    Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

    none nib. why spend 6k on something that might fall apart? wait a year and buy used, save $600-800 with all the bugs worked out and hopefully a few code updates and have the piece of mind that the playfield won't chip after 100 games.

    Quoted from Eskaybee:

    You’ll be fine, just buy from a reputable distributor. Don’t let the drama of some steer you away. NIB is an awesome experience.

    I just BOUGHT a NIB DP Pro, it's a great companion game with my IMDN LE. It's pure pinball fun/bliss. But really, I doubt you could go too wrong with any of the games on your list, except maybe Stranger Things.

    As for NIB quality, my DP pro developed a clear coat chip in the shooter lane in the first 45 games. This was AFTER I put mylar down and lowered the trough eject power to the lowest setting. ...and then little deadpool's head fell off 20 games later.

    Stern will send you a clear coat repair kit with sandpaper and a little bottle of fingernail polish or something that you can use to try to repair the chip. And my dealer is working on getting me a new little DP.

    The advice above is sound, if something like this would ruin your enjoyment of the game, try to find a nice lightly used one that you can see doesn't have these faults before buying.

    DP is great fun though. Pretty in your face with the sound and and such so maybe not for everyone, but I like it. And NIB pins do smell great...

    Check out the Deadpool owners thread. Make sure you protect your Katana ramp entrance.

    Yeah I saw that and did so prior to playing ball 1. Thx!
