Look at the bright side, with no power cord, it will stay "minty fresh" for years!!! Seriously, that would piss me off!

Ha no way was I going to wait just nicked one from a sub woofer. It's going to need a couple of tweets but still pretty dam impressive

I'll ask a couple of questions in the morning when I sober up

Looks great! Change that default green screen color, stat! I went with a nice blue.
Quoted from Drewblood419:Still over here waiting on my day one order paid in full July 14
Same here. You wouldn't be a Twisted Pins customer like me, would you?
Twisted pins communication has certainly gone from bad to worst. I got lucky and got mine that I ordered through them in early Dec, but it was not easy. The pin was made in September and it took until Dec to get things sorted out. Hopefully you get yours soon, I also waited over 2 long years
Quoted from taz:Same here. You wouldn't be a Twisted Pins customer like me, would you?
No I'm waiting through JJP
Quoted from Drewblood419:No I'm waiting through JJP
I am waiting through JJP as well. Have they even delivered any MMRs recently?
Quoted from rviguet:I am waiting through JJP as well. Have they even delivered any MMRs recently?
God I hope so I've had 15 ahead of me since early November and they keep saying 2 weeks lol
I'm waiting on JJP too... Black trim. When did you guys pay in full? I've got no idea how many are in front of me...
We've got to be getting close to the end, I hope.
I waited 27 months for a gold from jjp, was paid in full also when they asked for payment loooong before shipping. Machine #692 arrived 1/15/16.
Finally got my last of the LE's in, and this one is mine. Of course I wanted to deliver customer games first. I must say, this game plays great, it feels so new and tight compared to my old MM. It's a beautiful piece! This one will be in my house permanently. Now even more anxious for the next release!
Well I just got the email I have been waiting for!!! My black trim MMR is ready to ship!!! Wooohoooo!!!

Paid JJP in full July 9, 2014. Waiting on black trim.
My MMR arrived late December - cruelly I was overseas at the time and could not pick it up. Even more cruelly, by the time I got back home, the distributor was on holidays. I finally picked it up last week on the day the distributor returned. Cruelly, I could not open it as we were leaving for a beach holiday that morning!!!
I finally got to open it tonight with my daughter - a fun experience. It's fantastic, amazing, a miracle. I sort of can't believe the people who complained about trivialities like coin mechs, switch centering, and misaligned start buttons. Anyway, I won't go there. It's working an absolute treat.
Only two issues so far identified. One, the ball was flying off the return habitrail from the left ramp. I lowered the flipper strength by one and this seems to have solved the problem. Second, when the ball rolls over the 'R' lane, the 'E' lights up in the next lane. I assume something is mis-wired - will check it out in the morning.
Oh, and the Laserrific topper is spectacular.
Thank-you PPS and CGC, this machine is the business!

Happy for you.
I love mine.
Your switch issue maybe they put the whole switch bracket on the wrong holes.
Might only take a minutes to switch them around
Enjoy
Quoted from dluth:Second, when the ball rolls over the 'R' lane, the 'E' lights up in the next lane. I assume something is mis-wired - will check it out in the morning.
Either the microswitches are installed in the wrong slots on that side, or the lamp PCB is reversed. Go into switch test mode and press the inlane switches to see if they're correct. If not, swap them. If they are, rotate the lamp PCB for the R E lights and reinstall.
The test game at Expo had the swordfight lamps reversed for a while - PCB installed 180deg off.

With how MMR in/outlane switches are wired, it's a five-second job to swap two tiny molex plugs. No need to move the switches.
I am also one of those folks that paid in full in the summer of 2014. Just got this email from JJP this week:
"Jen told me you called regarding your Gold MMR LE. Good news! There are only a few Gold games ahead of yours to ship before you will be able to pick up your game! I'm hoping your game will be ready before the end of next week. I will let you know as soon as I hear that your game is ready to be picked up.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks and have a great day!"

That's fantastic news, so this means it should only be 2 to 3 more months wait for you!!

My thoughts exactly.
Quoted from yancy:With how MMR in/outlane switches are wired, it's a five-second job to swap two tiny molex plugs. No need to move the switches.
Yeah, it was as simple as switch 17 being plugged into number 27 and vice versa. All good now, thanks.
Still getting the ball flying off the wire habitrail after I hit a clean shot to the left ramp. Lowering the flipper strength has helped a bit but it's still coming off when I hit the ramp cleanly. Anyone else had this? Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. I removed the wire ramp and found one of the prongs that goes into the plastic ramp was bent. Straighten the prong and haven't had a problem since using default flipper settings.

Check the transition from plastic ramp to habitrail. Make sure the lower (right) wall of the ramp is aligned perfectly with the direction of the habitrail so the ball does not change direction when transitioning from ramp to wireform.

Just got this email today. Apparently pigs are flying and fat ladies are singing. They must really be getting to the completion of LE production if mine is now ready for pick up.
" Great news! Your Gold MMR LE is ready to be picked up at CGC. Please let me know when you would like to pick it up so I can let them know. Thanks and have a great day!

Let us know what number you got.
FYI if you're with JJP, almost all of the games they've gotten in the past month are gold, and they still have quite a waiting list on black. This is what they told me today.
Quoted from rolandthoms:Black looks really nice....waiting makes it sweeter
any day now, any day now....
The black does look good. But I really like the look of my baby poop gold.
Spoke with JJP Katie via email today and she told me that I still had 6 black ahead of me. Confusing as before it was a couple before mine....oh well. Just get here perfect!

reminds me of this scene from "Snatch" while Turkish (Jason Statham) waits for his hot dog....

At least you don't have 50 something in front of you like I do! This was a couple weeks ago when drewblood had 15 in front of him. He got his so maybe down to 35 or 40 now. Still a looooong wait ahead!

When did you guys pay in full? I'm waiting on a black trim from JJP as well. I paid up in Jan 2015. So I'm guessing I've still got a while.
I paid in Full July 2014. I was told January 4 2016 that there was 15 Black in front of mine.
I'll just be very happy when it finally arrives.

Hopefully you get that email soon!
I guess one positive thing for me is that I may not need to worry about getting it in the house with snow on the ground!

If I remember correctly....I paid in June 2014 or early July 2014. I swear, unless other orderers were the Flash or had super powers, I had to be one of the first ones to pay in full!!!
