Hey guys,

The buzz this year about a possible Iron Man pin from Stern has got my pondering taking the plunge and buying one brand new when it comes out.  I'm a HUGE Iron Man fan, got every issue from #1 (196 until now.  If the machine is halfway decent it'd be a buy for me based on theme alone.

With that said, I see Playdium store has Sterns like Batman for $5090.  Are there other vendors out there where you could get a better deal on a NIB Stern, or is that pretty much the going rate?  Just wondering if anyone had any ideas where a person could score one with a lower price.

Thanks!
  

There is Jack in the USA from the RPG group (he was the one that arranged the LOTR LE) he might be a bit cheaper but then you have to deal with taxes and maybe extra $$$ for shipping. With taxes in most NIB Stern are going to run $5600 or so Cdn.

If IM is any good i would consider it as well.

but i might wait a little, to make sure the software is 100% done.

You can haggle with Starburst, their prices aren't firm..

Yes, but as always with Starburst, good luck with that.

I wouldn't count on any deal from them.

I have a feeling that distributors will smell a success with the Iron Man franchise being red-hot. I doubt you will see a price drop from them like we saw with Wheel Of Fortune a while back, unless Stern REALLY screws it up.

I think when they need to move a title they will drop the price. So, if you want to wait and see on a title you have your eye on you might eventually get a better price if it isnt selling well as was the case with WoF.

On a floor model or trade in there may be more willingness from what I have heard from others, but nothing drastic usually.

Free shipping to Canada ???

I know that sears.ca doesn't carry the Sterns so I'm guessing the free shipping is lower 48 only

Depends the guys are RPG got a decent deal on BDK a few weeks back when Sears did a 15% off sale (with free delivery etc ...) and according to the author they were also qualifying for a Bling cash rebate (of something like 10%)  but I haven't heard if any of them got the Bling rebate.
