Should be "Chrome Edition". Just a standard pro with chrome/lollypop hardware (no millennium falcon that I see). I almost feel bad for the poor suckers that buy this. Then again, if they have 17k to drop without caring to know what you're buying, more power to Frontgate to sucker people out of their money.
Quoted from TKDalumni:I'm confused...where's the gold??
Exactly - there is no gold. This is ridiculous. I'd like to see if they actually sell any. Anyone that took 30 seconds to do a google search would figure out this is a total ripoff.
"Limited edition of 100" ? I thought at first it was a pro but there is no centre button on the lock down bar. I don't know what this thing is.

I didn’t notice that...no center button. What code could they possibly use excluding that button. I starting to call shenanigans on this one. I’m curious if anyone has called Frontgate and acted like they want to buy this to get the true specs.

Ok, I called them. I asked who the manufacturer was. They told me it was confidential and was specially made for Frontgate, but was made in the USA. Soooo, anyone want to pony up 17K to see why it's 17K? Maybe the whole machine levitates during a certain mode...

I didn't notice that - That is literally crazy. The button does so much in Star Wars. Man I'm so curious now. Someone is getting an unplayable game for over 3x what it should cost.
Too funny - they've renamed it now (without renaming the hyperlink):
STAR WARS PLATINUM EDITION PINBALL MACHINE
I guess someone realized there wasn't any gold on it. The Stern logo can clearly be seen but I still don't get how it doesn't have a button on the lockdown bar.
I heard you have to send them a video that shows why you are worthy enough to purchase one of these extremely limited platinum games.
Well snap, looks like all 100 are sold:
"New
We apologize, but this item is no longer available."
Good news though, they are still offering a refurbished NBA for 7,000 
Edit #3 - omg, they are killing me here. A Guns and Roses for 27k (autographed)

They actually have a ton of refurbished pins available for 8 - 9k.
$50,000!?!?

I'm pretty sure whoever is involved is somebody here on Pinside hiding in the shadows. They saw how you guys were tearing it apart and decided they weren't fooling anybody...with Star Wars, at least.

Can any person just sell on frontgate?
I inquired about the pin. This is their response.

You guys have missed once crucial element....the company provides a warranty...a real one year no questions warranty...given recent quality issues at sterns, the selling price makes more sense.

Will they replace my lock down bar when I bash a hole in it trying to kill tie fighters?

I wouldn't buy a damn thing from a company whose customer relations people can't spell or punctuate properly.
