Stopped by Jersey Jack Pinball today

I thought from the thread title they'd prevented you from doing something.

Jack, from the 2 times I have met him, seems to be a great guy. I sat at the table with him at the TPF and he picked up the tab for the whole table. He did try to kill me though by giving me a jar of rocket fuel to drink

Love to hear reports like this. I've had a soft spot for Jack since he sold me my first game and was very hands on about it.

I was 100% negative on this theme from the get-go, but I'm coming around to it. It's all about theme integration, not the theme itself...combined with gameplay and rules. If WOZ has all three I will be getting one eventually. I could say the same thing about Metallica. Not a fan of the band but the machine looks great. If it actually IS great than ill be into it.

It's been a loooooonnnnnggggg wait for WOZ, but I believe in Jack and Keith and by the looks of things they are rolling these babies off the line and getting them into homes and on location.

This is a watershed time for pinball! Hats off to Stern and JJP for this new golden era of pinball!!

Unfortunately no sign of anything Hobbit related. I asked about it and they said that only what was already released ( lower playfield schematic). Looks like most Hobbit related information is being kept under wraps for now.

Yeah why so many non LE games. I cant see people buying that many none LE games in the first couple of weeks when the LE's were available for $6500.

Man we sure like to get worked up about our pinball machines.

Sometimes I feel like we are all obsessive idiots bickering about overpriced shit no one in the real world cares about.

The biggest collectors I know seem to post nothing here...

So if something is obvious it's not worth talking discussing? I think a lot of people are interested in what the current staffing levels are at any given time at the factory because it indicates how quickly machines are being made and how long many people here will have to wait to get their WOZ so I think it's a pretty relevant observation to bring up. But of course because its not 'good news' it must be trolling...

Jack probably bought a lot of Standards for himself to put on location. Getting some of these on location while there is still some buzz about the recent Oz movie is quite important.

Most likely those non-LEs are for the showrooms of the distributors. Jack said that some would be built for that purpose in the early stages of shipping.

So do you think these jump ahead of those that ordered and have been waiting almost 2 1/2 years ?

They are not customer games. They are for promoting sales and distributor showrooms just like games sent to pinball shows.

In the other pictures I have seen of the factory, there is a row of customer games with the LE trim and there is a row of the standard trim.

I dont think that is right. I am sure some will disagree with me and thats fine but you have people who have been waiting a long time and paid in full a long time ago only to see games going out to locations jumping ahead of those that paid and got this company off the ground.

I understand the need to get games out on route but I also understand that money was collect a long time ago from allot of people and many many time frames were missed. At 10 games a week getting built I think those people should get there games first.

I wouldn't worry about it until you knew for sure what is going on.

Some of the current owners (actually have a game in their hands) have not waited 2.5 years !

Seconded. Some of them that have games and claimed to have ordered on "day one" are just plain not telling the truth.

...As for the empty factory, I know JJP is still running the ad for workers. Maybe people aren't responding? Maybe they aren't qualified? Who knows...

There has been a plethora of favoritism during this whole process. Some of the people who claim that where not even in the hobby at that time. Money talks.......

I don't play pins on location often and I have never been to Manchester or Leatherhead. I know a few in London but this site will help you find UK pins on location.

As for WOZ as far as I know, there is only one test machine that has been passed around. I've been able to play it a few times at two locations. Not sure where it is now but it was in Farnborough, Surrey about 5 weeks ago at Matt Adam's place. If he's still got it he might be willing to let you have a go. Otherwise, get in touch with Phil at Pinball Heaven as it is his machine.

The majority of customers that have received their games either ordered on day one or bought the game from somebody that ordered on day one.
I know that is how Vyzer got his so early and yes he probably paid more than most people because the LE was already sold out and the few that were selling were getting over $7500.
