No, not with 500+ units. Some occasionally sell at a premium early on, but overall they all seem to settle in at a 5-10% discount within 6-12 months. I can't recall any holding a premium price since ACDC. I've been able to pick-up HUO IMDN, SW, DI, TWD, Metallica and other LE's within 6-12 months of launch for a good discount. I'm tempted sometimes to buy NIB but then come to my senses and wait to play the game and let them work out any issues.

I agree that filler modes typically add little to the game, especially on machines like DI, but Elwin/Sexton did a great job implementing the power features on IMDN. I wouldn't call them filler modes. Power jackpots and especially Cyborg multi-ball really add scoring strategy and fun to the game. Hopefully they won't just cut-and-paste onto BK3, but do a similarly good job of implementing them into the theme and rules.

Didn't notice your avatar - wasn't purposely taking a jab at DI. I owned and enjoyed it for a couple years and am not trying to compare the overall games - haven't even seen BK3 yet - but even with the latest rule changes didn't feel that the Bob, Drone, etc features were an integral part of the game/theme. My guess is that Sexton will hit a home run on BK3 rules given his passion and playing skills. He must have really impressed Gomez, Richie and others on IMDN to get the lead at such a young age.
