I don't so much think this is a JJP thing but rather a Keith Johnson reason for many tourney players. Keefer games tend to be deep and play really long. LOTR, TSPP, and WPT aren't exactly favorites with the tournament crowd either but they are excellent games for home enjoyment.

There's a much greater than 0% chance. Even Jack on a recent phone call estimates there's a 20% chance. The license is still active. I'd put the odds at >50% given JJP's past track record with re running old titles like WOZ. It might not be this year but I bet we will see more at some point in time.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The fact that Jack said even 20% is telling. Of course he isn't going to say that it's higher than that because they are selling GNR and Wonka right now. I think we'll see a special (and expensive) run done by the end of this year.

It will be fun to come back to this post in a year and see if I was right.

The LE's weren't >$20K last year either. JJP is watching the current market closely. The game may be a PITA to make but if the demand and $$$ is there, they'll make more. It wouldn't surprise me if they cut the run of GNR short this fall before full demand is satiated, run JPOTC for a couple months (500 games), and then move on to Toy Story. When the demand for GNR gets pent-up again in late 2022 or early 2023 they'll bring it back again at a higher price... and the cycle continues. The key is to always leave people wanting more and not run the game for so long that prices and demand fizzle.
