Quoted from Yelobird:

Tough for CGC to win this debate. Just make more LE’s and in no time the few (flippers) will get over the change.

I think CGC screwed up on the LEs and the model is upside down. It's insane to announce a game and the LE's are already sold out. This shouldn't be an elitist hobby, inside circle group, or buy every new title from disti so you automatically get it thing. I met so many new to hobbyists Expo weekend that were generally interested in an LE to be told - already sold out. Not the way to embrace the new blood pumping life into this hobby.

Up the # of LEs going forward so your inside circle groups can still feel special but there are enough LEs so when you officially announce 5 minutes after they don't sell out. Or as the thread discusses, do what Stern does (damn I wrote that). Create a Premium with all the light features and sell the toppers. The Les are the deal - price wise - but you're excluding such a big part of the hobby. And BS to those who say buy sight unseen. Those of us burned on preorder BS will never do it again.

I'm a second hand buyer the last few years based on NIB pricing. With the hobby upside down in pricing, I bought a NIB recently (Stern - Mando Premium) and was interested after seeing CCr at Expo. Ive played CC before but hats off to CGC for putting their spin on it. Too bad SE is not what I want in a version and now secondary market will dictate $14K price for LE. Yeah butt hurt but the model is broke. Fix it. I should add, my CCr LE money will likely now go to Stern Godzilla Premium.

Quoted from jfh:

The game play of both editions is identical except for a minor mode for the topper that a number of folks have said is interesting but gets old quickly. Other than the extended warranty the other differences are small cosmetic ones that don’t impact game plan in any way

Quoted from bigd1979:

it hasn't diminished my love for playing pinball as i was still able to get other models. I especially can't see the issue when it comes to cgc pins as they still offer a full game minis some cosmetic stuff unlike stern and jjp. Sounds like a bunch of entitled people missed out on the le this time and are now being babies.

Quoted from Concretehardt:

Many of those who got LE’s were not somehow special or well connected, they simply took 30 seconds to send Sara at PPS an email or reach out to their favorite distributor a couple months ago

For $1K more you get 12 extra months on electronics, 6 extra months on mechanical, and another mode in the game - oh yeah and the topper. You can trivialize all you want to make your point but it falls on deaf ears. The LE is the better buy period.

No one is saying it diminishes love for playing pinball. I'll still play it when I see it and enjoy it because Lyman is the man on the keyboard code. Will I buy an SE for $1K less without the extended warranty, whistles, etc - nope. I also don't like the sales model of buy before announce. Been in this hobby a long time, won't preorder ever again. So entitled babies - lol. I guess all the new hobbyists are as well by your definition. Lighten up Francis.

A couple months ago reached out to disti. Expo was the unveiling. Agree to disagree. I feel the model is broken. Add more LE's to the announce date and to owners who want to play and enjoy - not flip for $4K profit and never open the box. New people to the hobby don't sit on pinside and preorder with PPS.
