"Everyone who bought that game for $20,000 or $25,000, Stern has now released a nicer version of the game. So they burned every single person who bought those 40th anniversaries of Elvira."

Elvira 40th Anniversary was overpriced and Stern burned customers by releasing a better version cheaper

"There's hardly anything different in the signature edition over the LE. All you really get that's different is a signed baseball card, a little piece of a couch, and you get the sparkled armor, and you get the metallic chrome foil decals on the side with the same art package as the LE, same translite as the LE. Almost everything is the same as the LE. Very, very minor differences. And yet it's 5,000 more."

Stern signature editions are overpriced with minimal additions - Elvira signature has almost nothing different from LE for $5,000 more
