Quoted from billyboy:

Remember, JJP has never sold out of a CE in the company's existence.
There are different factors to why this also is currently happening :
1) Covid-People at home with time/money and want the latest toy to entertain themselves.
2) Theme integration-Asset overload, they basically acquired an unprecedented amount of content (Great job JJP). Most people realize that it will probably never occur at this level again, so the frenzy took over.
3) Marketing-Proved that timing and proper launch techniques sell these games.
There's 500 CE's, but there's also 5000 LE's, so not all is lost.
It's great to see that the hobby is evolving and healthy in what seems to be "unstable times".

JJP also never had a CE with non-cosmetic differences before.

That silly ball lock is what is really driving up the demand.

FOMO is a marketer's best tool

Quoted from oropuro:

seems like they should at least say CE are limited to orders by people and distributors in the first 24hrs, then announce the CE number then, say they sell 826 units the first 24hours, then 826 is the Limited number. I think the game looks amazing, I dislike band pins theme wise, and not a fan of GNR. Maybe the new lower price point for JJP will carry over on there older games? $6750 for a new Hobbit ST and Wonka ST, $13500 comes flying out of my pocket for that deal... and what's with the no free shipping crap everywhere, next thing you know they will want sales tax...(which I would pay if bought in my state)

Logistics nightmare with the signed apron card

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

Another thing I really don't care about
Just give me a 2nd different CE version with the lock mech, and all the fancy trimmings minus the signature card (or a reproduction signature card)
and I am fine with it

You might not care about the autograph, but GNR fans do. Just like how GNR fans aren't going to care about the pinball part

Gotta please all masters

JJP is fine. They don't have to do anything or make another CE or another non-limited version with the apron mech.

Quoted from fuko:

It has EVERYTHING to do with predicting demand. If the CE for the previous 3 or 4 games never sold out, and you PREDICTED this game would sell roughly similar, then you wouldn't have taken steps to pre-allocate with distributors, and you certainly wouldn't have limited the number of units sold through your first party channel.

JJP did sorta predict huge demand. It's the most CE's theyve ever had. They knew it would be very popular. They just didn't realize it would be that popular
