After looking at the WWE pin I can't honestly see how there is a price difference from the pro?
Stern gets the trim and legs etc. In bulk. Would it cost them more than a few cents more to get them in gold. If any more at all?
An extra flipper. My star trek has 3. Why does this pro have 2, and the LE 3?
That flipper costs them nothing.
A spinning disc? What $40 more if it was retail. So stern pays what $5-10.
5"Lcd screen. $25 each from China.
Rgb led boards. Now mass produced. A few screws to install under the playfield and a plug.
It would take more labour to install each plastic socket and single led bulb, and cost more money to use the old method.
Biggest difference- mirrored backglass.still machines had them for years. Its old technology. It can't cost that much to do an LE # run.
Cabinet art. Printed decals. Same cost.
Platfield art. Just swap a few images. Same cost.
New boardset. Cheaper to produce, less wires, less labor.
There is only a very minimal cost difference in the LE than a pro. If any.
Other games have more features.
TWD- extra magnet. Lifting ramp, powdercoat. And rgb leds.
Still no real extra cost.
Sterns LE model is a joke.
I am no longer a Stern customer. But I hope others don't buy into the LE hype its B.S.
