According to their website AFM LCD goes on sale in 2 days time! Wonder how quickly it will sell? Not sure how much postage is either?
Quoted from Shapeshifter:So, it might only be a few days to the first 100 AFM displays go on sale. Who is tempted to get one?
Not tempted...consider it done!!! I had this in my game at the Louisville Show, and the Ohio show...and it was really hard (not from a difficult to remove standpoint...but from an I didn't wanna give it back stand point!!!) to remove it to send it back so it could go on to Texas for that show. Now my display is just well "freakin'" ORANGE!!! and I can hardly wait to get the color one again for my game!!!
Is it Friday yet???

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting one. I keep telling myself I shouldn't, but I'll lose that argument with myself.

Good cop? Bad cop?
I often get that.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:I would like more information. Especially warranty info...nothing on website at all re this aspect?
I spotted that too. It's a turn off.
Phoebe, they didn't let you keep it? what up with that?
I suppose that was your agreement in being able to take it around to shows.. but still, they really should have let ya keep the thing considering you lugged the machines around and put wear and tear on them at the shows all day.
Btw, your AFM and SM are the most beautiful ones of each of those I've seen.
Email from them today said sales start tomorrow, and orders will ship Monday. Nothing in the email said anything about warranty.

Yeah that was the way it worked Blake, the one that was in my game was the proto...and at the time they only had 2 the 1 in AFM and the 1 in MM and they just barely got the MM done in time to send to me...and they needed to go back so they could go to the next show. I knew that going in, but it was still real hard to give it back!! At the time they were having problems getting the supplies to get them going into production, but I knew I would get one eventually...simply because after having it in my game, and seeing it in person...I knew there was no way I wouldn't have one when they became available!!!
Thanks for the props on my games!! I appreciate it!!

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:It seems I'm the only one that doesn't care for these. I love the idea but after seeing one in AFM at a show, I thought the colors were way too washed out for my taste.
Bryan (CARGPB 14)
You are not alone. I wanted one UNTIL I saw it in person at the show. I will grab one if they ever make them to where you can re-color your own animations. I heard that's a possibility, so let's hope!
Quoted from TomGWI:RobT said:By the way, isn't this the equivalent of colorizing black and white movies?
Sure. I want those in color too.
Are you Ted Turner?
The colorization of black & white movies is a sin against humanity.

LMAO! I was just kidding. I like B & W movies, 3 stooges, etc.
After seeing the AFM display in color at expo I knew I had to have one. MM will also get the treatment when available.

Thank you!
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:It seems I'm the only one that doesn't care for these.
No, I'm with you on that island.
I LOVED the concept until I found out it was an LCD screen simulating a DMD. I had thought that it was simply a dot matrix display that could do colors. Something to me seems wrong about wholesale replacing the DMD display with something else.
That isn't to say that I don't want others to not change them out. Hell, if you own a pin that takes this, invite me over to play it so I can experience it. It just isn't my cup of tea

What's it matter what the underlying technology is? The result is all that matters.
I'm on the fence. Was in but no where near as excited about this mod now. It's priced right for 2012 launch but about a year too late to market.

Quoted from Riffbear:Out of stock on their site.
How is that possible if it's not supposed to go on sale until tomorrow?
They've probably just set up the interface for ordering and are waiting to flick the switch. I'm sure you'll see stock tomorrow.

It's cool, who cares. I probably wouldn't do this for every game I own, but for AFM and MM, I'm in.

Cool.
I ordered from bay area anyway.
I think they have that on the site right now and it will be removed tomorrow when they officially become for sale...I hope at least
Quoted from markmon:What's it matter what the underlying technology is? The result is all that matters.
To you, perhaps. To me, it's different.
I also own Galaxian and Ms. Pac-Man as their own arcade cabinets with original boardsets. And I have no room. I don't want to put MAME in them. To me, it matters what the underlying technology is. *shrug* That isn't to say you're wrong for liking it, I just don't.
I ordered one from bay area amusements and it didn't show out of stock or anything. Will see what happens.
Looks like they are sold out at Bay?? It is no longer on the website I called to ask questions about if they already had them trying to determine if it would be faster to order directly from color DMD tomorrow and lady was rude and eventually hung up??? WTF
Quoted from RDReynolds:As soon as they have an MB one, I will be first on board.
damn i hope they make one for mB!!!`
Quoted from Drano:They're heeeeere!
Stock is up and running on the site as of midnight.
Buy... ALL OF THEM!!!
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Out of Stock at Bay
Can't you order one through the colordmd site?
Such a shame its an LCD. I was all for it and i do commend the guys efforts, but LCD???? C'mon now....I'm the customer, and i want a REAL COLOUR DOT MATRIX DISPLAY!
I wonder now if someone out there will rip the code that the new colour dmd uses and simply uses it on a cheap lcd to get the same effect?
