Quoted from CGC-Ryan:

I wanted to jump in for some clarity on the upcoming Medieval Madness Production.
As we started thinking about Medieval Madness and the upcoming production run, we wanted to bring the look up to date with our other games (AFM and MB).
We know the community wanted the XL display for Medieval Madness, and many have expressed interest in a CGC topper for the game. They wanted it to look the same as AFM and MB when it was sitting in next to them.
We came up with the idea of update kits that are available for all current Medieval Madness owners, and worked hard on making that a reality. All existing Medieval Madness owners will be able to purchase the updates through their CGC dealer as well as Planetary Pinball Supply, and install the kits for themselves or with the assistance of their dealer.
We also knew a certain number of people would want to have the kits preinstalled by CGC at the factory. So we designed and launched the Special Edition and the Royal Edition. These 2 models are both priced as a Classic Medieval Madness with the cost of the update kits added.
The Royal Edition we then decided to add the Black Diamond powdercoating to all the trim on the game to give it a very refined look. We liked the look of the Black Diamond powdercoating on the armor so much that we decided to add it to the speaker panel, coin door, lower arch/apron, and hinges. The Royal Edition was designed to showcase all the kits available for Medieval Madness.
We will be building 500 total Medieval Madness machines during this time. A limited amount of these will be manufactured as the Royal Edition with all the features installed at the factory. We will not be manufacturing the Royal Edition again. We are treating it like all of our Limited Edition games and only manufacturing them the one time.
We want all of our customers to be able to have the best of what we can build, and we did that by offering the upgrade kits for all existing CGC Medieval Madness games, and wanted to offer new customers the ability to experience what we are doing at CGC.
I encourage everybody who owns a CGC Medieval Madness to look into the update kits. It is a cost effective way to update your Limited Edition and Standard Edition Medieval Madness to look like the other CGC games we manufacturer.

My game has this topper....
If I buy the new topper can I add a plug the old one and put it on a shelf to light up?[quoted image]

Pretty sure it's 12v DC not 120 AC. You would have to find a 12vdc transfomer or power source....

Quoted from rai:

do you have any pictures of the black trim?

Quoted from marksf123:

Ok - so maybe something like this would work?

Quoted from LTG:

Do you mean what is on the Royal version ? Pictures might not do it justice. The tiny bit of sparkle has to be seen in person.

Quoted from wamoc:

cgc-ryan Does this mean that Royal Edition will be numbered like other LE games?

Quoted from rai:

I am on the fence and this is the main feature that would decide for me.

Quoted from rai:

Yes picture of the Royal trim. I realize won't get the sparkle effect but wanted to see the overall look with all the trim black pieces.

Quoted from rai:

do you have any pictures of the black trim?

Quoted from rai:

Quoted from PtownPin:

...You get the powder coating, topper, and the shaker for the additional $1K (SE to Royal) ... looks like their charging $250 for the powder coat

Quoted from Lame33:

Also the mirror blades and double warranty... so not quite $250 powder coat.

Quoted from PtownPin:

Good point...forgot about the blades so if your truly just buying a standard MMR and paying CGC to install upgrades then why isn't the powder coated trim an option for purchase?

Quoted from Lame33:

Also the mirror blades and double warranty... so not quite $250 powder coat.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

If they make another version down the road as a different limited run, who cares (though they haven't done that to my knowledge...JJP is the only company rehashing LE's correct?).

Quoted from arcademojo:

WTF???? They (CGC) are doing it right now!!! You are buying a rehash of the LE.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Wait a minute.....you're right!!! this LE shit gets confusing....
The rehash of WOZ ECLE would be RR, then YBR (?)
Now MMrLE rehash is SE (?) or RE(?) or both....
I've put too much thought into this already, my head hurts......

Quoted from zpinman370:

MMrR should be the new designation to keep it simple - well until the next rehash but I kind of dont think that will happen for a while as CGC should be announcing the next remake soon would be my guess - or at least most of ours hope- they should be striking now to fill the void while Stern and JJP are messing around trying to fix the playfield issues they are having

Quoted from MK6PIN:

I'm good w MMrCE,SE,RE, as they are all different. At the end of the day I suspect it doesn't really matter...Pick the one you like...

Quoted from arcademojo:

True! When people start realizing LE is just a trim level then then will be much more happy.

Quoted from Rarehero:

It also has this...which really doesn’t mean anything...but it’s a thing, I guess. [quoted image]

Quoted from highdef:

Does the RGB kit allow you to easily revert back to the warm, old-school factory lighting?

Quoted from Rarehero:

MBr has that option. It’ll probably look slightly different, though. MMr comes with warm LEDs. Not sure if the RGB ones have a warm ability when white.

Quoted from highdef:

many thanks -- I had a feeling you'd know!
That's my biggest concern. I personally like the warm, retro look -- I think they did a fantastic job with MMR.

Quoted from jalpert:

That start button though...

Quoted from EricHadley:

?

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Can't wait to see that black armor in person!!

Quoted from rai:

Hey.
General question not trying to stir up trouble. What is the feeling/thought about MM price at $10K (I know that you don’t need the topper and black armor trim) but I’m calling it $10,300 when I could get SW pro +DP pro for $11,200.
I realize these pros are the basic stripped down pins and not the full flight premiums or LEs. But still two gaming goodness for the slightly more than the cost of the top of the MM Royal.
My theory, impression is that MM is *not* twice the game of SW or Maiden or DP pro but that extras like prestige, toys, quality and to an extent nostalgia make up the difference.
Myself, I’m on the fence where I can afford whatever but also I’m kind of frugal and I do have several $8-9K pins already. MM would be the king or the crown jewel of a collection but there is something to be said for quantity as in more pins over quality. No?

Quoted from jalpert:

A little old school MMR hate humor for you folks... Good thing this comes with coin mechs

Quoted from rai:

when I could get SW pro +DP pro for $11,200.

Quoted from Mr_Outlane:

but I wouldn't trade you my two pins for a MM Royal.

Quoted from Mr_Outlane:

To me no pin is worth 10,000. But I'm not rich so money matters.
