    Quoted from DCFAN:

    I thought most pinball parts were coming from Asia?

    The best solution would obviously be to move all the manufacturing and assembling to china.
    Keep design, concept artists etc in the us, but do the groundwork in one location.
    It's also the lowest cost.

    Quoted from PanzerFreak:

    No. Keep production in USA!

    You mean assembling?

    Quoted from bobukcat:

    More likely Mexico would be cheaper especially with this kind of unique assembly and the fact that probably 85% of the end-product is sold in the North America.

    I´m not sure that on a larger scale the transport cost makes up for the lacking efficiency assembling in mexico instead of china.

    Parts from china and us -> Assembling in mexico -> distribution mainly us.
    V.S.

    I enjoyed kanedas take on jjp.
    Dont agree with all. Lawlor is a great playfield designer, but should probably stick to that.

    JJP isnt blessed with luck. Wonka is a really nice game, but was cursed with the playfield issue.
    Lawlor should have made the playfield for hobbit, bu wasnt on board yet.
    I sure hope they survive. It's Actually the company i hope for the most, not to go belly up.

    Lets hope they Dont mimic the Stern playbook moving to Chicago producing cheap trash.
    Keep the magic under the glass. keep loading up with imaginative gizmos.
