I wonder how much this pin would have been if WOZ or stern didn't create the new 8k price bracket.

Quoted from PPS:Also ... a quick update (i'm putting together a longer update around a bunch of topics for the weekend) ... we have the original uncompressed audio files for MM that we will be using on the MMR! We had to check out and verify what we had, but resulting audio quality will be much higher as the compression reduced the sampling rate and so this will be one of the benefits of using the new platform ... stay tuned for more.

Now go over to stern and get their uncompressed file and remake LOTR.
Quoted from iceman44:Hell yes!
That'd be one hell of an upgrade. You'd pretty much be replacing a good chunk of the game and it wouldn't be cheap.

Quoted from PPS:I have the budget ... you can't get away from this that easy Lloyd ... lol
Sounds like a plan

The bow tie.
LTG : )
Get one for prada too.
Quoted from meSz:Rick, if I call you can I beat your ear about reproducing the transparent targets for Medusa and Elektra..........again???
No, he is too busy thinking about how to make the bk2k repro playfields the best they can be.

Quoted from lapean111:Me too.
It'd be great to see used one for for $7k like you are with MM's now.
Quoted from Eryeal:Wasn't it agreed that MB would be impossible due to the Universal licenses that would also be needed?
Who agreed? The pinside collective?
If it really was a no go, you'd think PPS would clarify that pretty fast.
Quoted from pezpunk:i could be wrong but i thought they said they already had the Universal licensing to reproduce certain parts anyway.
You're correct, they already have a license for parts. So its not like they would say no when they're already saying yes to parts.

Quoted from spfxted:Did Rick say a machine would be at Allentown?
Rick said he would magically teleport a game to every convention across the US, since they're all so close together.

Quoted from Concretehardt:Hey Lloyd I just noticed you trademarked the smiley face by your initials... : )
I tried using the smiley face once and I got a cease and desist from LTG. It was almost as scary as the ones Rick hands out.

Quoted from jalpert:Just throwing this out there. Why can't it be good and on time?
It'd be a nice change to have topics of people pissed off about a late MM instead of late WOZ's

Quoted from redmamanora:Good question.
I'd guess Sept, since rick said late Q2 they'd be shipping out.
Quoted from Flake:Wouldn't late Q2 be June?
Thats what I tried looking into, not sure if all businesses follow the same calendar:

Quoted from Rarehero:That would never happen. He doesn't want to be responsible for someone putting something together wrong and damaging the machine or themselves. There's no way he could sell the product in pieces and offer a warranty. Not worth it for the 5 people who'd be interested.
Its still a fun idea.

Quoted from Pintucky:I was a little disappointed that Jack wants immediate payment for the MMR. While I still want the pin, I was laboring under the assumption that during the past few weeks/months I still had the option of asking for my refund and cancelling my order. But I'm locked in now (or locked out if I don't hustle with the payment) without any warning.
Where did I go wrong thinking the 'official' lock-in date had yet to occur? I remember Rick saying they were locked in with Williams, but don't remember seeing anything that cautioned you the clock was ticking and you only had so many days to back out. Now, it seems if JJP doesn't get payment in full by July 11, you lose your $1,000 deposit and you no longer can get the game.
While it all works out the same for me in the end (I have to pay . . . I get the pin I asked for), I just didn't like this surprise. I expected some kind of 30 day notice or something to that effect.
Mike
So you're mad you're asked to pay for what you said you wanted? If you didn't want it 100%, don't commit to anything.
Quoted from spfxted:Heard they got in a BUNCH of AFM parts.....hmmmmm
It'll be fun watching how he does repro #2, the pitchforks will be gathered if he tries asking $8k for an AFM.
Quoted from S37VEN:In JJP's defense, I looked back at my sales confirmation after I sent the initial $1000. In the October 2013 email from Jack attaching the confirmation, he clearly states "this deposit is fully refundable up to the time of WMS approval."
Though it would have been nice to have gotten a 48 hour deadline email, doing so at the time probably would have cost Jack some sales. From a business perspective, I get it.
Oh snap, did someone just use real actual evidence to support a claim?
Quoted from Fuse:Is anyone nuts enough to put it on location?
I'll be playing one on Location once LTG gets his.
Quoted from o-din:After paying the balance on MMr, there won't be any coins left to put through the coin door. Non issue IMO. Will it come with a power cord?
You don't remove the power cord and replace it with your own as well?
Quoted from Crash:Ok, so you will be selling coin mechs then. But still, you're charging your customers an additional amount that was not outlined in the beginning. It's the principle Rick. You pulled the rug out from underneath these owners and I think it should be made right. Just throw them in for free and call it a complete, fully functional commercial quality pin as advertised.
I'm sure next time you place an order with PPS, you could always round down. Its only a couple bucks and its the same concept, right?
Just donate the cost of 2000 coin mechs to a charity, that way everyone will feel warm and fuzzy inside and they will have help contribute
Quoted from spfxted:Was that a snide remark?
No, find a good charity and let the pinball goodness of our hearts do something worthwhile.

Quoted from Skypilot:I'm thinking it only makes sense to debut these at Expo considering that it was there they were announced one year earlier.
He should probably debut the first physical MM first before talking up AFM.
Quoted from epthegeek:Didn't they do that at TPF? And the open houses at Chicago Gaming?
Pre production ones don't count. I'm talking assembly line NIBs to be sent out
Quoted from mrclean:I don't know why people aren't talking more about the game going into production... Last I checked Rick said the end of July... todays July 31st.

It'll be a nice change to see the pitchforks pointed at someone other than JJP for once with late games.
Quoted from Pintucky:I agree . . . we just have to have patience. I feel if it is not done as a 'rush job' just to satisfy us, we stand to get a better built pin. But, I still want my coin mechs!
I'd like to see a production pic before sept.
