Thanks for another update Ant68.
Sounds like the final tick of approval from WB on the playfield is really the main hurdle left to overcome. Must be very frustrating for the JJP team (not just those waiting for the finished pin). All good things come to those who wait....

When asked if he had a target date yet, Jack said that "June or July
is probably a pretty good estimate

Is this when they will start shipping, so it may be a month or so after that before goods arrive in 'OZ'?

Pin #2 is set. No official announcement yet, but it is licensed,
and JJP has the license in the bag. Jack said that there was
competition for the license, but the license holder picked JJP after
seeing what they had accomplished to date.

The Hobbit?

Everyone in the room looked at SR,
who probably didn't hear what Jack had said.

That's funny because it's probably true....
