Quoted from rai:

So the main selling feature of the LE is the sweet side armor (not going to lie that is nice) the side cabinet (Dragon) is also very nice, the premium cabinet art (at least the renders) seem a bit murky, but I guess that's the grey color snowy effect.
But arguably the PF on the premium is nicer, the trans art and the head art (IMO) is better on the premium.
I fail to see how the LE costs another $1000 if just for the side armor that's some expensive side armor. At the very least Stern should throw in a shaker into the LE at no extra cost at least to somehow justify the extra $1000.
IMO
If I were a LE buyer I'd be on the phone instantly to drop down to the better premium. This begs the question who would commit to the LE before the premium was shown, as Stern obviously (clearly) were never selling all 700 units of the LE at least not until the gameplay was shown.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

So mirrored backglass (which apparently is no longer being made using the older better looking process), unique side armor, unique side cabinet artwork and a mini plaque with the games number. I don't see how that is worth another $1500.
For that price Stern should be offering more on the LE, any after market extra's should be included, a shaker motor should be in the game and the LE plaque should be more then a 3 inch x 1 inch tiny piece of metal mounted on the head. The apron of the game could at least have a slick looking larger plaque that makes the game look more impressive. Seriously I have old sports card plaques that ran $10 that look better then Stern's LE plaques, lol.
Stern's LE offerings are being less as of late. Look at Star Trek LE. That game came with laser etched powder coated armor that lit up thanks to built in cabinet lighting that was not only on the outside of the game but the interior and head as well.
Now this is an LE.

Any word on when domestic LEs start production?
