Quoted from rommy:I had no choice but to pay in full through JJP at the deadline. He demanded payment. Then...coin mech gate hit. I am pretty sure I could get out of it regardless of what any distributor says, but I bought the ticket I am taking the ride. (credit to HST)
I'm on the same boat.

Quoted from Fuse:are plastic protectors a good idea for huo? I understand some games are worse than others.
I'll be designing/machining my own, once my machine arrives.
Quoted from Chippewa-Pin:I would like to know if I can pick up my pin at Stern during Expo week if it's built by then.
Aren't the games being shipped out of Chicago Gaming instead of Stern?
Quoted from MrBally:As long as you don't mind paying Illinois state and perhaps Cook COuNty tax, which mght exceed shipping cost by a few bucks, then yes, you might be able to work something out. Call PPS or whoever you bought it from and ask to arrange pickup.
I was told by JJP that I wouldn't have to pay any tax if I were to pick it up in person...being a non-Illinois resident.
I guess I could have been told wrong though.
Are we back to the coin-mechs again?
I'm over it.
Already have 2 shiny new ones to go in my MMR
Go PPS......GO

Quoted from viper001:First off, the big general information thread was closed months ago when Rick himself begged the moderators to close it. There is an official MMr discussion thread which has an extended set of rules that everyone must agree to, essentially disallowing anything that would fall out of the category of cheerleader or fanboy speak to occur. There are MMr discussion forums on Rick's web site but clearly nothing but the aforementioned fanboy speak is going to be allowed there.
If you really read what folks are saying in this thread what is being labeled as "negative" or "hate" is simply folks that are seeking proof of what has been said about this new product. If not blindly believing everything a salesperson tells us about his upcoming product really makes us trolls then so be it but I think there have been some good revelations in this thread about this new game. Most recently that we have finally hashed out that it won't use Fliptronics to drive the flippers, but in fact we don't know yet if the new system will be better or worse than the old. This should be important information that everyone should be aware of, anyone wanting to squelch such knowledge would seem to be the true trolls in this debate.
Well said.

Quoted from viper001:is being restricted to only buyers in the near future.
That sounds like a strange thing to do.
By doing that, they'd be shutting out potential customers by not allowing them access to updates.
Quoted from Pimp77:That's for Wayno's remake, not PPS. It's the "split" in each ramp to direct the ball to the flipper instead of SDTM. The PPS remakes will have these.
Thanks for clearing that up
Quoted from MrBally:Why doesn't Rick /Chicago Gaming just install the blank doors like CG did with Vacation America?
Don't give him any ideas.

Quoted from jalpert:Per Rick. Someone is in the process of colorizing MM for MMR. It IS going to happen. No date, no price, no other details.
Not that I would expect details on something so trivial, I'm sure everyone is more worried about getting the game out.
+1
Can't wait to play my MMr

Quoted from HOOKED:Anyone else get an email yesterday from JJP?
I haven't heard from JJP.
I've been paid in full since July 4th.
I chose black trim. Maybe that's why I haven't heard anything.
I'm kind of glad to not be in the 1st batch.
Knowing that Stern knows how to crank machines out on the assembly line, I look forward to hearing about the pin from everyone that's ahead of me.
Besides, I don't want may machine showing up on seriously cold day.
Quoted from jfh:It is a little surprising to see no pictures from the line yet - I am someone surprised by the tone deafness of CGs apparent lack attention to the hundreds of customers waiting for tangible evidence of production being under way after do many false starts.
I'm happy w/ what updates we've seen.
I know they're going to be made.
Why do you always have to be so "doom and gloom" when it comes to the MMr?
I can't figure that out?
Quoted from foxtj24:What does the collector plaque on the apron look like? I already ordered the Pingraffix apron, I thought the plaque would be on the cabinet.
same here
This topic is so much better after I put 1 individual on ignore.
I just got tired of his tireless rants...get a freakin' life dude.
Is (user on ignore) still ranting about PPS?
Oh, of course he is...He has nothing better to do with his time.
Quoted from pezpunk:i'm order 1086, but Black. Haven't heard anything yet from JJP, so I sorta assume I'm not in the first batch.
I'm right in front of you pezpunk...order #1184.....black trim as well.
Quoted from pezpunk:actually, you're 98 behind ... 1086, not 1186.
and i just heard back from JJP ... I am apparently in the current run!!
oops...I guess you're right....doh!
Congrats pezpunk.
I guess I'll still have a little while to wait.
^^^^
I agree.
And besides, everyone knows that Stern can build pinball machines pretty fast.
I figure, what's a few more weeks of waiting when I've already waited this long?
Quoted from pezpunk:and trust me i will be climaxing in full when my MMRLE arrives
TMI
Quoted from oktobernv:My dealer emailed me last night.
Is requesting "final payment" now
Says my machine will be shipping "within the next 3 weeks"
There is light....
I wish JJP would contact me soon.
I've been paid in full since july 3rd.
So much for believing Jack when he says first to pay, first to play.
I'll never fall for that again...no more payments to JJP up front....EVER.

Still waiting on my call from JJP that my machine is ready to ship.
(have a hunch, I'll be waiting a LONG time).
That's great news John...
Here's to hoping stern/Rick can get them all cranked out pretty quick.
Hopefully it won't be too long before I get "the call".

It is SO cool to see these finally arriving.
Can't wait to get "the call" that my (paid in full) MMr is ready to ship.
It's nice knowing a printed manual is included w/ the machine.

Quoted from cleland:My distributor contacted me today to verify that my color trim choice was black.
My distributor contacted me as well to confirm my choice of trim color.
Quoted from Aurich:From talking to people I suspect that the price would have be closer to $4k for titles like that to actually work.
I'd consider a new EBD at that price. I'm guessing they can make it work using a Beaglebone Black.....( know nothing about that platform).
