Congrats to you! If you think you can't afford that LOTR now, your buddy, Jason is standing by with cash.... 
Quoted from The_Gorilla:Congrats to you! If you think you can't afford that LOTR now, your buddy, Jason is standing by with cash....
Heh... I'll keep that in mind, but I don't think LOTR is going anywhere anytime soon. 
My weak pin skills are still preventing me from destroying the ring, although I came damn close (yet again) ten minutes ago. On the plus side, I did set a new high score!
And... I'm Jason too!
Quoted from pinmike:My first NIB was The Sopranos and theres nothing like brand new.
I've only played that pin once at Gameworks in Chicago. Word is there is one in a bar not far from me. I should go give it another spin one of these days...
Quoted from Brokedad:WOZ will be my first NIB too .. it's all paid for .. Go flying monkeys and color DMD !!!
I read on the JJP site that there will be a flying monkey toy that actually picks the ball up off the playfield! Sounds so cool!!!
From what everybody is saying, this sounds like a good pin to make your first NIB. Let's hope it lives up to the hype for all our sakes.
I find it cool that Jack is so accessible too. I e-mailed him last night and he had responded by the time I woke up. E-mailed him again and he responded within minutes. Nice to get that kind of attention from the man at the top.
Quoted from pinmike:I'm waiting for the first pic of WOZ and then really decide on getting
one its hard making a decision right now
I hear ya. Buying it sight unseen is a huge leap of faith for me, but the upside is pretty big so I figure it is worth the risk. From what I've read about the game and the opinions of people on this site I'm feeling pretty comfortable with my decision.
You could always plunk down the $250 now to lock in the lower price and then back out at the end of July if more is revealed and you don't like what you see. Just a thought...
I think WOZ is gonna be the new number one. I really do. Based on everything I personally have heard to date. How could it not be.
Flying Monkey toy. Witch Toy. Two mini playfields. Spinning house. Design for LED's. Multiple flippers. LCD display. Awesome Sound system. Great Art. Amazing Music and sound package. Deep Rules but FUN. I think it is going to be nothing short of amazing. I sure hope so.
Quoted from coasterguy:I think WOZ is gonna be the new number one.
I'm getting the same feeling. One of the reasons why I decided to pull the trigger. I didn't want to end up in another MM situation where getting one is barely more than a pipe dream.
Quoted from jarjarisgod:I find it cool that Jack is so accessible too
Jack is the man and the most helpful person he really took care of me
when i purchased my NIB from him.

You guys are really tempting me LOL!!!
Quoted from smassa:Glad you decided to jump on board. My 1st NIB was SM back in 07'. Got lucky it didn't turn out to be one of Stern's dud's.
Nice! I hope to eventually add SM to my collection as well. It is a great machine. The JK Simmons quotes are the icing on the cake.

Go for it!

Two pinheads are better than one! You've created a monster!!!

Yes i have LOL!!! I would rather have him play pinball than
a xbox any day
Quoted from pinmike:Yes i have LOL!!! I would rather have him play pinball than

Ha! Yeah, I used to be one of those Xbox junkies. I still play, but now that I've gotten into pinball I've been spending less time with the video games. So I guess that's a good thing.
I see you used to own a FT. Is that one worth owning for the right price, or does it get old fast? I've never played it but there's one on Ebay for a nice price right now that intrigues me.
Quoted from pinmike:I would rather have him play pinball than

Amen to that!Pinball is more fun and takes more skill!

I owned FT for probably over a year..Not a bad game and plays pretty fast
its more of a comedy game than anything else not a bad game if its at the right price
i sold mine for 1100.
Quoted from scooter:Amen to that!Pinball is more fun and takes more skill!
Pinball all the way!!!
I'm waiting for the first pic of WOZ
What type of Pic are you waiting on?A fair amount has been shown regarding the cabinet artwork, and as stated in above posts the $ put down will be refundable for awhile longer.
These first 1000 machines should be very special,and if you really did not like it,hopefully it will be a valuable limited edition machine.When it is released I kinda think it will be sought after by quite a few of the RGP guys who think it is a wimpy theme.
I think it would be cool if the flippers actually were the slippers. Just sticking a red slipper on a regular flipper seems a little silly to me.
Quoted from v8torino:Pinmike,
I'm with you on wanting a playfield pic,but I got so caught up in the whole WOZ factor that I pre-ordered real early.You are probably wise to hold out till something more concrete is released.
I almost got caught up with it but said to myself to just wait and see
and i know that when WOZ comes out im sure theres going to be
some for sale from some dealers or private sellers on Ebay...
Look at how many Tron machines are for sale or trade already
I saw and printed the leaked,lower left playfield drawing that got on this forum,I still have it,and will put it in my WOZ packet.It was only on the site for a little while.It really got me pumped at the time,even though I had already secured machine # 666,the number of the flying monkeys 
))
Hmmm... I'll have to keep a lookout for that. All I see is my order # at the moment. Not too big of a deal. In the end all that matters is that I'm getting one of the thousand.
You can email (Katie I believe),or Jack,heck even call them at JJP on Monday and ask,request a certain Serial #,I asked about #13,50,500, etc.and they were taken,then I asked about #666 and they said it was mine,as I was the first to ask for that #. Kirk
Thanks for the info! I'll have to give them a call on Monday and see if anything of interest is still available.
Quoted from jarjarisgod:Now I just have to wait 6 months to play it.
I wish it was 6 months...I would be thrilled to have it this time next year. Production begins in Mid December. Delivery is scheduled for january, february and march. That is if everything goes smooth. This is a brand new company so things will not go smooth.
Not trying to be a downer, just trying to be realistic. I don't want people to plan on having it for x-mas, as I think some are.
You make a lot of good points. Personally, I'd rather have them take their time and get it right rather than rush it out the door just to meet an arbitrary deadline. That said, I fully expect to be playing mine no later than March of next year.
Quoted from jarjarisgod:Personally, I'd rather have them take their time and get it right rather than rush it out the door just to meet an arbitrary deadline ...
Ditto.
Quoted from v8torino:I asked about #666 and they said it was mine,
Still gotta rub it in eh v8..! 
Bruce, would have wanted me to have it...
If I can get IM to play in your living room would you trade #s with me?
Quoted from NimblePin:Still gotta rub it in
Oh man!,I thought you were taking the night off and I could get that by unnoticed,Damn
We could do a cash transaction,under the table,and not tell anybody.My # for the low 7 digits and?
Quoted from jarjarisgod:coasterguy said:

I'm getting the same feeling.
Those are pretty high expectations you guys have. For your sake, I hope you don't end up disappointed if the machine doesn't end up as the best rated machine of all time. Personally, I just hope the machine turns out to be fun and sells well enough to keep JJP in business making more machines.

I won't be disappointed if it isn't the greatest pin of all time. All that matters is that it is fun and has lasting appeal. As long as it meets those criteria, I will be a satisfied customer.
Man I'm getting tempted. How much money do you have to lay out to reserve one? I don't have $7000 for one now, but in 6 months or a year or whatever I could probably scrape it together if I slow my current pin buying pace.
Quoted from GoneFishinLvMsg:Man I'm getting tempted. How much money do you have to lay out to reserve one?
Go for it!
You have to put $250 down on or before 6/30 to lock in the $6,500 price. After that...

$1000 - On or before 7/15/11 - Fully Refundable
