Instead, Fields, a slot machine (Pachinko?) company owns them now (along with Bandai, of course).

Yeah, I read a little something about this at Henshin Justice Unlimited (I think it was Mike Dent who talked about it).

Considering that TYO has had some criticisms by fans even before the buyout, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I hope it's a good thing.
