Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Why do I keep reading that there won't be a lot of POTC?

Pinball News interview where JJP said they are done manufacturing JJPOTC with no inventory left, moving on to the next two titles......

Quoted from Guinnesstime:

So "it's selling so well, we're halting production immediately without plans to make more and moving on to the next game."
Do other businesses follow this "logic"?

My guess: the next two are further along than we realize and that they want to make sure they have them ready to go when they announce. Even without the disks/chest change it took way to long from reveal to deliveries for JJPOTC...

Sorry about the derail OP, let me answer your question now:

SW Premium: Owned one NIB, sold in 6 months. Definite LOVE (theme, sound, music, rules), Definite HATE (worst ball plunge in modern pin history, cheap drains). A pin that makes you a better player yet frustrates the living crap out of you due to cheap drains. Most visitors who play my pins are non-pinheads, eyes lit up when they saw a SW pin, walked away disappointed due to cheap drains. If they ever vault this one Stern had better send the ball plunges to the top lanes instead of the middle target bank.

IMDN: 2nd best pin Stern Pin overall last 5 years, best layout Stern pin last 5 years. As close to a complete pin as Stern has made recently, awesome rookie designer effort by Elwin. That being said, with this theme and music it's a no in my house. Hoping for a retheme on this one.....

DP: Solid average Stern pin, but code & rules don't really grab me. 5 years from now it will be just another 2nd tier Stern pin

JJPOTC: Waiting for it to be delivered March 1, so jury is still out, but all things are pointing this to be one of the best ever......

Another one to consider: BM66 - Stern's best pin since LOTR and may be ever. Awesome theme, music, video, and callouts more than make up for some clunky shots and put it ahead of IMDN.
