MM confirmed at Expo by Planetary Pinball. $7995

Quoted from Kcpinballfan:
Am I the only one that thinks this is overpriced? All they are doing is putting together a previously manufactured game, its not like they have to pay a designer or artists or pay for research and developement of invented parts. I may be priced out. I'm sure they'll probably sell but its not an original and I'm not so sure its worth it.

Exactly. If I'm Ritchie I'm thinking WTF?? He busts his butt for a year and a half (along with dozens of others) ... to design a pin with all the latest tech in it ... and these guys come along and rebuild a game from 2 decades ago and sell it for the same price? Industry is definitely a lil' crazy.

So, just to be clear, this new run will not say "Williams" anywhere? Not on the sideart, speaker panel, anywhere? Why not? I missed the seminar.

Got my preorder in.

I have an AFM, which I actually like more than MM, but it will be interesting to see how they work side-by-side. I also have SM. We'll see if that's one too many destroy the thing in the middle layouts.

confirmation screen yes, email "order received" yes, but the email says "this is not an order confirmation", and when I log in to their website, it still lists my order as "pending". your friend should log in to the site and check his previous orders to make sure it's there.

Call me Jared.

And no.

I am extremely happy and excited for pinball, but I'm not the kind of guy who pays $8000 for toys. I'm in for a $5000 MM in less than perfect shape.

I just like to see everyone talk about it.

I'm still a fan of the $800 Rollergames.

According to the presenters, Williams doesn't want people to get confused and call them for tech support, sue them if it caused their divorce, etc.

Me neither....and it tarnishes anyway. I'd rather see a nice custom powercoat color from Alex. I ordered at the Pinball Sales site, and it was just the $1000 deposit. However...my invoice number is over 1000 so I may have gotten shut out already!.

I was Order 1138.

There are multiple distributors, as well as people ordering in person at Expo, so there's no one source of numbers yet. I wonder how many each distributor is being allotted.

I'm thinking about getting the right to re-print Topps baseball cards so I can reprint Miguel Cabrera's rookie card from 2000 ... it's now worth well over $100 mint so I'll charge only $75. I'll even throw in a nice plastic protector (with gold trim if you like.)

Still working on the pricing for A.Rod's rookie card and Pujols. I'll keep you posted ...

You are correct, it is pricey, but remember they are a start-up, and that before this was announced today, you could not find a NIB MM machine for under 20K. They need the overhead if they are going to keep it going and re-issue other titles. If they turn into a major manufacturing force, then you can imagine the prices will come down a little. I wonder how JJP & Stern are going to react to this.

If I get one great. If not, no worries. I would just be surprised if all 1k were spoken for this soon.

8k would be my top too. If someone wants to flip for considerably higher; I won't be a buyer.

seems like everyone's first order at pinballsales did not go through. i am pretty sure my second was one of the first to go through and it had 1116 on it. i don't think that is a number indicating sales but i could be wrong. person above that mentioned outfits buying these up for future profits could be correct but from what i see if this goes well they will just keep building them. so speculators will be sorry. everyone's mm will be worth what a good bally/williams goes for which is about $6000. funny thing is even these new ones will be worth that after taken out of the box.
