OK... Here is my take on the subject. 1st, I like the JJP product. I drank the koolaid. BUT it so far is a fine tasting flavor. Except for the delivery portion. But now you know about me and my position.

So, here is my opinion (and that is all it is, so silly for me to think anyone cares, but I don't spend my day facebooking, instead I enjoy the people here and thoroughly enjoy it at that.)... and my opinion relates to is Jack going to build this or that and do this or that.

First: Jack is NOT building the product. He is the 'President' of the company, the majority shareholder( as far as I know), and many, many other people are involved. It is entertaining to keep reading about how Jack will build this quality or on time knowing that there is no way any ONE man can do all of this.

However, he is in charge. He is THE one that is going to take the fall if someone out on the floor f*cks up and breaks a toe, or workers comp. takes him out of the business of making the machines that we all love. He is the ONE and ONLY that will pay the price if insurance or the government decides that the company f*cked up and will nolonger be allowed to operate.

He is the one that MUST decide who the Vice President is, the accounting dept. employs, the vendor acquisition employs, the etc, etc. etc... and the guy that employs me to build something along the way. And MUST make sure that somehow we all as employees get paid. (thru financing, investor relations, etc.)

I hope the best for Jack. Sometimes I wish I was him (as I love this hobby), Sometimes I'm glad I'm not him (as I am in business as well.).

But, I wish the best for the company... JJP.

OK... I've got to jump in on this.

As the original post was how many will be shipped by Jan 1st......

It was interesting reading everybody's responses and how quickly it got off of the topic or interest in the amount of pinball machines will be shipped.

so.... my only comment is:

I hope a lot! I hope there will be many for all of us to play at friends and family...

And most of all. I hope there will be at least ONE for me to play at the pinball expo that I attend every year in March!

(I know I'm just thinking about myself, but I look forward to it... and if it is up to my expectations then I will buy it!)......

Yeah!.... looking forward to the expo in March!
