There have been a lot of posts regarding is it worth it for a TWD LE. I have switched back and forth on this one, so I made this thread to suggest what each feature would cost if you could add it as a mod. You may not want every extra, but here is a breakdown of possible costs (if adding a mod).
Please keep in mind I'm not suggesting this is what it costs Stern to put the feature in the game, but a potential mod price to add the feature with it fully integrated - for example, spinners are cheap but an integrated spinner mod would not be, also the crossbow would be a very expensive (if not impossible) mod for a pro.
IMO these are reasonable estimates...
- Well Walker magnet $100
- Well Walker guts / lighted $50
- Lift Ramp w/ B-Girl Bash Toy $200
- Crossbow toy / fire button $500
- 2 Spinners $100
- Extra Drop Target $100
- Fish Tank - with coordinated lighting $100
- Color Controlled GI $200
- Color Changing Inserts $200
- Cabinet Art upgrade $250
- Classic lockdown bar & support rails $100
- Backglass upgrade $200
- Cabinet Trim $200
- Exlcusivity of LE - signatures, certificate and plaque priceless - not really: $300

Total estimated value $2,600 - plus if you could buy these mods, you would have to install them too.
So adding up everything, and giving a value to the LE exclusivity it's not too bad. Although it still doesn't quite cover the cost difference (given these made up values). Also you usually expect a "bundled" pricing deal when purchasing a whole group of extras, like when buying a special edition car.
I think if Stern would have included the Shaker Motor and optional Topper on the LE, it would have really swayed the tide on the LE value proposition.
