    Yes some will see this post as rather pedantic, but when you are spending 8K and are partial to the art and beauty of a pinball machine as much as the game play it offers I think the color selected for the machine's trim is a relevant query. I am preparing to purchase two machines in the coming weeks (AFMR LE and WOZ Emerald Edition) and I wanted to solicit some opinions on the color they favor for the former. I am leaning toward the lime green, which is cheesy and attuned to the 50's camp era it visits, but some art lovers favor black or standard grey, which is seen by said pinball collectors as far more appropriate with the back glass and cabinet art. I have seen each of the possibilities and personally still like the green best, but am wondering what others think. On an older thread I saw some really adverse to the color.

    Quoted from erak:

    How about what's YOU think looks best. Who cares what other people think. It will be your machine.
    I have the Gold MMr LE. And personally think it looks great. Others do not. That doesn't bother me, because it's mine. And I'll never sell it anyway

    Erak, I do understand that, and in the end of course the decision will be mine. But I just feel better to get some fellow pinsiders voicing their own opinions. I have long favored the lime green but when AFMR LE first released there were plenty of people downgrading the green. One respondent here has indicated that initial opinion has been overturned at least to some degree. I see green is leading on the thread, though some are big fans of the black trim too. Decisions, decisions. Anyway I much appreciate your feedback here. Wow you have the gold MMr LE? Fantastic!!! I have the standard MMR with the shaker motor. For AFMR and the upcoming MBR I will go LE all the way.
