Quoted from iceman44:1) That reveal was 100% about raising $$$ to put down on getting Wonka started.
I think this was spot on.. YBR was a cash grab to keep the business going. Jack said it himself they have 0 pins in stock right now, this also means 0 money coming in on sales to keep paying people to work. Wonka was slow to ship (again), and that means no pins / pre-orders for cash flow.
Stern does need competition for pricing and innovation. I really believe JJP is the only reason we have larger color displays in pinball today. I think Spooky has also stepped it up with ACNC. If YBR gets JJP over the lull great, but consider me worried.
