Nashville, TN
Would I be unpopular if I posted my opinion that there are people on here with stable play fields thousands of plays later after bulletproofing ? I will add myself to this club once mine arrives. I know it's not what people want or expect, me included, and extra work bulletproofing doesn't appear to be avoidable but the issues do appear to be preventable proven by those on pinside that follow the bulletproofing... and like thousands of others, I want this pin! So go in eyes wide open and expectations set properly. Will it affect future purchases for JJP? Undoubtedly yes. So some of you can sleep better at night knowing it does affect their reputation but so far not their sales. I've seen plenty of people on here post they decided to cancel their order because of it. Their pin will just go to somebody else. JJP monetarily will be left unfazed in the shuffle.
Quoted from Ashram56:This comment is exactly a demonstration that JJP is absolutely right to continue down this path: whatever they do, they will always find people ready to buy, whatever the quality level. So they improve their margin, customer get lower quality products but are still fine with it.
Until JJP is hurt where it matters, ie their wallet, they have absolutely no incentive to change their behaviour. And unfortunately, I believe that while the majority of those reading this thread (with a few notable exceptions) will avoid JJP in the future, many others either don't read this thread or simply don't care, and will not really worry about it.
You're right. The many others that don't read the thread or don't care or don't worry about it should be emphasized as many, many more others.
Otherwise known as the majority.
Coming up on a year later since release JJP still working on getting through producing and shipping October orders with current LE. Amazing.
Numbers on license plates just now breaking into the 2000s on the line which is approaching half of their planned 5,000 production In a little less than a year.
It just indicates the staggering amount of orders they have received in October alone. It looks to be that with some fuzzy math they will have enough orders to reach 5,000 on this pin since JJP announced playfields will be available for purchase at the end of the run they estimated to be summer of 2022 which is about a year from now.
If they do reach 5,000, Is this a record? Has any other pin been set at a 5,000 unit run and completed it? Maybe a newb question, dunno.
