Quoted from starbase:Keep dreaming, 1000 is not exclusive. Home use models will be available here on pinside very shortly without any inflated hyped up price. See the availability of hobbit LE, there is a ton available.
The one thing you guys aren't factoring in, is how this hobby is growing. A ton of new pinheads have came along over the last few years. I don't see it slowing down anytime soon, so 1000 LE's may be a low number if the rules end up being awesome!
