    That's the point of the LE. It's limited. Not everyone can get one and you have to pay extra for that little plaque. Sorry, zero sympathy for you poor soul fighting over overpriced pinball machines. Buy a premium. Not only will you save a bunch of money but you will have zero problems buying one.

    Quoted from Beez:

    I believe you missed the point ... some of us don’t mind paying a little extra for what’s sure to be special limited run with a few additional features HOWEVER; when others who only seem to look at this as a cash grab, buy it and immediately put a price increase on it ... ugh ... it just puts a big damper on the hobby.

    I totally get it. You want a pin but demand is high which makes it tough and expensive to get. It's no different than the classic pin market. Popular titles demand a premium and market full of flippers. On these older pins there are no other options. However, you do have options when buying nib. Premium is 100% same game as LE and cheaper. Pro sometimes plays better so worth considering. You can buy these without any markup. You can even wait a while for prices to settle and get LE used.

    "On these older pins there are no other options"
    On these older pins, there are PLENTY of options. This is still a great hobby if you want it to be. And it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
    I look forward to playing Mando on location and wish for those who truly want to own this game the best of luck. Just dont let their bullshit affect you too much if it doesnt happen.

    Totally agree. What I meant by older pins have no other options is that if you want a specific title you generally have to pay market value. If you want TAF but have only a T2 budget then that's just not going to work. You either need to save up more or buy a cheaper pin.

    Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

    All I can say is I’m glad I can’t afford an LE because it is a total shit show. Totally brings this hobby to a different level and it really is sad.

    Another level? How? There is more to pinball than LE pins. LE pins are designed to be hot collector's items and people that buy LE pins demand exactly this. If anything, it shows pinball is doing pretty well when there are that many people fighting over $10000+ pins. If Stern increased the LE number to a high number to match demand fans would be upset. If Stern increased the price or did a lottery system to try to cut out scalpers, fans would be upset. LE buyers want this game because they stand to benefit and it makes it exciting. If you don't want to play the game then buy something else. Simple as that.
