Stern : Star Wars Fall of the Empire

The opposite site to the cluster of three 'asteroid' pops
Honestly, I can't think of anything *less* exciting than a Stern Star Wars pin designed by John Borg. You may as well *insert placeholder here*.

Looks like its just the LEs that are not being allocated outside the US, although how you can call 770 Limited I dont know.
I would guess its down to international Licensing costs for something on the LE artwork and they dont want to pay out if its going to cost them more than its worth for the numbers of LEs hitting the rest of the world.
LE's dont seem to sell out in the UK at the speed they used to, so is LE demand dropping?

LEs are really poor value for money. About £4500 more than a Premium, with <£1000 of extras.
Disney must be fleecing them for the Licensing costs.
Yeah and then Stern go and release other LEs that aren't LEs like anniversary models, remasters etc.
I honestly don't understand people who buy Stern LEs nowadays. Even if the extra cash means nothing to you, it's like rewarding a dog for biting you. I couldn't do it on principle alone.
Probably cheaper to self import and work out how to convert to UK Voltage/Region than paying the electrocoin tax anyway.
Not sure, I think Spike 1 and 2 have been able to be converted via software methods instead of a hardware mod, but could be a risky bet until Spike 3 has landed in the UK and someones had a peak at the software.
Not sure if you will be able to just buy/source a 50Hz Spike 3 CPU/MPU board once a Spike3 game is distributed to the UK and attempt to load the game OS on.
Either that or get a large battery and an DC to AC inverter that will output 110v/120v 60Hz until a solution is found.

Apparently its not available over here due to no CE approval on Spike 3 how true that is im not sure

This is very disappointing if it's accurate. I was looking forward to this one.
The quote in the Kaneda post hints its down to licensing, but could be an excuse I suppose, and also says they hope their future releases will be global.
Plus disney need to find a way to scrape back some of that $4Billion they paid Lucasfilm for the rights.

That’s going to change to when you register it online if it’s not in the correct region it’s not going to work so as soon as you connect on line if it’s imported it’s a none starter
you could get round that with a vpn.
Yes
I'm not interested in SW if not originally trilogy but this doesn't bode well for forthcoming titles. Glad l got KONG!
Just one more reason not to connect pinball machines to the internet.
