Jaws LE is a Limited Edition pinball machine released by Stern in the mid-2020s, based on the classic Jaws franchise. It launched at a $13,000 MSRP but faced significant market challenges due to Stern's simultaneous release of the Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition with an upgraded playfield, which industry observers criticized as a strategy that devalued the LE version. The machine experienced price depreciation on the secondary market and struggled to retain value compared to its original MSRP, establishing itself as a cautionary example of market saturation and product cannibalization in the premium pinball segment.
