Pretty much identical. Newest code (software).

Not really too many problem areas to improve upon from initial batches.

As far as the last batch or not....anybody guess. It has been 4 years this fall.....

I believe the very first runs had art around the posts which was removed on later runs to stop chipping/ pooling.

Other than that, was the metal bracket on the left side of the left ramp on the early runs? Think it helps with the opto registering correctly.

Generally Stern will announce a "last call" before pulling the game from production.
They did this with GOTG recently, I think they announced last call 3 months before the last production run.

Sometimes they do. They also announced last call for Led Zeppelin last year, but never did a last call for Rush or Stranger Things or I think BKSOR.

It's not an official policy either way. If they know they have some demand to fill to warrant a run, they'll issue a last call. If demand just kind of trickles down to near-zero like with Rush, there may never be a last-call run.

Hard to know where Jurassic will go. It might still have some sustained demand as a timeless franchise like Star Wars, or it might now be overshadowed enough by Godzilla and Elwin's next cornerstone so that it won't have demand past this year.

I ordered one several months ago. Heard so much about this pin, finally decide to get JPP NIB. I decided to go JJ pro instead of premium afte seeing some reviews and plays.
