## Transcript

I recently received a promotional e-mail from the distributor PinballSTAR Amusements and according to the message, Jersey Jack Pinball is ending production of its newest game Guns N' Roses "soon." JJP has been producing GNR for a while now so the end of this production run likely means that the arrival of a new Jersey Jack pinball machine is happening soon. Rumored to be Toy Story, the next release likely will not be revealed before the next big industry show, the Midwest Gaming Classic at the end of April. That means that the unveiling of the much-anticipated Toy Story pin by Jersey Jack will likely be in June or July of this year.
