So I have accidentally been on board for the MMR since day 2. I was not in Chicago for the announcement but I was able to get online (after 4 calls from other pin nerds who were there) and went online and requested info on the announcement. I got in. I have quietly sat in the shadows of this historical endeavor waiting and hoping to see it to fruition. I have stood fast and persevered to the end in hopes of attaining a Medieval Madness NIB.I have watched the nay sayers, the fan boys and all in between. Every post from Rick and Planetary kept me positive and I stayed the course. Last week I got the email ...put up or shut up. This was the time to commit at total. I discussed it with my pin heads and received mixed reviews on the outcome. (It cost to much,It is untested technology. It will loose value,) I caved and sent the cancellation notice. Then two days of second guessing my actions came.
Wait, I really would like to own a MM.
They were over the top in cost before this remake.
Here's an opportunity to get the grail.
You are a chickenshit,why did you bail?
Cost? Lost Equity? New technology? ....
I called Rick today. I held him to his word (call me any time).
25 minutes of listening to a guy that truly believes in the pinball passion.
I asked if there was any way to retract my cancellation and he said yes, we have been so busy with all this but I will work it out for you.
So I'm back in!!!!!
I know this has been a huge moment in pinball. what happens next? All that I know is I'm getting a grail pin.
I would really like to hear other peoples emotions on this?
Oh by the way ,Thank Rick.
