Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Whether anyone agrees or disagrees with this is irrelevant.
The simple fact is that this works for Stern.
Instead of selling 500 LE, they now sell 600.
Instead of 30 BM66SLE, they sell 80.
People say 'that's it, I am done with Stern'.
Until James Bond LE is shown and it's 'take my money now'

Exactly. When Stern sees people flipping LE's for $1000 or $2000 more or LE's selling out in minutes, that tells them they are leaving money on the table. Everyone can cancel their LE orders or decide not to buy whatever pin Stern is selling. People gladly giving money to Stern and then calling Stern 'greedy' for that is ridiculous. Nobody needs a pin. You approve of Stern's business decisions with your money.

Quoted from iceman44:

Sorry but that’s not how I look at it
You won’t sell ANY allotment if they keep jacking up the prices and the numbers.
Yeah yeah, I know, same old story every time, “take my money”
Well it’s that way until it’s not
You shouldn’t F with the LE model over one title, or from title to title.
Just like in card collecting, art or anything else, “limited” begins to mean NOTHING over time in many cases mainly because of greed
It’s coming, just a matter of time

Yeah but it's far from over. What was that thread - Stern's darkest night? How hilarious was that? You heard him. People are banging down the door for the LE no matter if it's limited to 500 or 600. It means nothing. You might have 20 LE buyers get upset and back out but there is 200 more waiting in line. Prices have shot up but that has not slowed anything down. I have not been in the hobby that long but I still remember plenty of occasions pinside was all up in arms over something Stern did. From all that I can tell and hear, their business is better than ever. Someone said Munsters preorder response was the best in history. I don't doubt it. How are they "greedy" if there is a line of people wanting to give them money?

Quoted from rvdv:

It matters if you announce 500 LE’s and put that in writing and put it on the LE machine game plack And show it to the public.
Then see you were an idiot and make 100 more for the cash grab
Bad standards !!!

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?

Quoted from rvdv:

You missing the point I think
It just makes a company non believable
It’s not about the amount of money between models, I ordered LE cause i have a healthy budget to spend on pins
I do not agree with their business methods
And deceiving the people with a official announcement and then change it
Just wrong in my opinion
Coming from a business man

Are you cancelling your LE order then? I assume no by your language so in the end you support Stern's decision. That's my point. Any arguments against Stern making more LE's are moot when all LE's sell out now and in the future. I don't get why people take it so personally and wish bad things on Stern. People preorder LE's even before they are announced. Pretty sure retailers are begging for more LE's so they can make more money. Retailers must be "greedy", too.
