JJP 3 is not HarryPotter

Quoted from Aurich:Shrug. Either it happens or it doesn't. I have no stake in it, and no one will remember if I was right or wrong by the time the next game is announced. Hell, I could be 100% right and JJP changes it because of [reasons]. I happen to believe that it's true, I guess we'll find out.
I'm sorry if you took that hard. Just as we have those pesky Spellcheckers, I've appointed myself the Oxymoron Police. 
Look, some of us have credible information once or twice removed. Even though its usually reliable I've found its best to keep it secret. My main source of information is in so deep he has two testicles pressing against his face. And he's still made mistakes. (hope he reads that 
)
To me I find it all harmful for people trying to make informed decisions. Look at the BBB re-make scuttlebutt that's presently going on as an example. People are connecting dots that don't exist.
No matter you seem like a good guy and your source's are probably just as good as mine.- PM will be sent. Free Glare Guard coming your way.
Can you imagine what JJP would do with the Star Wars licensing?
#3 Star Wars LE
#4 Star Wars base model
#5 Star Wars LE - 38th anniversary edition - with new toys (this would be beyond Jack's control... he HAD to make it so he could make the Hasbro catalog).

Quoted from ChadH:Where is Thunderbirds?
(ducks)
Homepin/Thunderbirds should be on the poll and is the only one worth getting.
Stern may as well be out of business as far as I am concerned, I will never buy NIB from them again.
The others do very little for me as well and by the time they arrive in Australia the $$$ asked for them are just crazy.
Thunderbirds or nothing!

And you even left a few key players off the list!

A lot of dreamers but very few that can do more than sit on the pot.
Statement From Andrew Heighway
I am truly sorry to hear about the turn of events announced today.
In June 2017 I sold my controlling stake in Heighway Pinball Limited – including its commitments and liabilities - to a group of investors who claimed to want to put significant funds into the company, achieve mass production and deliver part-paid and fully-paid games to customers, as well as new machine sales.
Throughout the five years that I ran the company, we developed and sold games up until the time of my departure. This was never a ponzi scheme, as some have suggested. A mix of technical problems, supplier quality problems and unrealistic timeframes resulted in delays that financially crippled the company. We were all committed to delivering games to all paying customers. I personally apologise for the unrealistic timeframes.
There have been suggestions that I stole or diverted company funds for my own ventures. These are very serious accusations and never once have I been interviewed by the police for any alleged wrongdoings. The company’s accountants have never suggested any wrongdoings by me. It can be proven that the company owed me significant monies and not the other way round. I would therefore advise people to refrain from making any libellous or slanderous statements about me – as I will defend myself and my integrity.
I very much regret that the company’s owners have closed the company without honouring its commitments to all paying customers and I wish everyone the best in pursuing their claims against the investors or via the insolvency practitioners.
This situation has appalled me and I am extremely sorry for the anguish that it will inevitably cause.
Andrew Heighway
