Your not that old Pete.
Looking forward to your usual very cool time lapse unboxings videos I have come to enjoy watching.
Great fun watching the Gorgar Man setting up a BNIB !

I sooooooo knew you would change your mind Mr Gorgar.  When I said yesterday that "you will tell me tomorrow that you have reserved an LE" I was going to put a case of Crownies on it only it was too hard to type it all in the car.

Well done. 

Now, I need to do some research and find the name of a famous acrobat, someone who was a master of the 'backflip' to name you after.

Well I was going to order a premium due to color scheme but thought **** it I'll go the LE  after all there my favourite band. I know Adam and Blair I'm always changing my mind lol
This will sit nice next to my back in black oh and I have there concert in October what a year  $#$

LE all the way for this title, Pete. Great to hear !

apparently on the new spike system songs can't be changed YET.

I'm sure in the future they can be changed, but the only song we have heard is "Detroit Rock City" on the videos - and that's a re recording. Like the rest of the r recordings, it sounds flat and has no soul.

If they are using the original members for the art, then they should use the original recordings. Maybe they did.

Here comes the stick! Haha good job, Pete. You couldn't have an AC/DC LE and not a KISS LE. With low numbers in Australia, it will surely be a.....Collectible....and something you can play the sh1t out of as well. How's that for justification?

Cheers!
Adam.

Well done Pete, Great Choice, I prefer the LE cab art, No biggy for the signed signature stuff, I'm 50/50 on this I will hedge my decision when they land & take it from there, Swayed towards a LE but a Prem would fit nicely  ()

and if you want to replace the standard black stern plastic shooter rod with a metal, possibly chromed KISS version head to the Kiss Mods thread

Sorry to inform you Nino but I just bought your LE (only kidding, don't start shooting).  ^&(
If Nino was to miss out on this Grail pin, Gary Stern would have to join the witness protection program and work undercover at JJP where no one would ever expect to see him)

Dam, LE models sold out already.
Looks like my initial thinking on a Pro will have to suffice.

Perhaps someone or a few LE models will become available a bit later if someone changes their mind etc.

Does anyone think with a title like KISS they could have made an extra 200 LE ?
They still would have SOLD out and they still have the Premium model and Pro to keep the production line busy for ages.
I am waiting to see how many LE models the band actually gets allocated for themselves and family and friends....
How many Stern staff have put their hand up for one....

Has Stern announced how many LEs will be made?

I wonder if they may be holding off announcing the number of LEs until they test the market.  Presuming LEs are selling out in the USA, as fast as they did in Australia, we might see LEs quantities of greater than 500 for this release.

Regarding the cabinet art on the LE, the "metallic foil" for the LE cabinet sounds like what was used on the Mustang LE cabinet.

The Mustang LE finish looks great.  It's a finish that you can't capture in a photo.  So if it is also being used on KISS LE, those who purchased a KISS LE that have not seen a Mustang LE will be pleasantly surprised when they see their KISS LE.
