Quoted from kell:

Same think happened with GB LE, someone offered me +$2k for my pre-ordered one. Doesn't necessarily mean game is good, or not, some are just late for a NIB one. Prices tend to drop after the initial hype.

The days of LEs selling out are over, there are always LEs knocking about with distributors these days, you could still grab an LE for the mighty JP.

#2852 3 years ago
Quoted from J85M:

jjPotC says "hi."

NIB CEs are over 20k now. USED LEs are selling for 12k-14k, which is at or more than what a new CE sold for last year.

It does happen, but it has always been a rare thing. No way to know ahead of time which LE will "hit" and odds are massively against you if you take that bet since so few actually do.

Quoted from J85M:

If there are any JP LE out there, it's most likely few and far between which means not anyone can just go grab it. TMNT LE are all spoken for here in Canada already. If you haven't put a deposit down on one by now, you're too late.

Would love to know where you can still get a NIB JP LE.

Quoted from J85M:

The days are not over by a long shot... Stern always sells out on LE's as they are purchased by the Distributors immediately. How long the distributors have them on hand will vary based on the title. If your looking for a WWE LE then you have a shot, if your looking for a TMNT LE you are going to need to get lucky and slide into someones spot who has since backed out or you pay a markup for someones position in line.

Quoted from J85M:

I wasn't stating they sell out, just that they become scarce. Which, when combined with demand, drives prices up.

#2857 3 years ago

I was told LEs on line this week. Mine may be shipped end of next week . Grand children excited. Hopefully before the 4th .

There was one on Pinside a couple days ago out east NIB for $9100. This huo one sold today with some nice mods

Talking Stern here Vic.. but yeah there is the odd gem these days but production being halted played into the current JJPOTC market condition.

#2860 3 years ago
Quoted from wipinball:

Obviously they will get rarer as time goes buy people snap them up, speculators keep them boxed for years. Apart from the one that popped up the other week I believe kpg brought a nib le a couple months back at the start of all this madness but it had some damage can’t remember the whole story.

Either way LEs are always out there, I got a NIB TRON LE a couple years ago supposedly they where all long gone and I heard recently another surfaced and sold.

#2861 3 years ago

I don’t know if he actually has any left, but Mike at pinballs.com still has TMNT LE listed. Figured I’d pass it along in case it helps anyone out.

Exactly. Just means the hype is good.

#2863 3 years ago

I got the call that my LE will be in before the end of next week! I’m excited!

#2864 3 years ago

Cow a bunga!

Do these ship direct from stern or to distributors first?

Typically to distributors first.

what a great looking game!

Quoted from delt31:

I love how the turtles look like they are peeking out of the box during the unboxing.

#2871 3 years ago

Just preordered these bad boys from Gamestop for my LE! Cowabunga!

Man even for a pro that playfield is packed. Hard to believe it's being made by Stern Pinball

#2874 3 years ago

It looks SO good, wow. My first pinball machine can't get here soon enough. Just ordered some HD glass, the art blades, and a Stern dust cover.

You forgot a shaker motor and a sound upgrade kit

Where do you order the HD glass from? Just from Stern?

Quoted from BaxterStockman:

Order Invisiglass or Voodoo. Both are better and about the same price.

Pinballs.com has LE available .In stock next week.

call Mike Dadonna

Are LE's really hitting as early as this week? I thought they weren't even hitting the assembly line until this week or next. That would be a killer way to spend the 4th. Maybe I should call my distro to find out.

Correction not this Friday . Next week.
I was told before NEXT Friday.

Pro pretty much strictly for location at this point.

#2881 3 years ago

Hey, if anyone gets their hands on TMNT on location, or in-home, I just hope there's a livestream, cell phone footage or they are in driving distance because there is nothing else on my mind at this point. I am basically useless in anticipation.

Deadflip will be streaming tomorrow, so you're in luck.

#2883 3 years ago

Bodacious! Thanks for the info Waxx !

I think he said he will be getting it on Thursday but won't be streaming it until Friday so as to not step on Marco's Unboxing/Project Pinball stream.

I'm going to stop using this thread now as I replied to you in the club thread.

#2887 3 years ago

Good to hear about the stream however I'm no longer watching any videos as it's close enough and I don't want to be oversaturated but experience as much as I can when I open it. I will definitely be looking for unboxings as I can't get enough of those!

Well the hype has officially been achieved and I'm off to the club thread. Thank you Stern and team for delivering what appears to be a great game. You have my money on this one.
Cheers.

#2888 3 years ago
Quoted from Habermania:

yes, by airplane, for a special live event this friday evening (i will post the stream link later)

#2889 3 years ago
Quoted from Waxx:

It was actually someone else who mentioned the same thing in the other thread, and who you replied to. But yes, there is definitely duplicate information in the two TMNT threads for sure.

#2891 3 years ago

Topper lighting effects added. Wonder how long until they reveal what the topper looks like.

#2892 3 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

Topper lighting effects added

The topper flashes "$800 sucka" in morse code. Teasing, can't wait it see it!

#2893 3 years ago
Quoted from pickleric:

Still waiting to see the Elvira topper and that games was released 9 months ago. They must be smart enough to know that they would sell a lot more of the accessories for a game if they were available when the game is released.

#2894 3 years ago

Game ships with code 1.01 installed !!!!

#2895 3 years ago

Any operator that is passing on one of your pro allotments send me a pm please.

#2896 3 years ago
Quoted from pickleric:

The topper flashes "$800 sucka" in morse code.

Don't be surprised if it's $800. I feel like topper pricing is going through its own version of the previous decade's NIB MSRP inflation. Collectors were reselling boxed LEs for a profit until Stern reached the ceiling. They'll find the limit we're willing to pay for toppers as well.

#2897 3 years ago
Quoted from docquest:

Topper lighting effects added. Wonder how long until they reveal what the topper looks like.

My exact thought as well. Wondered if I had missed the topper reveal somehow. Not hopeful it's much more than the Jurassic Park plexi one, though.

#2899 3 years ago

I can't believe I am saying this, but this game looks amazing and I might want one (Premium, I'm done with LEs) !!!! I never cared for TMNT, but this game looks like it'll keep you busy for a long, long time! Just WOW!
