Now that we know for sure that MMr will not be at Pinfest in Allentown, let our voices be heard! I'm disappointed not having the same opportunity that other buyers had before the deposits will be withheld. I was really hoping to play it a few times to see what I'm getting into as others have had. Seeing a game online in pictures and videos is one thing, but felling, holding and seeing it in person brings that inner child out that we all fell when getting a new pin. There are many disappointed MMR buyers that will be there. I am one of them. I hope PPS reconsiders their decision not to come.

Call Rick and see if something can be worked out.

No company is big enough to cover every show. But if there is help available, maybe something can be worked out ?

In 2010 with Andrew Barney's help I got a Big Buck Hunter from Stern at Chicago to Midwest Gaming Classic and back.

Maybe it can be done, maybe not. But if you talk to Rick, you may find out what is needed to make it happen.

Clearly if MMR does not show up in Allentown it will make the original MM more valuable. Then the landslide starts. All the true collectors will gloat about how superior the original is because Rick was afraid of the scrutiny of the Allentown crowd. Refake orders will be cancelled by the thousands. Rick will be forced to drop the price on the Refake. Next there will be a great awakening. All the classic machines that have Refake back-glasses and light shields and play-fields will drop in value and original machines will skyrocket. Deep divisions will form and riots will break out to fight the tyranny of Refake parts. The true collectors will move first by smashing and braking the Refake vendors inventory to prevent any further contamination of their pristine games. Suddenly the once prized and restored classics will drop in value. In fact the poor smucks that used Refake parts will realize its not worth the cost of gas to take their junk home. So they fight back by burning the original games while those Collectors are busy congratulating themselves for getting rid of the vermin that tried to contaminate the breed. Allentown now in ruins. It spreads like a virus from there.

All this could have been prevented if only Rick would have had the courage to defeat the skeptics in Allentown by sending the MMR prototypes to the show.

Oh well... I just have to hope someone brings a Raven to play instead.

I specifically was going to Allentown to see Predator and MMR

I was on the list of MMR LE, got off but got back on as I am really on the fence, but I was planning to see one in person to help me decide.

I am flabbergasted by them not attending Pinfest.

I'm disappointed too. Will have to figure out where I can play it before fully committing. The reviews from those who have seen/played sound great, but still want to play it myself first.

I was holding onto a large portion of my money in the chance that if I don't find anything at the show, I would kick in a pre-order assuming I'de be impressed by the demo at A-Town. I'm still undecided... I can only get 1 MMr or maybe 2 other machines, RBION, WH2O is starting to warm up to me too... What annoys me is that I can only spend my money once!

I live in So Cal, one of the most populated areas in the country, and there is also no where close by that I can see one of these machines or even attend a pinball show. But I'm not complaining. I make do with whatever cards I am dealt.

Which part?
The fact that O-din lives in So Cal?
The fact it is overpopulated?
The fact there are no local shows to attend?
The fact he is not complaining?
The fact he like card game references?
Or something about MMr?

Aren't there already enough pinball companies that focus more time on "epic marketing" than "manufacturing"?

yeah!!! and what a cheesy name for a city... "Allentown"... barf-o-la...
would be much better if it were called "Bretttown". With 3 tees of course

if someone renamed it Bretttown, i'd figure out a way to get an MMR there for ya.
