it's nice too hear from the coder/developer which we have with TNA. While the code is solid already Scott is still tweaking and adding some stuff and even taking feedback and suggestions from the community. I am sure it's a headache in a way and can understand why the established companies like Stern might not want to get involved. But TNA has been a great pin to own and Scott being involved on Pinside has been nothing bit positive. No one attacks him or gets too worked up. I don't see how this would work with Stern if the programers are not willing to fix bugs for instance. It helps that TNA has a compact tight code.

I believe it's a mutual benefit for Scott/TNA where Scott can talk/discuss with the community and in return I'm sure Pinside is a major (major) sourse of sales for his pin. More than half of all TNA pins are listed in collections on Pinside not to mention there are likely more in our collections that are not listed because some people don't list.

Dwight coded PotC and it's solid with good mix of easy and hard goals, good use of callouts and lighting etc..

I agree, deep and complex pins are great (TWD, Tspp, Woz, LotR, AcDc) but fairly simple rules like AFM, Tron, IM, TNA, CFTBL can be great too (etc.) Pins don't need to be super deep or complex to be great.
