Trying to keep the info in one thread. Looks like there will be further communication in the next few days.

Courtesy of the WOZ owners group (1/13/14).

Jack Speaks:

"We would expect to see every remaining LE game out of here in 90 days "ish" as we are told to say.

We are waiting on LE cabinets as our supplier was caught with bad weather in December and the holidays mid-week and he is on vacation this week - get everything made in America allright....by the way China is closed too for a month so who knows with that.

We did finally receive our WOZ cabinets from another industry supplier and because of popular demand they have beautiful digitally printed decals which is what we wanted originally. Too many people had banged up cabinets (operators) and demanded decal cabinets as we originally said all WOZ games would have.

We sent some people home today (6) for a few days as we have some temps in training. We must have pissed someone off as they posted some stuff on that other site.

We are building and shipping games. We have visitors here every day and we hope to do a decent news release tomorrow or Weds.

Also - the few games with the restart problem - we expect to have that easy fix ASAP as well. Thanks!!"

Understood, but it was buried in several locations. I'm trying to keep the announcement(s) easy to locate. Not everyone reads to page 7+ on WOZ delivery threads.

Quoted from bemmett:

The name's Zalinsky. I make pinball parts for the American workingman. That's what I am. That's who I care about.

Hilarious!

Quoted from Skins:

It just seems there are some, well, inconsistencies. At least I see them to be. I'm not trying to pick on JJP,

It's not your fault. But a few here will try to discredit you rather than see that the pieces don't connect...

Quoted from DCFAN:

Why do you care so much about what JJP is doing? You don't even seem to have any desire in owning any 21st century games (from JJP, Stern et al.).

Thanks for attacking me, again… I guess you've missed all the posts about ST gameplay after I got the LE a couple of weeks ago.

Try again.

Hilarious… I make a thread to combine whatever Jack says about the "State of JJP" into one easy to find thread and you attack ME?!?

Quoted from markmon:

I don't see any stle or stern in your collection. If you really have said games, then update your collection. People use this based on your posts to make these determinations.

So we're back to "collection equals credibility"?

You may do better to look at my previously owned games because I've decided to never have more than 10 machines again... Too much upkeep, not enough playtime... On top of that, I managed several Sega-Owned "Time Out" arcade and family fun centers back in the day, including their flagship location. Pinball is a SMALL world so information really isn't that hard to come by when you know a couple of people...

Sorry I don't keep my collection updated.... It's not a priority to me anymore. I'll try to do better.

Can we get back to breaking JJP news now?

#136 10 years ago

Updating with press release about equity partnership...

Quoted from srmonte:

Next features to be cut, we always wanted to use translites not screened backglasses the print turns out much nicer? The hobit no longer a wide body for better integration with the LCD. RGB lighting is inferior to the incandescent bulbs and ops want it so we will no longer offer RGB.
I am sorry, I like Jack. I believe he is sincere. I usually never post anything for or against JJP. But the decals cost more and have been requested??? Bull crap. He has done some really shotty things to his customers 75th anniversary edition and now decals???

Yep! If there's one thing investors like it's PROFIT MARGINS. Bye bye expensive "no compromise" pinball.

And NO, that's not a JJP attack. Get ready for machines out of JJP that are more along the lines of Stern's profit maximizers.

Quoted from Sunfox:

JJP 2013 worldwide revenue: Probably less than a $billion? I dunno; I'm just spitballing here.

Speculation!
