    Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:

    Logistics time:
    - Powder coating $250
    - Art Blades $100
    - HD Glass upgrade $200
    - shitty speaker upgrade $50
    Premium MSRP $

    Logistics time:
    - Powder coating $250
    - Art Blades $100
    - HD Glass upgrade $200
    - shitty speaker upgrade $50
    Premium MSRP $8,999
    LE MSRP $10,500 (for the lucky ones that were able to snag one)
    You nerds are spending 1k for a backglass with a stupid mirror on it presuming you got this for MSRP. Add on the extra 2k-4K flipper tax if you happen to not be down with a local distro, which makes it 3k-5k for a mirrored backglass vs. the premium.
    I used to feel like pinball folks are generally smart to be able to afford this kind of stuff, but I’m reconsidering lately. Would anybody like to buy a chromed out bridge? Asking for a friend.

    Does the shaker come with a premium?Foiled side art on cabinet, how much is that worth? Someone’s time to acquire and install the items, let’s call it a convenience fee. I’d hate to mess up the cabinet or side art putting on new powder coated rails over a couple of hundred bucks too. When you add all this up there isn’t much difference.

    Now that is assuming you want those upgrades. Some people do and some don’t.
