Quoted from Thunderbird:JJP is done and their next release will prove it. People are tired of losing money from selling on the 2nd hand market. Limited 1k POTC is the only seller on the 2nd hand market to garner a gain and even it basically did not sell at all until collectors realized its no longer being made. Have never seen a company so hell bent on destroying themselves from the inside. Stupid decision after stupid decision never ceases from JJP. Current pricing is the dumbest decision they’ve ever made, plus leaving off all the plastics collectors, not pinball players are looking for.
Stern did not follow suit till moron Disney boy became the Pres then CEO just after 1 year being introduced into pinball. He’s a proven idiot. Did you see his non professional FF presentation??? There will be a day of reckoning for Stern too, if they stay on this path of higher and higher pricing on PRE/LEs. Seth is not being talked about by many yet, but he basically helped destroy Disney with everything he touched and mark my word he’ll do it to Stern too. Just give him enough rope. He’s not a pinballer and does not get the vibe we all understand about this business. He’ll do just like Ron Johnson did to JC Penny when he became CEO after leaving Apple, destroy it. It’s been a gravy train during pinball’s great awakening so all the many blatant stupid decisions have not born their ugly heads yet. Just wait history will repeat, just as it has always done in pinball when companies get super greedy.
They cannot or should not ever run their business model based on the few leach scalpers out there. Giving value for money is the only business model that has ever sustained itself in history.
This feels like a Southern Baptist sermon
