I'm still confused by the comment that a certain number of MMRs are being built but they have distributor orders which far exceed this. I put a recent deposit down and was told by my distributor I'd have the game this year. Do distributors know the supply isn't equal to the orders? Or is it that many distributors hold extra inventory?

Quoted from RobF:

Looks like the new MMR builds are coming off the line. I just received notice from CT that mine will be ready to ship out on Monday.

That's odd because CGC said production started in September (no?)

#1085 6 years ago
Quoted from RobF:

Correct. I wasn't expecting to hear anything for 3-4 weeks. Maybe they are ahead of schedule? Hopefully it isn't a previous run leftover. I should know what the story is on Monday.

Appreciate any follow up you can provide! I would guess leftovers based on CGCs previous post and my distributors comments as well.

#1086 6 years ago
Quoted from Backyardace:

Will pricing change at all on the MMR being made in house by Chicago Gaming? I'm curious since for the same price as a MMR standard you can get an AFM LE with a topper and larger screen. I would prefer a MMR but at the same price as a AFM LE, AFM LE is a better value.

They are selling out at existing prices and can't make them quickly enough. I think a price drop is unlikely.

Thanks for following up Rob!

Quoted from sandersj:

So just as a follow up on the "will the kids notice the new LE box" experiment.... my son finally noticed the LE box in the basement after a few weeks, asked what it was, I told him, he says "oh", and turns around and walks off. I guess this happens when kids grow up with a basement arcade. I still need room to unpack it and unfortunately the gentleman I'm selling some basement games to had some hurricane Harvey issues (house in Rockport, TX) so I told him to just take care of his business and no rush on picking up the games. May be a while before I get to unpack it.

Your restraint is amazing. I'd be packing my old games up to get the new one out of the box! If only to make sure it works!

My MMr arrived today!

#1209 6 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

Congrats I love this pin!

Thanks I know you just got one too (we are only about 40 minutes away from each other!)

Did you put cliffy or other protectors on yet? My cliffys arrive tomorrow.

#1218 6 years ago
Quoted from YZRider926:

Doug, will this be the last run of MMR? The 500 total, not just this batch or the next. Thanks.

I noticed my play field was 1,7xx out of 2000. If I remember correctly. Of course that could just refer to a run of play fields... I have to assume if they keep selling they will keep making them as long as the license doesn't end.

Quoted from abagwell:

I'm down the street from Hemisphere Amusements, they said production is supposed to kick backup on 11/13 and they should start receiving shipments soon after that.

I have to say that Hemisphere Amusements are a wonderful group of guys to deal with. I bought my Ghostbusters and MMr from them.

Quoted from CosmoJoe:

Good evening Doug! Just a quick question about MMr; do you see CGC doing subsequent runs down the road if the demand is there?

This question has been answered already (by PPS for sure and also CGC I believe). If the demand remains they will make more runs.

Quoted from JJHLH:

I spoke with Doug extensively at TPF. As others have said he’s a class act. After being bashed repeatedly on Pinside I wouldn’t blame him for not posting. This forum can be toxic at times. It’s a shame since he provided lots of useful information. Great product. Can’t wait for remake #3.

I didn’t know this happened. Very unfortunate. I don’t know the details and I don’t want to know them but a professional company like CGC shouldn’t go away... just learn to ignore the idiots. This has to be part of any media outreach I’m guessing.

#1519 6 years ago
Quoted from iwantansi:

Wow, another person chased off of Pinside - great job guys!

This is why we can’t have nice things... seriously sometimes this place is rough.

#1534 6 years ago
Quoted from CosmoJoe:

Medieval Madness being the first remake was good and bad at the same time It is such an awesome pin but being the first CGC remake, obviously means subsequent games get the better tech not to mention improvements as CGC production makes fixes to what works and doesn't. For that reason I agree, it would be cool if CGC went back and did an anniversary edition of MMr or something. I would be all over that.

So you want an MMr-r?
