I'm thinking of getting this for myself for xmas this year

Yeah, I've really wanted one for over a year but my wife seems to think it's not a great idea for some reason

Looks like they went up in price a bit since the last time I looked. Still not a bad deal though. Would definitely have to spring for the powdercoating too.

My current biggest selling point to the wife is that we should get one before they're illegal everywhere. Unfortunately she has said if i get a flamethrower, she gets a dog, so I'm kinda on the fence.

Depends on what price you got in on and how much you care about the (ever-diminishing) LE add-ons. If you didn't lock in a lower price, then you might as well if you're worried. Since you're dealing with CT, you shouldn't have an issue actually getting your refund and i doubt there will be any shortage of either model anytime soon if you want to reorder.

I've strongly considered canceling myself on and off for the past few months since I don't care about half of the remaining LE extras, but i have an earlier LE price and went through Heighway for the order, so I haven't really felt like playing refund whack-a-mole with them for my $5500. Also, the game does look great if they can get their shit together.

Well, the LEs are no longer going to have the fiber optic ramp lighting or gloss cabinet that they were said to have back when i first ordered. Also, what I've seen of the powdercoat armor colors looks pretty different (bad) from what it were originally teased.

Anyone else get a letter from MB Insolvency today?

Great timing, i had planned to send them a message today anyway.
