I am looking for a Strange World machine, so if anyone has one they are looking to sell I will also be in for a Wade repro playfield. Long shot, but just trying to keep this alive.

Playfeild is now in cue on Wade's website.
Still waiting on confirmation from the last 2 people.
Have been told by wade it will be atleast 6 months.
Still looking for a playfeild any condition to send to wade rather then stripping mine down to send in.... but if I have to do that I will.
Bumping this up.
GOOD NEWS!!!
talked to wade today, looks like this will be getting made!!!!!!
pm's have gone out to all those who have confirmed, I'm making a list of names and email addresses to go out to wade.
for anyone on the fence now is the time to get in on one of these, with the rarity of this game i really doubt another run will ever happen.
Still stuck at 18 confirmed another pinsider on the list and I will take a extra one if we have to to make this happen.
Trekie backed out and number-10 hasn't logged on in over a month.

Come on @avidlistner you just bout the game...
You are correct, Ken!
I am absolutely in for a Strange World playfield.
And not just because of the peer pressure

Quoted from AvidListener:Hello. Since there are many Strange World owners in this thread, I thought I would ask:
I am looking for a NOS or very nice condition original (not a repro/BG Resto) Strange World backglass.
If anyone happens to have one they would like to sell, please PM me.
Thank you!
I was looking forever and ended up having to get a bgresto.
Pretty sure I've collected everyone's email adress now. Will be sending a updated list to wade this week!!

I bought a NOS glass years before I found my Strange World. It ended up paying off because I eventually found the game. The glass that was in the machine is decent, but was touched up. If you’re interested let me know and I can get you pictures

Thank you for the message/offer! PM sent.
Forgot to update. Wade got back to me said the list is solid and he gave me the green light on the playfield production this year.
This is finally happening, congrats to everyone who signed up and made this happen!
I know this is a thread of owners, but I would love to buy a Strange World if anyone has a lead for one.
Quoted from JAG94:I know this is a thread of owners, but I would love to buy a Strange World if anyone has a lead for one.
Post a wanted ad and hope for the best.
I am kinda in charge but wade has the full list.
He says he is really backed up so it might not be till the end of the year.

I would love this just not a good time right now for me.
Quoted from Phillips88:Anyone need a NOS backglass?[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
i know someone that wants one.....
Quoted from JAG94:I am down for a playfield if they're made. Any idea how much they would be?
So far pfs have been $700 shipped, we might see slight increase by the time it finally gets made. If you is good with the $700 Boilerman will add you to the list he maintains on the first message. PM him for faster service!
Quoted from JAG94:I messaged Boilerman. I would like to add myself to the list for a playfield.
I took over the list awhile ago then forwarded it to wade once we had enough people.
You should email wade directly if you want to be added to the list.
I would be interested in a Strange World playfield. Is there any current news on this? And to get on the list, email Wade directly?
Quoted from Mitch:You should email wade directly if you want to be added to the list.
Quoted from atpcfiaim:And to get on the list, email Wade directly?
It will be done. Just a matter of time. I have one of Wade's Atlantis pf's and they are excellent. I got this from Wade back mid January:
"Happy New Year to you as well! Yes, I will be making Strange World this year. It is scheduled after Fast Draw and a custom project I have planned. I should begin them in the late spring."
I hope it is. I have been holding a second complete game to strip the playfeild from when the time comes.
Quoted from Mitch:I hope it is. I have been holding a second complete game to strip the playfeild from when the time comes.
A second game..! Best I can tell there are only 5-6 in Australia, so the chance of even seeing another, let alone owning, is inconceivable..! The only other one I've seen in the flesh was at the Pinball Museum in Alameda, CA. I love the fact the layout is quite different to most other EM games of its generation - and of course the artwork speaks for itself! Might have to sneak home early and have a few games...
I emailed Wade directly to get on the Strange World list. His response was after Fast Draw/Quick Draw. Really looking forward to this playfield. His Wizard was a masterpiece.
I'm still waiting patiently.
I have a second game sitting in the corner waiting for wade to tell me to strip the playfeild and send it in.
Quoted from Mitch:BIG UPDATE!!
My second playfeilds is stripped and ready to be sent off to Wade as he requested it as he is ready

Cool. Wish I had a Strange World. *sigh*
I have 1 1/2 Strange World machines. A complete working Sample version, and a complete head with back glass. There must be a cabinet out there somewhere.
Received this email today!!
Hello everyone, it's Wade and I'm writing because in the past you have expressed interest in a Strange World playfield. I'm in the process of making the blanks now and I need to know if you are still committed to the project. I am still working
on the art which is very complicated.
This is not an official announcement, because of the art, I plan to run El Dorado first. El Dorado has been made before and I expect it to run smooth. There is another project in the works as well but Strange World should be done before the end of the year.
Important, because of the rather large number of people on the list who never followed through on the last playfield, and because of my
increased costs in materials, I will only make a batch based on the number of people who pay deposits. I completely understand if this is a deal
breaker for you. I am not asking for a deposit until I make the official announcement.
Strange World will be 700 plus 60 to ship. As for a deposit, I leave the amount up to you. Some people pay in full to get the best of the batch, some pay as little as 100. Most pay around half the total.
Other upcoming titles are El Dorado, Surf Champ, Sing Along, Cross Town. If you have any interest in those, please let me know.
Thank you,
Wade
