KISS LE NumbersAs of last Thursday (our time), they were hoping for more. I'm told the nod must come from KISS themselves (should have happened over the weekend) - which will happen as it is more $ for Mr Simmons and Stanley.
It is not just Aussie distributors asking for more LEs 
The money KISS make from this is a drop in the ocean for them. Their motivation to 'allow Stern to officialy announce the number of LEs' to be greater than 600 would not be about money. The motivation would be that they would be allowing the LE numbers to confirm their huge popularity. Who wouldn't want to say: "Normal LEs are numbered at about 500 or less, but for us the demand was so high that we had 1,000 LEs".
JJPI am starting to feel for JJP and team. They can't catch a break and are being steam rolled by the Stern train.
Just hope Jack doesn't lose $ for all his huge efforts.
He now needs a killer title to get much much more orders.
JJP should have got Star Wars or Fast n Furious or something like Alien.
Jack is very conservative but. Spitting blood and fire etc, would Gene Simmons make it to the JJP Sunday family lunch....
Every company now needs to go balls n all out to win our $.
No pity there. During the lead up to WOZ, I heard many seminars and interviews. So much rubbish was coming out of JJP. I had only just got into pinball then. Its where I started loose respect for JJP, and started liking Gary Stern's professionalism. Most of the new budding new manufactures have been good in focusing on themselves and not sledging others, but Stern did really well to not get drawn into the JJP sledging that was direct at Stern.
I find it ironic that JJP say they would not drop their standards and do something like TWD as its not family friendly. Laughable after years of sledging other companies. JJP had to find out the hard way that "building pinball is not easy"

Go KISS and Go Thunderbirds!
