Quoted from arcademojo:I know those that only want the LE to have it increase in value will disagree with this. It's about time Stern takes on the JJP approach of making a larger number of LE games. I know, I know they tried to up the number years ago but that was years ago. Pinball is at an all time high right now. No reason for Stern not to up their LE#'s to 1000 or 1200.
JJP does the CE thing which is really the same as Stern's LE. JJP's LE on GnR was limited to 5000 which is basically unlimited as they won't sell that many.
But yes, I agree the current model is somewhat broken - I'm not sure what the right solution is for Stern - raise prices, sell directly, more LEs, no LEs. I wish there was a way to get rid of the speculators.
