Quoted from Furio:

I spoke with Joe about why it was removed. It seems like the best answer is to provide better reliabilty in the game as a whole. While your personal game may not have had an issue, the likelyhood of it having an issue is likely very high. I would guess that almost all location games have developed issues with high play volume. Those issues most commonly being magnetization of the balls. That is not the type of reliabilty that a company wants to manage. The type of people that spend 11-13k on a game like this don’t expect low reliabilty in their products. I do think that it was a bit of a cross up though as you wouldn’t expect a 11.5k version to be on location and have high play volume while a HUO shouldn’t have an issue with a monkey mech. That is personally why I will buy a ECLE or RR at some point. I would have bought the YBR had the monkey been there, as that was the one toy I had talked about with family as being amazing in bringing the theme of the movie to life.
The RADCals, glitter play field, new translite, and apron add in the other pricing, small production run. 6500$ is not a number anyone should reference from the ECLE.you should mark it from the RR pricing model only. That’s a fair comparison. $6500 is effectively the Kickstarter price, so stop trolling the boards. I think the worst statement that was made in the reveal was leaving the series open from 200 to 500. To collectors that like rarity that is a curse. It would have been better to have another minor print run in another color later on than have this be open ended.

Plenty of games have magnets though, Tom, TAF, IM etc. I can't see magnetization being a huge issue.
