Huh? That's not how it works (sometimes amazed at what is written here). You make a product, and then you put it into UL testing to get certified that it is safe - nobody has sold us anything ... you cannot put anything into UL and 'change it' afterwards, otherwise you have to rerun it thru UL ... why not bash all the companies who did not put their game thru UL as opposed to us who has (and Stern and JJP that I know of).

UL is where you go when the game is 'done', and then there is a WHOLE bunch of evaluation and then lab testing (they short everything, pour liquids on it, cut things open, try to knock it over, etc). During the process they communicate with the vendor to get clarification, note any issues which need to be fixed (ex: putting additional insulation on a wire, or separating one wire a little farther from another, and I'm sure just about anything they think is a safety issue). If the changes can be made while the machine is in test, then that is the best way, and I do believe that if there is a 'major' issue then that needs to be fixed and then some portion of the testing has to resume once the correction is made.

yes, we are doing more titles, we will figure out the price point and quantity on the upcoming titles as we get closer ... but I'm sure we can adjust what we need to do make multiple titles work out fine.

Guilty of PWD (pinsiding while drunk) ... isn't there a penalty for that Kim?

The things you can get from Kim once he has a little alcohol in his system ...

It's funny, as at odd times I go thru the WMS IP disks that I have and have found several playfield designs which were on the drawing board which were never made for one reason or the other. In deference to the designer I will probably try to connect with them, but would be cool to share what 'could have been' ...

there won't be a clearance as we will not make many more (nor need to) than we have sold ... so I think this should keep resale prices higher vs lower ...

There is demand and we already have sales to resellers for standard ... again, you can pervert my point, which was we will sell what we have orders for. MMR's are just fine.

i don't care about re-sale prices (as i can't predict them) - i'm just saying that we are not going to be flooding a market beyond what people are buying - which generally reduces the opportunity for prices to drop drastically (i.e. the original comment about clearance which only happens when you make more than there is demand).

PPS #2 and beyond will include CGC, they are our partner, have made significant hardware investment in a platform which will support #2 and beyond. There is no need to speculate as we have a multi-game agreement that we are planning to move forward on.

yes, manipulation is the rule on pinside - stuff if made up every day just to get reactions out of pinsiders ... and usually works ... lol

fyi ... it may be that I have ignore turned on for less than a handful of people, which makes pinside a much better experience, so if I don't respond to you that's probably the reason
