With a MB, you can play it now and decide if you like it

With a NIB Stern, you almost have to pay up before you even see the game, let alone play it

But with any game at the NIB/MB price, you have to be into the theme, I like what Stern did with Tron, AC/DC and Xmen, but none of those themes gave me a buzz. But I will be interested to see if/when they make Star Trek
