Here's the plan;

Playfield Signed by Gary Stern and possibly someone else
Signed Certificate - GS
Limited Edition Plaque
I'm not into numbering as there will be a big fight
No Playfield Toys - I'm sure you guys can figure it out
Delivery expected week of October 5th
I did not read all of these posts....but if you ordered one game and
want two - you need to make another deposit pre-order.
I will be sending an e mail to all those who already made orders to
let them know what's what.

Ok, so in a nutshell the "plan" is to have a mirrored backglass?
Exactly what is the mark-up for this?  $500 or so?  I usually keep my
big mouth shut, but that is disappointing, to say the least.  A LOTR
"collector's" edition with basically nothing special to collect is,
uh, not so collectible, IMHO.  I love the game (to a point), and I am
solidly in Stern's corner as far as their survival goes, but I gotta
break rank on this one.
The Spider-Man Black special edition machine was done right; mirrored
backglass, shaker motor, chrome package, webbed side rails, alternate
cabinet art.  THAT'S a collecter's edition.
But what do I know.....
Terry.

Agreed- the alternate cabinet art colors would have sealed it for me.
Even doing the cabinet in black and white, shades of gray- would have
been trick. Or instead of a red side and blue side- a gold side and a
silver side. Whatever.

Also- I would want to know that the plastics would be run WITHOUT the
little holes for the mounting of the action figures. I mean, no action
figures- fine. No problem. BUT to then ship it with all these holes
everywhere in the plastics - that would look horrible! And I'm betting
they were just going to reach right in their parts bin and pull out
the old plastics. Someone tell me I'm wrong on this one, Please...
