I have been thinking about buying a  new spiderman black(specail edition). Just wandering if many have tried playing 1 ? Also it is a lot of money, how do you think it will hold its value ? I know a lot of the new sterns seem to lose value pretty quick, but where this is suppose to be special edition will that make a difference ? I am buing for HUO so after a while if i get tired of playing it i dont want to loose a small fortune. Thanks for any of your thoughts on this.

Great game. Combine No Fear with Attack From Mars. Has the feel of AFM, but different. The shots remind me alot of NF. The game is super fast. I actually like the music now. Wasn't crazy about it at first.

Long term value is really hard to gauge. Like all new pins (same was true for Williams) they lose value immediately after opening the box. How much is hard to determine. Like you said, you will be buying a black and it has a shorter run so that should influence the value. To what extent, no one can be sure.

If you are worried about losing money, buying a new game is not the route to go. Buy a nice HUO game. Of course, that will take time and most likely a trip to the States so you have to add exchange rate, gas, and tax to the equation.

At the end of the day, pinballs depreciation alot less than other entertainment devices. If you buy a Spiderman Black for $5,100 today (taxes in), I imagine you could get $4,600 or so in a year's time. That's only $500 depreciation. Try doing that with an LCD, Plasma, etc.

You will get tired of any pins eventually.. some faster than others

i personally never played Spiderman yet but if it plays as much as AFM as people says, it might be a future pin for me.. i absolutely love my AFM

I really have to figure out how to do this.......

Spiderman as a game is a blast. When I first played it on route it was just OK and after 3 visits to the arcade I was warming to it. However, I decided to buy Shrek NIB instead while a friend bought a BSM. Long story short, the BSM ended up at my house 5 days later and I play it 10X more than the Shrek even tho I enjoy the Shrek but very different game play.

Spiderman is all about flow and speed and adrenaline rush. I personally love the chrome package but prefer the Red translite rather than the mirrored black backglass but that's just personal taste. As to $, once you open a NIB and aren't keeping it forever then you will lose $ whether limited edition or not I feel. If getting closer to breaking even is important, find a HUO altho most HUO Spiderman pins are red that owners are dumping or upgrading to Black.

Good luck with the purchase. I know the BSM won't be leaving my house.

Thats because you are a real collector... i'm just a player. There is much more than gameplay involved when you are collecting games i would assume ..

I will get tired, no doubt... this is my main point overall, i'm even tired of STTNG, sorry Duane, as much as i agree with you, i played it more than enough now, it is time to move on.

I didnt RTU yet... but i demolished my basement thou No pins for me for a good month or two still. They are all gone in storage until the basement is ready again...

Expert.. i'm far from that I play Rockband on HARD if that can be considered good, havent got much time to play that either between the basement and my son starting kindergarden yesterday !
