I love Star Wars, but I'm just tired of them constantly making SW pins. How many are there now? Seven or eight? There are so many other cool properties they could make pins of. I think it's time to stop with the SW pins and come out with others people have been demanding for a long time...like JAWS, for example.

I agree. I've played many of the SW games on location and have never been impressed enough to buy one. And now, I usually skip the SW games when I'm at a location and go straight for others. It's too bad because, like I said, I really enjoy the movies a lot.

And that’s just Stern. Don’t forget Alice Cooper.

I think that ship has sailed (pun intended). Everything I'm hearing about the expiration of rights, the cost of re-running (reproducing), and the sour taste JJP has over all the problems and criticism they had with the original roll out leads me to believe the company intends to move on from this game. But I could be wrong.

Pinsiders are always looking for Easter eggs. Could your "Manure Pit" actually be code for BTTF because Biff keeps landing in piles of manure?

I'd like a game with some guns in it, and maybe some...oh, I don't know, roses. Yeah, some guns and some roses, and maybe some music too. Any ideas?

Me too. I was excited for a second, imaging the possibility of JJP making a TITTIES themed pin. I'd be a buyer on that, though I think my wife might have a problem with it.

Seems like AP just doesn’t get much love around here. I have a Houdini and am enjoying the hell out of it. That being said, I also have a JJP POTC, and it blows away all my other games, including Houdini.

I said this before, but I'll repeat myself. I think the POTC ship has sailed (pun intended), and rightfully so. I own one, and it's an awesome game. But JJP didn't get much love for it when it came out. As Keith explained, it made no sense to keep going with it when the demand wasn't there. Maybe the demand is there now, but I highly doubt it's enough to justify JJP starting anew, ordering all the parts, etc. I really don't think they'd sell enough to make it worth their time and expense. They have other potentially profitable games in the pipeline. They should focus on those. I hate to say it, and sorry if I offend anyone, but if you wanted a POTC at factory issued prices, you should have bought it when it was offered. If you want one bad enough now, pony up the cash and buy a used one. I keep seeing them pop up in the marketplace.

I had an uncle who said all music sounds the same to him. He was deaf.

Ouch! I grew up in the eighties, so Elvis was way before my time. But I've always loved his music and his style. So I bought the Elvis pin NIB in 2004 (from Jersey Jack when he was just a distributor), and its still in my collection today. I play it all the time and I love it. It's held up nicely. So let's give The King some props here.

Yup. I'm excited. But I'm afraid my bank account may take a serious beating.

I think you and I have the same affliction. I live in a 1300 square foot townhouse yet I own 8 pins, just bought another and I also have a Wurlitzer jukebox. My wife enjoys this hobby with me, but I think she's getting to the end of her rope with my pinball acquisitions.

I don't think so. If JJP goes exclusively, or even primarily, for the high-end market where only the wealthy buyers reside, they won't sell enough games to thrive in the long term...not when so many others (Stern, Spooky, American, CGC, etc.) will be selling ever-improving product to the masses. There are only so many NIB buyers out there, and not enough in the 15K range to make that business model work. They'll have to offer games at a price point not too far from their competitors. That's just my opinion.

If you're referring to POTC, the only indication we have that they will re-run it is from people theorizing about it here on Pinside. I personally don't believe they will re-run POTC, for the reasons that have already been mentioned many times on this thread and other related threads. If you're talking about re-runs of JJP's other games, I haven't seen any of them selling in the 16K range on the secondary market, or even close to it.

Yes. It's exciting from a hobbiest's perspective. But will there be enough buyers of NIB games for all this? I doubt it, especially with the economy just starting to recover in 2021. I'm afraid some companies are going to lose a lot of money in the midst of all this competition.
