0, well of course not zero but very unlikely. Here's why

1. Stern did the licensing right with Ghostbusters: Will feature voices / linkeness from actors in the original films. Main theme has been licensed. Assets can be used from both films.
2. Custom callouts from an actual Ghostbusters actor
3. The artwork, it's incredible
4. The TOY offering. I haven't seen a Stern toy / feature offering that has ever looked this promising. Far better then anything in AVLE / WWE LE. I love my XMEN LE partially because of it's toy offering and Ghostbusters premium / LE matches if not exceeds that game in the toy department in my opinion.
5. Flow: The game has a lot of toys with unique shots that will still offer fast gameplay
6. The code / rules: From what we heard so far the game will have a very deep ruleset with interesting modes including two wizard modes.

Overall everything about released about Ghostbusters so far makes it sound like a hit.

Anyone with LEs left?

Good points. I think what hurt Hulk LE value wasn't necessarily the Hulk character himself but rather the games audio, rules, artwork, layout, and license package. Had all of those items been done right I'm sure the game would be worth much more today. Does Avengers even have any of the film actors voices in it?

Ghostbusters just seems to have it all. Just think if the toy / feature offering wasn't as good as what's been shown, there was no Ernie Hudson doing callouts but rather a random voice actor, no callouts pulled from any actor from the films and then photoshop artwork all over the playfield. Ugh. That would have been terrible but thankfully none of that happened.

Licensing can really make or break a game. I love The Walking Dead but I just can't buy the pin as it lacks custom callouts from one of the actors, they are not represented on the playfield (only the cabinet as if it's an advertisement and was ok there) and none of the actors voices and stories are tied into the games audio and rules. Theme attachment is why a lot of people drop $5k-$8k on these games and at those prices I expect for Stern to at least get original audio and character likeness rights.

I do agree that Stern should be including more in LE's other then powder coated armor and a unique artwork package. It's as if Stern know's people will just buy an LE because it's limited so why put more in it. Don't get me wrong I think Ghostbusters LE looks incredible but is there $1500 in extra's there? No way.

Now look at Star Trek LE for example. There's powder coated laser etched side armor that lights up, a stainless steel speaker grill, and the head of the cabinet has a cool Starfleet logo that sticks out and lights up as well. Now those are the types of features that should be included at the LE level.

Also, Stern really needs to do away with the tiny "LE plaque". I put "LE plaque" in quotes as it's just so cheesy looking. Stern did a nice job on WWE LE but including a cool plaque with a signature on it. Personally I think Stern should do away with the current "LE plaque" design and put something like below tied to the theme in the middle of the apron. A signature doesn't have to be there but the number of the game could be laser etched into the metal.

I can barely see my XMEN LE's # and that's only if I lean forward and squint. Hey I can finally read the number when it's this close, lol. Seriously the damn game number text is smaller then the "all rights reserved" text. This isn't just on GB LE but rather all Stern LE's. It needs to change. For $8k there should at least be a cool laser etched plaque with the game number.

I was just on the Chase site looking at the Sapphire and the fake name they are using is D. Barret, could very well be Dana Barrett, lol. Maybe Chase is hoping that Ghostbusters fans will get their card, haha.

I hope there's some type of sound effect played when they are activated as otherwise it's going to seem odd. I assume Stern did a lot of testing with the magnetic slings and look at them as something that enhances gameplay. Hopefully they don't turn out to be something that people dislike. It's a huge change considering it will be the first pin, at least in the modern era, to not use regular kickers.

Yup. I mean the LE looks awesome but is there $1400- $1500 in extras over the premium? No way. Stern really hasn't made an LE worth the extra cost over the premium since Star Trek LE in my opinion. That game has laser etched powder coated armor that lit up, the interior of the game had extra lighting, the apron lit up, the head of the cabinet lit up and there was a slick stainless steel cover over the speaker panel. Now that's how you do an LE.

Just adding basic powder coated armor, and a mirrored backglass is not enough but hey Stern knows that people will buy em up and sure enough that happened so why add more and make a game like ST LE?

Personally I rather own a premium, add the rumored light bar topper, the ZombiYeti custom armor, and a Color DMD. That would be the same cost of an LE if not give or take $100. That option seems like you would be getting far more for your money.

Like I said the LE looks awesome and I can see why people are buying it. I've gone back and forth about buying an LE or a premium and decided to go the premium route as I can't justify the LE price.

When the difference is only the backglass and side artwork it's not a big deal. This isn't a Star Trek LE or WOZ ECLE situation where there are truly a lot of differences. Like I said before the LE looks awesome but there is certainly not $1400- $1500 worth of extras there.

Metallica, TWD and especially ACDC Premium values have held fairly well. That trend will likely continue for Ghostbusters. Even if I sell it down the road for a $500 loss that's fine, that's not that bad considering depreciation value in other hobbies can be a lot worse.

I can't see having $9.5k tied up in the LE after adding a ColorDMD, the Stern topper and the special armor package. If I had the extra money around I would buy the LE of course and all the add ons but I dont.

Wow, I didn't know that. So Stern easily makes the most profit on the LE model then. Whatever special aftermarket armor they create for the game should have been included on the LE along with at least a stainless steel speaker grill instead of the plastic insert like on the other models.

Yes! You have been denying that for years now and it's old. I know you think you can just spray paint WOZ green and it's an ECLE but there's a little more to it then that.

1. High quality powder coated armor
2. Powder coated habit rails
3. Clear coated apron with LE plaque
4. Clear coated direct print cabinet
5. Unique topper
6. Mirrored backglass
7. Shaker + invisiglass

Yeah, now that's an LE! Same goes for STLE.

...and you're such a WOZ basher, for years now. Keep thinking that, lol! You should start selling Teekee WOZ LEs feature green spray painted armor. No differences! Offer some homemade wood aprons too. No differences. $10k by Christmas.

Now let's get back to Ghostbusters please.

Nah. Go look at the list I posted Guess you missed that. "See said the blind man". Can you try talking about Ghostbusters instead of WOZ trolling? Doesn't that get old after 3 years?

Lol, yes.

Looking forward to tonight's Ghostbusters stream. The rules overview that Stern posted today on Facebook look awesome and very deep. When all is said and done I wouldn't be surprised if Ghostbusters is as deep as LOTR if not deeper.
