Quoted from Darscot:

POTC was so weird, when it was announced people went crazy. I guess you have to give it to JJP they know how to get the hype train moving. Then the whole spinning disk drama. By the time they actually got around to delivering those pins it just seemed completely forgotten. Started with a roar and then was just a complete whimper. It was so quiet with such poor sale they just quietly stopped making them and moved on. Then it was suddenly most sought after pin and people start throwing money to get one. I don't think I have ever seen something instantly become rare and collectible because no one wanted it. Sure you see it with things 20 years later when they have a nostalgia revival and everyone wants the rare unique items. POTC was like we just can't sell this and make money, the next day it was rare and people would pay anything to get one. I guess that is more about the weirdness of Pinball collecting than POTC but it was weird to watch.

I wanted POTC LE the moment I played it at PAGG, I knew instantly JJP hit it out of the park. The spinning map, rocking pirate ship, flickering lanterns and other toys and details were impressive. There was zero hesitation on my part ordering one for $9500 and the game is a masterpiece and staying in the collection until I’m dead. Still working up the nerve to install this full set of RadCals on my game, not an easy decision. If JJP ever sells more playfields for POTC, I’ll order an extra for insurance. Looking forward to the final code for POTC if and when it comes.

When will the spare GNR playfields become available to order? I’d like to pick one up for $500 as backup for my LE
