the marketing media ( the vid on JJP website) it comes across to me like it was contracted by disney/pixar to JJP, there is only mention of JJP once at the very end of it. This makes think the target audience is not pinheads at but rather people who frequent and collect all things disney. There are millions of people worldwide who have ownership in Disney's vacation club program ( timeshare ,they start at 30K to 150K ) they could offer TS4 with the same in house finance system .With marketing and good product placement within the parks, they could easily sell these out this summer. combined with the anticipated travel uptick, and these same families have been sitting on cash from lockdowns. It could happen, and the current marketing Video, looks like Disney is in the drivers seat, JJP will only have to sit back and focus on the build, not the sell. Personally if i was JJP, i would rather cater to one grouchy customer, who has serious capitol, endless IP assets , then a hobbyist group of constant complainers.

Quoted from frolic:

This has never proven to be a successful formula. The market is always pinheads who ALSO love the theme. And the remaining operators who buy mostly everything.
Fine, someone can point me to a Mustang owner who bought the pinball, or a doctor somewhere who love KISS, but those are outliers. You can't build a manufacturing business around that.

i agree 100% watch the video and listen to it, and do the same with GRN, this is different. This feels all Disney to me. We don't know the disney/jjp relationship, if they were contracted to do a themed pin, this would be a very successful formula , especially with access to 58 million guests annually. even as a numbers game, 58mil , if 1% (5,800,000 guests) are exposed to TS4 and of that 1%, 1% of those commit to buy, thats 5800 . this is very doable.

Quoted from rai:

I am not an OP either but these will get more like 30-50 plays a day not a week. I was there an hour and played 10-15 games on TS4

[quoted image]

at $1/play,30/day ROI is just shy of 13 months. the ST you posted was at 16 plays a day ( averaged over the 6 years)

I like my TS4CE , my wife actually wants to play this pin with me , my kids love it and play it daily . I guess if you don’t have kids or grandkids you will never realize the value TS4 can bring . Sometime you have to be able to think bigger than just yourself.
