Distributors (in the US at least) purchase them on a sliding scale discount already, depending on how many units they buy (the bigger the elephant, the more your buying power).

That's how GAP in the US was able to sell NIB BIBLEs for 6100 and still turn a profit.

LE breakdown prediction -
260 export - say 60-70 to Oceania and the rest Euro with a negligible handful to Stern's emerging markets (Macau, HK et al).

240 US domestic inc Canada. The 800 pound gorilla dealers in the US (Betson) will snaffle up a sizable portion of low numbers (sub #25) and list them on ebay for an inflated price.

I would also expect a couple of NIB LE's to hit ebay AU in the weeks following release for 10,000+.  *%*

All this without seeing a video of it in action or even glancing at a ruleset.

Pinball...ya gotta laugh at the direction it is going.  :lol
