Anyone buy a NIB IM from SB or are thinking about it?

What is the cost taxes included delivered to home?
Free shaker motor negotiated?

Does the consumer have to update all software on their own?

i dont know what starburst has them on for but it would be at least 4995.00 plus both taxes plus delivery so my guess is 5600.00 and you have to update the software on your own

If you are serious about getting one, negotiate with Starburst. You can get an Ironman for $4195 USD + from multiple US vendors and then taxes at the border. That's about $4900 CDN. Several US vendors will sell at this price. If you are close to the border, it may be worth your while to drive across and get one. You can also see if Starburst will come close to matching it altho Ironman is selling quickly (10+ sold in Allentown just this weekend) so they may not have enough incentive to get your business. Worth a try tho.

Good luck

If you want a new pin, go for SM, if they still have one in stock. When I got mine from startburst, they still had a NIB SM. It's a much better game than Iron Man.

why spend that much when you get two or three  games for that price.

I used to think that way, too. But sometimes two or three games are not as good as one game. Why buy a Porsche? You can buy two or three Hyundais. The Porsche is a better experience, plain and simple.

There can be other factors as well. Maybe you have been collecting for 10 years and have decided you really want a Spiderman. You look at prices in the States for a HUO and realize for a couple hundred more you can have NIB. So I decide to buy a NIB Spiderman...opps let it slip.

My first NIB purchase and I will be selling about three games over the summer (after I have gotten them fixed and working -- nothing is getting sold from my current set up collection) to pay for it. Right decision? Depends on how you look at it. But I'm excited and cann't wait. Will I do it again? Not likely. I like buying HUO and saving the dollars. In the case of Spiderman, it's actually gone up in the last few months and the difference is minimal.

Wow! Welcome to the club! Spider-man is a fantastic game. I think it rivals MM+AFM in rules/gameplay (There are a lot of similarities). It's perfect setup next to my TZ, very complementary play styles.

Agree 100%. I had an AFM and it's gone. I think Spidy is much better. MM tough to say. MM has that castle which is so cool, but ME has one so I get to play it enough for my MM fix. Even though she has a Spidy, I want one. I like it that much. I've been playing Spidy it since it was new and decided I have to get one.

I watched as Sean O'Neill finish the Hero wizard mode on Spider-man last SB auction and draining his remaining balls, satisfied, after scoring a billion points.

Wow, someone needs to teach them what "In house" means. Doesn't mean the customer has to bring it to YOU, you repair it in the customers house...idiots.

If I was paying that kind of coin for a new pin, I'd be pissed if I had to load it up and take it to them in the first 90 days for repairs. You get your a** over here and fix it.

That kind of customer service alone, would have my money being spent elsewhere.
