Wow that is a nice piece. Please at least spend some good money and have it framed and hang it in a game room/den. Thank you for sharing!

It doesn't have a MM. ArcadeShock.com acquired exclusive rights to produce some SNK artwork, namely a few MVS kit MMs that weren't normally sold like this outside of AS.

So basically the MM you get with this http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/sn...lug-4-mvs-kit-w-mini-marquee-ms4-m-detail.htm isn't "officially" available from any other retail source (I think). This was the case with a few other titles referenced in Lee's letter but what makes this sheet perceived as rare is 1) it's uncut and 2) ArcadeShock didn't end up releasing a licensed MM for Matrimelee. You can see the breakdown of actual numbers on the letter.

But in general, you are correct. MS4 didn't have a MM.

The kit without the mm is still a full kit too as stated it was only made by SNK USA for ArcadeShock kits.

An article by ArcadeShock is still in the works with more details on this piece.

If anyone is looking for a Matrimelee mini, I know these are kinda cool because they are officially licensed, but in my opinion these were always pretty weak design wise. This is the one our mini marquee thread came up with a few years ago.

Pretty sure I passed the original PDFs along to someone, not sure who though.

Do you happen to have the PDF for this? I like this one and would like to get it printed
