The chances of GB having an LCD is slim to none, IMO.
GB will sell well with or without an LCD, all we do by speculating and claiming which title will have an LCD display is get ourselves worked up, and then disappointed when the next title doesn't have it, and then blame Stern for some reason for something that we took it upon ourselves to assume.

I would think that the first title to have an LCD would be a license/title that would need the little bit of boost in sales.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Embarrassing also that Spooky, JJP, Heighway, DP, Nemo, P3, all have color!
Stern are the ONLY red dots company in the world!

They're also the largest one of those companies, and manufacture WAY more product per year than almost all the others combined. Stern has been able to survive because they have had a manufacturing business model for decades that ensures that they stay in business.

If they started way back when with LCDs/Color DMDs from the get-go, like the other companies, I'm sure it'd be a different story, but the fact is that changes and implementations that would drastically change the build flow flow factory (educating all the employees on how to install the new system, making sure they can get all their ducks in a row as far as new parts needed on such a massive build output, new resources for animating a color display rather than dots which I'm sure is more expensive, etc.)
It's just not that easy to make a big change like that for a company that has a structure established for years. They've had to trickle in advances slowly like SPIKE in order to make way for the new technology. But once they start cranking them out, it'll be ready for the demand and able to get to all their customers quickly and efficiently.

I just enjoy the pins from what they are, and cut Stern slack because they do so much as is that I'm sure if it was as easy as everyone thinks it is to roll out the LCDs, they would have done so by now.

Quoted from kpg:

I don't think anyone has seen this game or has pics of it. I think people in this thread are just trying to get people going and pull their leg. The pics would be on Instagram or some blog site then.. Just my opinion.

...or those that have seen more pics/info and are "in the know" would like to stay "in the know" by not betraying the trust of the person(s) who shared said pics/info by blabbing and sharing it with every yahoo on the Internet.

Info like that isn't stuff you're brought in to with the person sharing expecting you to share with others that aren't in the know, just the way it is.

IMO It's pretty dumb that the translight was leaked, so somebody shared it with somebody, who shared it with somebody else who was desperate enough to post it for everyone to see for attention or site clicks or whatever...pretty bush league move.
