I got into this hobby for the love of pinball. I especially love classic games and feel compelled to support Haggis in their quest to bring back some of these beloved classics. I'm in on an ME order #314.

Quoted from Aussiepinwiz:Based on posts in this thread, a little over half of them sold within one week of launch. How quickly were these folks expecting these machines to sell? Complete sell-out within a few days? I think Haggis is hoping for 250 units sold within a month, and then go into full scale production in July. Time will tell if they assessed the potential market correctly.
I think they were hoping for a Rick and Morty style blowout of 750 units in just a few hours. If they wanted that then they needed to add more to the Mermaid edition. Its good that they have the standard for those that want a faithful reproduction but people that are on the Mermaid edition clearly are looking for more out of the game. 2.0 code is a nice start and the additional bling is cool but how much cooler would an LCD screen with animations be similar to Beatles vs Sea Witch. At this point the value really depends on that 2.0 code but without an lcd screen showing cool animations, it has its work cut out for it.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:I would think the new animations for the 2.0 code will be on the 2 small lcd displays on the apron. This way you still have that beautiful Fathom backglass and SS displays for nostalgia.
I hope you are right

Quoted from MrMikeman:So spread the word and let's get other canucks on board man!
With only 250 Mermaids, I suspect half going to Europe, 100 or so going to the States and an unusually greater than typical number remaining in Australia for national pride. I suspect only about 5 games going to Canada. This tends to be the usual proportion with other LEs. Containers need about 30 pins at least to fill up and be worth it. That said I hope I'm wrong and people come out in droves to support Haggis in this endeavor.

Quoted from DakotaMike:I chose #86. For my birth year. Seemed as good as any number.
I chose 69 for my birth year but it was already taken. Apparently 200+ others also must of had that as their birth year as well.
