After reading ALL the comments in this thread, that took a few days!! I still decided to buy an LE. It will be delivered on Friday and I will update all with any concerns. My reasons for buying.... First, my wife played the game several times last weekend and absolutely loved it, that it very rare, lol. Second, I feel these issues are random and while I honestly do feel for the ones effected, there seems to be a lot of people with nothing but praise. Third, I have a GREAT distributor, who I trust will take care of any issues that do arise. Lastly, like Ghostbusters, there were upset buyers, again I truly feel for those involved. My Ghostbusters is perfect and I'm loving it to death. ( Just added a few mods, shaker, etc )
Again, I truly hope you guys get your problems resolved, fingers crossed I don't get a shooter lane full of black or planking.
I should also add to my last point, I have an original WOZLE and have never had to replace any light boards, have zero chipping and while I did have a few issues, they were taken care of. I bought it with 14 plays and Ive owned it for 4+ years now.
