pingeorge started to do his own version of wizard blocks....from last i heard he was scrapping it and doing a retheme as magic blocks to avoid copy infringement issues..and when he gets it done there will only be one or two made....with that said this is beating a dead horse no one is doing anything with it...people now feel a pin2k project would be cool since all these custom pin start ups are going......jjp and pps have a good relationship...im guessing gene owns some pin2k rights???? the ideal situation would be to ask jack, rick and gene to get together and produce the kits. im not sure what pats l. is doing on a daily basis but ted estes is at jjp maybe he can talk pat into finishing the project with him?? maybe pat would want to do a new pin2k kit project theme and jjp could build it...putting people together to talk gets these things moving forward...

The rotating flasher from wb on eBay sold at like $150-$175 final actual bid. It had a buy it now of $1500 but that was obliviously a pipe dream

looks like steve sbovada cleaned out some of genes collection

Mmr is happening cause sterns factory is building the game. Not saying Chicago gaming couldn't pull it off, but having not done anything for build set up on mmr it would have been costly and a long wait for mmr to get completed. Rick has had all the chips fall correctly with a little luck involved. Glad it's getting done, but don't think it wouldn't take another mirracle to pull off wb cause it would. Redoing a completed game and redoing a incomplete game are night n day.

The people who can do all the things it takes for this to happen don't want to do it... On top of everything that's a unknown like finding someone to finish programming it, finding someone to finish designing it, finding someone to build the parts, getting all the ducks in a row that u don't know the cost... It's taking a year to rebuild a mmr.. They can build three more repo games before they finish wb to build it... I want it as much as the next guy, never going to happen. Move along!

Pingeorge will make you one! He's talented

George falls under the category of talented, but no business's model sense. What George is doing will only be a one off and never anything more. He's tried in previous years to reach out to people(gene and designers) with no success and feels scorned. So now he's gone into seclusion and just doing what he wants for him self only... Old school guy could build anything, never work well with others? Maybe maybe not... But it also is others don't want to work with him from what he's told me a while back... Anyway leave George alone, he prefers it this way now. Amazing talent wish he was in the USA and working for pinball into the public hands.

Your right your missing a lot!
No game designer, no established factory to use with out scheduling, no engineer to finish designing parts, no sound guy, no voice actors, no programmer, no manufactures not delaying your parts cause they only service stern with no compete clauses, no company building wire harnesses, there's way more I'm not even close to scratching the surface, then u have to probably pay more then the competition for these people cause u can double your build time if they don't have experience, then production issues, schedules over runs, bla bla bla... Not to mention none of these people will take the job knowing there's no job security guarantee after the build cause your only talking about a one off... And wrap that all together... Now tell me, u think Rick can pull all that off and make kits for less then a stern game! NO PROBLEM!!! U can be his financial guru for sure.
