sweet.... is there a gameplay video up or some pf photos or something?

Haha this has to be a joke.

I would recommend PinballSTAR Amusements..

We are nice folks, we bathe, and as a little bonus every game purchased we will donate out of OUR proceeds to a fund we have to purchase a Wizard of Oz game to donate to a Children's Hospital. We are doing this on sales of the WOZ, and the Hobbit... I'm setting aside a number of games of my WOZ allotment to save for down the road - I hope we can continue to do this continuously for different hospitals... Ok, that's my plug...

Good luck whereever you go - we're all good folks !

Thats a good plug.

I will add we are at about 1/2 there now for the first WOZ donation and I hope to get alot more into the fund at the Allentown Pinfest by :

1. We donate a portion of every WOZ, Hobbit, and Virtuapin game sale to the fund.
2. We will have a collection jar at our booth for donations
3. Steve Keeler who is running the tournament and I have worked out a deal whereas I am donating prizes and he is going to allocate a portion of the entry fees for Friday to our fund ! Support the tournament please !
4. Jersey Jack Pinball donated two mini-playfields - one Castle and one Munchkinland we are selling for $ 225 each / both for $ 400 - all of it goes into the charity fund
5. We are selling WOZ full playfields for $ 500 - and we are donating $ 100 of each to the fund.

Finally, and I'll throw this out there now since we are on the topic... Steve who is running the tournament offered to put up a Stern game with TOPs button and tournament ability in the tournament area and all monies paid to play would be 100% to the charity fund... I would donate prizes for this... Unfortunately we thought of this just yesterday and we don't have a game to do it with - IF anyone would be so kind to bring a Stern game (with TOPS button installed) and allow us to use it to run a TOPS tournament on it - we can probably raise a boatload of money for it. I know it's last minute, but if there is an angel out there who can assist - please contact me at [email protected] or better yet call me 570-357-0042...

I should have just made this a separate post to get attention if anyone can help in the pinch here...

Thanks for your support...

Buddy in VA (doughslingers) is a Jersey Jack Distributor and he is a hell of a nice guy to deal with.

+1
I ordered my Hobbit from him. Good guy all around.

You can order directly from Jack or the nice folks that bathe. Both good...and clean...

+2 Buddy is good people.

Should be a cool pin... though, besides the name, no one knows anything about it

So, how about THIS plan:
1. Buy a pinball machine RIGHT now that you can PLAY.
2. Enjoy the crap out of it for the next 1.5 to 2.5 years.
3. (this is the crazy part, so bear with me)- buy TH after its actually released and available... if you still want one/ are interested in it.
4. Sell the machine from step #1. If you take care of your pinball machine you wont likely lose a penny on the deal- depending on the fates- you might actually make a small gain.

You've now enjoyed 2+ years more of pinball for +/- the same investment.

I have my Hobbit on order with him and purchased a NIB Tron from him. Very nice guy.

Congrats on the move, its your money, spend it. My Grandma says she has not found a coffin with pockets in it so she might as well spend it.

I know a lot of people have expressed their dislike of the payment plan but it helped a lot of people buy their first NIB. Stores are not bringing back layaway because it does not work.

You name makes me laugh and picture this: http://www.funnypica.com/top-18-weird-and-ugly-fails/weird-and-ugly-bunny-costume/

The crazy part might be believing that your pin will be worth what you paid for it in 1.5 - 2.5 years (especially if you bought a new pin). That is quite a guess. New technology is finally making its way to pins. DMD values might drop.
The last few years the pin market has been unusually strong - they might not be the best years to base expectations on.

Yup, I made no allusion to a guarantee.... hence the statement "depending on the fates."

I still believe if you buy right, you can protect yourself from BIG depreciation over a few years.

Buying a MB, MM, AFM at top dollar right now? THATS risky (IMO), however i still think theres decent values out there... and hell, even if it dropped 20% , you just "rented" a lot of fun for a grand or so...

In that respect, is IS a good way to create a "force pinball savings fund"

I didn't actually realize the payments stretched out that far till I went to the ordering site.

Im not a fan of paying for the pin YEARS in advance, but I see the attraction for others. It wouldn't put as bad a taste in my mouth if he required the FINAL installment when the pin was ready to ship. It would then have both parties with some skin in the game to hit reasonable delivery dates.

currently sending $$$ to joe at pinballstar for WOZ and TH. great guy so far, donations to charities are admirable to say the least. yes you could buy a game now, sell/buy later, but the positive here is that the payment schedule is very reasonable, small chunks of $$$ in this hobby for a pin is the way to go. some of us "less fortunate" folk, don't have 7500 bucks to throw at luxury items all at once. boom!
