Not making the final call until the reveal but if I pull the trigger I haven't landed on LE or CE so I have a questions for those who have owned both. Exclusivity is the least important factor, so removing that, is there anywhere close to $3000 in additional value in a CE over an LE on a JJP? Or is most of the value assigned to the numbers on the plaque? Thanks!

Wonka Bar LE

I also like some of the little details, for example the bonus multiplier count (Wonka Bars) being represented in throwback style by inserts, no need to look at the LCD to see this. The Wonka tower, showing progress spelling WONKA, that could have just been more inserts, but is instead on a 3D feature. And the tiny candy LED clusters, the light show/effects created with these were pretty cool and unique.

I’m in on an LE and for me it’s 100% about the play field completeness. Never say never but I’d never buy a Stern Pro for the same reason. I don’t care about bling or exclusivity, but if I’m going to spend what these things cost I’ve got to have everything under glass. If that means I can afford fewer games, so be it. The ones I can afford will be complete.

One of the JJP guys said on the stream that virtual locks on SE wouldn’t carry over to other players or games. But good question about locked ball count, assuming screen will show the count. Or maybe there’s a light somewhere on SE to indicate # locked.

I backed out of Wonka to get a Pirates. Figured if Pirates was still idling on the line it might be a bit before I saw a Wonka. Now I'm waiting for one of those idling Pirates. Before Wonka I was in on the next run of MMR, but didn't want to wait till July. The universe refuses to ship me a pin.
