The LE is great marketing for Stern. They create an imaginary demand for some people that think numbers are important in pinball. Which creates compulsive buying, before they even know if a game is shitty or not. Game doesn't even have to be good and they sell out. So that 20% of good games Stern shells out, looks more like 100% because LE's usually always sell out.

If your buying a game to actually play. Nothing wrong with buying a premium (except the $2000 extra cost for $200 (if that) worth of extra playfield crap). In the grand scheme of things, does anyone really give a shit about the armor and cabinet art/Translite? Doesn't matter really. And if a game is good, nobody is really going to care. If every game has an LE. LE kinda loses it's effect. This premium and pro, is just a way for Stern to justify a 2k markup, and making you think your getting something special. In actuality, your getting the "full" version of the game, which you should be getting for $4300ish.

No truer logic has ever been said.

As for LE's. I don't care if my TF is an LE or not. Don't care if AC/DC is premium or not. Plays the same regardless. That's all I care about. I do like having my TF all one color tho. Would I pay extra for it. No. Unless you only own one game, and it's the showcase of your living room. who really sees the cabinet anyway?
