My distributor says they don't even know their allotment yet so can't say if you get an LE or not and I have been on the radar for months. looks like CGC is dropping the ball with the distributors and not being as forthcoming as they should be.

Lets hope as you say a bunch drop off the list when it comes actual time to pay. It would be nice if those of us that have bought LE's in the past can at least get on the top of the list as a loyalty thing.

If we are guaranteed and LE no problem take my $1000.00 non-refundable deposit and I have no problem on waiting. It's just how can they roll out the product and not give the distributors the allotment #'s in either category. Please take my $$$$ lol

Are you kidding me?? We are all lined up like lemmings ready to jump as soon as they say hey we have the next game and please take our $$$$.

What I was told by my distributor is that the richy rich guys who buy ALL the LE's from all the manufacturer's get first dibs on this one as well even though i was on the radar as soon as the next CGC game was rumored. I can only afford to buy a NIB about once every couple years and counted myself lucky to get a MBrLE and a MMRE but alas not a CCrLE.

What has become apparent, is that pinball is now becoming the playground for the well healed, if you dare want to buy an LE or anything the least bit desirable, and loyalty to brand is out the window.

Just like everything now , it's who know, who you blow and deep pockets rule

Thanks for the update and CGC's consideration for all of us able to purchase fantastic products at an affordable price. This is what makes people want to purchase again and again.

As stated in a previous post I consider myself EXTREMLY FORTUNATE to have been able to purchase the last couple of releases and will ultimately buy this one even though I won't get a topper. "It is what it is" as they say. All that being said I sure as hell didn't begrudge the guys that had MMr's from the original runs getting a topper to complete their games when i bought my MMRE.

So if CGC is at all considering the topper as an add on for the regular game kudo's to the team and bring it on

[Removed] - how CGC decides to run their busines is their business and its about making $$$ so why leave shit tons on the table to please a few - obviously your an "i got me an LE guy"

CGC builds a great product, so yes, if a few LE buyers get pissed there are more lined up to take their place this run and next run for sure

yes and another 2K that are willing - do the math - plus the LE guys still get a bunch of other extras so it still sets them apart

My point exactly!! the topper is only one portion of the LE

Throw them a bone are you kidding I called my distributor and emailed months ago to be on the "list" and was told there is no "list" then when the game is revealed called same day to only be told they hadn't gotten any allocation and that they would look after their regular LE buyers who wanted one first.

So basically they are catering to the richy riches that can afford to buy every NIB LE that comes out and screw the guy that can only afford to buy the odd one here and there.

This looks good on all of them I just wish we had a better distributor in my area that was a little more transparent and looked after all their customers the same.

They sure did - mine basically fucked me over by saying there was never any list even though I showed interest months and months ago and had bought the last 2 CGC LE's as I love the product and quality.

I was basically told screw you, you don't buy enough from us so you are way down the list. At least those of you in the USA have multiple distributors but we in many other countries are stuck with one or maybe two we can only deal with.

You can just read thru this thread and see that most of the guys doing the complaining are self entitled a-holes that claim to make all kinds of $$$, say they are the greatest ( I have a Centurion card don't you know ) to stroke their overblown ego's and still want their precious to hold or make them even more $$$.

We should all practice gratitude rather than attitude

I am betting most will put a handful of games on them and then just look at their shinny bauble rather than enjoy the fun aspect of trying to get a high score etc. that makes this such a great hobby.

Then you have the speculator/flipper that just got a bit burnt on what they thought could make some quick $$$, so for that, we should all be grateful. The speculation is an unhealthy and recent trend that is just driving prices up all over.

In the end it's pinball we should ALL count ourselves lucky we can enjoy such a great hobby

The trouble is if you are specific to an individual it just gets you kicked out of the thread. The ones that deserve the title know who they are

I am not saying I am nice - I am as big an asshole as most

yea how about an interactive thing where we shoot pineapples of the fence posts or something

Who cares about an update just be HAPPY your getting the best quality pin on the market. Good things take time.

From a business standpoint do you not think CGC would be shipping if they could ? They will have millions of $$$ tied up in materials that they need to re-coup so it is in their own best interest to ship as soon as they can.

Come on guys we are all adults not little kids - suck it up and be patient

yes i would love that if they do a Martians rule the world edition

I know we are all waiting some sort of update but I am ok with that as we will get it at some point.

The nice thing is, and I believe someone else commented on this, is that the playfields should be well cured by the time the game ships

I know when I got my MBLE it was not long after production and the playfield dimpled a lot.

When I got me MMRE it sat for a fair bit due to the start of covid and the playfield still looks like with new nary a dimple on it.

Just see this thread is active again...lol

In regards to the mirrored backglass i find it more noticeable when the game is off you get the shine of the mirror showing thru. Looks great!! is it worth the $$$ meh but we all spend on worse things i am sure

Hey Guys,
I think someone posted this already but after i gave my CCLE an HONEST review we only need 2 more to make it part of the top 100 listing......
