I believe that the slippers are glued onto the flippers.

If you don't like them you could always just install new ones.

And sell them and be a slipper flipper flipper...

I believe they are permanently attached. The thought from the owner's forum was to simply replace them with standard flippers if you didn't like them.

Why no GAMEPLAY VIDEO??????????

I can take a video of me farting in my game room and have it posted to you tube in under 5 MIN!

FROM MY PHONE....HD!

Do we HAVE to start this round robin again??? When someone is ready, they will post.

It's not "permanent" but they aren't meant to be removed. If you do pry them off you may have to deal with and cleanup the excess glue residue.

<<Why no GAMEPLAY VIDEO??????????>>
Cause this is WOZ club. Thought you knew.

<<slipper removal>>
If you pick the theme for Wizard of Oz, just go with it. You gotta be all in or else buy something else IMHO.

I can think of a number of reasons...

A. Owner is busy and doesn't have time to record one.
B. Owner doesn't own a device capable of recording a good high quality video.
C. Owner doesn't know how to upload a video to YouTube.
D. Owner is part of a vast JJP conspiracy to withhold gameplay videos from the Internet.
E. Owner doesn't give a shit about pleasing a bunch of crybabies on an Internet forum.

I'm going with option "E" as my final answer.

Don't see why ANYONE would do this. Just put something else on there. There are also dozens of cool Custom Flippers out there.

You can already pick up the "blank" red glitter flipper bats (with no slippers) from Planetary.

...all of the above...

OK.

Phew...that was easy...

BAA sells JJP flippers that are of the same material without the slipper.

"I've got to have those sli.... sheesh not another owner who changed the flipper bats!"

It's a pain in the ass to take, edit and upload video. I'm not surprised that nobody has the spare time.

I don't think anybody here was looking for a production-quality video. Lets be realistic.

The fact that the op said he would take video and hasn't means something has changed since he got the machine. I'm not pretending to know what that is, but that much is obvious.

I guess we'll wait for the next delivery thread.

Maybe this will help pass the time

It's definitely odd why there are so many more Metallica vids, than WOZ. New owners seem to like to show off, normally. Even if it's bad, people are usually grateful for the time and effort and leave nice comments regardless.

You know in 10 years there is going to be a WTB WOZ slipper flippers because someone took them off.

Might be due to the fact that only a few WoZ have shipped so far. I'm about 30th on the shipping list and mine doesn't ship until this coming Monday. As JJP informed us, production wouldn't start to gear up until the 3rd or 4th week. There simply isn't the sample size out there yet to expect mass videos being posted.

Personally, I have no intention of posting video. Jack made me sign a 117 page contract and on page 87, section 38, sub-section 4 (r) is the "no posting" clause. If I post video, I forfeit my koi pond, my interest in my lettuce farm and will have to wear a Dorothy apron dress to work for three weeks.

Seriously, I won't post because I'm not experienced with video and never posted to youtube before. Besides I bought my machine for my grand daughters enjoyment and I don't give a rat's ass what the trolls here say or think.

Yes, how dare people ask to see video footage from supposedly proud new WOZ owners. Especially on an owners thread like this one. The sheer audacity of it. Must be trolls.

Ps. if you can post comments to a forum, you can work a camera. Just say "I don't want to post". That I can respect.

Do you care what the fan boys say ?

It's difficult to take good quality video that really does a game justice, I honestly don't think I've ever seen a video of a game that really impressed me.

With all the trolls out there just waiting to pounce on a poorly made video, and since we've seen pictures of the playfield shooting for months, doesn't really make sense to post video until the code has evolved further and more game elements can be shown.

Personally, I'm trying to not look at any gameplay video, I should have my game sometime in July so I don't want to spoil any surprises

Good luck! I wasn't going to look starting a few weeks back and I can't stop looking for new info or videos

dgpinball what number do you have? Where did you hear about getting your game a specific month?

Jack personally told me a while ago they'd be clipped on and removable. Obviously this was technically far too advanced and they've resorted to glue. Bit rubbish that.

Hopefully someone will do a nice glittery ruby red flipper if they don't already exist. That way they still represent the slippers so the witch artwork still makes sense. I actually think they should've just done that in the first place. The slippers look bad.

I like 'em.

Yep it already exists

Translucent red flippers with metal flake or simply glitter would look great IMO. Maybe with yellow rubbers to accent the 'magic glow' off them as seen on the playfield behind.

EDIT

Oh there ya go!

God yes! You'd be crazy to remove the slippers. If you're even vaguely considering selling the game one day the new owner will expect the game to have those slipper flippers. Swap them over if you don't like and keep the originals safely sealed in a plastic bag.

Man, all this WOZ talk is making me want to play it again. Not enough to shell out £5k but maybe when the software is finished and I've played one that feels dialled in unlike the test machine I played a while ago.

Hopefully my incoming FT will help me control these urges.

Go find Vyzer's WOZ is in my Home thread. It was locked so you don't see it on the main page. Nice videos of his new game. Perhaps it was closed due to the overwhelming amount of nice comments and grateful posters. Or maybe just the rampant douchebaggery.

Do you have an iphone? It has built in publishing to youtube... create a youtube login.. and share to youtube from your phone. done.

You WOZ guys won't have to worry about this stuff anymore ^^^^^ That activity has moved to the Metallica threads!

My WOZ # is 848, but I ordered just before the first deadline, middle of March 2011. Jen told me I was about 300th in line and should expect to get the call July-ish

I can take a video of me farting in my game room and have it posted to you tube in under 5 MIN!

Fire in the hole.

I played it Allentown. It was a lot of fun. love the magnets!

Unfortunately my 3 video clips from my iPhone are pretty bad and short so not even worth uploading.

if anyone is interested..there is a video on youtube (not mine) that displays some of the new stuff in the game. I am pretty sure this was 1.04 software.

There were three WoZs in play at A-TOWN. The machine to the far right had the most updated code. I believe this is it.

Can't vouch for the video itself but if you watch and listen closely..you can see some new items. They are subtle but they are in there.

What are the differences between 1.04 and 1.06?

.02

I'm back Baby!
