Tron Spiderman TSPP LOTR and Batman have all been re done if people want them why not do them!!
Point taken.. and it has merit. but, I am of the belief that if production has ceased then it should remain so. Its a Stern thing and like many Stern things, I don't much like it and that is mainly because pinball is now a collector based market and like any collector based market, people are prepared to pay for what they want. its what makes the exchange of one title more expensive than another.. numbers and desirability. Same with records except with records a re release is always that and the original retains its value. There aren't many records that will fetch $5K.. there are plenty of pinball machines that will though and a re release will by and large drop the originals value and collectability. I am trying hard to NOT be a Stern basher when I post but we are like chalk and cheese and I personally view this as a slap in the face to those who hunted hard and found themselves an IM.. which is a great playing game ( yes ive played it and it whipped me). I like IM... not cluttered, good flow etc. would I own one?..No... would I rather see Stern come up with a new title??..yes
If they were re releasing LE's then I'd agree as there a limited edition but there doing the pro version, look at Tron that's been done 3 times and the first runs are still worth good money they've hardly dropped in price and any great title will most likely do the same and the same can be said for TSPP and LOTR. Now your not doing a good job of not being a stern basher your up there with the best :-)
