Quoted from pinmister:

What matters is how it is perceived as duping the general public. Why announce a set number of "limited' units to pre-sale to the public(hype) and then change the amount a week later-because you can? I think Stern should consider changing their business model with LE machines. What if they followed suit with other manufacturers and had an unlimited amount of LE's available. They could simply state LE's are 'TBD' in terms of production run numbers. Let as many people who want an LE buy one during the years the license is valid or how ever long they decide to keep in game line-ups. What would be great about this is Stern would probably sell more units in the long term, it would allow people to actually wait to play the game before getting caught up in the hype and jumping on the hype train, and it would eliminate artificial inflated pricing on the LE titles.
The whole LE hype is getting old fast-time to change things up Stern. No more limited numbers on LE machines-and the hype train will come to a screeching halt.

Stern has done that in the past. Transformer le numbers were increased just like batman 66 sle and le after being announced.

Also think Stern is choosing premium versions that would outsell the le version. I think the premium versions of munsters and iron maiden are good examples of that.

Wouldnt be surprised if Stern comes out with another premium version of Munsters if the BW version doesn't sell as many as they hope.
