I will mention there were a lot of little things I noticed or that were pointed out to me that convey the level of detail and care being put into the production of the game...
- Custom made shelving to hold for EVERYTHING - playfields, to keep them on rotisseries and separated not stacked, before or after they are populated. They were even used for things like the backbox kits after they are assembled. Nothing seems to have to be lifted by hand during the process. Seems like a little thing but you don't have anything banging into anything - care is taken to ensure every playfield is pristine.
- If you look at some of the pictures of the cabinets during burn in phase, you'll see little tracks on the floor...Again, to keep moving cabinets from banging or touching each other.
- At the end of the line before boxing, air guns are used to get any dust off the playfield, then they are waxed... You can see that being done in one of my pictures... Again, maybe that's commonplace but I've been to a lot of factories and don't recall the game being spit shined just before it's put into the box so the customer gets something perfect.
There were numerous little things like that I saw that you could tell they took the time to plan out and think about before rushing into production... Not only are the games now going to get made swiftly after minimal wait after the announcement in March but I have the utmost confidence the same quality we saw with MMR will continue with AFMR.

PinballSTAR Amusements (authorized CG distributor) is expected to have some MMRs NIB (from CG factory of course at this point) in stock in September to ship to new customers... We have only 1 person in line at this point given we got a few of the last ones out of Stern factory a few months ago and took care of all of our pre-orders... If you want an MMR now is the time - minimal wait and I'll be getting a bunch out of this limited run they will be doing !

Email Joe at [email protected] and I'd be happy to take care of you ! : )

We had 1 or 2 cancellations in our final allotment of LEs getting done in the next couple weeks... So I have a few NIB AFMR LEs up for grabs if anyone wants them...

Quoted from Vino:

Hey guys, for the new games in stock, have you received the PIC 2.0 update yet from CGC for them and for existing owners as well?

We have CEs and SEs in stock and they need the pics, but we will have them with the games. Not sure about the LEs - email if interested and I can check. The swap out is a few minute procedure anyway, not really a big deal. Want an AFMR - any model ? Email [email protected] The LEs we have are the last batch we will have to sell and then they are gone, sold out etc...

For existing customers our pics are on their way and we will turn them right around when received to our prior customers.

TY !
