no worries....just saw it myself tonight...drained the hype thread and another one, thinking the "1313 mockingbird lane" club thread would stick....

in for an LE..just means 100 more can get one, they'll still sell out and be tough to get down the road, I suspect....doesn't affect me either way as one is coming my way....beautiful machine!!!

The day they cross the line and make Vault's from LE's is when the LE becomes virtually worthless. Maybe it's crossed someday, maybe not.

Whatever....I bought MunstersLE as it was the most appealing to me, and had all the features I wanted (side armor/ pinblades/ shaker/ real translite/ anti glare glass/ COLOR). This LE has alot of adds over the premium, IMHO.

They're still only making 600 of them...better than the LE's "x" of 1000, I suppose.....the extra 100 will sell (probably quick), and we can move on, enjoying the game.

Would be considerate of the company to let the distro's in the loop before the podcasters, however, IMHO...they are the ones trying to make a living off selling these games. Hype is one thing, but this is common business courtesy....oh well...it's pinball

(kind of crazy they only made 240 BM66LE's, w half going overseas, as a side note)....

sort of sums it up.....

Very nice to see Stern push the LE envelope a bit by adding a lot of extras to this model, beyond basic art change. There is real $$$ in the adds.

I'll bet a lot of discussion went into the b&w vs. color ( premium and le)....Think it contributes significantly to differentiate, as well as allow choice for the buyer.... Can't wait for my LE!!!

Also pretty straight ahead powdered lollipop rails, unless I'm missing something....nothing really special about that.

badass side armor, IMHO, that fits the game very well....plus color PF only on the LE, with B&W only on Premium. They offered more separation was my only point.....

To replicate this LE would cost $$$ from a pro or premium standpoint. And I don't believe the side LE armor is being sold separately (yet)

you win......

I'm in!!!

BM66LE is a major exception....240LE's (I think) with half going abroad......Looked around my room tonight...KISSLE-600, STLE- 799, TRONLE- exception (when the game itself had an extra mode and no premiums...pin community absolutely condemns any LE that would actually have gameplay features for some reason, regardless of price).

Believe BIBLE only had 200, but can't really speak to that one, as I never pursued one (and think there were other versions, as well)...

Bottom line (imho) - If they would have announced 600 from the start, they would have sold out equally fast, and no harm, no foul. They announced 500, then switched to 600, but still guessing that is all they will make of that model, and that supply has been spoken for. Financial move on there part (at least they didn't say 1000) so they still are "limited", and hasn't changed my excitement to own one of them.

Maybe not the best move from a reputation standpoint, however, they are at least offering lower-priced alts, which is more than can be said for other high priced pins.

Just looking forward to playing mine within a month....kind of all that matters to me.....resale? these damn things are getting pricey, so I doubt buying one for that purpose would be risky (although BM66LE certainly would fall into that category, if you had a "spare".... )

Apologies....a bourbon pinball night...focusing on getting new initials up.....(ironically, I'm having it out on an LE "139 of 500" where less than 100 of these were ever made....really pisses me that more of these couldn't get out)

Nice review, as I respect your input (fellow BM66 pinhead)...I sadly drained that thread, as it was just too cluttered, too early....hoping the "1313 Mockingbird" Club thread gets some traction once games start to drop.

I'm in (and paid in full) on LE, actually, love Stewie's mini PF on FGY, so hoping this combo works for me, I don't mind the stop and go, and just hoping for a fun pin....thanks again....mark

Nice........I (and many others that buy LE's on occasion) fall into none of those categories.....

That " hypothetical", if intentional, is fraud. Do you really think Stern needs the extra $$$ of LE over Pro to go down that road?

No caveat to blanket, unkind, false statements like that. Sick of this crap...If you want the " jury to be out" on the game itself, so be it.

But to once again ( not you directly, but in every thread that turns this way) start quantifying the people that decide to buy or not is horseshit.

Personal opinions are welcomed and will always differ, but to provide "wisdom/insight" directed at a global audience? Insulting to the people that buy and don't buy these games .

Give your opinion on whether you would buy/ like a game or not, but don't speak for anyone else...No one has any idea or metric

My absolute least favorite part of Pinside, yet it thrives ( sadly)
