It seems many have been profiting from J-pops previous work over the last few years but him. It is nice to see now he is being rewarded for that.

Quoted from toyotaboy:Kordek invented the flippers. Do you think he got upset at every pinball manufacturer since 1949 stealing his idea?
He must have after Harry Mabs stole his idea in 1947.
Quoted from GLModular:You mean like this:
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=11&picno=18538
That's all the TOTAN spinner is based on.
You mean like this?
Quoted from GLModular:Rally Play was seriously one of the most inventive pinball companies out there.
10k by x-mas!
Quoted from Aurich:No more designing in a vacuum, all by yourself. Embrace the team and RAD methodologies. Solicit feedback from the community/customer.

Quoted from rommy:What else are we buyers, who now appear to be victims, supposed to do?
Has anybody tried selling their pre-order spot?
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:Can you imagine if a car dealer let you preorder a car 4 years ago
When the last car he made was over 15 years ago? Seems pretty crazy to me on both ends.
Quoted from jazzmaster:If this were anything else besides pinball, this shit would be on 60 Minutes next week.
"It really bothers me when these pinball designers don't deliver"
Quoted from Strange:Cirqus Voltaire is the greatest pinball ever made.
It was such a hit, they could hardly give them away when they first came out. But at least there wasn't much of a wait if you wanted one.
Quoted from NYP:That's really not a fair statement, all games at that time were being closed out including Safecracker, M.M, C.C etc....
I think it's fair enough. My statement was a response to someone claiming greatest pinball ever. Which none of these closeouts are.
Quoted from Mr68:That would be an EM, right?
Well, the one you sent me was pretty nice.
Quoted from iceman44:MG was upped to 50
RAZA was upped to 250
Where do I send my money?
Quoted from ccotenj:designing hinges from scratch...
I for one would like to see that newly designed "hinge".
Quoted from Rarehero:Is Noone a mod now ?
No, he's too busy getting ready for the Flower Power Cruise.

Quoted from TigerLaw:LTG seems to suggest perhaps JPop could work at a fast food resturaunt or something, but that would require him to handle cash register money...how could he be trusted not to steal it? I wouldn't hire him if I owned a McDonalds franchise...not a chance.
You guys do realize that McDonalds has several positions available where the handling of money is not required.
Quoted from frolic:I was sold on the mythology of "jpop". His "30 years" in the business.
Just out of curiosity, what part of the "business" was he in after Williams stopped making pinball machines?
Quoted from frolic:Well, we all know about the zizzle, which, regardless of what we think of the product, actually shipped.
I was unaware he was involved with Zizzle. I was just curious what he had done since Star wars episode 1.
Quoted from iceman44:plenty of smart asses that will always remind you
Quoted from iceman44:Judge me accordingly
Well lets see, if the IRS is getting 350k, judging by that you must have grossed at least 400.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:I'd wager our average incomes reflect those active brains. Group hug?
Sorry that I must bring down that income average substantially, but am very happy that I am able to up the average in the brain department.
Quoted from rai:What would happen if John was able to make a pin which was more simple such as Predator with a magnet and couple of ramps, put artwork on it and call it MG or RAZA would that satisfy his obligations?
He could call it "Zizzle"
Quoted from pinballrockstar:Good thing john is working very hard,can't wait to see my Alice in Wonderland in my gameroom!
It may be further along than you think.
Quoted from jackofdiamonds:Its the same group of hero worship pinball groupies he has always had.
Isn't that what started this whole mess?
Quoted from labnip:I want want he's on ^^
Many were on it until their prescriptions ran out. They all said the same things when they sent in their moneys. This guy's just a little late to the party.
Quoted from iceman44:The problem is no lawyer in the world is going to continue to prosecute this case for nothing/peanuts.
Isn't that the same as representing pinsiders?
Quoted from ForceFlow:In the US, online purchases are not taxed as long as you don't live in the same state as the company you are buying from.
Quoted from rosh:Not completely true, in many states you are required to declare these purchases and pay a 'use tax'.
I wonder if some states that enforce it will still come after the use tax on these being that money did change hands.
Quoted from ultimategameroom:Can someone please post or PM me a pic of what the playfields of MG, RAZA and AIW were supposed to look like? IF and its a big "IF" Houdini or a new incarnation of MG art is shown I would like to be able to compare everything.
"All the colors of a Huffy girl's bicycle"
Quoted from ultimategameroom:Thanks Odin and desertT1 for posting RAZA and Magic girl.
Can someone please post AIW.
THANK YOU
Here ya go!
Quoted from MinusWorlds:I don't think that's as far fetched as you might think.
Sometimes I see things before they happen.
Quoted from frolic:I know everyone is tired of my smoke and mirrors, so there is a playable Magic Girl here at the show. Come see it. Everyone paid up for a Magic Girl is getting one.
"Will this Magic Girl have those redesigned hinges that we paid for?"
Quoted from Astropin:Why do people want rare things? Seriously....I don't get it.
I find them tastier and juicier that way.
So are you guys saying it's not too late to get in on this project? Or is there still only a limited number of spots.
Quoted from iceman44:A pack of liars to varying degrees is rampant with Pinball "manufacturers"
Absolute worst part about this hobby.
If only it could go back to the days when mobsters and gamblers were running the industry.
I guess it's OK, but the thing looks a little too girlie for me.
I guess that's where it gets it's name.
Quoted from RobT:anyone who doesn't believe that MG will be highly collectible is wrong.
Collector of dust.
Quoted from kvan99:Wow, what a couple of years being on this forum can do to a man's eye.
Check out what it did to his waistline.
Quoted from Pinballpal:You apparently have not played BM66 with latest code update. Hitting the commissioner Gordon target as many times has you can to maximize you batphone hurry up award rule kills all of magic girls rules combined. And that is just one example of many.
Would you expect any less from Mr. Lyman Sheats Jr.?
Quoted from NJGecko:This thread should be on fire
Quoted from forensicd:How is the poster formally known as K*****a banned for life, but this crap keeps popping up in what should be one of the most exciting threads ever on pinside? People have waited 5 years for this pin, its here, and all I have seen for the past three days is bickering back and forth. Isnt this why him he shall never be named got banned?
He bought his way back in. $20 "k" is a lot of clams. That's what makes him special.
Quoted from VacFink:Interesting enough, I wonder why there isn't any discussion of how surprising this was.
People are still in shock from the TBL situation.
Quoted from SunKing:Just in case everyone missed this post from Robin.
That's going to keep the moderators pretty busy. Are any present at the moment?
Quoted from guyincognito:But then again... don't we all?
I enjoy listening to his podcast
Apparently you do.
I recall nails on a chalkboard being more palatable than listening to not to be mentioned's podcasts.
Quoted from chadderack:I'm just marveling at the guy's expertise in getting even the smart people around here to talk about him.
I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you very much, my good man!
Quoted from guyincognito:Anyone who gets their thrills by driving 130 mph on a public road, where other drivers' lives are needlessly put in danger, is acting like a huge douche.
I'm taking it you've never driven the Autobahn before.
Quoted from metallik:When folks talk about the news, they talk about the news and not about the news anchor...
Usually.
Quoted from SunKing:Is there anything special about them I should know?
Some dude that knows very little about pinball and doesn't pretend he does.
They finally let me back in this thread but after watching the videos and reading the reviews, there really isn't much humor to add...
Quoted from TOK:Regardless of how much money someone makes, very few people want to squander it.
Except in pinball, of course. Othewise there wouldn't be so many pre-orders!
Quoted from luvthatapex2:I noticed someone bought a prototype magic girl. What's the difference between prototype and the 19 others?
About $50,000
Quoted from Mr68:Attention believers. I am selling my RAZA spot. Much less than a BM66LE with great upside potential.
So you decided you like the game play of Batman better?
Quoted from MotorCityMatt:Want to play magic girl? Find a TOM, start the game, and close your eyes.
I don't know man. Last ToM I played really worked.
Quoted from MarkInc:The full review should help point out the missing bits and help them patch it up.
From what I can tell, the only way to patch it up is with a large box of parts. You know, the ones missing from the game...
Quoted from frolic:John posted video of that spinner from 2015, how does his video from then compare with it now:
https://magicgirldev.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/video-of-the-day-jinx-outlane-whizzer/
At least some are back to referring to him on a first name basis.
Quoted from ultimategameroom:Didn't the new spokesperson say
They are gonna build Ferraris for the price of Kia's ?
And they're gonna nickname it "zizzle".
Quoted from spfxted:Powered by MailChimp
Wonder if he will be the one processing all those claims too.
Quoted from hank527:What claims will they process?
If history repeats itself, they will first process all the new incoming cash and then claim they have enough to make everybody whole.
Quoted from Makakka:Barry is experienced but nothing more, he does not have the magic.
Quoted from Makakka:You say he is not experienced
No experience making zizzle games.
Quoted from pinballwil:Technicaly bsd is one of the most inovative game designs for that time, even for today's standards.
Ik think barry is a great designer.
Beside the great layout and design, you have to give some credit to Bill Pfutzenreuter who did some revolutionary things with the software on that one.
Quoted from MrBally:Bally Manufacturing Corporation froze
It does look pretty fricken cold there.
Quoted from Mr68:John Popadiuk was inducted into the Expo Hall of Fame, October 22, 2011. It was one of the reasons I trusted and believed in him 7 years ago.
Didn't you know hall of fame is for people that have already done their best work and are usually well into retirement?
Quoted from pbwizard14:I would still purchase a AIW at a lower price
Missed it by that much!

Quoted from vicjw66:Baby steps. Don't give into the dark side. Just post in the socal thread and vegan thread for now and avoid the toxic threads.
He is also more than welcome to post in the carnivore thread if he likes.
What if he shows up with a haircut and is wearing a business suit.
Wouldn't that blow everybody's minds.
