JJP WWCF-CE Collector's Edition

I know that it has not be shown as of yet - But I am already made my promise for this game #5 and I would be shocked it it was not Willy Wonka. So with that said, I am in for #12 Collector's Edition.

Who is in for this game? Kind of curious based on what has been said for the past few months and especially even here recently as we are getting closer to April 12th at the MGC Convention.

Joe - has assured me that no matter what the #5 game is - there was no powder on the coin door - Oh Well - Cant always get my wish - But I have been told that this #5 Game is FREAKIN PERFECT in every way - and that I should buy two of them. Now that is saying alot.

So lets the comments begin - Who is in?

I will post pics once I am there for the unveiling on April 12th.

But till then - Here is Joe showing me all his love.

What does that mean, you're in for #12? Like you have a spot on some guaranteed list? The distributors I talked to said there really isn't any list yet?

I'm in for a Wonka CE! I've been waiting a few years for my finances to allow me to get a WOZ, but as soon as I heard Wonka, I've been drawn to it. It will be my first NIB purchase and first pin period, since a used 1976 Aztec in the early 80's. I guess that's like going from a Pinto to a new Cadillac. Locations around town only have Stern machines which are nice, but JJP has that little extra that I want. If I hate the reveal (which I doubt), I'll grab one of the many WOZ's that are about to go on the block to make room for Wonka...win win

Maybe this is one of those things of who u know....I have had the last two Collector's Edition of the #12 spot. I have been told that some distributors are reaching out to those CE owners of the past and seeing if those are wanting to keep their same numbers.

My request is in and I have the #12 spot....I just dont know for sure as of today what game it is for...But I got a good guess.

Do the distributors have any choice in what #’s they receive to sell though? What are the odds your distributor gets #12?

I sent in a message via website about getting on a list for a CE, but haven’t gotten a response. If I don’t hear back I’ll just call to give my deposit. I’m not dead set on a specific number though.

I am not big on numbers either - but #12 is my lucky number and I think its just that I got the last two CE Models #12's and I am locked in for that as long as I am wanting a CE Model and given my history and passion for JJP -- I always get the top models -- So for me....I have that relationship with JOE.

If it were me -- I would advise you to not email them --- Find their cell number and text him or her @ 3AM -- Might get a better response.

Haha! Oh I totally get that. I knew you had a special relationship with Joe. I was just wondering how JJP decides which distributors get which CE numbers. I guess they request them directly from JJP based on their customer requests. Wouldn’t it suck if JJP sent #12 to another distributor? I’m assuming Joe has a way of requesting specific numbers ahead of time though. I’ll get my order in one way or another. I’m not worried about that. I’m just interested to see if they will set the max number of CE’s and label the machines “x of x” or leave it open ended.

We can request certain numbers and if they are available the we can grab them. The numbers usually go the person that had the last ce. For example, if you had dialed in ce 105 and I had pirates ce 105, I would (should) have first right to wonka ce 105. If I say that I dont want it, then it gets released back into the number pool.
Send me an email with your name and phone ([email protected]) and I'll get you on our interested list.
You can even have my cell number if you like (608-393-2299), and you can call or text whenever you like. I'm not saying I'll respond at 3am, but you're welcome to text me.

I could be in for a CE but need to wait and see what it has over the limited ed. and would like to flip the machine first
If they are all sold out when I make my mind up - so be it - I'll just get a limited and save a few grand

Why is getting #12 such a big deal? That makes no sense to me at least I guess until someone explains it.

Kind of curious what will be on the CE Model compare to the others - Hope for something special - The Topper on the POTC CE Model was cool and that the playfield was different was special as well on the POTC CE Model.

Kind of hoping for something along the same line - Something that make most say YES on the CE Model.

Have to been there from the start from ALL the 3 AM texts to Joe

and ......

-- To when Joe tried to choke me out....at the Chicago Expo
-- The time when Joe tried to kill Richie Wrench Bobble Head in the shower....
-- The time Joe tried to make me a special bath with a hair dryer in the bottom of the tub....
-- The Special Powder Coin Door CE#12 - Which was VERY cool - I have it framed....
-- The day that Joe chase me out of the bar with my own pipe wrench and hitting me along the head....I have that on VIDEO

But other than that ---- JOE IS THE BEST -- BEST DISTRIBUTOR EVER (AT LEAST IN MY EYES) ...

On a side note -- If anyone really wants a Bobble Head and promise to not abuse him and try to kill him or use it for shooting practice - PM me and I will put you on a list - I am going to place my order for some more and willing to give some out to those that like the Richie Wrench Character.
