When I broke down the price comparison between the Standard and LE the LE made sense to me because I preferred the extras. When adding the costs for me to try to make a Standard resemble a Limited Edition it didn't make sense so I went with the LE. I personally like powder coated armor, Invisiglass, and the extra LED lighting with 3d printed and laser etched plastics.

If I were to try to make a Standard resemble and LE and I sent the armor out for powder I'm probably around $400 or more after shipping both ways. Another $250-$300 for the glass. So now I'm at $700 and I still don't have the extra LED lighting for the ramps, headphone jack, 3-D printed / laser etched plastics etc.

So for me the LE makes sense and I'm happy it's an option as it saves me money in the long run.

I agree that being able to choose your pin upgrades direct from the manufacturer on a base model pin ala carte style would be ideal. That said I can also imagine the potential nightmare of costly mistakes regarding order accuracy when too many options are presented.

I agree 100 percent. I'm loving the game and think that JJP did a great job but the stock rubber is disintegrating rapidly under 50 plays. Pinballs look like they are 20 years old as the rubber is scuffing them and leaving remnance instantly. I can polish them up and within a game they look horrible. I'm thinking of going translucent but it's too bad the white isn't more durable.

I don't think that the white looks bad but I do like translucent as it can add to lighting effects on the playfield. It also seems more durable and can clean up easily. Whatever rubber was used on my particular pin was really bad out of the box. Maybe it was just a bad batch?

All that said I'm so surprised with how much I'm enjoying this game. I told myself last year at Chicago Expo that I would never buy Dialed In because of the theme. I'm glad I didn't follow through on that because I would have missed out on one of the most fun pins I've ever played.

Is the back of the head is supposed to be signed by Jersey Jack? I've seen pics with his signature on the back of the backbox but it's not on my LE (build date 8/7/17). Just curious.
