It looks like you can add another Transformers model: http://www.amazon.com/Stern-Pinball-9386-Transformers-Table/dp/B009AVLBS0/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1349047379&sr=1-5

What you are saying about people having lots of choice isn't completely accurate. I have heard several distributors complain they don't know what to order anymore, so they stick with 1 type and maybe add add a variant if requested. That doesn't give collectors much choice.

They must be pretty dumb dealers if they cant look up a web page. Even my 12 year old daughter could find the below link/page.
STERN would be sending these dealers lots of sales offers for anything and everything they have ready in boxes surely ?

Sure they know what games are available in what variation. They just don't know which version to order / they can sell. Will the Rolling Stones want the Pro model or the LE? How should they know? They never dealt with Rolling Stones fans before. 4 versions of X-men? They have no clue if they can even sell an LE Wolverine, or to who. That's what is making it difficult. They rather see just 1 model like it used to be for years.
