Quoted from JodyG:Considering BM66 SLE owners still do not have their custom callouts 2 years later, when it was a selling feature of the machine...i'd venture anyone who buys another SLE priced machine from them is an absolute fool.
I feel think Stern is overestimating the market for a Beatles machine, as well as how much someone in the non-pinball world is willing to pay for one. They may sell a few SLE or higher priced versions, but I do not think they will sell out. I think this title has a better chance of turning into a WWE part II than it does turning into Iron Maiden or Metallica with respect to sales.
I’m not a SLE owner but I am an LE owner and I’m the first to admit the launch of the game and the first 12 months where a f’in disaster! To the point I could have easily washed my hands of Stern.
But now Lyman has spent the last 12 months pumping out code, I am genuinely a very happy LE owner and the games probably my favourite in my collection.
Lyman single handily saved Sterns plans for the SLE model and their hopes of releasing another SLE, without him Sterns SLE model would be DOA!
