I think JJP 'tries' to make the LE numbers unique. But I would guess mistakes happen because it really is just a number. The LE's are more about the maximum number built. But there are people that would like their LE numbers to match - or for a specific number that may have some sentimental value (or mean something to the theme).

For example: I bought my Hobbit from JJP - and they called to let me know my machine was about ready and did I want a specific LE number? I said, I would like 1932 because that is the year the hobbit was written and I though maybe it would make the pin more cool. But she said that number was already taken - so I just said any number is fine: I got 835 (which is fine). My hobbit is an SE (Smaug Edition) - So I would expect there could be an LE with number 835.

I think it is probably just a mistake - due to that WOZ number having some meaning. Heck, there may have been another that slipped through the cracks.

A serial number would be unique - the LE number should be - but apparently may not be due to a mistake. But there isn't much that can be done if the same LE number is given to two different pins. What else could JJP do but to say sorry?!

I would say try not to get so attached to the LE number - I would think just having the LE would be good enough.

But back to your example about LE #1 - it would be in bad form to have more than one of the LE #1's - but I really doubt it was done on purpose. My experience is that they kept a spreadsheet and tried to associate an LE number to the Build Number/Serial Number and just missed it.

Game number 1939, not serial number

They probably didn't just print out stickers: 1, 2, 3, 4 etc because you can use any number you like that is 4 digits. So when they built your machine they printed out your requested number. It was likely a mistake. Human error happens to every company.

I would like a POTC LE, MBr LE, TRON LE etc - and it won't matter what the LE number is. I won't not get it if it doesn't have a number on it I like. I get it because I like the art package, extra items, etc. Number is a number - I would like the pinball machine.

I still think you need 2 models - one that is more 'affordable' and one that has all the bells and whistles. Otherwise, they will just build premiums and LE models and charge about 10K

Some folks, and operators, would still like to get a pin at a 'reasonable' price for a lower cost of ownership yet still enjoy the pin/theme. I think JJP pin models all play the same, just differ in cosmetics only (I may be wrong on that though). Minus the flying monkey...and wonkavator on wonka?

I guess he is saying that if you want a WOZ RR you need to be aware that the sticker DOES NOT have 1939 on it. So you may want to pass on it. It would have the number 634 on it..so you know..you're fu#*ed
