Quoted from TigerLaw:

I'm not really concerned about the "investment" side of this. I agree that no LE will go up value again, Stern will take all money off the table...now they are even taking money from the modders.
My concern is that when you go through the two year code ride you have a game taking up space for two years that could be filled by a complete pin. WOZ is complete and we know the hobbit will be complete quickly after release...we are clueless on ST, TWD, and Wrestlemania.

This is the issue as I believe this LE is truly collectable. I do not think a premium will be released and am very worried about code. IF Stern does keep this at 400 units, then it may retain value. If they make a Premium well then I will never trust them again. They did this with TWD, but this time they are saying no premium. Fool me once..

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

I'm going to say this as a fan of both Stern and JJP games....Stern is slow with updating its games. As a WOZ owner I saw over a dozen code updates in just over 6 months. Also, the updates were substantial and offered modes with rules that are not found in most Stern games. I also own an ACDC Premium and have been waiting nearly two years for an update to add the games advertised cannon modes.
Personally I think the slow crawl with Stern releasing updates or not at all is due to their programmers being spread too thin over multiple titles and not being given an adequate amount of time to work on a games code. Stern moves fast with releasing titles but the opposite can be said for releasing code updates. One of those approaches makes them more money then the other...
Hopefully Sterns approach to code updates changes as their designers come up with some really cool playfield designs. It's a shame that many of their pins never or take what seems like forever to reach their potential due to infrequent code updates.

It will change when Gary stops micro managing everyone or grow up
