Well we know for a fact what people like Automated do with a portion of their allotment....they sit on em, wait until everybody sells out and then jack up the prices....I'm sure there is some of that going on....and I don't see them cutting the overseas allotment, take a look at the Metallica tour dates, a few here and mostly there...

Wait until Star Trek rolls out, the Le's will be sold through to collectors before its announced...

And I don't see why its so surprising after AC/DC le's......I'm sure some people are trying to buy several in hopes to flip for a nice profit...more power to those guys!

Quoted from mnpinball:

Just doing quick figures. All numbers are rounded to make it easy but you get the point.
500 LE at $7k is $3.5 Million

Gravy money after the first $1M. As Gary always states it takes $1M to design and build a game.

Not really "gravy" because the 500 units have a COGS on top of the design/build cost....there is no doubt that they are ringing the register for those Le's with very little difference from the Premiums.....

And you could come close to figuring out margins with the sales price of the pro and then figure out the incremental costs of the upgrades...

They are cashing in no doubt, more power to em!

Wait until Star Trek hits, just like the Fed, they will be printing $$$ and then we'll see where it all goes from there...

Plus you have the flipper/collector buying multiple Le's to sell a few later to pay for the entire pin...betting on the AC/DC success....

Heck, I've already pre-ordered 5 Star Trek Le's

Quoted from Mando:

I couldn't pull the trigger @7600 almost did may regret it.

Why? when you can have a premium for a lot less that plays exactly the same....you won't regret it.....unless you wanted it just to its going to be 10k by xmas!
