Every time I ask, it gets pushed back. So I'm still hoping for end of August (for end-of-January order).

Invoie #2129 here, Jan 30 order. Would love to get it by Labor Day weekend (I'm less than 1.5 hrs from the factory), but I doubt it.

Oh, don't tease me bro!

Is your ship estimate a guess or a recent update from JJP? I'm just 4 days later, after initial orders slowed down, so I'm curious.

You didn't provide your order date. Please follow the OP instructions! BTW, did you get a phone call or email to arrange shipping?

No stair issues here. I have a 4-wheel trolley and freight elevator opens right into the living room! Sidewalk drop off works for me.

Pretty sure that production estimate was shifted to September. Otherwise, I'd have my WOZ by now.

Order date? Invoice #? thx. [yeah, I'm getting pretty antsy about now. No Labor Day WOZ for me, tho....]

ah, got it. thx. Had to scroll *way* back to find it. Short attention span here. Have fun unboxing and playing!!

Sounds right. I ordered 1-30-11 and my invoice # is 2129. Still skeptical whether I'll see my game in September tho. Hey, at least they should have a few more minor bugs ironed out before they make my game!

Didn't you get a pdf attachment at some point? Those don't disappear.

Yeah, but for the first several months or more, there was no Invisiglass, no translites being sold (or even designed yet), etc. It was all WOZ games.

I ordered on Jan30. No call yet. And no call to someone who ordered on the 25th either? Wassup?

I asked for an update on my LE, ordered 1/30/11 direct from JJP. Was told it should ship by the end of the month. So, either production has not picked up a lot, or they are being more conservative with shipping estimates.

Yeah, this is not consistent with the (optimistic) target of 100-200 games per month. Not close. Production is still lagging, and it's mid-Sept. My game *might* ship by the end of Sept, and I ordered late January 2011. Realistically, I hope to see it by Halloween.

You mean, they are still preparing to manufacture Jan 2011 orders....

[UPDATE] No call yet, so looks like the recent estimate of a late-Sept shipping of my 1-30-11 order (invoice 2129) won't happen. Still hoping for pre-Halloween delivery. Marginally optimistic for that.

That looks to be my timing too, then (#2129). It'll arrive just in time to follow my hand surgery happening in a week. Which means it might stay in the box for a while. Oh, the irony!

Really? Still waiting for notice on my #2129, which I was recently told would likely ship later next week.

My WOZ ECLE will be shipped/delivered this Saturday.Ordered 1/30/11. Might have been a bit of delay getting it out for scheduling reasons, as it's being delivered directly from the (nearby) factory rather than being loaded on a commercial carrier.

Sounds right. My invoice was #2129. I think it's coming direct by van, and Saturday probably works better for that.

soon, soon!

I am guessing that they may have slowed down in Sept. so they could ship more games with the updated LED boards, seeing as how the earlier design was fairly problematic. I can see a little further delay being worth getting more reliable hardware, to avoid customer criticisms (the inserts on my new WOZ are out!) and the time/cost/hassle of sending out replacements.... And I give full support to this type of attention to detail and quality.

I think the "mistake" was re-doing things and adding/improving stuff along the way,which extended the delivery time. Pisses me off that they bothered to update troublesome LED boards before ramping up to full production speed, adding features that weren't promised up front like a video-display crystal ball, a cool wooden apron, cranking up the audio system beyond what was expected or had ever been put into a pin before, upgrading the mobo from the prototype level to handle the expanding code, etc. Pisses me right off, that does!

Whoa, call the service tech Pappy. Your sarcasm meter has a blown fuse or fried coil or something.

Today is WOZ Day!

UPDATE: WOZ ECLE #61 in da house. First major upgrade to the Moze-O-Leum in quite a while.

Jack called while the game was en route to check in, even read back my original email order from 1/30/11. Said that production was going well, main problem was not being able to get games made for new orders soon enough. I hope the demand stays high for a long time--with software updates and a timeless theme, it may and that's good for pinball.

Gorgeous game, working fine. So far it's kicking my butt. And I am still trying to figure out a few things. I get a bunch of goals, but on HOADC, is there anywhere that keeps track of what horses you have? Once you get the number needed, do they just stay dark until you collect? Lots going on, have lots of room for improvement! (Broke 100k just once, on Medium settings)

BTW, it feels really weird actually having the game at home after so much 'waiting'! And, looks like my game ("born on date" of 9/23) has the newer LCD boards, but no spare in the goodie bag(s).

In my defense, still recovering from hand surgery and haven't played pinball in a couple of months. (yeah, that's the ticket!) Wondering if there are any goodies inside the cab, or just in the plastic bag strip. Thought I saw green apron cards posted a while back; all I have is a white one that says Free Play.

Yeah, unlike the Australian MM project, JJP did provide periodic, 'real' updates. You could see the layout,parts being stored, whitewoods, artwork, and then the factory. From fairly early on, it became a question of 'when' and not 'if' so that should have reduced anxiety (although perhaps impatience remained! ). Honestly, for all the improvements and 'extra' stuff that went into WOZ as a result of the delays, I think it is worth the wait. JJP is really over-delivering on this game, no question.

And, once it arrives and you set it up at home, the long wait will quickly fade to just a memory. I bet it does.

I have to admit, this thread takes on a whole different flavor now that my WOZ is sitting here at home. Once it arrives, all the waiting angst kind of fades quickly.

Can you post the size for these washers? I surprisingly have access to a Makerbot for the next couple of days, so I might try to run off a couple. Thx!

Don't doubt. Seems like production is picking up. And once it arrives, you'll be playing and forget all about the wait.....

Wait until you get some crazy stacked modes, etc. The variety of shots in the playfield layout is excellent--makes other recent games seem pretty vanilla/limited, for the most part. WOZ also seems to play faster than most widebodies IMO. Looking forward to your review!

(Just more support for the oft-stated sentiment here that WOZ is worth the wait!)

No preference for being a supplier?

I got one for simply typing 'morans.' But seriously, if people are tired of seeing lowepeg stir up crap in this WOZ thread for no other reason than to stir up crap (he has no WZ or preorder for one, I'm pretty darned sure!), then just start reporting his posts.Trolling is against Pinside policies.

No, you're not a "vendor" but a distributor. A "vendor issue" means a problem with getting certain parts or assemblies from the vendor/supplier, so that complete games can be finished and sent to the distributors and customers. Given how many parts go into a pin like WOZ (everything from cabinets and playfields to motherboards, a zillion brackets, custom molded toys, printed plastics, audio components, electronic components, LEDs, etc.) it's not surprising that some vendors have failed to meet their scheduled deliveries during production, causing the whole assembly process to back up.

Just setting the facts straight, including what is meant by a "vendor." Seems you needed that explained to you, so I did.

Who the hell are 'Mike' and 'Sarah'? I'm sure they will be far more instrumental in saving pinball than marginal slackers like Gary and Jack. Thanks for the heads-up!!!

Not to divert from the shipping topic, but yeah, this game has a really nice variety of shots all over and the software, besides being all the above, is very balanced. So it's not like you immediately go for 1 mode or 1 shot to get max scores. You want to build a few things, finishing rollovers can be tricky (not always 'safe' shots), work toward stacking to be rewarded with big points, etc.

Cause of action for deformation. That's just... warped.
