Notable quotes

Harry Potter pinball will in fact be made...the most hallowed and sought-after pinball license in the land of muggles and wizards has been in fact acquired from Warner Brothers by none other than the good old folks over at Jersey Jack Pinball
Craig Bobby
I think it's a good story. Long story short, it didn't surprise me that you see a lot of people when they...when they're normally positive people and then they are kind of milquetoast on it, it often suggests to me that maybe they hate it
I wanted to quit this week...Who would have thought that toppers were going to bring me down, Dennis? It's almost ironic.
Zach Manning
The struggle that we have here in pinball, I think, versus a lot of other more established hobbies...is we don't have a professional media that can serve as a touchstone for that
I don't think it's a market...because there's so many distributors. There's not a marketing reason that I can come up with for Stern to deliberately trickle out accessories.
I am answering the same damn question with the same non-answer. At this time, we have not been given any information.
Zach Manning
Cam and Cal going kapow for Harry Potter...You said it would never happen. What? What? What? Are you sure?
Zach Manning
It came out from a Joe Kaminkow post on Facebook...JJP has Harry Potter. It is what it is. You guys don't have to speculate any longer. They got it. They locked it in.
