We operate plenty of pros and some premiums. This price drop fixes one problem for JJP, the cost for the ROI being too high to justify it.

Still left is:
- the wait for delivery of games (having money in deposits waiting to receive a game is WAY TOO LONG)
- reliability of mechs ( sold a WOZ because it was constantly breaking down due to the route punishment of many many plays)
- novice player enjoyment ( rulesets are convoluted, themes aren't as good as stern's)
- tournament player engagement (don't like them in tournaments, mostly due to the point below)
- ball times are way too long (need to get players moving through games, spending more money). Camping on really long games is fine for the home market, but are killers in a location setting.

We currently don't have a deposit in on a Wonka, maybe if I see that they are actually shipping the game in a reasonable time frame. The theme has definitely intrigued our customers and generated excitement, so I wouldn't be opposed to eventually buying one, but I don't have the trust in JJP yet to deliver a game on time. Hence money stays in pocket for now. Really need to see the ball times drop a bit too, hopefully this isn't as bloated as their earlier games.
