Quoted from PinballSTAR:

I didn't think the JJP bashing was warranted for Ruby Red 75th - it got people LE's that were sold out that wanted them.. They have started selling nicely for us and collectors are happy to be able to get them. And Jack did the right thing by offering the extras to prior owners so they weren't left out of those.
I also think this is cool from Stern and bashing isn't warranted... People liked ACDC Luci - it's different. And Dirty Donny is an artist doing something special for pinball (and he hit a homerun with Metallica art) and these are custom made by him - it's also different and it's great it's available for those who want it to buy it.
Choices are better than no choices. It's a different landscape - better mostly, some things not, but I'd rather choices than none anyday. I keep reminding people a few years ago you had NBA and BBH to choose from and that's it, want that instead ? Would it be nice they are all done up front and the pricing on everything is less... Ya I agree there...
Anybody making pinball machines, parts, mods, toys, podcasts, magazines, websites, putting on shows, doing repairs, etc... deserves our thanks, not bellyaching... : )~

Quoted from Chambahz:

This won't gain me any popularity but once again:
Pinball is not a safe investment. Buy a pin because it's cool and you enjoy playing it.
If you see things that way, additional versions of already released machines is just icing on the cake.
I doubt I'll have any trouble selling my Met Premium at a fair price simply because the DD Custom edition is available.
Seriously: those of you still complaining about WOZLE: enjoy your game or sell it and be done.
Have they really dropped in value now that you can buy a red one? Seems to me that WOZ pricing is more affected by the fact that half of the pinball players in the world just don't appreciate the layout of the game and/or enjoy playing it.
Overall value seems to be affected primarily from the rating and fun factor of a game. Tron and ACDC are great examples. Had Met seen the code update shortly after release, I'll bet they'd be worth more too.

Quoted from Chambahz:

Limited edition: they won't keep making them like this model.
NOT the same definition as "ONLY edition"
So what part of that don't YOU understand?

Quoted from PEN:

We paid for LE's under the guise that once they are gone, there will only be standards.

Quoted from PEN:

Let me explain this again.....We paid for LE's under the guise that once they are gone, there will only be standards. I don't like my WOZLE any less, I do distrust preordering. Got it?
