I have all JJP games. I also have some classic b/w, older and newer (purchased NIB) Stern machines.

JJP games are superior in quality and workmanship. That’s not a knock on the competition. Everything just feels and looks premium with their games. The animations and display are fantastic, they are fun to play, and are all very different from each other in terms of style. I’ve had no major issues from a maintenance standpoint.

They also cost more. Getting a WOZ is a great buy. They spared no expense on making that game packed with premium features and toys. I think it’s a great bang for your buck. Dialed In is the best playing game of the last decade, IMO.

Now the bad: I’m losing patience with JJPOTC (boo hoo, poor me). Jack said at expo that the game would ship Q1 and it was already tough to justify a 3rd consecutive price increase of $500 before losing previously announced features that were present at TPF when I played the machine. I’m over that and think it is still a stellar game. I just wish it was out already and I hope they announce their next game right before it’s ready to ship, for their sake. I believe they have lost significant revenue on Dialed In and lots of momentum on JJPOTC due to a premature announcement and delayed production.

I love JJP. Owning their games is not an elitist thing, it’s just nice that there is a luxury line of machines for folks that might be limited more by space than by budget who want high quality. I’ve been a little let down this year, but their product has never disappointed.
