I'm just happy that it's helping to destroy the price bubble. Those initial posts by some douchebags saying "I'm quitting the hobby because they are destroying the value of my machines" brought a smile to my face a mile wide.

It's single-handedly bringing prices down. Go check any Craigslist and look at the pins on there. Nothing is selling and people are still clinging to their over-inflated prices. They're trying to sell to have money for their MMR's. When deliveries actually start, look out.

Many kit car remakes are actually better performing the originals. More valuable or as rare? Nope. Better performance and better reliability? Yep.

Not sure if you saw this or not from Lloyd:

"Original BBB's had screened art work, remakes decals. Remakes tube dancer is a little smaller as they didn't have the original molds and copied one.

LTG : )"

So no, they were not exact copies either.

You're not outing yourself as a clown, just as a current MM owner.

They could only get $3000 per unit which is about $5000 today so actually not that far off. Take into account that the HUO market barely existed back then and the market conditions today are arguably better.

Current MM owners have much to gain from the failure of the remake. I don't think it comes from a place of jealousy at all. It comes from being pissed off that your game has lost a significant amount of value. Honestly, I think most people can understand that but at some point it would be nice to read things that are a bit less self-serving.

I just wish current MM owners could actually be happy that more people are going to be able to enjoy the sweet game that they love. Instead they constantly call into question the quality of a game that doesn't even physically exist yet. The anger displayed from non-stop bad mouthing is totally transparent sour grapes. How about the occasional post of "That would be really cool if they can pull this off"? That wont happen because deep down you don't want them to pull it off. You don't want the game to be as good as yours. And that my friend, is a shame.

Broken record. Over and over and over. You REALLY think that this is going to be some slapped together piece of shit? Seriously? Upon delivery of the 1st machine you would have every single buyer pulling out and filing a lawsuit to get their deposits back, costing PPS literally MILLIONS and putting them out of business. You realize that, right? Give us break already with the Vacation America "worries". You are repeating this over and over in an attempt to cast doubt. You have zero vested interest in the remake but to hope that it fails.

Plenty of companies have produced dogshit products in their past. If this was a completely newly designed game, your fake worries might be valid. It isn't and they aren't. They are remaking a game. Did people stop buying Fords after the Pinto?(Sorry Greg) This is a fully licensed machine that has to receive final approval before it ships. It will be as close to the original machine as possible and in some ways better.

I couldn't disagree more. The whole trend that Stern started with their powder coated metal trim looks cheap as hell. It costs them very little and it's a way to justify charging more money. Makes them look like Zizzle machines or something. Totally tacky and cheap looking.

I'll take my metal polished, thank you very much. Especially on a machine such as MM. Swords and armor would never have been powder coated

Hahahaa! Yeah, dude. That's ALL that you have been trying to say all this time. Give us a break.

Also, Viper. CC is the next game that is going to be remade. I got confirmation from someone on the inside. Start gearing up to bash that machine 'cause your CC is about to tank in value as well.

Amen on that.
