Quoted from Jecco74:I doubt that…
They have one ... I'd like the backglass not sure is a "subdealer" any idea when LEs are supposed to ship?
You still get in addition powered coat, apron , train tracks , mine cart maybe something else I missed .

Quoted from PPS:The Cactus Canyon Mirrored Backglass will be available for ALL CCR Customers (1 per Customer). This was difficult to figure out so we kept it to PPS customers but CGC will be providing us a way to ensure it can be available for all CCR customers.

Thanks ! And I'm in on that
I'm not overly bothered by this ... Woukd it be cool to have the topper as an exclusive ? Yes . Did it ever say it was ...actually no just said included . We do still get some other goodies ... And happy about the backglass ... No need to be outraged , mildly annoyed maybe . They are offering refunds and acknowledge this may not make everyone happy .
What I will say is that the entire reveal etc could have been done better they obviously were not prepared, but all good !
I specifically recall them saying they had not yet decided if they would sell the topper separate or not, and their marketing material said it was "included" with the LE not "Exclusive"...now it did say LE Only which could mean its only included with the LE(so this would mean maybe you can buy it separate) or you could take that to mean Exclusive.
I agree they should have figured this out from the start, but correct me if I am wrong on the above. My friend was over today and I told him the same thing before this news hit that I thought they might sell it. I didn't expect another edition , but safe difference really topper is 1250 I guess.
Quoted from iceman44:Wrong. It’s says, once again, “limited edition only”. That ship has sailed and we know why they waffled
yes it did say LE only, but like I said that was not clear as it could mean you only get it "included" with the LE. No where does it say exclusive.
Now with that said, and I totally told my friend this was gonna happen today....
I can see how people took that as there will never be another way to get it, especially based on past games.
I am in on a LE and I too was hoping it was exclusive, because hey lets be real its cool to have something limited that not everyone has..but it is what it is at this point and I saw it coming.
Quoted from Cherries_Jubilee:It will Not have the Bally Logo or the Copyright info.....
I am a little annoyed they pulled it from CPR site, was planning on buying it and they still have AFM and MB so this was kinda an uncool move my PPS...but if they will see me one not over what CPR charges then no harm no foul I can live with another logo.
Quoted from nocreditdot:The topper should be sold as an extra just like MMR. That way anyone can upgrade any version.
At this point they need to charge 1250 for it
Quoted from Lhyrgoif:CGC did good with the SE+, now everyone that want that topper can get one. The LE buyers still have better stuff for the same money so they should be happy too (the few sour pineapples that don't want to see other people getting the topper are selfish people).
After this whole CCr debacle I hope CGC learned their lesson for future games and stops with this different model crap though. Release one model with all bells and whistles and make a large number of them so most that want one can get it (ie several housands). I know this won't happen but one can always dream, right?
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 .
A few more thoughts.
1. I think the guns on the apron should shoot real bullets on the LE , then I will be mad whole again! I mean I like that steak knives idea, but who brings a knife to a gun fight?
2. I get why some LE buyers are upset, I think one reason that many of us are willing to spend our hard earned money on these overpriced machines is the fact they can hold or sometimes even exceed their value in re-sale. This makes you feel better about you purchase that if you end up needing the cash you just put in a toy , or want a new game etc you can get it back. Without this element they would not sell for what they do, the market would just not hold up IMO. Not saying this is a good approach, but its the reality. If people thought the topper was exclusive to the LE then clearly this protects their purchase a bit.
With that said, they did not say it was exclusive as PPS posted above, though I agree their marketing material could have led one to believe that as well as past games. Also you can get out if you feel you lost your value.
Now, does anyone know when LE's are supposed to ship? And how do I get this backglass! Totally planned on buying it from CPR, hopefully the price is similar. PPS ?
Quoted from pinballinreno:Email [email protected] and tell her you want it on your game.
What if we didn't get it from PPS ?
Played a game of my EHOH today in his honor had my best game ever ! I guess that may have been his last game ?
Hopefully we get to see his vision for CCR , sure he put a great deal of thought into it like always !
To be clear I am not asking for it , just saying would be a nice final stamp on his brilliant career !
Quoted from ifpapinball:Fortunately we worked on stuff closest to the start button first. I don't know a lick of programming so I'm thankful we were as far into the project as we were when this tragedy happened.
We were currently working on the (spoiler alert) two-stage wizard mode for High Noon. Rules are in but that Lyman choreography polish we've all grown to appreciate and love hadn't been meticulously implemented yet.
There's also potentially (Spoiler alert) some hardware features to our update that had not been fully implemented yet.
I'll be seeing this thing through without a doubt. Him and I were so proud of the work we accomplished on this thing and there's no way he wouldn't want to see the community enjoy the update.
Great news ! Just a thought but maybe a small portion of whatever is charged for the add on should go to his family or a charity that he was fond of ?
