Quoted from CraZ4Pin:I actually do not understand this strategy at all. I think it hurts sales to not better differentiate the LE from a standard. Invisiglass and shaker can easily be added to a standard. Powdercoating could be too, but it's not as easily added and the quality is hard to match. So powdercoating is really the only differentiator on the LE?? That's crazy IMO. People want something really unique on an LE to make it worth paying that little extra and collecting ... different cabinet artwork, a topper, additional toy figures (that does not change game play), etc. Why would anyone rush to throw money at this game?
Why rush to throw money at the game? To lock in the price and potentially get a much better value.
If you don't mind tying up the money, there isn't much of a downside since you can get a refund if you don't think the final game is worth it.
Worked great for WOZLE at $6500.
HobbitLE isn't as enticing at $7500 but we'll just have to wait and see what the final game and pricing looks like.
