Quoted from zr11990:12000 For a pinball machine and then 9000 for basically the pro model then there is a really stripped down model. You guys buying these things must have some serious spare cash to throw around. JJP has taken a page out of Gary's book and is fucking people hard and they are lining up for it. I guess I will never buy a NIB pin again. I cant afford it and wouldn't pay that kind of cash if I could.
No, the $7500 would be the "pro". And they aren't "fucking" anyone. They make a higher end pin and the cost is higher accordingly.
Quoted from zr11990:Look at what is on the highest prices one and then and the second. They take more shit off than stern does from the LE to the Pro. I hate to see what they take off the lowest tiered one. The pin reminds me of Wheel of Fortune, its fugly.
Like taking off the upper playfield on the pro version of a game that years ago the original versions were defined by having an upper playfield?

Quoted from harryhoudini:Is there a comparison chart somewhere (I can't find a similar one to POTC or WOZ now but I am sure I saw it). I am wondering if much of the playfield/toys/plastics will be different on the CE. I played Wonka Friday at NWPAS and was a bit underwhelmed by the build quality or more like the use of graphiced plastics in place of actual moulded pieces. There is a plastic "box" over the left side ramp near the lanes that I can't figure out what it is but it's a plastic nightmare. The gobstopper shot looks stupidly basic (a metal plate with a big blue rubber bumper on it?). I just feel like they sort of shit the bed when it comes to really getting the JJP moneys worth kind of value.
Also, is it just me or is the top right flipper hard as heck to see? My wife and I had to crane our necks each time the ball went up there to try and see the flipper hitting the ball.
It's in the official club thread as a key post.

We all need to vote with our wallets. To note, to me it appears a higher % of JJP games has this issue vs % of stern games. And stern has been providing populated PF replacements for some, while JJP has not. As badly as I want GNR when it comes, I’ll probably have to pass until this is fixed or JJP has a better response.
I was originally in on Wonka, but then out because of the game sounds and callouts. Played at a friend’s this week and felt the code was much improved and even considered going back in on a Wonka. But not with these constant PF issues and lack of response.
Quoted from RichieWrench:Doing a podcast tonight about 9ish with a gentleman name Kaneda. He will broadcast it in couple days....Going to talk about my collection, pinball and CE's
Cant hurt right?
Never done one of these before.....
Should be fun!
