I want a Sopranos. I would buy one NIB for sure. Also Tron with the ramps. Monopoly with finished rules. Spiderman is just not my favorite, so meh on that one. If Stern was ever set up to do it a la carte, I would probably try out 24 and CSI as well NIB. I mean if they have PPS library as well...it might be fun to go through the WMS years, year by year from 1991. I know that's a stretch but with technology marching on and 3d printing who knows what they could accomplish 
Quoted from goatdan:Right. Avatar owners were really not happy when the LE was announced months later, and many people said they would wait until all models were announced to buy.
Today, some models are announced with an unlimited number of premiums with the same features. Others aren't. If they just start having new trim models appear, it will erode some serious buying from people initially.
How many people do you think would have ordered either Xmen or Transformers knowing what happened to the resale market if they also had no chance of the games appreciating in value? I know I'd never think about buying angle again.
I bought XM LE with no chance of appreciation , or at least that is what I thought. The issue was being able to get one in my case.
IMHO, which is all it is, Tron LE would not suffer if a Tron premium were offered. Personally, I would still rather have the one with the numbered plaque limited to 250. But until such time as I can get one of those, the premium would fill the gap.
Quoted from flynnibus:Because the games were produced and purchased with a different set of expectations of rarity of features
Changing that by undercutting that LATER erodes future buying confidence. People would be less willing to pay more for uniqueness when that uniqueness is questionable. This is what happened when stern first did tiering yet was not up front with what editions would be made for a title. People got burned the first time around...
Stop thinking about labels and look at what the games offered vs the editions offered.
Unless they ran more with numbered plaques and increased the actual LE production I don't think the uniqueness is in question. Tron LE is iconic to pinheads. It will always represent an interesting moment and I don't think the premium detracts from that. Tron LE holds it's over 10k valuation until the real crash, that is my speculation regardless of a premium should Stern go that way.
I got in 2/2012 , so could not buy ACDC LE at preorder prices but did get in on XM LE and ACDC premium, just for reference. Can't sell XM ever as it was my first NIB Stern. Has to stay forever just due to that.
