    Quoted from beatmaster:

    i gave up on this 10 pages pingame flyer.
    pinball magazine is the answer.

    One issue of Pinball Magazine delivered is about the same price as five or six PGJ's. As a long term subscriber, PGJ has been great.
    Jim's recent health issues are an understandable explanation for the delay in PGJ issues this year. Besides, ovdr the years, PGJ has interviewed and covered almost everything there was up to the recent times. Most of the Roger Sharpe intdrview in Pinball Magazine was covered previously in PGJ or other trade and hobby magazines.

    Quoted from jedimojo:

    Nope. Didn't happen..... if that was the case, it would have been in the mail sometime around the 20th of January.
    Hope he's ok. Somebody post when they get theirs.... I don't even know if I've been added to the mailing list.
    Thanks.

    He's ok. Jim posted about and has organized the Barry Oursler donations.

    OP
    Quoted from jedimojo:

    Well, I wasn't looking for any additional issues (and to this date, I haven't gotten any since the 2014 calendar).
    But.... I was just on the Marco website looking for parts that it seems only they had. THEN.... I noticed this:
    http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/CAL2015
    The Pingame Journal website wasn't/isn't updated. Anyways, it would seem Jim (or somebody) is making the next calendar. From this point forward... I'll assume there is no more 'Journal' aspect to this publication.
    I can appreciate Jim has health problems.... and I know I'm going to come across as a bad guy here, but somebody has to say it.
    He's too ill to publish regularly, but he can travel to several shows during a year? Sorry.... it's crossed my mind.
    EDIT: It also says Marco has the 2015 Calendar in stock.

    Like people have said about a recent upstart pinball manufacturer; Just call Jim and ask him. His number is listed. Or, email PGJ if you prefer. If I would have went to Expo, I certainly would have asked him about the future of the magazine. Unfortunately, I had to miss the show. Based on the Pinball News and Jared videos, Jim's health seems to be better.

    He's a good guy.

    Quoted from jedimojo:

    I know he's a good guy. I spoke to him at the Midwest gaming show. I just think he's making some poor decisions. He knows he's not producing. Calling him changes what?

    Calling him gets you a direct answer.
