This could be one of the most fundamental issues of all time for Pinsiders......where do you line up with a brand new, new processor, new playfield Stern(blasphemy?) MMR vs. an almost 20 year old original MM? This is a valuable and very revealing debate. Could a manufacturer make a living just buying licenses and building VE's? What is the legacy and /or collector value of an old game that no longer has a limited number of copies? Does a beautiful, NIB Stern game trump an old Midway game? Which side are you on?

Ok. Point made. It is still being assembled by Stern.

Complex issue......how do you weight the value of the designer and the artist vs. the value of the manufacturer? Does Stern building the new game diminish its value? Are new Williams/Bally wires, LED's, screws, bolts, and solenoids superior to the Stern products? More importantly, how will the community price a NIB MMR vs. a nice, but almost 2 decades old MM?

Regarding the color DMD being awesome, wouldn't a color LED be even more awesome?
