Everyone who wanted a new MM can now purchase one .

Many people will need space to add the MM to their collection , thus sell off a pin to used market .

Many will need to free up cash to add the MM to their collection , so many sell off a pinball into the used market .

I would say after talking to someone in Oz that MB and AFM are also on the cards , so the above will be repeated .

In my view this is a win win for all bare the completion JJP and Stern as I can already see some people will be pushing their cash into the new Williams/Bally that are proven fun pins .

So JJP and Stern now have a third wheel to contend with , they now have to improve product ( more bang for your buck) or reduce costs to the customer .

This is all great for pinball .

The only decline I can see is in the prices as supply ( Used and New ) increases

AFAIK, they are sold out.

There is no decline.

Today... We are in the best shape in a decade.

A manufacturer made ONE MILLION DOLLARS today and for commitment for another 7.

Pinball made $8M today. In about 7 hours.

All of this amazing... And I'm blessed to be here at ground zero with a front row seat.

The final bomb comes Saturday at 3pm. You better believe I am live streaming that one...

There will be more than enough MM to go around as a second run of the none LE's will be sold also .

They will make enough MMs to satisfy all demand. Sorry flippers.

Hey, leave Teekee out of this!

This is a great thing. Pinball was at its best as far as innovation and quality when there was competition. Now that its out there we'll likely see pinball reach a new level as JJP is already trying to do. Its a glass half full day and a very exciting time for this hobby.

Honestly, I don't see the need for remakes, but I can understand the demand for MM.

Is this verified or just speculation?

No one made a million dollars or eight million. You think they make them for free? There is still a chance you know that this doesn't work. I hope it does.. It's awesome news.. But out of 8 million in turnover there's probably not going to be more than 10-15 percent net profit tops. They are doing a lot of this for love.

This is a dream for flippers! Thank You Planetary! I've already sold two MM's since the sell out! I still have more in stock!

True the guys running planetary love pinball just as much as anyone involved in the hobby. You could consider them to be the ultimate 'collectors' because they essentially bought the company... But a 10-15% return rate is just good business too.
