Quoted from maddog14:it is?

This thread will not go well. At some point you will stir up stuff, and then you will say...
Quoted from happilymarried05:Well pinsiders, this has been a blast but alas I am bored with the thread as I actually have some things to do, so please if I don't get back to you for a few days, weeks, years, or never know that you are not forgotten. I just have better things to do bwahahahahah so I officially withdraw myself from the thread with my super duper get out of this free card I got from stern with my latest purchase. ty ty

So can you save all of Pinside the gesticulations of getting from here to there and just go now?
I see an ignored user post so im not sure what that person said 
Anywho Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving
I think the initial lack of appeal was the much maligned artwork, but the flow and the later code improvements really made it into a great game. One of my favorite Sterns.
Star Trek LE rocks! Sure, not everybody has the money for the LE or premium. Although, the pro model is almost as good. It just lets you know how good a game is when it finally sells out and the price starts to go through the roof! Guarantee you the same thing happens when Iron Man vault sells out. Most would put this in the rare category because of the low production numbers. I know I want one!

Huh? Where has the price "gone through the roof?"
I haven't seen any STLE for $10,000+ yet. They made 800 of the things. I think Whysnows buddy bought one for $7000ish recently.

Tdiddy traded his LE for a MMR in the last couple of weeks. Seen them listed and moving lately. Nothing overly special like 10k for one
I'm with Fattdirk. I love mine now (did not at first) that the code is complete and with soundtrack music its just plain FUN.

Lol talk about fluff
Great catch. Hilariously douchey move by OP for making this thread.

Looks like the price was lowered. I saw it listed earlier for 7500 
I want one! I'm in PNW, $5500 for a HUO premium anyone?
Not all of us are has-been rock fans: none of those are appealing to me, and there hasn't been much else released recently. It also has a lot going for it: I like the upper flipper, I like the theme, I like chaining of ramp shots, I like the fast play, I like the laser light and I even like the medals!
Hopefully they make more premiums when star trek 3 is released this coming summer.
Why is the game in demand? Because it is f-ing amazing!!!!

An extra mode created for the 3rd movie would be boost for sales too!
I think in general demand goes up when Stern stops making a particular game (MET premium, ST premium for example or IM every time they complete a run) Maybe they just become harder to find or it's a natural, I want what I can't get kind of thing.
ST was a late bloomer, kind of like TWD and MET. The code took some time to mature, but overall I think people are really happy with it now. As far as STLE goes, I think it's the best example of an LE with all the nice little touches. I think ST pro is a great value, but it's hard to beat the light show on the prem/LE.
Quoted from tk-the-jammer:Anybody have a STLE they're interested in selling. Send me a PM!
We'll talk after Ghostbusters comes out.
I say they should release a Star Trek 3 premium. Keep the playfield the same, but have the cabinet artwork represent the 3rd movie.
That would look great!
It isn't dropping like a stone like some premiums, but I haven't seen it being in great demand either.
"Mr. Burns, your Star Trek LE seems to have the market momentum of a runaway freight train. Why is your game so popular?"
Quoted from Eskaybee:And on a somewhat similar note, i think i finally pin pointed why people either love it or hate it ...
IF ST is ever put on trial in another parallel pinball universe SKB, it would do well to have you represent it. Well said!
I love my ST for its many attributes, but you've succeeded in capturing what its downside is for me. It consistently kicks my ass and I rarely even make it to Kobayashi Maru or complete more than a couple of mode sets. But the ride is exciting and beautiful along the way and when I do occasionaly reach the higher levels, it's that much more glorious!

IMO, the key to being successful in this game is to slow the ball down.

Umm... 800 LEs are <b>NOT</b> low production numbers. Prior to this; 500 was the going rate.

With the word "anywho" being used, I'm out. My experience tells me that anyone using that word is an a-hole Op may be a great guy but that did me in.
Reminds me of this little blast from the past:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/found-a-nice-tmnt-on-ebay
Pinside "Flavor of the Month". They always see a small price spike for a few months. Fun game, but worth less than NIB.

I use it all the time but anywho.....
