Medieval Madness parts and newly-designed CGC parts (electronics and lighting systems).

While this Limited Edition game has appeared at pinball shows as early as March 2014, those games likely were prototypes. The earliest date we have found for this game being shipped to buyers is March 2015. If anyone has an earlier shipping date, please contact us.
