Quoted from wolowizard:yeah , come on man ...whats up with the walls ?
Ditto.
Matt - 2 questions
1) When will the wall mod become available for sale?
2) Are you making something for above the rainbow on the mini playfield as a protector but with art?
or should the owners just go out and buy the cliffy to cover that exposed wood?
thanks
Mike
Quoted from TaylorVA:Looking for castle wall info.
I was told by Matt that he was still awaiting release and approval info.
I'm sure as soon as it's available, he'll let everyone know.

Thought he already had that from his prior post.
Quoted from Half_Life:My reason is that if the mod were ever to be removed for any reason, there may be damage to what it is attached to either by removing original artwork or by leaving residue. In truth, it is really an unknown at this point but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Use museum putty. Holds solid, removes easily without a trace!
Hi Guys, not much longer looks like all is well on the approval and paper work and all that fun behind the scene stuff. Should have a release date for you the beginning of the week. Thanks for hanging in there.

Received this from Back Alley on Feb 22nd:
WOZ mods update!
We are still working on finalizing a few things before we can release the remaining WOZ mods. I know this has been the story for what must seem like forever but it looks like we will be releasing them around the first week in March if all goes well. Pricing all all info will be released at that time. Hang in there for just a little longer. I promise the wait is worth it

Ummm ... so when you say "not much longer now .... " you mean?
Hi Guys, sorry on the delay but this one is kinda out of my hands. Waiting on the brackets, but just got off the phone and it looks like on monday I will get an eta on the bracket for the witch castle. As long as I get a test bracket next week I can make the master molds and get rolling on these. I'll post what info I got on monday.
If all goes well this week I would think we could get brackets in stock by the end of the month and start taking order for them on April 1st......No Joke ( I realize what that date is)
thanks again

Matt - I am sure the product will be phenomenal like your others. I love the Emerald City mod. Given that you are this close to making these available for order, could you give us the expected price - or at least an expected price range? Thanks.

What he said.

Looks like April 1st is still the projected sale date.
Well not the news I wanted to state but look like it will be next week on the bracket, sounds like a for sure this time...fingers crossed. I just picked up about 25 gallons of resin and am working on making the master molds for the 75th toys. This way I should have some in stock for orders rather then made to order. Sorry again on the waiting game trust me I am dieing to get them out there to you guys. More info in just a few short days

Starting to sound like the song from Annie. Tomorrow, tomorrow the parts will be available tomorrow.
Hang in there guys I am very please that lots of people want this but my hands are tied. I am still waiting on that bracket to get made for mounting the walls. Once I get that I can make the final 4 walls. I have started making master molds of 4 out of the 8 walls for the castle and toto in the basket is molded and the tornado is molded. So I am prepping for orders but seeing as this is a production part and a mod I have to make sure that they are all the same hardware. Hope to get the bracket in soon but I still don't have a for sure date on when I will get a bracket. The second I know more I will let everyone know. But at the moment I am still waiting too. Hope to have some good news on it soon.
Quoted from BackAlleyMatt:I am still waiting on that bracket to get made for mounting the walls.
I'd be trying to find a different manufacturer.
Gotta be frustrating for you Matt. This delay pales in comparison to what we WOZLE owners went (or are still going) through!
A bracket.................that's what im waiting for ? A stupid bracket ...damn...can I help....I have a Woz and I make brackets...send me some specs..i will do my best to help get this moving ....the walls look great and every WOZ owner in anxiously awaiting its arrival.............lets do this man

LOL if only it was that easy.
Quoted from SilverBallz:They must be using an approved JJP manufacturer to build these brackets.
Yes this it true, the brackets are from the 75th game, they are the same exact parts. The issue or delay is that the 75th is not on the line right now. The emerald city and none LE are. So some parts are still being made for 75th, like the brackets.
I am only making the resin parts, all the new screws, posts stand offs and brackets are from JJP from the same parts as the 75th. these "mods" are actual production parts for the 75th, so there mods to everyone that doesn't have a 75. If this was just a standard Back Alley Mod I would be making everything myself. But this is a group project mod with Back and JJP.
Hope this clears some things up I know everyone wants them and that's awesome and flattering and the second I get in the parts I will start cranking them out for everyone. Just hang in there for me

I check the web page every couple of days hoping for news, really looking forward to getting both the castle and city!!
Patience seems to be a thing in short supply these days, I guess it's a by-product of the instant communication world we live in.!!
I've already given up on this. I think I have a better chance of seeing my Hobbit before 2016 than I do of getting castle walls before 2015.
That said, I LOVE Matt's work!

Ohhhhhhh....beelzeboob cheer up I have great news
Seriously I do. On friday I got in the brackets from JJP and they look and fit great, Now that I have them I am finalizing the sculpting and tweaking a few things on the back walls. I will be casting a master mold later today and working through out the week on getting them finalized.
If all goes well I think we can start pre orders on these in about a week from today. But I have to finalize a few thing with JJP on these parts.

Too late. I've already lost the will to live.
