Regardless of how you feel about the actors or the emotional impact on your psyche; the Tim Burton Wonka is truer to the story as written by the super creepy Roald Dahl and in every way visually superior to the 1971 movie directed by Mel Stuart.

Quoted from WODKA:Would be cool if the game give you a Golden ticket if you beat some super wizard mode
Golden ticket as a reward would be good but in keeping with the story you really should have to get the golden ticket before going on the factory tour.
Ultimate award for completing the game should be the deed to the factory.
If its Wonka its Wilder.
Follow the License. Pinball licenses have a habit of appearing on slot machines first.

Well I don't think you will find too many Disney licenses ending up on a slot machine. But redemption games also get the same licenses as are typically available to pinball.

I personally would love the opportunity to tour the gates on a personal VIP tour of pin-candy land. I have odd taste in neat but this to me would be a special prize.
Don't stop at JJP, the companies making mods for the WWCF should do the same thing. You know randomly give away gold tickets for travel, hosted tours with the owner dressed up in costume and custom jewel encrusted mods made from precious metals.
Quoted from drfrightner:Depp's legacy is Captain Jack.
I thought his legacy was that Wonky character Gilbert Grape
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:That was my plan for Pirates, umm that didnt work.
At TPF Jack said POTC could go back on the line at some point.
I think you will be glad you waited.
Quoted from javagrind888:It blows my mind that people don't like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies just because they don't like Depp.
Definitely not Depp's fault those movies sucked.

Willy Wonka review dropped on IGN!
Get thee behind me
Quoted from Frogman:Received my LE yesterday and it wasn’t a great experience. I love JJP games, but the lack of quality control has bitten me twice. All issues that can be remedied, though dropping $9,500 should buy a game that has been carefully inspected.
Chips on the wood by the head, stripped screws on the power cord cover, and a game that doesn’t work when turned on. Black marker or cut plastic can cover the chipping, the power cord cover can be fixed, and I’m sure that if I connect a keyboard and/or call support I can get the thing to boot. Better than the huge gouge in my WOZ RR when it arrived two years ago, but...[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks for posting about your experience. It sucks when things go a little sideways but you seem to have a very good attitude and I am sure this will be a thing in the past very soon.
Did you buy from a distributor(if so which one?, how have they been re: assisting with your issues?) or JJP direct?
