Its like buying the first model/release of a new car,you always wait for the 2nd generation with all the bugs fixed and updated bits n pieces added on.

BUT, if you could buy a 2006 model Simpsons that was mint condition for say $4500, or a brand new one for $7 grand, and u were going to keep it, take the earlier model and save some bucks for the NEXT pinball.theres always room for one more !
