Quoted from MK6PIN:

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!!!

Quoted from MK6PIN:

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.....

Quoted from jawjaw:

Nobody is forcing you to buy an LE. Anyone with an LE preorder should be able to cancel. Call it bad standards, unethical, greed, deceptive, whatever. In the end, they are just selling pins to those that are buying. Honestly, who has legit canceled their LE order only because Stern made 100 more than what was first announced? All I hear is those not buying an LE getting upset and everyone with an LE preorder still excited waiting for their pin. I have no skin in the game. Stern could make 1000 more LE's for all I care. LE is a cash grab to begin with. Can you honestly say that the lower playfield and a few upgrades is worth $3000 over the pro?
