Reading about all these rumors, sell out of many BBBs, do you think BBBR will be done or not?

I think this forum should go on for owners of BBBs.

No matter if they are original or aftermarket buyers as herein are a lot of informations about BBB which could be interesting.

A lot from the history, the making and troubleshooting.

I am just looking once a week or so here in this forum to check if any news.

But if there is a re-run, this would not be the forum for it.

Edit: just saw that Rick bought all the stuff from IPB. So hopefully some news soon!

it's too bad to see IPB stop his activity
i go in usa for the 30th pinball expo and i'm very disapointed with this information. Gene , Kim, Kati , Tami are really nice
Bloomington will be always in my dream the best area for pinball history

the only good repro is BBB, not the lowcost MMr for only making $$$
if i want a repro, i know a guy here who has already making 7 MM

Well at least parts will be available, new plastic sets, decals.

The remake will not be a exact replica of the originals or the first remakes. Like MMR it will be drastically changed which will never be as desirable as an original. But it will hit the prices big time.

My inside tract says NO! I know people that are thinking of doing it and could possibly pull it off after they do another couple of projects. I'm guessing that PP does CC and/or AFM after MM. Capcom would require too much re-engineering and those games would be a LOT easier for PP to make (especially AFM).

TPF have said that it was not releasing BBB due to intensive computing power!? Would that not be the same for a remake!?

I would like for this site to stay open as it is a source for troubleshooting and advice.

Plenty of negatives for a remake, but plenty of upside for a remake.

There are people that can get past the "Intensive Computing Power"; I know them personally. Actually, that would be the least of the worries for the people I know that would consider this. AND, I know that Stan has already been contacted (maybe because I did it, and maybe not). But I know nothing is in the immediate future, at least from the people I know. Again - keep this off Pinside.

I'm pretty sure that Robert will admit anyone that proves they own one.
