Quoted from jfh:But no way I’d risk buying a game with zero customer support
Tell them to get LTG : ) back.
Quoted from jfh:Do you really want to go back to a place that doesn’t understand how valuable you are?
To be able to help people struggling with their games, yes.
It saddens me to see posts here that don't get help or incorrect help. I'd do it for that alone. Not to mention PM's, emails, and phone calls.
Quoted from jfh:Besides, I like that you work with CGC
Thank you !

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:After the way they treated you why would you want to go back?
To help people with their games. When they contact jjp and get ignored. On the various forums when they ask for help and don't get help, or many hours later, or the wrong help that doesn't fix their issue.
I'd gladly continue. I wasn't doing it for me, or jjp. I was doing it because someone needed help with their game.
LTG : )
Quoted from KornFreak28:What do you mean by customer service is no longer an option?
I think Chris just meant me. Not jjp's customer support or distributors like Chris at Kingpin Games.
LTG : )
Disclaimer : Some year Chris may actually spell my name right.
Quoted from KingPinGames:ha, everyone can spell it right, it take a real ass to do it wrong time after time after time
Time after time for years.
I understand Crhis.
LTG : )
Quoted from KornFreak28:Can’t believe JJP distanced themselves from Lloyd!
Me either. Monday would have been my ninth anniversary with them. And two years since on the seventh I got a nice email thanking me and hoping I'd be with them for a long time.
LTG : (
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:Why the F did they ever let someone like this go?
Wish I knew. We may never know.
Of course I haven't gotten a response from my friend Bob either, in over five months.
The mysteries continue.
LTG : )
Quoted from PinMonk:I wouldn't do Pirates. You'll never be able to get it back again at a reasonable price.
Not that big of a draw in my business. I wouldn't replace it.
LTG : )

Quoted from ZoraShinoda:TS is their next game for sure and is based on all of the movies, from a source I talked to, he wouldn't give me anymore info as he is under NDA with JJP. Take that for what it's worth
Then he shouldn't have said that.
Quoted from Rizmo:Did JJP say when they would announce their next game?
On Facebook jack and jen are by the sign and the post reads ten years ago they brought forth WOZ. And game #7 to be announced soon.
LTG : )
Disclaimer : They removed my post about them bringing me on board 9 years ago for tech support and if they are coming to my 50th anniversary party.
Quoted from konghusker:The potc didn’t have movie clips of any actors, and it caused a big stir with fans not having assets. Game turned out ok, but assets would have been amazing.
That is because for what ever reason. The actors and actresses owned their own audio and video rights. It would have been a long drawn out nightmare going back and forth with agents and actors. And some might do it for cheap and some would want a fortune or not at all. And when you secure an asset, you'd still need Disney approval for having it in the game.
I don't know if it's that way with every Disney movie. It did seem to be a unique situation.
LTG : )
Quoted from Oneangrymo:I can feel those sleepless nights coming again where I will stay awake
I sleep pretty good at night.
During the day, I'll feel sad. If I make a deal to get what ever their next game is, would mean trading Pirates, and the end of a full jjp machine line up here and in the state.
LTG : )
Quoted from jfh:Not going to meet expectations unless the playfield issues are fixed and the warranty is restored.
And they get LTG : ) back.
Quoted from jfh:Well, you’re working for CGC now and I’m putting Cactus Canyon in the slot previously earmarked for Toy Story
Bless you sir. You are a wise man !
You'll be pleased with the game and quality of the build. CGC really knocked this one out of the park.
LTG : )
Quoted from zermeno68:Did Lyman Sheats finish revamping the code before his unexpected passing? I love all the games Lyman coded.
From the recent seminar, Butch touched on this. Lyman did some work on the CC code, and the extended CCR code in the game. When you set the game up you can run it original code or extended.
Lyman was working with Josh on the Lyman update coming later ( with an easy to install mech ) I don't know how much code Lyman had written. He did have it all mapped out. So with that and Josh's help, eventually the Lyman update will be finished and available.
Which I think is a nice tribute to Lyman. Not another unfinished symphony type deal.
LTG : )
Quoted from romulusx:So now this is a CGC thread?
I apologize for getting jjp's game thread off track.
LTG : )
Quoted from zermeno68:Would like to know so I can contact my distributor right away.
You should have probably already done that.
Quoted from zaphX:Wait what? Visible where?
Post #429
Quoted from rai:How do you get on the JJP mail blast?
Quoted from Skyemont:125 Pirates CE's is rare.
200
Quoted from zaphX:that award 1M points for plunging the ball are absurd.
Sounds like you have a 1M switch that needs adjusting.
LTG : )
Quoted from JohnTTwo:i remember asking you this question, you told me to call a JJP distro
That is all I knew at the time. My post I was hoping to call in a favor.
Quoted from Gogdog:What does it even take to reserve a CE with JJP tomorrow at 12 EST? I created an account, added credit card, shipping address, etc...but...is it like a $2k deposit or anybody know?
According to the video on Facebook, this is the way. A sales rep will call you later ? Not sure how this works with tomorrow's 12:00 EST.
LTG : )
Quoted from zermeno68:Do you buy replacement parts right away or wait it out?
I would keep an eye on Pinside and see if anything game specific seems to be an issue. Or look the game over yourself and ask, "that looks like a wear item or something that will break over time."
Quoted from zermeno68:Is it best to order it through JJP
Might not have parts on the website right away. Contatc Nate or the parts department at jjp.
LTG : )
Quoted from DKong:4 new pages and I get a picture of a knob......
Here you go.
LTG : )

And Butch and LTG
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:I’m officially boycotting Toy Story until they bring LTG back
Please don't.
What ever the game is. If it's a great game, and you like the looks of it. Get it. You'll be glad you did.
LTG : )
Quoted from yancy:70 pages and still no coil count?!?
24 - 70 volt coils. 5 - 20 volt coils. 12 volt motor, relay, and light table 8.
According to page 187 in the manual . Which you can download from jjp's website under Support - Downloads - Toy Story.
LTG : )
Quoted from bobbyconover:In my real world experience of operating it for several years (at multiple types of locations from all-ages to bar) in the heart of the resurgence of pinball, in one of the best cities for location pinball, it was usually at the bottom of my pinball earnings.
Part of being an operator. Having the game your players want. Rotating games and getting the right game in the right location.
Some games haul in money. But not true for each location.
LTG : )
Quoted from underlord:But I do thank you for providing a copy of the warranty.
If you download the manual - https://marketing.jerseyjackpinball.com/ts/Toy_Story_4_Manual_1_0_May_2022.pdf the colorful cover is first then the next part is the warranty.
Quoted from indypinhead:IMO...CGC has a bright future. They have Butch Peel, and, most of all...they have LTG.
Very kind of you. Thank you !

Quoted from KozMckPinball:I counted 56 sling to sling bounces in a row. 56! Back and forth between the slings 56 times.
I don't have the game to check. If you can make the slingshots stronger or weaker in Settings - Coils, make one side a little weaker. That will get the ball out of there quicker.
Assuming the game is level left to right.

Quoted from Noma2017:You should actually listen to the podcast. He explains how they arrived at TS4. A lot of info I haven’t seen here
Did he say why they dumped me ?
LTG : )
Quoted from Thunderbird:We sure thank you for all your years of service to us.
It was my pleasure my friend !
LTG : )
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:Do you really think they would let him go for no reason whatsoever?
Since that is what happened. Yes.
Never heard from Jack, or anyone the reason. Just that in 30 days our agreement would end. ( on Jan. 5th I believe )
Quoted from Vino:Lloyd you should really consider inquiring to get some peace of mind on this one.
And miss the fun of the get LTG back campaign ?
Quoted from pinballaddicted:We are not buying another JJP (new or used) until this has been answered.
Please don't do that for my sake. They build great games. And if they make one you like. By all means get it.
LTG : )
Quoted from PtownPin:Anyone get the JJP survey?
I did.
Filled it out.
At the end I put down get LTG : ) Back.
I hope everyone does this.
LTG : )
Quoted from zermeno68:I mean, I still see you here responding to everyone asking help on their JJP games.
Originally I wasn't going to. Until I responded to two posts where the people could do harm to their machine. I don't care about jjp. I do care about people.
Now if I do I occasionally add to get LTG : ) just to blow jjp some sh*t. Remind them what they lost.
Quoted from zermeno68:Crazy to me!! Didn’t JJP see the passion you have for your work?
Not to mention opening up games and showing them off and referring people to distributors to buy their jjp game. 12 plus hours day seven days a week and holidays.
Quoted from zermeno68:Unless, cost has to do with it.
I got the machine for tech support that was it. I even paid for my own internet phone to use for their tech support. So I cost them less than toilet paper.
LTG : )
Quoted from Colehvac1:You found out the same thing the rest of us did, the new owners have no loyalty to those of us that supported on our dime,
Oh I found out some years before that. And still I remained loyal.
LTG : )
Quoted from BrianBannon:Gabby's face will get dirty unless it is wiped off on occasion.
I wonder if waxing her would make it wipe off easier ? Eventually it will get ground in and not wipe off.
LTG : )
Quoted from zaphX:What happened to the gopher in No Good Gophers? Did he have the same dirt issue?
No. Darker harder plastic.
Thing hand in TAF can get embedded just going up and down in the box. No amount of cleaning helps.
LTG : )
Quoted from LTG:Eventually it will get ground in and not wipe off.
Now might be a good time to get a few spare heads for later.
LTG : )
Quoted from konghusker:I think I’d pull the face out and add clear coat on it to help protect the paint better, and clean it safely
I'd consider the stuff for cars that stays a bit soft so it doesn't chip or crack from rocks.
LTG : )
Quoted from flynnibus:Also depends on...
Excellent points. What I all think about.
Quoted from flynnibus:1) do you have another spot worth putting the second game at?
No.
Quoted from flynnibus:2) is there a negative impression risk if you don't have the game?
There hasn't been.
Quoted from flynnibus:3) Will the game earn it's keep?
For me probably not. I'd have to remove a game to get it. So it would have to take in what that game was doing and the "new" pin money. Not many pins capable of that.
And these comments are just for me. Based on my experience. Other ops and places can and will have different experiences.
Initially I was seriously thinking of trading my jjp Pirates for a TS CE, until I saw it. I expected more for what might be Pat's last game.
If I was going to buy a pin right now, I'd be thinking Godzilla premium or a Safe Cracker. Two pins that either one would be a plus for me.
LTG : )
Quoted from PinMonk:Be a pal to that OP and leave a note on that pin to check the coil sleeves. A good OP will appreciate the heads up.
And coil stops are screwed on tight.

Quoted from mtp78:what you guys think of the stream
I was hoping to win the sheriff badge but missed the question so I couldn't respond.
Good to see old friends.
