I thought it was just me and Mr. McGoo who couldn't see things right.

Do you suppose they did any market research, like walking up to a few customers and asking them what they thought of the new cases?

And then hearing that the people thought these were crazy?

How about this? Bigger cases for bigger strikes. $5 machines that pay off in the new bigger strikes that fit the case? (total conjecture, I'm thousands of miles from anyone who has a clue)
