Quoted from mnpinball:I'm sorry I didn't HYPE this pin months in advance !
.......and now it looks like $10k before Christmas.
Seriously they made 500 METLE, that's the total of AC/DC BIBLE (300) and LTBR (200) combined.
I thought the word was 400, and only 250 remained statewide? Anyhow, I'm still of the opinion that Stern is NOT benefitting from the LE model. There are 3 possible outcomes:
a) Demand is high and not enough are available. Customers unhappy, Stern loses potential profit
b) Demand is low so Stern and Distributors have them sitting around in warehouses. Stern and Distributors Unhappy.
c) Demand meets expectations.
In the best of those scenarios Stern only meets their projections, with no room to exceed them in any of the 3 cases.
In this case the premium model exists, but lets face it, everyone prefers both the LE and Pro art package. It's just an odd business model, but collectors are an odd lot.
