Toppers and other "official" accessories are a hot commodity now. I still think LEs should have those extras included. Skip the "real" backglasses. Who cares. Looks the same as a translite when backlit. I'd even say skip the powdercoat. Include the shit like fancy shooters and toppers.

I am a topper guy and understood the way ahead is to buy at retail when you can. NVM waiting to see if it's cool or what ppl think. By that time they are sold out and scalpers will be selling at double the price. Bought my SW topper last year even before I got the game as I knew I'd b having a SW in the house at some point. Wasn't sure if it was going to be NIB or used but didn't matter. Glad I did. NIB SW Prem is ordered and hopefully arriving in the next month or so.

Same with the STh topper. That game isn't popular though so probably not as much of a rush but I ordered & paid for the topper already. What does it do or look like? No idea and doesn't matter. It's an esthetic thing for me. Looks good when all the games in the lineup have toppers. STh looks stupid right now. Incomplete. Even had non-pinheads over yesterday and first thing they said is "ohhh why is this one missing its topper"?

Yes I could afford more games instead of fancy toppers however I am limited to 6 games(which I have) so I can waste my money on accessories if I choose to. And no I am not putting games in the living room or garage. It's a personal choice. I have no issues with a nagging wife/gf since she loves pinball. I don't want games all over the house since it's already cramped from combining 2 households into 1. So toppers and shooters for me!
