Quoted from markmon:Sorry but this doesn't explain how I picked up two standards sitting in stock at a local distributor last year.
Anyone with their eyes open knows the answer to that one.

Quoted from dgpinball:I went to most of Jack's seminars, and I'll agree that he did say that they weren't depending on the money from the preorders, but I think that if they hadn't presold as many WOZ's as they did, it may not have ever seen the light of day, they needed to know that they had a product that people wanted before taking on the massive task of setting up a new pinball manufacting facility and all that that entails! The preorder/pay was showing your faith in the project, in exchange you got a better price.
As far as the standards/LE thing goes, Jack did say in several talks that they would be producing standard models along with the LE's, just no one really seemed to listen when he said it
Way back when Jack told us that WOZ would sell in quantities like IJ, TZ and STTNG. In other words well over 10,000 units. The fact that they have basically sold a tenth of what the business was modeled after probably has a lot to do with the continued pre-order model for TH and possibly beyond.
