    To be fair, I think Eddy's games with the exception of The Shadow are pretty much copycat layouts that for whatever reason have been overrated to say the least. Elwin should be put in Gomez's shoes and lead the design dept. and headhunt new talent and George should go ahead and take the reigns of Stern, it's about time for uncle Gary to retire IMHO.

    Quoted from Diospinball:

    With any luck in a year or two maybe Brian Eddy's name could be added to this list. I mean the guy only designed a handful of pins so far. But, he made three all time classics... So lets hope he can keep his streak intact and make it 4.

    Yeah, he's a huge fan of old school SS games like Seawitch, Skateball and the like and it really shows, not to mention the man is using the lateral space on a PF to brilliant effect! Imagine what he could do with a few years to work on a game like he did with Archer/Maiden? In an interview on a podcast (think it was loser kid) he states that he more or less came up with JP in 3 months! Insane.

    Quoted from Vino:

    Elwin is at the top.
    Takes the Stern BOM and makes gold with it.
