Have ordered 4 - 2 MM, 1 AFM and 1 TAF.

Went through Bay Area Amusements for the MM, Planetary Pinball for the AFM and direct through the ColorDMD website for the TAF. All arrived safe and sound.

Not much difference in shipping between them - around $70 mark insured.

It will also depend on who currently has stock of the version you want.

Cheers for the info mate, i will be getting in a Wh20 as soon as they are available

Get an account signed up at all 3 websites if you haven't done so already - the FIRST RUN of every colordmd released so far has always sold out very quickly (and it is usually a 2-3 month gap before the next run)

My experience:

Colordmd has the most stock on hand but also the most traffic competing for one so can be hard to time it right to throw one in your cart with everyone else trying to add one to their cart at the same time.
BAA - has limited stock but better chances of securing one.
Planetary - even more limited in stock but it is the site that just about everyone overlooks/forgets about at the time so it is much easier to just log in, throw one into your cart and you are done. Hint Hint  #@#

Also, the time zone factor - release times are US and they have always been late night early morning releases for Aus time (past midnight). So set your alarm clock!  ^^^

Just got this email from Color DMD, Just thought i would drop it here for anyone interested


May Production Release Announced!
ColorDMD Displays is excited to announce our May Production Release for Thursday, May 2 at 8:30AM PST!  We are pleased to release two new products for the ColorDMD platform.
SIGMA - An advanced single-color cisplay featuring customer selection from 49 different color hues and 3 different display effects including classic dots, HD upscaling, and scan lines.  SIGMA is compatible with WPC/WPC95 games.
White Water - Our 5th multicolor display since our first product release in April 2012!
We recently announced that beginning with our May release, all ColorDMD displays will support customer software conversions among any of our supported library of SIGMA and multicolor ROMS.

Unlike prior releases, the standard shipping configuration for all ColorDMD products in our May release will be the new SIGMA ROM, as demonstrated on Twilight Zone at the Texas Pinball Festival earlier this year.  Product descriptions in our store and support pages will be updated with links to download firmware for easy conversion from the standard configuration to any of our supported multicolor ROMs.

Previously sold displays are also eligible for software conversion, but require request of a new product key from our website.  An upcoming announcement in May will provide instructions on how to request an updated product key for your display.

Thank you for your continued support!
The ColorDMD Team

Based on the last releases they will both show up once Rick (the owner of both websites) updates it later on.

He usually makes a post on rgp as well just after doing so, so you can check there as well.

If you are really keen just keep checking at regular intervals today and you might get lucky with an early website update, but especially tonight as it gets closer to the "official" release time.

Me too!

Forget lcd, color displays will do me just fine thanks.
These displays are just amazing and well worth the money, they breath new life into your game. Once you buy the new dmd you can add any game on the list to it though usb.
I hope they add more titles to the list very soon.
