John Wick LE is a Stern Pinball limited edition pinball machine released in the mid-2020s as part of their licensed game lineup. Originally positioned as a collectible with an MSRP around $8,500, the game has experienced significant secondary market depreciation despite initially strong collector demand. The 1,000-unit production run has become a cautionary example of poor market planning and FOMO-driven investments in the pinball community, with early buyers losing $4,000-$5,000 per unit.
