Pins are no longer limited and the market is definitely saturated so it is foolish to preorder IMO. WoZ is a great example. No benefit whatsoever to preording it. Now you can get them for basically the same money and didn't have to wait 2-3 years. Plus most of the bugs worked out. Of course I was telling everyone that 2 years ago...

MMR will be the same way. The smart thing to do will be to wait. Play it and if you really want it buy an HUO and save a grand.

If someone actually makes a LIMITED pin in the future (200-300 max) then preordering is fine otherwise wait.

A lot of people preordered for $7500 and that is what you can buy them at today. And I see prices coming down even more as they continue to get delivered and as more new pins become available to spend your money on. If you preordered at $6500 you're doing okay but waiting 2-3 years still not worth the grand in savings IMO. Especially when many had to deal with the headaches and issues associated with WoZ...

I think that happened to a lot of buyers. They psychologically were drawn into this thinking "Wow, I can buy a new MM for $8000." After further review I think a lot of buyers now understand this is not actually a MM or at least the $15000 MM we've become accustomed to. And knowing they are making plenty they can be had anytime now or later... just too many ways to spend your money now instead of tying it up on an unknown product.

Just wait until the $7000 balance is due...

So why not bypass on the banged up routed ones and buy nicer or restored? NIB has plenty of headaches as well.
