Mike Kalinowski claims HomePin games are not designed for people who know about pinball

The Bond reveal was delayed due to licensor concerns about incomplete code, not solely the Queen's death.
Sales reports for Bond are contradictory: Pinball Show reports strong Premium sales (2-3:1), but other distributors report sales 'off a cliff' with more Godzilla sales.
The L1 Bond production requires taking the full L1 team (Rick Nagle, Harrison Drake, etc.) out of rotation, potentially delaying the next L1 Cornerstone by ~1 year.

Iron Maiden is one of the best pinball games in recent years despite initial skepticism about theme viability
Willy Wonka will become Jersey Jack's next evergreen/fallback title comparable to Wizard of Oz
Stern Iron Maiden experienced playfield bubbling and ghosting insert failures within a month of operator purchase
Jersey Jack intentionally increased Limited production (5,000 units) vs. Wizard of Oz to avoid scarcity issues and capture additional market demand
Black Knight game is right-flipper dominated on Premium and LE, with upper playfield shots favoring the right side
Stern releases approximately 3,000-4,000 units per game annually across all pricing tiers
