Quoted from RobertWinter:I couldn't help but notice in that video the MAJOR color differences versus what is shown in the promo pic. The promo pic shows a much lighter purple powdercoat and backbox trim. That Expo purple looks almost black. Personally I think the promo colors look much better than that Expo game.[quoted image]
The original image has been colour graded in photoshop or something. I thought it as soon as I saw it . . . it's far too vibrant to be an accurate representation.
The other issue is that they've not powdercoated the door or speaker panel which is scurrilous.
Considering this is supposed to be the super special ultra rare fantasy GOAT edition you'd think that Stern would make the best Elvira they were capable of making.
The topper is already manufactured and on the production line so why omit it? The rails and lockbar are going to be powder coated anyway so why not just stick all of the metal in? Not including these items is a cut-back and a cost saving.
I can only conclude that there will be a cynical final edition which include all of the upgrades and it will cost as much as a new Mercedes.
Stern may well be cooking the golden goose.
