The big guys are all out, from what I hear. There are a few out there with some of the smaller and newer distros. Definitely check with Zdoor and Hemi. They were delayed in getting their allotment finalized because of the Stern system crash, but were supposed to get double digits.

I would expect the LE to legitimately be sold out at the retail level in another 24-48 hours, tough. It was mayhem today. Talked to Rich at GEX and they were slammed.

Stern's site is still down, so i can't check the dostro list. We need to compile a list of distros for those still looking for LEs or that were left out in the cold today.

Who has confirmation of any distro still holding LEs?

Who has confirmation that a distro is sold out?

As of 2:00 PM, GEX had only a few left. I suspect he was out by close of business today
Pupo is said to be out.
Steve at Fun is sold out.
Zdoor is sold out.
GAP sold out.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for letting us know. Glad they got their numbers.

240 went overseas. I imagine Trent, GEX and Automated got their usual big numbers. Divvy up the rest of 260 that stayed in the US between all the other guys, at 10-12 per, and they go fast.

Fastest run I ever saw. Stern announced "sold out" of XMLEs within a couple of days, but you can still find NIB LEs if you look. I haven't ever seen an actual retail sell-out this fast. And I know that at least one of the big distros was very surprised. The prevailing theory was that this would be a down-numbers title b/c of WOZ impending release and the much-anticipated Star Trak LE upcoming.

Nice surprise. Great for pinball.

Quoted from stretch2:

Don't believe everything you hear on this sold out rumor.

Based on what? Who specifically do you know that has LEs left? Anyone?

Gameroomguys.com - two left as of a few minutes ago.

Go.

Quoted from jarjarisgod:

Maybe Stern got cold feet on the multiple LE concept since one usually ends up being much more desirable than the other? (Hulk vs. Blue, BIBLE vs. LTBR, etc.)

Not so much cold feet, as convinced by a group of distros that they needed to stop saddling them with a version that wasn't selling as well.

I fully support this idea. But I think that a Ride the Lightning LE at 250 and a Master of Puppets LE at 250 would have been equally popular.

Quoted from Grindle3:

As of now I do have 4 LEs left. I am also down to 1 final Tron.

Prefontaine79 and AV8 are looking for them. I sent them your info.

The cycle continues... Crossing my fingers for you guys with short term memories that the code is great

When has Lyman ever let you down?

Stern's servers must have died

Is that PR or real though?

Everything is dead. They don't want that to happen.
