It looks much better than the original "The Pin" but note worthy that it is $500-$800 more as well.

What I am puzzled about is a pro GB MSRP is $5995USD for example and for argument sake this Spiderman "The Pin" has a rough MSRP of $3500 USD which is roughly $2500 USD less than a pro. It is shaped very similar to a pro cabinet wise and almost full sized backbox with a colour lcd. Downsides are mdf playfield and mdf cabinet and speaker in the front. It has needed licensing, programming, design, art (which does look pretty good) and probably has some slimmed down mechs ????

Maybe a refined "The Pin" with a ply cabinet and playfield, 2 x speakers in the backbox and a plate where the coin door is (so people wanting that classic look could add a coin door) and premium / le mechs and then you would nice machine with maybe some selling potential at say about $4k MSRP.

I bet the new pro (if they still do it) with a LCD will probably have a MSRP of $6250 - $6500.
