Glad you guys don't want to blow your own trumpet. Never liked the trumpet much. Three or so at once could get ugly. I'm a retired woodwind guy.

Anyways, I only wish Elvira was first as Wizard of Oz has a bit of special connection, me being from and still in Kansas and all. Can't afford a NIB this year but probably could next year.

But you never know. As far as pinball themes go, in my opinion JJP has chosen MUCH cooler themes with these two than Stern has been doing lately. They are more "pinballie". I really hope they take off like wildfire and do extremely well with sales. If nothing else, it would be nice to prove to Stern that their "formula" for choosing themes has been veering off the good path. I understand it's just business and I definitely don't know business, but the Stern themes over the past several years have raised nothing but a couple "meh"s out of me - kind of stale. If JJP stays with it and keeps on developing new games with similar cast of talent involved, by the time I can afford a NIB they might possibly fly right past the first stabs and come up with some fantastic new ideas we never would have thought of today.

But listen to me prognosticate when the first attempt is still a black & white sketch on paper. Can't wait to find out where these things might be near me and go play them.
I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here.

Yeah I knew Cameron Silver back in Melbourne when he used to work at TimeZone. When he went to the states one of the first games he worked on was Elvira. At the time I used to play with Josh Holmes and Rob Macingtosh. Rob went to the states to play in the PAPA in 93 when he won the AU champs. Anyway due to us informing Cameron of all the faults of the games in TimeZone, we have been listed as fault finders in the attract mode.... CSB
