You're both being quite a bit melodramatic about this. This "big mistake by JJP" was .. what? Deciding to build the game in the first place?? Or selling to people who apparently are ready to believe anything a salesperson tells them and freak out when deadlines get missed? You "don't have the constitution" to wait out an order for a pinball machine? What kind of man are you? (serious question here - you sound like you're two steps from a heart attack if this ordeal was so stressful!)

What exactly did any of you do besides write some checks and sit back and wait? You've gotten regular status reports and pictures detailing progress. At ANY time you could have made one phone call and gotten your money back if you weren't satisfied with progress. You can still, even now, sell your "spot" for more than you paid originally. Why the ZOMG!!! over it??

I read the whole thread, and yes, those posts I quoted were quite melodramatic. "adjective \ˌme-lə-drə-ˈma-tik\. : emotional in a way that is very extreme or exaggerated" -- I'd say they fit the bill.. if someone is that stressed over the delayed delivery of a big toy, they got a couple issues. Just sayin

I've been waiting as long as most of you. When it's done, it'll ship... probably in a couple weeks based on the numbering. Til then I got other games to play.

Watch out for those low-flying jokes, make sure you duck...

Good points, but I still think "don't have the constitution for this" and the other bits were melodramatic. The fact that refunds have always been available kinda takes the sting out of it... the question has always been simply whether to bail or not, either thru refund or selling the spot. I mean, right now, it looks like you could sell for 8k... if it bugs you, do that- buy a regular and profit a bit.

I will say that BBB jaded me to any pinball project predicted production dates; I assumed the game would take at least as long as BBB, probably longer, and was not 'disappointed' LOL I really do want to play it and it looks like mine is a week or two out based on current invoice number.

Based on numbers that have been posted, and projections for next couple weeks, it looks like JJP may be squeezing out a few regulars for distributors at the moment, or just finished doing so. Looks like the LEs are currently around the low 2200s and should pick up next week.

This is purely speculation, based on estimated rate of production and what I hear people are getting or told will be getting. No biggie, it sounds like the games are being produced at a good clip. Dan, I think you're only a few spots behind me.. will let you know when I get 'the call' LOL

For the data people: invoice 2262 (ordered late March 2011) shipped late last week.

All of your experience and knowledge doesn't mean diddly squat in this case. Jack said "First to pay, first to play." Once you make a promise to ship product in a specific order, you stick to that promise or your reputation suffers greatly.

If it wasn't a preorder, it had to be used or through a distributor. That person is whom you should go to for support, not Jack (pinballsales).

Well, should go there first I mean. Jack did say he'd support any game right now due to the teething difficulties.

Looks like JJP is back to cranking them out again, lots of activity here.

It could simply be he doesn't have a steady enough supply of parts, nor enough demand for WOZ, to train a staff and fully ramp up the factory right now. TH should hopefully start up quickly... there shouldn't be parts constraints, and it looks like there will be demand...

This is an asinine statement. There's been close to 30 "I got mine" posts here in the last couple months alone.

Formal motion to have lowepg booted from this thread. Stuff like above is useless and unnecessary.

I was going to let this die (you said you were leaving) ...

"shipped" != "mentioned here". Many more machines would be shipped than mentioned here.

"5 MONTHS" != "3 months" Dude, give it up. Guy just pointed out a batch of 30.. you fail at auditing. Also, the controversial bit was this:

Said solely to spread FUD, rumor mongering, trolling.

No apology forthcoming, as I have no respect for trolls.

Posted about a month and a half ago:

Here's just one post, well within your timeframe AND your audit, that has more games than you just claimed to have seen mentioned (15). Hence, I strongly feel your statement: "based on this thread, I dont think they've shipped 35 in the 5 MONTHS since Jack made his famous 90-days-ish claim" to be extremely asinine. IOW, you don't know WTH you're talking about and are trolling.
