I wish AP started up with Brian Eddy or some other designer, so they weren't immediately burnt at the stake. More pinball can only be a good thing. It seems to me from an outside perspective that they're trying to be a legit pinball manufacturing company. Just poor choice in a lead designer. (Understatement of the century)
I do think they should be able to speak for themselves at expo. I think the majority of us do. We're all curious if they can pull something off.
