Can the OP change the topic title to "Hobbit" or "When people with money get bored and run out of things to complain about"?

Back to MB. And back to being a civilized adults.

Maybe it's time that some of you do a gratification exercise and realize how damn fortunate you are to even be in this thread discussing a machine that 98% of people couldn't even fathom owning.

What game is thinner... TOM or MB?

What game is easier to get through, and what game has less to see?

I had TOM for a bit less than year, and got to Grande Finale pretty frequently. I absolutely love the flow of TOM, along with it's music, theme, and all the magic tricks, but I never found playing the modes interesting, and I thought that the multiball was a bit pointless since you could not really use it to advance any goals.

What is it that MM/AFM have that MB lacks?

So you'd say it is easier and has less to offer than MB?

What would you rate the difficulty of reaching (not completing) the wizard modes on MM, AFM, and MB out of 10 (10 being Valinor, and 50 being SDMEWM).

I seem to beat my AFMR (factory settings) every 75-100 games.

Wondering if maybe MB is going to get repetitive?

Are the lights on the classic still surface mounted SMD?

And does the upgraded chip change the classic dots to colour, or does it upgrade to the new redrawn graphics?

I wonder how the new graphics will look on the small display.

Anyone know pricing on colour chip?

Yes, but MMR are not as redrawn as MBr. They were aslight upgrade, where MBr looks like a total overhaul.

I'm sure it will look great. Excited to see more on the CE model.

Cool. I'm excited to see the MBr display in person.

I get that, but my point was more creative changes went into MBr. For instance, the characters are drawn more realistically compared to the juxtaposition in MMR.
