Quoted from kcZ:I heard they were going to skip 4 and move to 5.
Which machines are next that you are referring too? 4 and 5? I haven't been on the boards in a while but was able to secure a MBLE.

I paid mine off last week as well and not news to the ship date I'm not on the matching number system.
Inquiring minds dumb question here. Is anyone adding any other protections to their MBLE right out of the box, Shooting lane, play field, etc??
Quoted from vwallat99:I'm getting tired of the empty spot in my gameroom.. Anybody in the unmatched category get any word? I talked with Sara briefly and they said they would have a better idea later in the week. Anyone in the matching category still waiting on their game??
Quoted from monte_:I have a matching le from pps on order. Still waiting. I am in 500’s. I am in no rush.
I talked with my dist on Friday and he said they are still building the matching number pins and would have a better idea later this week. I don't know where I'm at in the random MBLE pool. I sold my last pin to purchase the MBLE so I feel your pain!
Quoted from Pinballocd:Well my thought was get payment in ASAP and get in the front of the line. I’m #4 in line on non matching LE according to PPS.
I paid my down payment to secure mine and then paid the balance hoping for the same thing. Wishful thinking on my part I guess I was hoping for a Christmas Present
Quoted from seenev:How many of the 1250 LEs are part of the number matching program?
My dist told me there was 260 being made in the matching program then they would start building the rest.
Quoted from CGC-Ryan:Happy New Year's Everybody.
I wanted to give everybody a quick update as to what is going on here at Chicago Gaming Company.
We are in production currently on the Monster Bash Limited Edition Serial Number matching games. We are working hard to get them completed to start our standard Monster Bash Limited Edition Production run. As you know we are committed to delivering the highest quality in all of our products, so we are taking a little extra time to ensure that every game is up to the quality that we demand.
We also have released a software update for all current Monster Bash games already delivered.
This update can be found here: https://www.chicago-gaming.com/coinop/monster-bash/update
This version includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
1) Reprocessed audio to increase volume.
2) Fixed bug where custom logo would revert to default over a power cycle.
I want to thank everybody for all the support and wish everybody a Happy New Year
Thanks for the information I'm hoping they have flushed out all the quirks by the time I get my MBLE.
Quoted from indypinhead:I'm waiting on my MBrLE too
Purchased through PPS
I was told last week that my machine should ship with a batch that's being shipped tomorrow. I haven't received the shipping email though.
Who is PPS and where are they located?
Quoted from Captain-Flint:total noob question but what does that mean?
It's for people that have multiple LE machines and they get all their machines with matching numbers.
Quoted from Zablon:They can take their time. I want a quality product, not a rushed product.
Ditto
Quoted from ShinyBall:I had to buy both..be careful.
I'm in on both LE's and might get my MunstersLE before my MBLE
Quoted from jbug:What's weird about Munsters for me is I like the Pro's back glass art better than the others but it doesn't have the lower playfield. Also, I like the Premium's side cabinet art better than the other 2 editions but would want it in full color. The cabinet artwork on the LE is the worst to me and I'm not 100% sold on the b&w either premium. Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes. I still would like to get one and it would probably be the premium. Munsters would look nice next to the MBR
I agree here I really like the Pro look but wanted to get on the LE and the lower playfield. The warden likes the LE and Pro but was on the fence about the Prem so to justify getting another NIB pin I just got in on the LE.
My first NIB pins I purchased I got a deal on from the dist I used(and I picked it up so I didn't have any shipping) I saw this on a link someone posted and wonder if any of you out there have gotten prices like shown? MBLE and Munsters LE went so fast they both went for MSRP
Munster price (resized).pngQuoted from bigd1979:Prices are much cheaper than the msrp... especially the pro..
Even on the LE's?
Quoted from CGC-Ryan:I want to provide a quick update on Monster Bash production. First off, I apologize for the delays in LE production.
As many of you know, we manufacture all of our playfields in house. Each MB playfield is carefully hand silk screened with ten spot colors. This is how the original playfields were manufactured. The spot colors create a color spectrum far richer and wider than what can be produced using four-color process. Each playfield we produce is a unique handcrafted piece of art with its own unique characteristics.
I believe we are the only pinball machine manufacturer still utilizing spot colors on our playfields. Some have moved away from screen printing altogether and now digitally print their playfields in four-color process. Digitally printing is certainly more consistent and far less expensive but it comes with certain compromises.
We are trying to keep the bar as high as possible and not compromise quality. I believe with few exceptions the playfields we have shipped in every Monster Bash have been beautiful. We do hold even higher standards for playfields going into LEs. To date, our production has yielded less LE worthy playfields than we hoped. As a result, we have produced more SEs and CEs than originally scheduled (and less LEs).
We have made several changes in the screen printing process and we are finally seeing much improved results. These results are starting to allowing us to move more quickly through production of LEs.
The number of people participating in our serial number matching program far exceeded our expectations - there were 246 participants in total.
We are anticipating completing all domestic serial number matching program LEs by February 1, 2019. After that we will focus on the balance of domestic and international LEs.
I want to thank everyone for their support and allowing us to do work that we love.
Thanks for the update I’m willing to wait for a superior quality LE then have any issues
Quoted from MERGatroid:Hello everyone. Looking for some thoughts about weather to get a munsterspro or monster bash so. Seeing people selling Munster pro and le in 1 week. I have a aerosmith pro I love and looking to add to my collection. I love old horror movies. I was a little kid when munsters came out. So both are great themes to me.
Get Both!
Quoted from the4Orr:MBrLE in da house!!!! Sorry @bublehead, you have lost another comrade in waiting, your ranks are thinning Got the call late yesterday. Today we picked it up and it is now gracing our home with it's presence in a place of honour next to our #CFTBL. No real cosmetic issues...the "m" on "Blisterine Mouth Wash" is not complete as some others have stated and we also had the same issue as @steve-o with our leg bolts seeming like they were cross threading. It seems the holes are slightly off centre and was causing the bolts to get hung up on the metal brackets. We loosened the brackets and readjusted their positioning slightly and it helped quite a bit. A couple bolts were still tight to be sure. Other than that the cabinet is pretty much perfect, no decal problems, no powder coat scratches, no flipper problems and no topper problems. Had a few good games with pitch set at CGC recommendation. The light show is awesome and it sounds really good! We will add things and tweak a bit here and there but right out of the box this is SWEET! Sorry for the crappy pic's

Congrats! Nice line up! Bublehead I'm still waiting on mine so I feel you!
Quoted from Halfwasted:I would rather them take their time with my LE and make it as best as they can get it, than rush out a game with issues.
Keep up the good work CGC!
I got my Cliffy package today for MBLE and Munsters LE and I'm still patiently waiting to hear on MBLE.
Quoted from vwallat99:How many people are still waiting on their LE's?? Would have thought it would be nearly finished by now
I'm still waiting as well I haven't been on the boards for a while hoping I'd get the email that mine was on the way but no luck yet.
Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:I’d like to simply play mine ... still waiting.
I got an email this week saying mine should be shipping next week! I haven't been on the boards in months. I hope they got all the kinks worked out to make the wait worth it!
