Quoted from doughslingers:

I would not be out of the JPop pins if it wasnt for the sudden end of the 100 year old film business. We were promised a few more years and then the US bankruptcy judge said no more film business for Kodak and they were the only ones left. They were even makimng money since Fuji dropped out. Now I have no way to show the movie. I had help with the movie studios for the 9 at the indoor but nothing for drive in theatres. Its gets even more expensive with 3 phase power and internet requirements. I have had to sell many good pins to keep cash flow going. I just had to take out terrible leasing with a dollar buyout. this 70k equipment is going to cost me over 110k for 60 months. Not many options for drive in theatres so financing companies consider it a legal risk. I spoke with John and he undertands. I even left late from expo to sit with him in the lobby. I so want the pins but not at the expense of thsi buisness open since 1952. I would hate to be the one who killed it in my 9th year of ownership. I have had the games here since 1980 so its been fun for what seems like a lifetime. If I had won the national contest that many of you tried to help vote free all would be ok mostly.
