    I’ve watched Stern closely since 2004 (when I bought my first 2 NIB games...LOTR & TSPP). They seem to give tremendous freedom to each designer. Whenever an old school designer comes back to pinball, it’s always a risk. When Pat Lawlor returned, JJP gave him the freedom to do great work. Stern is a production pinball company and Brian Eddy’s first effort in many years looks pretty “meh” to me.

    Keith’s JP is the most exciting game I’ve ever played. Strongly recommend.

    Quoted from Beechwood:

    I can understand how many can enjoy the theme as they integrated it into the pin.
    I, However, really wanted the original movie and the call outs, assets, etc. Just a personal preference (nostalgia).
    It is a great pin to play, no doubt.

    Still plenty of nostalgia in the music & imagery. For me, it combines the best of both worlds (i.e. it pays homage to the movie but creatively implements a fun game). My 2nd Premium arriving in 20 minutes...it's that good!
