Derek you beat me to it. I wanted to express my gratitude towards Rick and everyone at PPS that is involved in making this dream come true. Yes I have been dreaming about owning a MM for many years. I have always been able to afford one, but I was not able to get past the mental threshold of spending over $9000 on one. I tried some creative trades, etc but I have had no luck. I basically gave up on the idea of getting a decent MM below $9000. I thought the re-make would never happen and then it did. I e-mailed Rick the day of the announcement and several days later Rick came through for me. I am going with the LE with gold trim and honestly I am still in a state of astonishment. The MMR LE will be my ultimate grail pin, and I will probably be buried in it-LOL. Through the years I am finding that I am getting more and more anal in regards to condition. Even if I could find a collector quality MM, pricing would reflect condition and kill the deal. The thought of owning a new one is truly a dream come true.
I keep imagining the day of arrival and having a huge MMR LE unboxing celebration. I know that I will get a fantastic product from a reputable company, and the years of enjoyment will be priceless. In closing I would like to thank Rick again for having the passion for pinball and making so many people's dreams come true.

From my family to your family-THANK YOU RICK!!!!!!

With respect Tony, can we try and keep this thread positive and thank Rick for his efforts. Save the speculation for another MM thread, as if there is not enough.

I do not think worshiping is appropriate. Some people wanted to express gratitude towards Rick and PPS for their efforts in the early stages of development. Does Rick and PPS not deserve thanks for bringing this to the development stage? Yes we do not have a finished product yet, but we have someone with a capitalistic American attitude that will bring a classic pinball back from the grave. At the same time employing hardworking Americans in the process. Sounds like the American Dream to me.
