Quoted from JodyG:

Hemispheres appears to have some.

Kurt has one left. He said it will be gone by the end of the day, sold 2 this morning already, his words were "feeding frenzy is on". I just bought one from the pinball company, should have it next week.

This pinball stuff is nutz, I originally wanted a Addams Fam, then thought get something newer with new options figured out the Willy Wonk was by far the best game, waffled around a week or two and now this. I called over 30 shops looking for one in stock, found a couple and bought one today. Many dealers said the CE will be over 15k next week.

How did I get sucked into buying a pinball machine for over 12k?

Quoted from Mike_J:

Does anyone deal on the CE?

Not one did for me who had them in stock, only found 2 places that even had them. One place sold me one only to call back and say sorry it was already sold.

Quoted from romulusx:

I’ve played a lot of MM and it’s funny as fuck but it’s not the shooter and half the game as Wonka is

I am a new guy (old though) here and new modern day pinball buyer. I have always enjoyed pinball with my limited skills and old machine T2 in my home. So I decided to use some of my new found fortune to buy some pinball machines. I went through many lists and tried many machines. WW just kept jumping out as the best machine I could get. Looked at some 9/10 older games like Addams, Twilight, and new games like MM, WO.

I can tell you as an outsider looking for fun shooting all around themed game WW is head a shoulders above every other pin out there for us new buyers. I hated chasing games and the crazy pricing but wanted the best playing, attractive game for myself and other who come over. My wife is a Guns and Roses lover and we said what happens when others come over like the neighbor kids? They won't even know who Guns and Roses are, but Willie will draw them in like kids to candy. I wanted Led Zepplin cuz it reminded me of T2 so much with the ramps and love that, my wife does not like Led Zepplin so no dice. The other game that was a close second was WO but I did not like the maintenance issues it was having so it moved down to my number 2 machine. I may get a WO after WW gets good and broke in. I am wondering if one gets Jersey Jacks burn out cuz the games all have simular looks?

Quoted from Grindle3:

I currently have 28 CE models in stock at classicgamerooms.com. We are not price gouging like some dealers.

In the pinball world what does selling fast mean? 2 a week? How many did you sell today?

Thanks

Quoted from Northstar1976:

What do we think about price for CE ahead? I think JJP did NOT sell all 5000 LE and 500CE, and they will do a rerun after GnR demand is met.

Everyone I chatted with a distributors and JJ’s said most likely no rerun in the works.

Quoted from Jeffster:

Jason shipped my LE early last Fall and the cost to Michigan, I believe was $187. Doubt he is making any $ on the shipping and I didn't have to deal with any insurance claim, etc. Just to give you and idea about how he backs things up....the box had damage and I could see some damage inside through the holes in the box so I refused the shipment. Notified Jason right away and he immediately had another one shipped to me direct from JJP which I received a few days later. Stand up guy indeed.

It’s reading this stuff that made it easy to pay a fair business man 250 for shipping when quoted and 200 is on his website. What goes around comes around!

Quoted from djsolzs:

I guess I should change the title if this thread to “How long until Wonka is sold out?”
Congrats to the new CE owners

I am looking forward to the CE price once they are sold out? What is your guess?

17,500?
