Quoted from FalconPunch:But I have to say that green trim is as unappealing as mustard 'gold'
AFM looks good in black.
Quoted from jgentry:Games look nice, the green trim is a swing and a miss though. They need to switch that over to a gloss black.
Must concur. Black is the way to go for AFM.
Here's one I prepared earlier.

Quoted from laprocket:I think they would sell like hotcakes if they came in at $6500 for a standard. That price being below the current Stern premium price makes me think its not going to happen.
Yeah, but you guys posting on the price don't get the business model ....
Just hypothetically ...
100 units sold at $8000 = 800,000 less say $5000 per unit cost = $300,000 profit.
To make the same profit at $6500 retail, they'd need to make and sell 200 machines. ($1500 profit x 200 = $300k)
Selling less machines for more profit is what a business dreams of doing.
(The $5000 is an arbitratory figure, I think it would actually be far less than that, but the figures above make my point)

Quoted from MapleSyrup:Sorry if this has been covered. Will AFMr have the upgraded hi-Rez animations that we saw with MMr? To me, that screen was the most compelling reason to consider the remake. I see the wider colour dots, but nothing in the images is suggesting the improved resolution that we saw with MMr. Anybody??
The ones I saw today were just huge dots.
Reminded me of a redemption machine or something.

Quoted from NeilMcRae:I'm in - told my disty - the excellent sir Phil of pinball heaven to get me one
I have MMR it's epic and expect same from AFMR
And it's not a copy - it's as original as the ones they made 20 years ago!
I've never played a remake until today.
The MMR at the show, the flippers were a little weak (and aligned too low)
I guess they have the standard BW flippers assemblies and coils? And they work the same as fliptronics?
The MMR today seemed to feel a bit different to a BW WPC95 machine.
But it may just have been the machine I played. Maybe it's had a trashing. Like I said, I've never played an MMR before.

Quoted from Rarehero:Did you see any of the animation? On MMR, the score dots are the same as original (big dots) and the animation is smaller dots for a higher resolution on the artwork itself.
Yes, I think that's the case.
Look at this animation while Trent was playing. Looks to be smaller dots.

I have also heard from two very credible sources:
Base $6500
Mid $7500
Super LE $8500
If that is the pricing, I think it is pretty good.
Probably nailed it right at the market sweet point.
rd
Quoted from CrazyLevi:One thing I don't like is the strobing of the inserts. They are "off" only slightly to the point where it can be hard to tell if a insert is in fact solid or blinking. Maybe something that can be addressed in code
I would be pretty sure they can sort that out. Voltage needs to be zero to the LED boards when they are off.
Worse case, they'd need to add a resistor to the LED boards.

Quoted from Kiwipinhead:Maybe a few might be coming to NZ then
I'll have a look tomorrow and see if we can easily switch them to 230v.
If so, I can ship you guys a few pins back, no problems.
rd
Quoted from arcademojo:At $6500 even my tight, broke ass might buy one. Would have to let go of a few low dollar games but would be worth it.
Quoted from Whysnow:you still have my number?
Ill be in Pittsburgh in July and currently room to bring home 1 (maybe 2) more.
just sayin...
I'll be in Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks, I'll be happy to take a few of those classic Sterns! 
Just sayin ...

Quoted from TimeBandit:That's $8.5 Aussie. Add the usual $1k shipping premium and it could be around $9600 here for the base. I'm there all day at that price. Bring it. Shit, I'm up to four machines already this year. I was supposed to be having a year off!
Don't forget $400-450 customs charges and your 10% GST tax on top.
So more like $11,500.

I'm on the other side of PA.
I can drive a lot of miles ... I'm used to it 
rd
Quoted from TimeBandit:Damn. If only I had a pinball related business where all my pinball machines were actually R&D assets so that I could negate the GST. Oh, wait!
You'd have to pay back the GST when you sold the game though, eh?
Unless you sold it to "someone" for $1500, say ... minimising the GST amount ...
