    I'm holding out for TRON VE. If it happens, great. If not, oh well, just wont own a Tron.

    I just refuse to pay more than NIB price of a machine that is used. There are a lot of LOTR, SM, (heck) even Batman Dark Knights but when the going rate is nearly $5K I'm not interested.

    For instance, I want a Batman Dark Knight. People are asking $5K plus for them. They weren't loved by the community and still really aren't but yet they are $5K plus machines. Yet, TFLE is worth $4.5K on a good day. I've just given up trying to figure out pinball pricing in the used market.

    As long as Stern stays away from LE's then I'm fine with it. Get's people into machines they've wanted and those that are collecting as investments usually are/should be buying LE's anyways. To me it's a win/win but what do I know. I bought AV Pro and TFLE and went with ST Pro over MET

    I can sum it up in one way.

    I know a lot more people that are happy about remakes and are planning on buying ___ if it gets done than I know people whom have decided (or are considering) not buying NIB anymore due to concerns of losses.

    I understand both sides of the coin. It was nice to buy a machine, play it for a year and basically break even. Down side is that trend kept creeping up and now it got to the point where it was pushing the average person out of the market.

    Quoted from ZenTron:

    For LOTR, Tron, SM and other games that offer an LE they will take a hit if Vault versions come out.
    My point is that there isnt a players and collectors market but rather one market.

    Not so sure. Only way I see Tron LE taking a hit is if they do a Tron Premium with the features of the LE. Doubt that would ever happen. Another run of Pro's would doubtfully make a difference.

    I could see LOTR and SM potentially taking a small hit as there isn't any game play differences but I still think SM Black would hold well. Just thinking of BIBLE and AC/DC Prem. No reason BIBLE should be worth $4K+ more as it;s the same game. But the different art and rarity drives the cost higher. I didn't really see Luci impacting BIBLE value much for instance.
