Quoted from Joeymonkey:

Recently, we moved from an apartment in NYC with no room for pins to a house which has room for about three games. Maybe four, if I squeeze.

So, you will likely have 5 games 6 months from now.
It’s amazing what you can rationalize when you really like something.

Full disclosure, I have Stranger Things Premium and GNR LE on order. I’ve played GNR on two occasions at my distributor’s showroom. Both are great. Get both. You have GNR on order, no reason to cancel, it’s quite an experience. If your going all LE’s you hint that cost may not be an issue. As a less “popular” game, Stranger Things is currently going for a better deal these days. That could be an incentive for you. If you buy NIB LE, you will probably pay full price (nothing wrong with that).

Here se my short take on ST. I’m not a skilled player, but I collect and really enjoy the games. I’m kind of a “bang the ball around and occasionally have moderately good score” player.
1. It has a fan layout with a fun toy (Demogorgon) in the middle on top of a fun feature (projector).
2. It has the 90s style labeled inserts that show your progressions.
3. The UV kit is a great add-on that doesn’t get old.
4. Music from the show is really iconic and makes great theme integration.

Best of luck!
