    Quoted from iceman44:

    1) That reveal was 100% about raising $$$ to put down on getting Wonka started. Do the math. 200 games x $10k net = $2 million. The "investors" said go raise the up front $$ yourself buddy. Hence, the YBR absolute F ing disaster and JOKE
    2) Jack actually said that "we may do more than 200 later but it won't be more than......."
    3) Jack had destroyed the "collectibility" of any JJP game.
    4) The RUSH to buy Potc late is totally manufactured BS. Sales were crap until there was a "last call" announcement. Again, "hey guys, I've got a few pins outside in the trunk, let me show them to you"
    5) After TPF, like everything else with JJP to extract every dime possible, there will be a BLACK PEARL EDITION coming next year. How do we know this? LOL
    6) Yeah I'm thinking Disney doesn't give a F about how many games POTC sold, its a shit franchise now, and any FUTURE games make sense so Jack can make them for let's say another 3 yrs. It's what he does.
    7) Disney is also Toy Story, enough said about the relationship thus far. POTC was a dismal seller from a licensing standpoint. DI or WOZ, who cares?
    Bottom line, Jack lies when the truth would sound better. And now I'm probably gonna roll over my $$$ from POTCCE because, once again, its delayed, AND in Jack style, we know its coming again in another re skinned version.
    #BLACK PEARL

    I want to give you a thumbs up and thumbs down.

    I do agree that YBR is stupid cash grab and PotC didn’t sell so they decided to halt production to make people ont he fence feel like it was now or never and move a few more units. Heck look at CGC they keep making AFM aid there is demand no need to rattle the cages and say buy now or never (???).

    However when you said who cares about Woz and DI that I disagree with because they are both great.

    Quoted from dannylite:

    I'm honestly worried. I think YBR @11.5k was a last cash grab ordered by the "angels".

    Shake my head. At least have the decency to give a reach around. I mean if you are going to charge $11500 don’t remove mechanical toys at the same time.

    I’m worried about the future of JJP and my pins for future parts if they don’t survive.

    I think JJP should leak pictures of Wonka to forstall people plunking down money on DK3.

    I hope that JJP can get it’s act together. JJP founded in 2011 which is not all that long ago or maybe old enough to know better depending on how you look at it. But that’s 8 years and so far 4 games have landed. And with the case of PotC it’s either a rousing success or a thudding failure depends on who you ask. If it’s true as some say that JJP PotC can be done with 1000 units then I think it’s a failure to sell not saying a bad game but a bad selling game. I’m not sure how well DI or TH sold either.

    Stern is able to have a failure game and move on in 4 months to a whole other pin.
