That's a little bit lower but, in the end probably better that it's a limited number so it sells out sooner.

I kind of liked on STLE with 799 (iirc) that I could buy a NIB several months after release.

I didn't know you can pay less than MSRP. Looks like I'm putting on my haggling boots on for my next pin.

If the Slimer LE sells out fast, I would not be surprised if Stern came out with another LE or Premium later on like they did with the AC/DC Luci. Wouldn't a Zuul and the Gozer the destructor version be kick ass?

There were 2 AC/DC LE's released. Though the 500 quantity was split between them.

My distributer confirmed all LEs aloted to them have been sold !

Perhaps but there are dozens of distributers left to call ....

Who are you gonna call??

the cheapest price I was quoted for MET LE on the day of release was $7195.00 and it sold out that same day, so I am also curious who was selling them for $6800?

I hear you and it is completely different as collecting sports cards or other collectibles. Like the magical number 8 for asian people who is suppose to bring good luck.

but still, some people acknowledge more value to certain numbers. Just look at the Tron LE numero 400 of 400 on sale at $15000 on another thread.

crazy

A pin show in Italy just announced they will have a Ghostbusters at their show which is a week before TPF.
If Stern can get a machine over seas that fast then TPF should be no problem.

Italian Enada show is March 16-18'th, Expo in Vegas is March 15-17'th, TPF is March 18-20'th. The question is if Stern made enough machines to support all three of these shows simultaneously. I hope they did because it would be great to see and play Rob Zombie, Alien, and Ghostbusters at the show.

where's the pics??

There are still LEs available. I found one this morning.

What? I hope they don't make a "Classic" again. They did this with Iron man and it was a terrible, terrible idea:
-Classic doesn't have the two magnets
-the cabinet is pressboard
-the coin door is just a flat plate
-the PCBs are mounted in the bottom of the cabinet, cabinet art is a little different, inserts are LEDs (other bulbs may be too, I'm not sure). - - It is free play only
-Kicker removed from War Machine.
-Whiplash Toy removed.
-Missing some flasher dome lights

"Classic" refers to it being based on the original "classic" Ghostbusters movie, not the pinball machine type.

Send me some by PM. I haven't seen them yet.

There is not a feature for attaching photos to a PM is there?

Google is your friend

yes Google...I got my GB LE on ordered and confirmed...just don't know what number

Paid in full on my LE Friday bitches. No idea what number as who knows how many they are making.
If a premium is planned, they should reduce the LE numbers, but doubt greedy Gary would do that.
Gut feeling tells me it's gonna be a monster seller.

I just paid 6700 for my game of thrones prem

They are making 500 GB LEs.

Hopefully Stern will release all the info this week.

Not at Starburst! They're the only game in town.

If you want to pay less, buy in the US and import.

Lol.
Bragging about buying an LE before the actual release announcement even, but Stern should reduce the number of LE models, otherwise it's "Greedy Gary".
Hate to burst your bubble, but the universe doesn't actually revolve around you.
Stern is a for-profit company. If you pay in full before the announcement takes place, what message does that send to Stern? That they should make MORE, or FEWER LE models?

Making the trek to the U.S. Will save you some cash, but Starburst seems to be priced just low enough that I don't find that trip to be worthwhile unless you're buying 2 or more pins at once.
If you're paying full msrp at Starburst, you're doing something very, very wrong.

Once preordered pins are officially released and photos are published, buyers typically have 48 hours to change their mind and get a refund. So really, you are just holding a spot in line until you see the release materials.

5 more days.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of you "I got the LE ordered" guys are the same guys that said "I'm never buying another game till it ships with code complete"

Way to show the man.

To funny Dave. Makes me wonder too.

How is that code working out for Kiss? Hopefully the code will be as awesome as the layout for Ghostbusters looks like it will be.

So... The same day hobbit ships! (well apparently)

Or, "I'm not buying an LE unless Lyman is doing the code". One of the guys that says he has a GBLE on order has probably said this at least fifty times in the past couple of years.

I've been looking for release information, is there anything posted anywhere?

Or are people just buying LE's blindly?

Low 6's was the norm. Now mid 6's. Inevitable I guess. Not trying to be a downer. I do hope that we get a lot of game and features with GB for what seems like yet another $100 uptick. Seems like yesterday Premiums were shipping at $6,200. That price to me feels justifiable. But $6,700 - as someone reported paying in this thread - just feels like a gouge. IMO.

Good question. I'm curious too

Feels like economics.

I wasn't bragging, just was excited when I posted. I think the LE model needs to be "limited" and 799 or 800 aren't limited. 500 is limited and I'm happy if that is the number. If there's no Premium, then by all means increase the number so more people can have the fully featured game. That's all I'm sayin.

Had Stern not taken care of the Avengers code, and walking dead code and the radically improved WWE code recently, you're right - I would have waited longer. But IMHO they have proven they will take care of game code and finish their games even if it takes a couple years. The ass-ton of inserts, the handdrawn artwork and fun theme is what sold me on it.

They are doing it sight unseen. Most everyone has seen the pics floating around, but I'm not buying the game based on just that.

If I play the game and love it, I'm probably in for a Pro.

One correction, people are *ordering* blindly but after the pictures drop they should have an opportunity to get a refund on their deposit.

Pre-ordering is like Metallica insurance, if the game sells out immediately you have one on hold.

This is where I am at too. I am tempted to just put money down, but I want to know about the differences first. I really like the 'pro' artwork that's been thrown around, but not sure what to expect on the premium....

I hear ya, I feel the same way. I have an LE spot being held but these crazy NIB prices are really making me think about what I'm getting for $5k-$8k. The pro is likely going to lack the right ramp dropping under the playfield and the interactive ghost feature, maybe even the proton pack gun toys as well. Are those items and powder coated armor worth $3k-$3.5k to me? Not really. With the pro we would still get the incredible art package, sounds like the drop targets in the middle of the playfield will still be there, same ramp shots and captive ball whatever gizmo toy (lol).

I'm sure the premium and LE are going to be amazing but I hope that the pro provides a value feel that Metallica Pro does. Some pros just feel lackluster and not worth the asking price but Stern did the opposite with Metallica Pro. I hope the same thing happens with Ghostbusters.
