Does anyone think that the production number of KISS LE was amazingly "far too small" IF the LE numbers sold completely out in Australia (and probably EVERY country worldwide) in only a matter of days of the official announcement ?
I expected exactly that would probably happen but since this title was last created back in 1978, some 37 years ago, I think the financial board of Stern should have released double the LE numbers or triple the numbers, and they still would have SOLD.
I will give you an example, let's say you are a Stern collector, have multiple BNIB purchases under your belt, you are a KISS fan and you were looking forward to this pinball, given it was a rumour only (for a very long time that Stern would produce it) but only made official with NO warning at all, and then it was SOLD OUT before you could scratch Ya bum, some collectors are going to be pissed off (probably 600 happy LE buyers but probably equal that or more) people who feel they have missed out ! (I am not one cause I like the Pro models and sometimes the Premium etc).
QUESTION ?
Who wants to speculate that Stern might encounter a massive amount of pressure to do another Limited LE run to keep KISS Army or the band or Stern LE buyers who missed out, happy ?
OR
Will it just be tough luck and buy a Premium or a Pro ?
And then, how many people hold off buying the Prem or Pro hoping for another LE run or will it just not happen (and if it did, it would be a good 12 or 24 months down the track IF at all) ?
I was just thinking how happy Nino is that he scored a LE (but just for arguments sake) imagine IF u missed out on the LE you have been waiting 37 years for since 1978, how pissed would you be as a huge Kiss fan and pinball fan....
Is making more LE models of Kiss a good thing or a bad thing given a lot of people missed out and the window of opportunity opened and closed within only a few days......
Either way, been looking at the photos again, I like the cabinet art heaps but am unsure yet of the translite/backglass art. Seems very close to the 1978 machine (good or bad thing ?) ....Won't stop me buying, but makes me want to see the machine in person even more. I think the Stern guys worldwide are going to have worn out carpet from so many people going in to see these models in person).
What are other forums saying about the LE numbers being so small and about those who missed out ? (I don't read the other forums, I like the layout of this forum SO much better).
News on the Pinny seems to have slowed right down on here ?
