I don't see how stern is moving LE's to Canada this week when they hadnt started making a single one as of Thursday last week. The machine looked beautiful, but there was not one single shred of LE parts pieces or playfields anywhere to be found, aside from the single demo machine.

The first machines off the line typically end up in Australia and Europe if I'm not mistaken as by the time they arrive, North America is ready for a simultaneous unboxing. Until we hear of Australia being shipped theirs I find it hard to believe Canada is getting squat.

Aside from the fact that many of us were told in person less than a week ago that it would be a few weeks before LE's shipped, I still think you are being overly optimistic. Yes, they could start LE production today, and they would maybe have 100 machines ready to ship for Wednesday (based on the 20-50 machines a day number I was told in person - I'm assuming production on a brand new run goes slower than the high of 50) and like I said before, the first areas to get shipments have historically been AUS and EUR because it takes a few weeks for the boats to get there. Then when the North Americans get their machines, AUS and EUR players get theirs as well.

Don't see how in the world this will happen for you, but I hope it does. Can't wait to see this thing fired up and playing - it looked unreal in attract mode.
