks. Great flow, nice depth... I just totally suck at it still (only been about a week in my house). Best score so far is only 132M.
Quoted from iceman44:Great game Gambit! Is that the one a guy on here was selling last week for $4800? Just curious because the description and mods sound the same....
That is the same one. But I just hit a snag. Michelle quoted me nearly $500 to ship due to high gas prices, so I got a quote from Pilot Air on a hub-to-hub transfer with insurance. Great deal, and seller would deliver to the Pilot Air hub a few miles from him. I go put in the wire transfer this morning, and get back to the office and call up Pilot Air to confirm the quote I got yesterday. Gave them the reference number and said I wanted to book it. That's when he tells me that I shouldn't have been quoted additional insurance yesterday, and that they wouldn't stand by the quote. They will only offer me the standard freight insurance of cents on the pound.
I am super pissed at Pilot Air. Tried to rattle the cage at corporate, and they could not care less. I am not going to pay $500 shipping. Grrrr......
Quoted from NimblePin:"Sooooo ninja,
You gonna keep 'dem pins in the sunlight???"
Good question... Blinds are being installed this week. I've been throwing blankets over both pins during the daylight ours.
Quoted from pinball_customs:Good call, reds fade quick
Indeed it does, cover those bad boys up from head to toe keep them looking great!!
Quoted from gambit3113:I am not going to pay $500 shipping. Grrrr......
I will. Really seems to be the norm so far on 5 pins with the exception of the two that came from same source so got a deal. Totally sucks to have to add 10% to the cost of that pin with ZERO benefit, truly toilet money. But your Pilot air situation is a total hoser, they should stand by their quote.
Quoted from ctozzi:the little girl mod on the Spidey
Great mod! The smiley for spidey.
http://familygsale.com/page15.php To protect your machine(s) from sunlight. I like Spiderman it's a fun good flowing game!

Well, I finally got at least an apology, but the issue is that their insurance comes from a 3rd party company. So it isn't Pilot Air's call. They tried to talk me into just having it wrapped up good and sent on, but eff that noise. Not gambling on an 1800 mile trek. Just sucked it up and called Michelle to schedule delivery. SM is still coming.
Good decision, Gambit. Sometimes you just have to take the pain to avoid hurting yourself even more in the long run. Well played.
