Quoted from mbeardsley:
Jim said they have two lines going now.
I assume that one is doing CCr, and the other is doing PF.
That would free up a line to do the MMr run when CCr is complete.

Who knows? they have about a 1000 CCR's to build, and 2000 PF's to build at 30-40 games per week, which is almost 17-23 months of builds. This assumes CGC doesn't have design or parts problems, which they are famous for. Fitting in an MMR build will only set back PF or CCR deliveries, which I guess could happen, but seems unlikely as CGC has their hands full

I don't know for fact.

I would assume CCR on both lines, with hiring and training more people to assemble. Then MMR on both lines, and later maybe change one to start PF and train then full steam ahead on both lines for PF.

Today I learned that movie copywrites last for 95 years in the US, and that even though some of those creatures (e.g. Frankenstein) were invented before that, Universal owns their "version" of the monster (what we think of as Frankenstein). Interesting. In the next decade or so I guess all of those copywrites expire though so maybe we can see some interesting adaptations or uses of those characters!

Yeah, that's not necessarily a good thing. I can't say that the world is a better place now that we have "Serial Killer Winnie-the-Pooh".

I really wonder if there's any market for remakes once you get away from the '90s Williams Bally? Look at the Fathom remake by Haggis. Now given they are a startup company in Australia. I wonder how many more would have sold if it had been Chicago gaming instead?

There are so many great Gottlieb layouts begging for modern code/rules. Stop making 2.0 kits for games that were already good. Someone make the full layout of Gladiators worth playing. Make SF2 with actual game art, sounds, music and a modicum of scoring balance.

If you are going to remake Gottlieb games, I would think Haunted House would be high on the list. Preferably with new rules and Multi-ball.

OTOH, I'm just hoping they are still doing another run of MMr-SE.

But they are only manufacturing Pulp Fiction, it's not their game.

So a CGC designed original would be something we haven't seen before (looks like maybe they tried 20 years ago?)

You must have a very generous bank. Especially how many games you'd have to sell to pay back tens of millions.

And ramp up takes time. They added a second line. Hiring and training people, especially for assembly, isn't easy. Look how many people Stern lost on their last move. Not everybody wants to travel across Chicago for assembly work.

CGC's working at it.

Anything additional in the rumor mill concerning the final limited run of MMr? Since CGC is still working feverishly to get out all of the CCrs and then they've got Pulp Fiction I'm trying to figure out when they would fit in the final MMr run. To the extent they are now running two lines I suppose they could potentially squeeze in MMr in the near term but I'm not getting my hopes up. Anyone have any intel from Ryan White that sheds any light on current timeframe?
