This machine uses a far more complicated silkscreen than other games. Also silkscreen is more art than engineering.

I kinda feel like this playfield is their "hold my beer" moment.

I am an October deposit thru Cointaker and am still waiting too.

Monster Bash LE: October deposit day that Chicago Gaming announced next Remake will be MB. Paid in Full February 8 and waiting................
The Munsters LE: January Deposit paid on Munsters LE. Paid in Full for Munsters on February 21. Munster LE delivered on March 10.

I finally had my MBrLE delivered yesterday, Sunday. May 13, by OC Pinballs in SoCal. Shout out to Evan and Michael for a Five Star job delivering and setting it up and hanging out to make sure everything was working properly. It was so nice to not have to deal with unreliable and careless shippers or to miss a day(s) of work. Been there, done that on my first pin, never again. After playing a dozen games on it, I can confidently say it was well worth the wait. Just too bad the people at Chicago Gaming do not see the importance of communication with their customers/distributors when they encounter problems that contribute to 1 to 6 month delays. It's not like we are going to storm their plant with torches, rakes and lawn aerators in hand, if they post that they're waiting for components from their suppliers of only the highest quality for a Limited Edition. I think British historian, Northcote Parkinson, summed it up best when he wrote; "The void created by the failure to communicate is soon filled with poison, drivel and misrepresentation."

I only hope that my fellow pinsiders still waiting for their MBrLE's; receive them very soon and are as happy with their games as I am with mine.

I think I’ll be joining the wait list soon. I’m torn between MMr and MBrLE. Think I’ll go with the LE and get a MMr later.

I have both great remakes. I'd go with the MBrLE.

I know it’s been mentioned before on Pinside, but I believe the MB playfield is the most technically challenging of all pinball 10+ individual screens amongst other challenges.

Does anyone know if the next batch of MMr come with the larger screen and improved graphics?

I dont think they silkscreen anything anymore. It's all digital print as far as I know.

I think a pinsider asked CGC about the delays in production and the silkscreening was one of the reasons given. I believe it was bubblehead that asked.

That would be great if I'm wrong.
Silkscreen looks so much better.
I know stern, jjp, and spooky all use digital print playfields.

All of the remakes have silkscreened playfields just like the originals.

I was contacted last week saying that my MBremakeLE, is being shipped one day this week. Still have not been contacted by the shipping company on an arrival date. Still waiting, but hopefully real soon.....

Mine was received yesterday. No longer in the wait club! Beautiful game!

I know it’s easy for me to say as I,m not waiting on a machine but a long wait is OK with me as long as the build quality is top notch. Build quality will always be top priority for me. That being said I hope everyone gets their machines soon.

Your not going to believe it, as I can't believe it myself, but it finally arrived yesterday! Number is under 400, so they are all over the place. Built like a tank, much better than the original. Easy set up, no problems found. So much faster, hard to get a high score, but after playing it all day, I killed the other games in the row when I let others play it. Everyone hang in there, it's well worth the wait! :0)

I am happy for those getting their games now but who had to wait even longer than me, because at this point, as a day 1 ordered, non # matched LE waitee and it is half way through May would put it at over half a year wait. After getting it, and playing it, I think I could have waited till Christmas 2019, having enjoyed it now for over 500 plays... between 2 people. I think all of 5 games have NOT been played by the wife and I, but thinking about it just now, its only had 2 other people play it for all of 3 games total. Knock the new off? Hells to the yeah, but just me and the wife for now

Ordered one thru PPS yesterday. Shouldn’t take to long to get once I send in payment.

Good luck with that. I ordered one back in March (paid in full), dealer was told I would have it in a couple of weeks, havn't got it yet.

I hear you. Dealer had one in stock ready to go.

Ever get a really long spam email and wonder what python script assembled that all together?

I may have you beat. I ordered mine and provided down payment on 10/23 and paid in full on 12/28. Still waiting...

Ordered 10/21 still waiting almost 7 months, waited 18 months for MMRLE that over 2 years waiting on GCG.

just got a bill for remaining funds owed. I assume game is in. will call him tomorrow to find out

Woot woot! I just heard that mine will ship tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! I hope to be exiting this club soon (before the holiday weekend would be swell!)!

Dear god, I hope mine is close to being made.

Mine is sitting at the local terminal. Need to call and schedule delivery.

My MBrSE in a container on a boat somewhere between the US and Rotterdam since about 3 weeks !! Then it will be shipped by road to Switzerland... that’s a hell of a journey for the monsters! I hope I will receive it in a few days! And CGC even sent some pictures of the container before they shipped it

Beginning to wonder who will get 1,250 of 1,250...

I guess I wouldn't mind if mine ended up being the last one - but the wait is getting agonizing. Pinball is awesome over the winter, but once we get to summer I'm going to want to be outside! The cold season is way too long in the Great White North up here!

Mine is scheduled to come today. Hopefully no issues.

Great news guys. You do know that CGC sends parts, etc. to Stern, and Stern builds them, and ships them. I saw this on a video tour of plant. MB's on Stern assembly line. Who knew.

Really? You have actually seen video of MBr on Stern’s factory line? That would be truly amazing if it was true (at all?) Stern built the first MMr for CGC, but now CGC builds their own machines. Stern used to buy their cabinets from Churchill Cabinet which is what CGC is a subsidy of, but they had a falling out over MM production troubles, and so Stern told them suck wind, and started building their own cabinets. Last I heard, CGC MBr’s rolled off CGC’s line, not Stern’s, unless CGC paid Stern recently to help them out of their production delay.

Seems like a lot of LEs shipped suddenly. I would guess either Stern started helping them or cgc dropped their LE quality standards to finish the run.

We are manufacturing our games 100% in house now. We have been doing that since Medieval Madness Standard Edition. All Attack from Mars Remakes and Monster Bash Remakes are built inside of CGC. We are not compromising quality at all, but have worked diligently to solve some of the playfield screening issues that plagued the run.

Since the playfield is the backbone of the game, we wanted to make sure that they came out as good or better than the original games. We still manufacture the playfields in house and screen each one individually creating a unique piece of art in each and every game that we ship. If a playfield does not meet our standards, it is simply rejected and never built.

Congrats!

Still waiting and no news.

Delivery is scheduled for me tomorrow afternoon! I can't believe i'm finally getting my machine after this l-o-n-g wait!!!!

Congrats! Hope everything will be fine and you'll have lots of fun.

Huh !

Finally played one of these last week. Actually 2. Seems like every pinball place in Denver has managed to get theirs but still no word on mine.

I think he said why not get a BOP 2.0 instead, he helped test it and he loves that one. But then my French fails me after that.
