Quoted from drfrightner:

I was at IAAPA and talked to Jack and I'm not going to say what he told me so I'll just say this... why can't more people use their spider sense or common sense? Toy Story 4 will release June 21st, 2019. Do you really think they're going to release Toy Story before the HYPE of the film. BTW Tom Hanks owns pinball machines as well... so I'm thinking if we use common sense Toy Story is a summer game not a spring game. Furthermore if you're speculating that the next game is NOT a wide body, then I would again use common sense to say Toy Story would be a wide body collector type game.
Furthermore if we use common sense JJ has been working on releasing Pirates for well over a year and a half. So lets think about that for a second ... have you ever heard the saying its possible to walk and chew gum? So if we used common sense wouldn't it make sense that JJ was trying to finalize Pirates while working on 2 maybe even 3 other titles at the same time? So with that being said then Toy Story would seem to be a game that you'd try and finish by Summer 2019 and whatever other title they would release would be out late spring like at the Texas Pinball Festival March 2019.
So my guess would be they probably have been working on a couple other titles while trying to finish Pirates. If they're to ONLY release ONE pinball game clearly Toy Story summer 2019. If you think they might be in the home stretch of another game within 3 or 4 months I would bet against Toy Story.
I'm merely using common sense here and Jersey Jack has to create more machines faster, so I'm guessing two or more games are in the works just like at Stern. As for Guns and Roses if they do that game I would bet that is a standard pinball game and that to could be nearing completion who knows. I'm just using common sense here to figure this out not based on anything Jack said to people at IAAPA.
The big themes like Toy Story, Harry Potter or anything else big will probably get the wide body, while other titles will get a standard. At the end of the day these companies have to make a profit, so turning out more games faster is probably on JJ radar I would guess. I'm thinking with the success of Dialed In that you'll see a mix of wide body and standard going foward. That is my guess.
JJ in my view makes the best themed games on the planet. So if they make Toy Story, Willy Wonka, Guns N Roses, or somehow gets their hands on Harry Potter which I'm sure they will...awesome right?
Too bad JJ couldn't have been the one to do Star Wars right?
So whatever their next game is if its coming out this spring I would bet against Toy Story because that movie isn't until June 2019. You'd want to release that game during or after the wave of Toy Story media. Now that is only common sense.

Quoted from Hammerhead:

The podcast that shall not be named says no JJP reveal at TPF.

Quoted from TheLaw:

The theme of WOZ never bothered me and I defended the concept for a long time; but for me when it came out it was just too much. Maybe if it wasn't for the over the top colored light stuff it could pass but the entire package is is just so over the top I can't take it. For s a lot of people that's exactly what they love but for me it's too Farfalla2K

that's what I said at 7K! Then 7.5....8...etc. Obviously we'll have to wait and see though.

Quoted from DCFAN:

By most reports and rumors/speculation, JJP has been losing a lot of money. I guess they can continue with that business plan for a while longer, but how much longer? Also, carguments don't work here. JJP does not have an automated manufacturing process with many decades of reputation building and a wide range of buyers. Wonka will sell some by theme/name alone, but if they stay in the highest range of pricing without offering a competitive premium version (they call it a Standard version) then sales will still disappoint (just not as much as POTC) because Wonka is more beloved by more pinball people than POTC.

Quoted from KingPinGames:

I 100% guarentee (kaneda style) that MGC will be an amazing show! We (kingpin) have roughly a 3600 sqft booth. Cant wait to see how we fill it up. If that's not true I'll give Hilton a hug.

Quoted from frankmac:

Not for nothing but I might be helpful if JJP does not put steal trim on standards .
Try a color or black even.

Quoted from delt31:

Always appreciate your input here. It seems like Stern doesn't follow this approach - they have set prices regardless of the IP, bill of materials. Would you agree?

Quoted from scruffypinball:

But I want to buy it now![quoted image]

Quoted from pipes:

When did JJP or anyone else ever state that there is a standard body price and widebody price for their games? You're the only one I recall ever mentioning that. You literally just made that up, lol....and then argued with distributors about it. That was fun.
