Quoted from Luckydogg420:

For Stern LE just means more expensive.
For most titles, my distributor told me that usually there are less premium made then limited editions. So what makes an LE limited?
I can make any product and say it’s a LIMITED EDITION, but if I make as many as the market can sell, then is it really limited?
For some titles the difference between premium and LE is minimal. Just graphicsis some cases.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

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".... )
