Be sure to let us know!

In 2020 when the game comes out, I mean. j/k (I hope)

Ok as it appears there is still Plenty of time to speculate on this model..... Curious (Richie) what your expectations are for this? IF its only red with some yellow playfield sparkles will you be content or are you expecting more? I'm sure it will be awesome no matter what and we are Loving our LE but I am curious compared to the POTC CE offering what you would consider as value added for this game and model? They raised the CE bar pretty high in my opinion on POTC so this should be interesting.

I spoke with Joe @ PinballStar the other day. I've had my deposit sitting with him since the day it was announced at MGC in April. He stated that we should expect a something good at Expo for CE reveal. However, don't expect to have a second game released this year. We may see a prototype reveal, but that is pure speculation. Joe did say that some more goodies for the CE were to be expected but he didn't tease what that could be. I would be hoping for Powder coated door, maybe some colored balls, or animated topper. He did also state that we shouldn't expect reveals until product is ready for shipment from this point forward, so maybe we will just get a few still pics or teaser promotional video vs an actual reveal. Expected shipment start dates for CE models was stated as November, so I would plan that it arrives everywhere by Christmas.

I don't mind having to wait a bit for CE's and let play tests occur on SE and LE models to ensure fewer issues on CE. I had an early run POTCCE with plenty of issues that were all addressed by Joe and JJP/Jack directly. Took 3 months of work but the game is a dream now. Now we are delayed 3 months from WWCF issues but they are addressing them up front and I am expecting a NIB with only minor adjustments when it does arrive.

I am looking forward to JJP GNR, not sure if I will be jumping in on that, but I am sure that with Eric's flair for the dramatic and Slash's influence that game will be amazing as well.

We're all awake this side of the world

Have you considered some live streaming for those who can't attend?

Maybe we'll hear something next Saturday night at the JJP Expo seminar?

A classic, If JJP had done a Porky's Pin might have been my first purchase.

Oh man it couldn't be farther from a family friendly theme and JJP will never do it, its not a good pinball theme in general but it was useful when I was 10 years old, thats for sure.

Ah - Porky’s pin.

When I first read it quickly I thought it said Porky Pig

There you go... check it out.

LAKEWOOD, NJ – 10/14/2019– Jersey Jack Pinball is thrilled to reveal the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory™ Collectors Edition pinball machine in its entirety. CE Production is slated to begin next month! We thank you for your patience; we are confident that this game will definitely be worth the wait. You will have the opportunity to see and play the CE in our booth at Pinball Expo in Wheeling, IL later this week! We hope to see you there.

This highly-anticipated model is packed with exclusive features and extras that will have pinball fans saying “I want it now”! This pinball masterpiece was designed by the legendary Pat Lawlor, designer of Dialed In!, Twilight Zone, and over a dozen other classic games, including the best-selling pinball machine in history, The Addams Family.

“Willy Wonka is for me, a watershed game for a lot of reasons,” said Lawlor, in an interview with Special When Lit Pinball Podcast. “This game is probably right now the pinnacle of what you can create in the 21st century as a pinball machine… this game is going to show everyone how deep the pinball world can still go.”

The Collectors Edition model features a beautiful Candy Red cabinet, legs and wireforms, exclusive playfield artwork with sparkle, exclusive cabinet artwork and mirrored backglass, mirrored topper with multi-colored RGB LED lights, cabinet LED glow package, Everlasting Gobstopper™ shooter knob, numbered brass plaque, RAD-Cals, side interior cabinet artwork, laser-cut rule card, and signatures from three of the movie’s original cast members: Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket), Paris Themmen (Mike Teavee), and Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt), and Jack Guarnieri, Pat Lawlor and John Youssi. The game will also feature custom speech by Julie Dawn Cole.

The Collectors Edition model also includes four flippers, six balls, a captive ball, seven magnets, Wonkavator™ Super Ball Lock, spinning Everlasting Gobstopper™, Red Most Secret Machine™, Oompa Loompa™ camera sculpture, 7” Wonkavision™ LCD, a 27” HD LCD screen with interactive 3D animations, and candy-colored LED light shows.

Gameplay features four multiballs, collecting Wonka Bars™, spelling Scrumdiddlyumptious™, touring Wonka’s Factory™, and a host of other goodies to lead you down the chocolate river to three wizard modes, including Pure Imagination™. Scenes and dialogue from the original 1971 film directed by Mel Stuart, starring Gene Wilder, are showcased bringing this exciting theme to life.

the topper ......

At long last! An update!!

lol

$12,500?

I thought $6500 for my WOZ was a bit insane....

Wait the Collectors edition is limited, and the limited edition is unlimited?

The forearm tats look good.

I dunno what I expected but a better topper for sure.

Anyone see a Red Most Secret Machine? I can’t see any differences.

Also, I hope the cabinet LED glow package is more than just white. Otherwise, still pretty sweet looking.

Undecided on Topper but will have to see it live to rate it.

Extremely curious about what the custom speech by Julie Dawn Cole will entail (or sound like).

Regardless of it all, still in and happy about WW!

I am sure that's her at the end of the promo vid. It's not going to sound like child Veruca of course.

I wonder if she will replace the "grampa" callouts? Or just add a few new ones?

So who's the cameraman?

I think it looks stunning. Topper isn't great, but the rest of it is gorgeous.

What do you guys think of the new playfield vs the LE?

I like the bright, bold oranges and reds but miss the buildings in the original in the left lower corner of the PF.

Kinda underwhelming, especially at $12,500.

I'm happy to have a custom playfield but it's a little bit underwhelming. THe one difference I see is Wonka in a circle instead of with outstretched hand.

As an overall package though the CE is great. Looking forward to upgrading.

I wonder if Cliffy could make candy red Cliffys for the inlane drops?

All jokes aside, I do think the game is amazing looking. I just think the price tag, vs the large 'Limited' number of them being made and sorta weak topper, isn't the greatest combination.

Pics !

We waited for this? The topper I was clued in on was WAYYYYYY better than this crap... Ugh... Way to over hype and underdeliver JJP...

Jeff

I like the playfield better than the LE.. but for 3500 euro’s extra over my LE ( 3900 dollars )

Hmm don’t think so happy with what I have

I've had LE envy for the longest time while we continue to flip the SE...no longer! I want it NOW.

Wow it looks really nice...my only complaint is the standard low quality JJP topper and the fact they didn't powder coat the coin door.

The playfield and mirrored backglass look great. I would have much rather had a "3-D Wonkatania topper" than whatever this is. I hope that JJP or some other enterprising vendor sells the blade art eventually because I would probably slap that on my SE.

I can't afford this, of course, but grats to everyone who is planning to get one.

As someone that has a CE on order, I'm happy with the update. I'll be keeping mine.

Unimpressed with features over and above an LE model and some of the color choices made. A glass Wonkania topper would have set the CE edition apart. Red powdercoat looks good with Wilder side art, but blue trim on LE's looks as good. Powder coating ramps is a nice touch but they don't look good in red and should have remained metallic. Meanwhile the coindoor would have looked better powdercoated in red to match the rest of hardware.

Pro delivers full features on a budget
LE offers great design choices and finishes
CE looks as nice as the LE

CE looks beautiful, but I'm not seeing $3,000 worth of value over the LE.

So does the Wonka LE not come with the JJP standard shitty topper? All my other JJP pins had one....they should hire someone from CGC to make them a good topper....
