This type of move seems so short sighted to me. I'm not in the LE market but I thought the appeal and willingness to shell out that extra money is the rarity and uniqueness of the pin. If Stern is going to turn around and sell more its like they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. It's just damaging that market down the road.
When I posted this I thought Luci was an LE, now that I know its just a premium its totally fine, why not push them out if you have some parts left over.
Quoted from woody76:I have to agree with this, I would much rather see a Tron vault or dedicate resources towards new games and code updates.
Man I would love to know the inner workings at Stern. This looks like a revenue issue they need some quick cash to carry them to the next release. Yet rumors are revenue is way up. This is the kind of thing you see when companies are really tight for operational budget. Why are they doing this kind of thing and not what you are saying and focusing on improvements and making the next game great.
Quoted from RustyLizard:The only market will be damaged is the people who live in their own little bubble. I wish they would VE the good games every year. I want to play more pinball
LUCI was never a limited edition. A lot of people didn't buy it probably because their wives said no. Not all of us have the cash on hand when a game comes out but would love a chance to buy a new one later.
Honest question, was it just a rebranded premium? Does it have the number plate and all that like the LE?
Quoted from jgentry:Luci was not an LE or a limited run.
Maybe they have enough parts left over to make a small run. It makes a lot more sense to use them up and sell some games then to set on parts that you paid for and never get revenue from them. Everytime stern does anything people start screaming the sky is falling. They reupped the license so it only makes sense to capitalize on it as much as possible.
Luci is so put on pedestal I assumed it was a branded LE if it was just a Premium this is no big deal.
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:Based on all of the people that keep asking for a remake I think there would be plenty of demand for a TronVE, but there's no way to prove one way or the other without making it and seeing how many people order :/
They could open a pre-order list, actually there are a lot of ways they could gauge the demand, all they need to do is communicate.
Quoted from RobertWinter:Um, it's the same side art as the original. You didn't look at the photo just posted. You're thinking of the image posted in the topic below which is NOT what they released. (I did not post the incorrect image here so as not to confuse what the VE actually DOES look like)

I actually liked the fixed one they didn't end up going with. This one looks weird to me.
Quoted from cooked71:But the whole “disjointed hip-gate” started with the fake one.
Yeah the more I look at them they both look wrong, one is too low the other too high. I never noticed it till people pointed it out though.
