Was directed to this from the other thread that was on here a few days ago about MB being re-done, I don't know how I missed this until now, but according to Little shop of Games, who appears to be a reputable dealer (Stern and JJP) and knows and talks with Planetary and Chicago gaming executives.
See for yourself! I can't wait! I've decided to put my STLE purchase on hold, I've always wanted a MB and I think it will be better than MM myself.
