Yes. But the hobbit is still relatively new. And until the JJP 3 is close to shipping and the hobbits preorders are close to being complete it wouldn't be good business for a reveal now. Some people would cancel there hobbit order for it, and that doesn't mean more money for JJP.
Same reason why stern hasn't announced their first LCD game yet, a big bulk of GB preorders would disappear.

Jack said in an interview that they might announce a couple months before shipping because they need to get an understanding of the interest for ordering parts etc

Yeah, the post was real, it started off as "Here is what we know about Pat's game from the Stern insiders"

Yeah I agree with you. But for JJP, until the pin is very close to shipping there is no point in taking 1 year worth of preorders for it!
And Stern said they don't like leaks, they don't want a pin coming in a couple of months stealing the spotlight for the game they are shipping.
Sure, they are making a lot of games at the same time. You cannot pretend that the numbers of the 8 other games are anywhere near the numbers of the 'spotlight' game (GB).

That actually made me laugh.

How is it possible the lose interest in something that isn't announced?

That's like me saying I've lost interest in the next games Lyman is working on. It's been 2 years waiting for something after TWD and I've totally lost interest in whatever he is working on! Not sure what it is, but I'm bored of it already!

Well the hobbit was even longer wasn't it? It was shown but if it's not ready to ship then they are really still working on it..

Don't think everyone should get their hopes up too high as that usually leads to disappointment. Hobbit software had 3.5 years to develop but it was still in beta when the pin was released. Not complaining. Just saying extra development time doesn't necessarily lead to a complete pin.

Sure. I'd be happy with 1 pin a year if it's at the same quality as WoZ and TH. 2 x JJP pins a year would make me broke

David theil said it's a special year because 5 games he has worked on wil be in production at the same time.
Star trek, spiderman, alien, hobbit, ans Jjp3
He has said it recently. So that means they can on production starting this year. For production to start jack said they need a orders so they will be opening up orders a little before.
I'd put money on an expo reveal.

Pretty impressive that they have been able to keep it very secret. Even the leaked information was pretty vague.

Sure
$50 donation to Pinside for whoever is wrong
You pay if JJP is announced before the end of the year, December 31st midnght
If Pay if they have't said anything by then

Deal?

Don't think anyone 'bloged' it. Its just been exchanged through PMs etc.

You are not missing out on much - there is nothing to get excited about when someone tries to describe a pin they have never seen.

Magnets, ramps, inserts, something that blocks shots....someone telling you what shots to make....
I don't think anyone has read it and gotten excited.
Just wait for the reveal

Does it have a 3rd flipper to confuse everyone?

Ops, didn't see this

Deal!
I dont have paypal or anything so donation to pinside or charity would be fine.

Lets hope the sneak peak isn't an application for 30 x Super LEs
