I'm very excited for Pat's new game. I was in on The Hobbit but dropped out due to not being a fan of the layout. The good thing about that is I may be able to swing purchasing one of Pat's games. I hope it has the craziness (shots, toys, etc) of games like TZ, TAF, RBION and WOZ. However, I'm a little worried about the price. It seems like $8k is the new base price for a JJP game. If Pat's game comes out over $7500 I'll just wait to buy a used one. That's already crazy money to spend on a pin. $8k-$10k is far too much for myself and I don't think home owners and operators will buy games at those prices long term.

I hope that JJP considers an LE or SE for Pats game in the 200-400 game range. 1000 and 1500 LE games isn't really limited.

Goronic and I are still working on the book at the moment. We still need to complete interviews with some JJP staff. The final chapter of the book is called "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" which is about the games final wizard mode but I haven't even come close to reaching it yet. Look for the book on sale at Expo 2015.

The opening chapter of the book is called "Toys" and the second "Magnets". I can't reveal anything else at the moment.
