Just like WOZ satisfies a lot of people now that they are all delivered, so will MMr. You can complain and theorize all you want about machines that aren't being enjoyed by their owners, but until they are delivered its all hot air.

MM is one of the finest pinball machines ever conceived and produced, and delivers real satisfication to those lucky enough to play it and/or own one. To think MMr will somehow be a pale shadow of the original, or less appealing to play and enjoy is folly. Let the collectors have their rarities....that doesn't have anything to do with MMr. There is "waiting fatigue" in the market. That will evaporate for MMr once it's delivered. I envy those receiving one.

Speaking as someone who got a refund, because $8k is too rich for any game for me. But I'll trade my AVLE for someone's spot - or game - for the right deal. :>.
