Quoted from Goronic:

Exactly, why does JJP still make WOZ? People are still buying it is the answer. Same with POTC, they will likely make more if the demand is there.

It isn't whoring out the title. I know you are saying move forward - but you already have the POTC. This is for others that would like to own one. And besides, the next JJP (or the ones after) may NOT be as good as POTC. So pinball buyers may prefer POTC over GnR for example. I doubt JJP wants an expensive pin second hand JJP - they want to move pins today and get profit on the NIB ones.
It boils down to this for me. JJP would be in a better position if they make more of the pins that people really like. If you didn't make enough in the first go around (or two) then put it back on the line and make more money.

Quoted from LesManley:

It's just people cashing in for crazy money if they can. A handful of Pinside people crazy enough to drop $20k on a JJP POTC is not reason enough to re-run the game. They just had to do a price increase to quell demand and hold deposits for GNR since they are so backed up, they have their hands full already. No way they intentionally slow down a hit game with full buy in from the GNR that they have on the line and all the parts for, to instead restart a complicated, widebody game (which they don't do anymore) with unique parts, an expensive BOM and a now out of the mainstream theme that features an actor that is persona non-grata at Disney. Not to mention Toy Story is right around the corner which will consume them again when it is launched.
