Quoted from Rush1169:I wonder. . .let's say when the dust settles there are 900 MMrLEs sold on preorder. Will they make 1,000? If so, will they then make a number of 'standards'?
Maybe they will make 1,000 LEs (as distributors are probably stuck with their allotment), but 100 remain with distributors after preorders are shipped. Will they make standards?
There doesn't seem to be a waitlist for LEs. . .
We've not really approached many of the other resellers who did not get any LE's who want MMRs (Stds), as no point in doing that until the LE's are thru. So, we have many resellers who want to bulk order MMR Stds, but we just don't need to go there at this time as that will be a discussion for early next year. The market is growing by all accounts, and we see roughly the planned output we always had seen, despite all of the ups and downs. Of course we are disappointed that it's not out as that disappoints our customers - but it is what it is, and a new MMR with updated sound, display, new non-worn parts, new playfield, new cabinet, etc, upgraded lighting, shaker motor, etc is still attractive alternative to a used game without most of those features. And yes, I fully expect that purists want an original 'new' MM, but finding them for $8K will be a little bit of a challenge, but both will co-exist as the customers we sell to are the former.
