Quoted from bemmett:
What exactly gives any of the LEs value? They add the same few things on all games(invisiglass, speakers, shakers, numbered plaque, etc) and only real difference is the art and the trim color from game to game, is that really what justifies spending and extra $1.5K among different titles?
The only two Stern LEs I thought actually provided any “value” were Star Trek (backglass and cabinet trim and rails) and Batman 66 (art and topper). Batman 66 LEs were actually limited at 240. I don’t consider 500, 600 or 799 “limited”.
IMO the only draw to Stern LEs these days is if you like the art package significantly more than that of the Premium. I’m really looking forward to Elvira 3 and I’m on the list for an LE, but I doubt there will be anything that will make the LE a must-have, just like there is nothing on JP2LE that would even have me consider one.
Unfortunately Stern LEs are kind of a sucker bet these days as they tend to be sold out before anyone can play any version of the game with many distributors having non-refundable policies that make an informed decision almost impossible.
