For what i have heard from one of the the european distributors there are only coming around 85 games to the whole of europe. At least that is what i've heard last year from him. I guess they havent ordered anymore LE's since then, so the number should be still around that count. So the wait for new batches for domestic customers cannot be so long anymore.

Last month he told me that in total two containers are coming to europe apparently one should ship end of november - however that one is probably delayed as well -. The other one should leave right after that one.

I think everybody in europe is still waiting. I ordered on day one in 2013. I've paid in full and untill now no news from pps, cgc nor my distributor.

Just picked up the first game from MOP (europe) His container arrived this morning. Going to unbox mine in 30min.

He had 41 games left in stock. My number is 918.

None of the games had pallets so i guess shipping will take some time for those who are not close to rijswijk.

By the way for all european customers, make sure you buy a power cable this is not included with the game. To be honest i find this very very strange?!

The game looks perfect. The ink is dark. The gold looks very good (i really don't see the mustard issue) the playfield is super shiny it is a very nice game. I have zero complaints. Just be sure you have your own power cable available otherwise you cannot play the game ?

By the way i understood that mmr will be the last game that is made by Stern. The next remake (afm and later mb) will be made completely by CGC. Apparently this will speed up everything and will lead to less delays (we will see about that in the next year). Also the price of the new remake will be lower than MMR. This because the platform is now fully developped and afm is a cheaper game to make. However we will see about that as well.

I was worried as well however after unpacking the game i can only say it looks and plays fantastic. As mentioned many times before some problems are made much bigger then they are (by a loud minority on this forum) and this is sort of spoiling the experience for the normal collectors. I want my game to be perfect but i don't check every part with a microscope and wrap it in a blanket after use. I think 99% of the owners think the game looks absolutely stunning.

In regards to the playfield i agree 100%. Defect playfields should not have been send out. My ink is dark enough for me however compared to an original mm it could have been better. I think the leds and the insert choice are mostly to blame.

However there have been some minor issues that were taken out of proportion a lot. For example the coin mechs, trim color (mustard poop?), display issues, etc. I've ordered my game on day one and i have been on the fence to cancel many times because of the negativity however i'm glad i didn't. I've been on pinside for a long time however i feel that in the past years a very small group of individuals are trying to focus on the bad stuff instead of the enjoyments of our hobby.

CGC should spend more time on customer service I'm an entrepeneur as well with my own manufacturing company and solving customer issues is the best relationship tool available. We sometimes deliver faulty products as well however as a supplier you need to solve it the best you can. Solving a customers' problems will keep them buying from you. Ignoring them is certainly the wrong way to get more business. I as well have big questions in regards to this strategy from CGC.

I also think the distributors should support their customers more in relation to serious product issues. Nobody here buys directly from CGC therefore it is wrong to think that we should directly complain with CGC. This is the distributors job they have power and they should offer this support.
