Why is it that in most JJP assembly line pictures you seldom see any workers???
Edit: I didn't mean anything by it, I just find it interesting. Glad game 3 is on the line and hopefully they will be delivered soon to their new owners. Congrats to everyone that is getting one!
Quoted from ita47:Why is it that in most JJP assembly line pictures you seldom see any workers???
Cause they take the pictures after hours.
Quoted from paulywalnuts23:Cause they take the pictures after hours.
I personally would rather see a assembly line full of workers there building the machines. I think that would be more impressive. I do think its great that DI is on the line and getting built. I hope someone around me gets one.

Regardless it won't matter till they are in homes and places they can be played, so I could care less who is in the picture, and bodies just get in the way of seeing how things are setup.
Edit:
Which was the intent of the picture.

I'm sure that's what the company is interested in.
This was posted pretty early in the morning. The pic was probably taken last night after hours or just before people came in to start working for the day. I'd love a follow up picture tonight to show any completed games ready to box and ship.
It's finally happening.

It's take your child to work day. They're all with their parents today.

The photographer must not have any kids.
They should team up with Heighway, who seems to have lots of workers but no parts.
Just kidding - great to see game #3 in production much faster than #1 or #2!
I just placed a LE deposit yesterday. I wonder how long until these are boxed, out the door and mine is in my hands? Can't freaking wait!!

I have no insider info, just making a guess, but I would think June/July for the LEs at the earliest. Probably more like July/August.
Quoted from beelzeboob:It's take your child to work day. They're all with their parents today.
How did this not get a single up vote?
I thought I saw someone saying they were going to make the LEs and CEs first. Oh well, I will get it when I get it. If it's later in the summer I will kind of forgotten about it, I hope, and then when I hear it's ready it will be like Christmas when I was a kid!

Standards for operators first so that any unforeseen quirks or kinks can get ironed out before the LE and CE models hit the floor. With how much they've tested this game, I doubt they're going to have trouble, so things should keep moving along well.

that makes sense. I just went back and re-read, they said standards and LE's first then CE's. Doesn't Stern do LEs first?

Stern usually does some pros first, then they do the LEs and Premiums. After that, pros and premiums at the same time. Stern also runs international orders first, but I don't know if that's the case for JJP or not.

I don't understand what the playfields are right behind the Dialed-In play fields????? The Hobbit? Was this a fake......
Quoted from EricHadley:I don't understand what the playfields are right behind the Dialed-In play fields????? The Hobbit? Was this a fake......
Yep, the Hobbit. They probably have it set up like that so the line can be quickly converted back to do another run of the Hobbits when necessary.

The play fields in storage on the left edge of the photo are more Dialed-In play fields.
Quoted from FlippyD:The play fields in storage on the left edge of the photo are more Dialed-In play fields.
He's talking about the playfields behind the DI playfields on the assembly line pic further up in the thread.
Per Jack's seminar at the Texas show, international orders will be first.
Ron...

No it's because they are assembled by elves, that come in only when no one is around.
I heard that the Munchkins do pretty much all the soldering...
If your sending it out to the public, I imagine its easier to simply take a photo after hours rather than go through getting permission from any employees potentially in the shot.
Although I like the idea of munchkins and elves doing the assembly much better.

so we're the guinea pigs, huh ?
Quoted from branlon8:so we're the guinea pigs, huh ?
No need to worry, extensive testing has already been done since expo to eliminate any potential issues. That's 7 months worth of guinea pigs already.
Quoted from solarvalue:It's starting...T-nuts going on playfields:
This is so cool to see it happening in "real time"!
Does anyone know how many games JJP is capable of making a day? I wonder how many international orders have to go before we start seeing our domestic games?
Quoted from branlon8:so we're the guinea pigs, huh ?
International ships first because they take so much longer to arrive.
I saw the assembly line today when I went to pick up two standard sheets of Invisiglass. Jack kindly gave me a tour of his factory. They are putting the DI's together today. Thanks Jersey Jack!
Curious as to how long the line takes to spool up. I imagine there are probably production machines coming off the line by now no?
Quoted from merccat:Curious as to how long the line takes to spool up. I imagine there are probably production machines coming off the line by now no?
I would guess that they have some completed games by now, but the early going is going to be the slowest part.

When Jack releases a video of himself doing a flip or cartwheel in the front lawn of JJP, then the first truck is leaving with the first new games. You've heard the saying that it aint over until the fat lady sings ... well distribution of a new JJP game isn't started until the Jack man flips.
Quoted from Zavadoza:At TPF Jack said they would make maybe 300-400 LE's before they do the CE's. Standard is last.
this is incorrect. some standard will be first for showrooms and for locations.
Quoted from sevenrites:From JJP, 3pm or so today:
Another milestone day! The very first Dialed In! Production Playfield is complete and ready for the Testing Station! 0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣1️⃣
The little figure in the upper right of the PF looks like Flo, The Progressive Insurance lady. LOL
Quoted from DeeGor:The theater looks different. I wonder if it changed.
Station 3 is different too, here is the original:
