Medieval Madness (Remake - Standard)
Chicago Gaming Co., 2015Here is my Number 440 unboxing day! A great product ordered from PPS and yes I paid sales tax and shipping both (I live in CA) ! wanted to get it from PPS themselvesP1000727.JPG instead of a outside vendor. No regrets Over 9K worth it LOLP1000681.JPGP1000689.JPGP1000695.JPGP1000720.JPGP1000720.JPGP1000722.JPGP1000722.JPGP1000724.JPG
Quoted from kidchrisso:PPS delivers to their "paid in full" customers quick.
Pps may...but I've been paid in full for a while with no game 
I was updated by a local parts supplier who's very much in the know. He said a lot more MMRs will be coming off the production line at Stern in the very near future. One reason is that Stern, for what ever reason, is not ready to churn out the orders for Game of Thrones at full pace. So Stern has extra production time available to work on MMRs for now. The most recent post from Rick @ PPS Forum also said they're targeting ~ 250 units produced for December. I think that will take care of 75% of the LEs. Mine was ordered more than 2 years ago and paid in full more than 1 year ago from JJP. Still radio silence from JJP.
Quoted from kidchrisso:Don't wait for them to call you. Contact Jim and tell him you are ready to pay in full. I bet you get your game soon after that. When I paid in full August, I was with in the first 20 who paid in full for black. Got my game in the first batch of black.
That's what is bullshit. They didn't go down the line in order. They just took your money and put you up front with zero disclosure of that policy. Hell, I would've paid in full day one if it was stated that way to everyone. It wasn't, ever. Even to this day it hasn't been said to customers. Instead I had to ask what the hell is going on before being told that. Still, now I'm paid in full for a couple months with no end in sight with the AUS and now EURO games taking everything. Really annoying. It's also especially annoying that I got in on MMr in 2005 (yes, 2005). The statement made at announcement that Wayne's customers got first dibs was malarkey too.

Awesome lineup, looking really good. I just sold my MB, missing it already
Quoted from Goner:Does the one key supplied with MMR open both locks? My key does not work with the back box lock.
Your backbox key is hanging on a hook on the inside of your coin door.
Quoted from cooked71:If anyone watched the Johns Arcade Stern tour, at the very beginning there are a heap of MMr playfields ready to go onto the line.
Yep. I sure did. I noticed a bunch all over the line in places too. Soon.....
Rick said there would be an addendum to the manual to account for the differences in the board references. Did they go that route or did they just update the manual itself with the new fuse/transistor locations?
Also what does the game do when you press the start button while you are in test mode (switches, lamps, etc.)? The original does a nice scrolling thing to tell you the wires/fuses/drivers for the component you are testing. I always use that instead of the manual just because it's handy. I'm assuming they updated all that as well for the new system.
My manual is still attached to the inside of the pin.
I haven't palyed around w/ the test buttons much. Other than the ability to change the DMD color/coil strengths, all of the other settings appear to be the same as WPC games
Quoted from PPS:Generally we go thru in order of when the orders are made which we maintain, and then people are contacted. Depending on how long that takes, then certainly the natural order can change. Additionally, things vary based on what trim color is being worked on when, what other allocation are going on (like containers to AU, etc). Some people take a long time to pay their balance, and at that point we are not waiting for them, they will get in line as soon as we receive payment. PPS does not deliver to distributors, so I have no idea what that comment means. But clearly now is the time for payment on balances and the faster they come in, the faster customers will have their games which may be 2 weeks or more, but it will be as soon as it can.

Huh??
I paid my balance July 2014. Still nothing. If PPS doesn't deliver to distributors, why were they the ones making all of the promises? This was a PPS project I was told? I'm not in the pinball loop like most, but WTF? PPS takes priority in deliveries? Why??
This is beyond idiotic (and I'm sorry for saying that). How new orders get their games first is stupid.
I'm sure the game is great but enough of the idiocy!
The question then becomes: Did your distributor pay CGC for the game when you paid in full or are they waiting to pay CGC as their bank account sees fit?

That thought scares the hell out of me! I paid JJP over a year ago. But did they ever pay CGC???
Quoted from calico1997:That thought scares the hell out of me! I paid JJP over a year ago. But did they ever pay CGC???
Hahah. I wonder the same thing.....
Quoted from calico1997:That thought scares the hell out of me! I paid JJP over a year ago. But did they ever pay CGC???
I have the same feeling! I paid twisted pins in june 2014 ,I like Travis but I will never get in this bullshit situation again, and it's all my fault !
I think it's been mentioned many times, CGC only collects the money a few weeks before the pin is ready for shipping
Quoted from Nilroc:Still waiting....
On the bright side the Seahawks have been to the Super Bowl twice since you placed your order. And possibly a third time before it arrives. 
Quoted from Nilroc:Still waiting....
There were so many ready to go down the line in that Johns Arcade all access Stern tour. But in not sure when that was actually shot - could have been taken a while ago. Although there was snow outside the factory, and GOTle's on the line, so must have been fairly recent.
Quoted from Pablito:At this pace I think we see the Lions or possibly the Browns win the Superbowl before I see my damn MMR.
I had a choice HEP restored MM for a few months. But I would gladly trade that memory for a chance that the Chargers might win the Super Bowl before I no longer care.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:Somewhat patiently waiting
Don't worry. You'll get your MMr before the chargers win the Super Bowl.
Just talked to JJP. They haven't gotten games in a while and said games are going to Europe now. Sorry America. 
Funny thing, last year I was hoping to get my MMR in time for our Christmas party. Never in a million years did I think it would miss THIS year's Christmas party too.
I'm new to this pin ordering thing, so this may be a dumb question. If this is PPS's baby, why would you order through anyone besides PPS?
They are just the licensee but also happen to be a distributor it's more of CGC's baby with planetary's blessing and support
That's what I'm saying. Since they are more connected to the project, I don't see why one would order through another vendor. I figured that was the best path to go and it seemed to be.
I'm just surprised they started doing Europe so soon after they did the Australian container you would think that they would want to do a run of domestic games so that at least games is being delivered would show up on the forums and ease peoples minds a bit instead of leaving everyone in limbo while container loads of these games are on the ocean. It is fairly disheartening knowing that there has been only 15 games ahead of me through my distributor for the last three weeks straight
