Medieval Madness 2019 remake rumors?

Quoted from mbeardsley:
Visited a local (large) distributor on Friday, and he said that all of the new run of Medieval Madness is already sold out. He said that he was only allocated 3 machines and they went to people on his waiting list right away.
He said that the new run was only 500 machines and 350 of them were the Royal edition.
This seems strange to me. Why even bother with Special and/or Classic editions if you are only going to make about 75 of each?
I was hoping to pick up a Special edition in a few months, after I sold a machine to make room (and help pay for it).
Any idea if this info is correct? Other distributors (on-line) are advertising them as available (though I haven't called them to verify). It appears that Special and Classic editions of Monster Bash are still available (but LE's are gone). I had sort of assumed the same would hold true for MM for a while.

Fret not fair Pinballer, for thou shalt be able to purchase forthwith unto future endeavors. CGC will hitherto make more post haste.

Is this just what you believe will happen? Or do you have some sort of info about their plans?

As long as there is a market and they can sell them they will make them.. But it may be awhile until they run MM again. CGC has stated they will not remake the RE but the CE and SE are open to more production runs.

Highly doubt it would be before 2021 though.

My suggestion would be to go through another distro. I believe some distros in the US still have NIB MMr from the last run.

I recently put a deposit down on a MMrSE, I was told they will be produced in the near future Dec/Jan time frame. I saw similar timelines posted by distributors. I know this has been hanging a bit, but here's to be hoping they meet this timeline!

I never even knew these were up for sale. What was the price on the RE?

Rick @ PPS will not stop making a popular title. It’s not in his DNA. That and MM being the all timer of money switching hands for over 2 decades is a no brainer. I’m in on MMRRE and can’t see this run being the last by a long shot.

It was presented in this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sneak-peek-medieval-madness-remake-topper

And this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/mmr-owners-club-all-things-mmr-discussed/page/94#post-5330446

Obviously in latest pages of threads. That’s how I ordered mine.

Why hasn't CGC updated their own website with the 2019 MMr updated matrix and pictures?

If you don't live on Pinside all day long (me) or familiar with some Twitch streamers…how would anyone know this was coming?

I've also not received a single formal email promo communication from any distributor as a heads up.

I've been on the list since April waiting and waiting...and CGC keeps moving the production goal posts month after month.

Did they not bother to update their own website because they're already spoken for? Seems ridiculous that they would then stop at just 500 or whatever their plans are.

I have no idea. Huh. Great questions.

Not even sure I'd take mine out of the box...probably just hug it every waking moment. Wife can watch I guess. She's no MMRRE.
