Quoted from rai:

Ok?
If I buy the LE means buy before I play it. What's the odds it could end up as a dog, such as AVLE or WWE LE ?

No one could possibly answer this question. You're taking a risk. If you can afford for this to turn out a dog, then stick with the order. If you will be completely ruined if this isn't the game you expected, don't buy it until you've played it. If you're willing to pay this price now, I'm sure you'd be willing to pay a tad more to get it after it's been out of a bit and you KNOW that you love it.

That being said. Let's say you go LE and this game ends up being a dog. When you go to sell, you'll probably lose 1,00-1,500. If you wait and the game is a home run, you'll probably have to spend an extra 1,000-1,500 on the secondary market. If you agree with that assessment and don't care about all the things that come along with being an early adopter, you might as well get the LE now.

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

apparently "selling out" LE.

Sold out. Heard they were gone in hours.

Quoted from TaTa:

To the distributors. I called Automated yesterday and they still had them available

Would be surprised if any reasonably priced ones are left.

I think it's hilarious that people care about a screened backglass compared to a translite sitting up against a piece of glass.

Quoted from dzoomer:

I find the OP question a little strange imo. The big "un-moddable" difference is the cab and translite artwork.

Getting the cab art and translite from the LE is probably the easiest thing to mod a prem to be like. Just need scans and a print shop.

Dwight Sullivan has done STTNG, Sopranos, TSPP, and LOTR....

Don't forget POTC and GOT

Quoted from hooch333:

Way too early to turn the corner yet, but I have heard so many people say GB will be their first NIB, makes me wonder how this will effect Stern's next Title......Or how many people are pulling money out of Aliens, Hobbit, etc, etc, for this game?

I think there are a lot of people that are getting GB in addition to those games.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

you do realize that model T's don't have tempered glass right. There was no such thing as tempered glass back then. Tempered is strong as shit, unless it is subjected to temp changes (no it doesn't take that much of a change) or you slightly ting one of the edges. Have you watched the video where someone shows you how durable playfield glass is? The guy stood on a piece that was on bricks from side to side..bounced in the center. Didn't break. Barely hit the edge with something and it shattered into diamonds. It's just as fragile with things cold or warmer than the glass. Anyone around here can tell you they have seen it first hand. No mishandling..nothing. Just bursting in your hands for no reason. But this only holds true for tempered glass. Many EM glasses and zaccaria glasses are standard glass and are not as fragile to these conditions.

Come on dude. OP politely asked for you guys to take it elsewhere. I'm not interested in reading about glass. I want to read about GB Prem vs LE.

Quoted from rai:

While the gameplay video will be a pro, we will be able to see the shots same shots (minus the moving ghost and minus the magnet slings) and hope to see some good rules sound effects, music that I might know more if this will be a good game.

I am really interested to see how those magnet slings work. Just gotta hope a prem pops up around me so I can get my hands on one.

Interesting. That seemed to operate like a standard sling to me.
