DPP #201 "Limited Predators?"

Predator production limited as sales falter; Harry Potter CE thriving; Spooky's Evil Dead halfway through production.

Synopsis

Don discusses Pinball Brothers' Predator limited production announcement (150 units, sub-$12,000 pricing, December cutoff), interprets it as a sign of weak pre-order sales; contrasts with Harry Potter CE's strong ongoing sales despite AI art concerns and lesser topper; speculates on Sonic the Hedgehog as JJP's next title; announces a homebrew topper competition at Pinball Expo 2025; confirms Spooky's Evil Dead production is halfway complete with 450 units boxed; previews Evil Dead shotgun launcher peripheral.
