If you listen to the video presentation it was said that Williams also has to approve portions of the license, not jut PPS.

I just heard that that Christopher Franchi is doing the art on one of their next titles.

Got my LE order secured! Two games purchased in one day (R&B being the other) is a record for me. Can’t wait to get both of them.

Does the LE come with HD / anti-reflective glass? Have any previous CGC games included it? I don’t see it listed on their matrix.

After reading all of these posts of people unable to secure an LE I am feeling even more thankful I was able to secure one with an online purchase from a dealer I have never purchased from. It is strange how the hobby does not reward loyalty. I have purchased 7 NIB games and each of them have been through different dealers.

How do you know this? They have a new hardware platform and OS, my guess is that it can support IC.

Because people have different price points and priorities. Some people are limited on space and want the nicest version of a game with all the bells and whistles. Some want a game as cheap as possible for locations and others want a good value. I think the 3 tier model like Stern does is perfect. If you are unable to get an LE the premium is unlimited and has all of the gameplay features. I am sure this also benefits the manufacturer.

If anybody ends up with LE # 242 let me know. I would like to get this number to match my other (non CGC) games. I have one on order but no idea what number it will be. In Atlanta at SFH, Ryan was indicating that they were not doing SN matching/requests but I don't know if that is where the landed.

The hobby is what you make of it. If you want to just play pinball go to a location and play! If you want a basic game in your house, buy one. If you are into collecting do what it takes to get an LE.

I would be down for a pair!

You can make the same argument for people on the other side of the fence. Stop crying that you did not act smart or quick enough to get your LE with topper.

As someone who has an LE on order, I want the topper to be exclusive to make my game more special and increase its value. I am not a flipper (I have never sold a game) but at some point my games will be sold (by me or my family). It is not just the resale value though, I enjoy having unique things and sharing them with my friends.

I like the pineapple but I hope we all forget the first 70 pages of this thread once our games ship!

I have an LE on order and am pissed off about the topper no longer longer being exclusive. I was beyond ecstatic about securing an LE on launch day. I still want the game and don’t see my self canceling but now I do have a bad taste in my mouth about CGC. Adding HD glass or a mirrored backglass to my LE would more than resolve any beef I have with CGC.

It is just another option for buyers. It is great for everybody except for LE owners. The original SE version is still an option if you think the SE+ is a bad value.

JoeHog - learn from the experience and get on multiple dealer lists if you are interested in a tittle. I think I was on 6 lists and only heard back from two of them on CCr. The honest ones will tell you where you stand and to get on multiple lists to improve your odds of getting the title.

Same here!!

My husband and I were just playing with the numbers. My guess is $600 to $900.

I also just ordered my mirrored backglass from my distributor. I wish this was included from the factory even if at an additional cost.

It is not exclusive to the LE. Anyone that ordered the remake can order one. I have one on order with my distributor and it looks like it will be delivered way before my game!

At this point I would bet that you will be able to buy all of the LE features separately. CGC appears to not care about keeping anything limited.

I honestly don’t get the pineapple references but when I saw this on one of my tiki groups on FB I immediately thought of you guys.

I think Rocky and Bullwinkle has the best backglass (of the machines I have seen).

Man, we have a bunch of old farts in this group. Give insider connected a try and then report back. This has given new life to my three Stern games that support it! It is still pure pinball.

Lets start with one game a year! lol

LTG - It is hard not to be hard on him when I was told the announcement/reveal was going to be made at Southern Fried Gaming Expo ( I think his word were that was still the plan up until 2 days before). With months between SFGE and the actual reveal, things should have been way more polished!

I am just excited I secured an LE and will be getting my first CGC machine this year!

That is exactly what Stern did to me with Elvira. I said F them, canceled the order and thankfully got lucky and found a really nice one for a great deal.
