So happy I can get a topper for my SE. the guy I buy LEs from couldn’t get me one so I settled for the SE. the topper was a big reason I really wanted the LE. Great move to keep it not model specific similar to what they did with the MMR topper

I feel bad for anyone that bought an LE from a flipper and paid a much higher price. the LE is the best deal at 9250 but i bet it will kill the flipper markets ceiling for asking price
Quoted from CosmoJoe:So LE pre-orders can just cancel. I'm sure there is a long line of people who would love the LE and aren't angry over someone with an SE having a topper, lol.
I put my name on my distributors list if anyone cancels their LE
Quoted from Mando:I don't think it would have sold as quickly without the FOMO personally ... The LEs and extra exclusive items create the fomo .. then those who missed out still want the game . Could be wrong .
I’d still take an LE instead of my SE. I have my name down for an LE with pinball star if people pass. I usually get LEs when released but couldn’t get this one. I could of flipped all my Les if I wanted to but we play them for a couple months then if something better comes out I’ll buy one. By then i miss the window but shoot I’ve been happy to break even on the LEs I sold. Getting Godzilla soon so hoping it’s a keeper next to Mando
Quoted from Mrawesome44:I think this is a slap in the face of people who purchased an LE or who purchased one in the past. For those asking why they didn't make more. People forget AFM and MB Le's sat in boxes for a long time. They weren't instant sell outs they were a slow burn. Hell people didn't even buy that many mmr royals editions. At this point I would have preferred that cgc just make more Limited Editions than to strip uniqueness from the LE and sell a pseudo stripped down version thats still the same price as the LE.
Yep, Way different world of pinball now. When I first got LEs it was a waiting list. You could find them for msrp or less even after they started shipping. Now people are selling spots for way over msrp
If I was cgc I would of put the Le at a much higher price
Quoted from MachineGunGuy:Well, I bit the bullet and ordered an LE. First Non-Stern Game I have bought. The quality of the CGC Games appears to be top notch. The retro look Wild West theme is a dramatic departure from the new Stern Games.
Apparently CGC Officially announced a new Mirrored Back Glass Option with the Original Bally Logo for an extra $250.00. This is available to LE Purchasers only from what I understand. Figured might as well add that since the additional pain was minimal given the price of the LE. I'm sure it will look awesome and not every Limited Edition Buyer will buy it.
Did you find one at msrp or did you have to buy it off someone?
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:I got the 320x80 set. Need to get it to 24 bit somehow now…

Did you get your cactus canyon already???
Quoted from Ivanhoe:I've put in for an LE, I understand the reason why CGC is making more toppers and I agree with them, I love a good topper. However, the whole purpose for getting an LE is that it comes certain exclusive features (not just artwork and a signature) that you can't get or replicate on other versions.
Look at the JJP Pirates line up...the CE is very different from the LE (middle line model); some people would probably debate me on this. I hope manufacturers understand this. I am a collector and try to get LE's when possible, don't know why I don't question it, and if I lose those items that make it exclusive then I'm out of the hobby of buying LE's. I feel, manufacturers need to make sure they maintain the LE's status by limiting the machines with better add-ons or features. This is easily accomplished by making the play field have certain interactive toys something that would require HEAVY modification to replicate on lower end models. So go ahead, make and sell as many toppers as you'd like, just make sure there are enough features left over to make a difference before you make that choice.
You could get the topper on MMR. I hope they sell the afm topper someday. I want it for my se. Why not make more money off these toppers. They will sell well.
Quoted from BossaNova:I blame Fire! Champagne Edition.
Let’s see some games on the line! Hype thread needs hype!
Probably a good example with the adding more functionality/gimmicks with the addition fire reel spinning
I wish cgc would give an update. If it’s months out I’d probably find a filler pin for New Years and sell it before CCr arrives. Anyone hear of any news for shipping the first SEs?
Quoted from explosiveegg:At this point I would not expect any SEs to ship before New Years. A lot of people will have time off around this time that most businesses move at a snails pace until after the new year.
I'd love to be wrong though!
yeah, I’m not banking on New Years but if it’s going to be feb/march I might buy something. If it’s Jan I will just wait
Quoted from Jodester:I agree. It makes it really hard trying to expand your collection not knowing when a game you pre-ordered will show. (First world problems, I know)
Yeah, I agree, I actually have rush and road show coming but rush might also be delayed if I didn’t get on the first run. I’d be ok with that because I’m going to have to move a pin or two if we like rush or road show and CCr comes anytime soon. I really enjoy stranger things and have afm se so it might be between those two if we like rush or road show
Quoted from mzhulk:My SE+ was also upgraded to LE, very happy as I was pretty bummed when I tried for a LE and they where all sold out. Thank you to all the people who backed out, as this game is going to be great.
That’s awesome people are getting upgrades. I wanted an LE and have an SE. no upgrade for me it sounds like
Quoted from jfh:Pretty sure the PPS upgrades only applied to those that converted SE to SE+ orders so if you still had an SE you wouldn’t be on the list.
Yeah, i figured. I had my name on a list for an le if anyone cancelled with joe from pinstar but I was never contacted.
Quoted from Jecco74:I just cancelled my LE order from planetary. Someone should move up the list
Dang, I’d love an le for the 1250 additional. I reached out to my buddy to see if they had any openings but they didn’t. It’s great they are upgrading Se plus folks
Quoted from jfh:I’m interested in hearing why people who presumably were so excited to get an LE slot in November are changing/thinking of changing their minds.
1) Tired of waiting?
2) Need the deposit back?
3) Getting an SE instead?
4) Disappointed in game play videos/reports?
5) Getting/got another pin instead?
6) Something else?
and, for transprtr4u:
7) All of the above
Is there a lot of folks cancelling??? I’d think there are far and few between. 9250 is an excellent price in this market
