Notable quotes

If you're interested in Pirates of the Caribbean, let your distributor know, and there might be another run.
Ken Rudberg (correspondent, quoting Keith Johnson)
I have no plans to stop shipping and announcing games, even with the current climate.
Jack Guarneri (Jersey Jack Pinball, via Ken Rudberg)
Go big or go home, baby. And I will not play in a local tournament or league or anything.
Zach Minney
I'm allergic to failure, Dennis.
Zach Minney
The Safe Money has partial production starting before the end of May, but no official word yet from anyone at Stern.
Craig Bobby (Stern correspondent)
Those are the true limited editions or standards when you go and actually do your unit counts.
Dennis Crease (paraphrasing Jack Guarneri interview statements)
I think they knew that if we're dropping this to 7,500 for this Wonka, there may not be any going back.
