One benefit of going with the premium that hasn't been mentioned yet is that they will be built later. Yes, you will have to wait longer for it, but it also gives Stern more time to work out any kinks in the production. It's a known fact that early games often have issues that are fixed in later runs.

If the game is a hit, then the LE will hold its value or go up in price relative to the premium. If the game is a dud, then it might lose a little compared to the premium, but it should always fetch more. I can't think of an example where the LE and the premiums command the same amount of money in the secondary market. Every game has its fans, even the less popular ones.

I think it's interesting how everyone already assumes that GB will be a big hit. I seem to recall the same reaction to TWD when the first photos of the game were revealed. Once people actually started playing it, however, they weren't nearly as enthusiastic. It turns out that Lyman's code ultimately saved the game, but it was kind of dicey there for a while. GB looks pretty sweet, but it's definitely premature to call the game a hit. This is precisely why I stopped pre-ordering games sight unseen. I'd rather wait a year or so for the code to mature and then judge the game at that time.

Wait .... the slings on the LE don't have traditional kickers at all? I assumed the magnets were just in addition to the regular slings.
