Done? - No
Limited production going forward? - Yes

I think Jack's changing his business model to compete on a more price sensitive basis. Reduced SE pricing on Wonka is said to be targeted at operators, but will also strongly gain HUO purchasers and overall marketshare. Compound this with JJPs target of releasing 2 new titles per year and I feel past models (POTC, Dailed In, etc) production going forward will be limited. Demand on the new upcoming titles, particularly with offerings at lower pricing, will likely have Jack scrambling to balance production with demand and possibly in the not so distant future looking at a larger manufacturing facility. If Wonka, JJP#6, and JJP#7 are strong demand titles and profitable I can't see too strong of a focus spent on producing POTC or other existing titles.
