Quoted from DCFAN:

I was looking at old internet links and could not find anything where JJP committed to limit the Ruby reds to only 1500.
There are some articles saying 1500 but I could not find anything where JJP committed in stone to limit to 1500. Maybe someone else here could find that.

Quoted from Coindork:

Does anyone else think it’s totally stupid to have a serial numbered game that is outside and exceeds the total production number.
Completely negates the reason for numbering games and how serial numbers are intended to be used.
Why not have serial number 8251939 of 1500 since the game came out April 25th if that year?

Quoted from SilverballSleuth:

I’d be asking for even more than that. Any part of the game that says 1939, I’d want replaced. Period.

Quoted from oPinsesame:

But OP posted picture of the carton which says “Serial # 1939.” He paid big money for this game and chose a number that was clever and meaningful, in reliance on the (assumed) uniqueness of each serial number. I don’t think OP is out of line at all (in this thread anyway) pointing out to all of us and JJP that JJP had a shit process of ensuring unique serial numbers. There is no resolution that would work here except a signed apology card from Jack for OP to have in his game.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

I hear Modcouple, Mezelmods, and Modfather are making really nice 1939 plates for all of us. Now, no one will be left out.
Seriously the LE thing got out of hand these past several years. Love what American Pinball started, one packed model, one version.
