Who's with me? Bring SM out of the vault next after IM. The squeaky wheel got the IM release, let's put SM at the top of their go to list!

LOTR might be tough to get licence for again with TH coming out. Maybe down the line..

Exactly, SM sells used, reasonably quickly at 5G +/- beat up ones at 4G. Right where Stern seems to want to be..It even sounds like it did well on route...

Now we just need Gary to say they won't ever be making them again for the lock...

The only remake need Stern seems to want to have is can they make a lot of money off of it. Used ones sell fairly regularly @ 5 grand. I'm sure you paid more than that for that nice looking one. That just means that stern has a market. It seems they went out of their way to not just remake Iron Man but they are making a production of "Vault edition" and saying that they will go back in and make more of all the games that they think that they can make money off of. Spiderman seems to fit that bill. With its price point and general demand. They don't care if they crash the used market. They're in the new market.

Now over 100 people voted that they want, or could be persuaded to buy a NIB SM. That's just a very small slice of the pinball market I would think (people on the site who read this thread & voted). After Stern finishes counting their IM money & starts to look at what else can they do to follow up, I can't see how SM isn't on the short list

I don't believe the licence is going to be that big of a deal. Look at how many times that excuse was used for Iron Man & they still remade it. I played one over the weekend & it wouldn't be that hard to edit out the actors if they really wanted to. Besides, if someone wants to throw money at you for what is essentially a movie that is behind you & not making you anything, why wouldn't you grab it? What does Sony care about who is on a pinball machine? They do care about $$$ I would think...

That's the problem in general when you make pins based on movies.
It seems like they are intent on going back & making other titles on games they can make a profit on. Once they see how many IMVE they sell, greed naturally says what can we do next? This poll alone says over 100 potential customers. I wonder how many are needed to make running a pin worthwhile?

Exactly! People want plug and play. Maybe I can buy a used Spiderman for 5G but there is no guarantee that it will be working when I get it home. NIB gives people the illusionthat there will be no problems for a long time. (Avengers anyone?)
I also can't help but notice with all of the people saying how readily available they are, not one person has posted why buy a new one when you can have mine for X amount of dollars?

I broke down and bought one. That should be a lock that it gets remade now..

Glad I did. Would have waited all that time to find out that I don't like the Ultimate Spider-Man
