    There is definitely some weight to what you're trying to say, but keep in mind that things have probably been much worse. I would imagine that in the late 1990s, when pins weren't flying off the shelves, that a lot of things at Bally/Williams flew under the radar because Pinside didn't exist - and the enthusiast market basically didn't either. At least we have other manufacturers making pins even if it is taking a little longer than expected. You completely forgot to mention anything positive like the fact that we've had more new pins available to purchase last year than probably any previous year for 40 years. It seems to me Pinside can be like when a plane crashes - it happens rarely, but, when it does, everyone knows about it.
