For anyone wanting a Hobbit or 75th Anniversary from JJP, find the cheapest return airfares, check out the factory, meet Jack, pay the $$ in USA $$ cash, watch it get boxed n picked up by the courier, have a coffee, say goodbye, then visit Stern, visit magic mountain in LA or Disneyworld (take a girlfriend, not the wife), then u have had a great pinball trip, made sure you have gotten your pinball goods, fly home.

Well worth the trip after screwing airfares right down for the trip. Visiting JJP then Stern in the same trip would be well worth it.

JJP will survive. They will prosper in time. I don't know of any industry (car, boat, motorbike, jetski, building, anything really) that is perfect and he was a start up. I give the guy kudos for having a big go. Its easy to spray the guy unless u are in his shoes. The one thing I always take into consideration when dealing with any business is their genuine intent.
I cant see anyone on the planet saying realistically that JJP and Jack have meaningly intended to upset anyone, quite the opposite with the passion the man n his team have. In a year or two, JJP will be doing well n the initial bumps in the road will be old news.

The Melbourne fiasco cant be blamed on Jack. Forgetting that, 99 percent of those who have received a WOZ in their home have had great things to say.
I think the Hobbitt will be a special machine. Just watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy yesterday then the Hobbitt movie again. Going to see the new Hobbitt movie tonight. Makes me want a Hobbitt machine.  JJP will come good. Its good for the pinball Industry if he keeps building games n bringing out new titles. In the scheme of start up companies, its still very very early days. Hats off to the guy for trying to make pinheads around the globe happy.
