Quoted from Spankey:Didn't he just sell this last week? Wish I had the cash on hand. Would definitely take it but things are tight this month.
Yes it was Buddy's. As I stated in my imve for sale thread, I just bought a 2015 suburban and I spent down payment money I had set aside for a snow blower and chipper for my tractor I want to buy. Maintaining my property trumps my pin playing. I could keep it but I want to stay out if my long term savings and spend my discretionary savings so this will go back to replenishing that.
Quoted from tvbenk:It does not have invisiglass. The one in the picture from Buddy's for sale post was on the truck with mine (199) when I got it new in April. It has factory shaker, but no invisiglass.
I'm confused. Are there two WOZ standard #199's?
Quoted from MikeS:I'm confused. Are there two WOZ standard #199's?
I think what he is saying is that the box labeled with Invisiglass in Buddy's picture is not #199 but was another game shipped at the same time as #199.

Nope. It's the same one.

Yes that is correct. I was the original owner of 199.
Quoted from wdpvideo:Why are the standards even numbered? GLWTS
Love mine!
Quoted from Spankey:First 1000 were numbered.
But why? I mean a LE I see. If any company numbered them as a LE and did more they are at risk of a law suite. You can't sell any product as a numbered system {LE} and then certify it and then make more. That's illegal as you sold it under false pretenses that no more would be made. Very risk! but a non LE numbered, what's the point? Here is 1 of 1,000 but when we pick back up 1001 of 5000 we will number them to. Why does it matter? "LE" has a meaning for a reason.

Hey man, if that bugs you that much then move it to a new thread please. Thanks,

They likely decided to number the standards to provide a sense of uniqueness for the first 1000 buyers. Maybe they thought that would help sell those first standards quickly.
Congrats on the sale to the OP.
Every pin I've bought has been "numbered" only it's not up front on the apron. I have a WOZLE on order (delivery any year now!) and 'don't feel cheated at all. 'Most were sold for $6,500 - a real bargain compared to Ruby's $9,000. If JJP wants to crank out a Platinum edition later that's great as long as there's a market. As for standards JJP can make all they want.
Skins, thanks for a great transaction. It was nice meeting you. The game is sitting safely in my garage waiting for some help to get it into the basement. This thing's HEAVY!
It was great meeting you as well. Always nice to shoot the breeze with someone who is into pinball. It is a heavy sob. You forgot the shooter rod btw. I'll mail that with the mezlmods stuff when it comes.
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:still none for DC
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:What game needs to go to make room?
I don't know yet, and I don't really even have it narrowed down. I think it might be crowded down there for a while. I just couldn't pass up a good local deal.
