The MMRLE pre-order was my first foray into this type of transaction and I can say with 100% certaintly it will be my last. Of course the lengthy delays have taken the excitement out of getting the pin, but what has ruined it for me more is the lack of updates, be it either from anyone at PPS or CGC. As many have commented before, it's almost like when we do get those rare updates, it leaves a feeling of being a pheasant being thrown a bread crumb from the Royalty.

I don't particularly care for Rick's condescending tone when he does provide feedback, (I know there are lots of pinsiders out there who are of the mindset that he doesn't owe purchasers anything). I've never received a reason why JJP requested full payment a year ago for the impending delivery of MMR yet, here I am a year later, no MMR in my home, and absolutely no forecast as to when I will receive it.

Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice.........

And yes, now the excitement is pretty well gone to receive this pin, that I am at the point of second guessing if I really want to have it in my collection afterall.
