I heard JJP is taking the WW CE artwork to a whole new level...

Posted in the other thread but last night Jack G said LEs are on the line during the Special When Lit/FlipnOut twitch stream. Can only mean CEs will be soon!

I don't mind the wait.

Hoping it's to take the time to let the playfields cure longer and keep adding more of those sweet sweet extras.

'crickets'

Each sparkle is being meticulously hand placed by tweezers onto the playfield in a dazzling randomized pattern for a one-of-a-kind customized perk for each CE owner!

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 like her call outs much better! Sort of muddled having the two voices alternating call outs in that vid.

I would love the CEs to have her do all the call outs and leave gramp's call outs for the SE/LE. Or let the CE owners choose from the menu which they prefer or have a mix!

My CE payment has been sent and received by Gary at Abel Electronics. Gary is a terrific distributor to work with!

Thanks to Derek (aka: zaphX) for coming over tonight (right after setting up his own WW CE) and helping me setup my first pin purchase! His Escalera made the trek up to the game room 1000% easier!

Happy to report not a single issue out of the box with CE #30. Derek and I combed over it with a microscope, found no flaws and discovered no problems during play! Came preloaded w/ the latest 1.31 code.

Pictures just don't do a WW CE justice. The light show is dazzling! The game is beautiful, fun, great flow, and addictive to play! Topper looks nice to me but honestly you don't even really pay too much attention to it.

Feel like a kid in candy store and couldn't be happier with my purchase. Pictures to share (ignore my game room as it is in chaos as we are gutting and redoing):

Owners: Don't forget to add your review/ratings so we can try to get the CE in top 100!

Doesn't really bother me. Not like I would frame it and hang it.

It comes down to personal preference, but here are some pictures with the mods I have added to provide some real-life examples:

It looks like the WWCF owner's manual is posted:
