that is a really sweet looking pinball for sure. it looks bloody amazing. nice games room too !

i think every collector should buy a brand new pin sooner or later.
With the USA dollars being good at the moment, why not. Good on ya Gav. Lucky bugger !

Great looking machine..  I can see why Spidey is so popular.  If I was to ever get a NIB it would be a Spidey, TSPP or FG...

Problem is - NIB I'd have nothing to fix or clean!

Awesome looking lineup you have there too!.....

At the moment it gets the most love as you would expect being new. I think it will stand up well in the test of time. Definately my fastest playing pin with a totally different feel to a TZ or IJ. I am impressed/suprised with some of the refinements Stern have made, ie the rounded switches, user friendly globe holders, lights on the fuses etc. Yep this may not be my last ever Stern.

Nice and bright - looks like you need shades to play it!  ^^^

Shame you cut the box - looks like your daughter(?) was lining it up as a cubby...  :lol

And you don't have to clean/fix anything! S**t-hot!

Congrats Gav .

Did you put/has it got led's in it ?  Looks nice and bright lighting-wise .

Love the look of the spider web shaped flipper button guards - never noticed them on a SM before .

I like the mod's you have done too!(stand up targets?)

Congrat's and enjoy that new pin smell  :lol

I added the LEDs, the webbed rails came out on the LE release and on this run, it was a bonus to have them as I thought they would be the standard ones.

The target decals are a great mod from http://www.pinballdecals.com/  not cheap but really change the look of a pin and they are quite well made, they have heaps of great mods.
