- Jersey Jack's next releases are rumored to be Willy Wonka (standard-width, designed by Pat Lawlor) followed by Toy Story (wide-body, designed by Eric Meunier).
- Jersey Jack's ideal production cycle is nine months per game, but the proposed Willy Wonka/Toy Story timeline is only three months apart.
- Twippies Awards awards will be announced live at Texas Pinball Festival in late March 2019, with voting occurring at the start of the year.
Notable quotes
“We don't make up drama. We don't need to in this hobby. It already exists.”
“I don't think Munster's is a good theme choice... the nostalgia factor for this isn't i think it's a minority of people making it seem bigger than it is”
“Nothing in Jersey Jack's history makes me think they're going to surprise me.”
“I think given their production line and size of company, that makes a lot of sense to me. This proposal is not that.”
“Dialed In! gave me hope, and then Pirates murdered the hope.”
