I'm getting an LE. I think this pin looks like a blast to shoot and I like the direction of the code so far. I definitely think this is one of the more inspired/creative layouts I've seen period.

I think Pat is in a groove right now. He's always been extremely creative with layouts, but to be this creative with excellent flow is perfection in design in my opinion. I think this layout looks to be more interesting than TAF or DI, and looks like it will shoot just as well as those pins do.

The ramps look like butter. I like that the ball can drop from the wireform down to the upper left flipper to set up the shot across the playfield. I like the 2 shots at the upper right back of the playfield...kind of reminds me of the robot shot in TZ. The third ramp shot from upper right flipper is great. I like that the Wonkavator lock carries over. The rotating gobble hole is cool and should feel satisfying to hit...I don't think its revolutionary or anything...but it's cool. 7 magnets...don't know how many diverters...subways.

I get that some people may be turned off a bit by the theme, but I don't know how as a fan of pinball you wouldn't be excited about this layout and design. To me, fun is the driving factor behind pins I like and theme is just a part of that equation. Layout, features, code, flow, how the shots feel, etc...are the most important things I look for.

I know this statement isn't exactly revelatory, but there seems to be so many negative people on Pinside.

I don't think that's unique to Pinside...it's a reflection of the culture at large, but it definitely feels like we have more than our fair share of bitter, angry, and OCD people on here that just seem miserable to me.

This isn't directed at any one person, just a general observation.

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, and no one has to agree with me, but I've been in the hobby for 16 years with pins at home, and I have difficulty understanding how people can't appreciate this design, layout, shots, and flow. I'm not saying you should go out and buy the game or anything...but I would give it chance and not dismiss it.

Is the pin perfect and everything exactly the way you want it? No, of course not, but there's a lot there to love in my opinion. I definitely think the positives outweigh any perceived negatives.

I think a lot of people here take themselves way too seriously.

I think WW has the potential "change the landscape", in a sense.

Is it revolutionary...I don't think so, but I do think it has the potential to raise the bar and affect the competitive landscape.

Could you make the argument its layout and design is the best ever? Perhaps.

Could it be the perfect storm of gameplay, rules, theme, etc...for JJP and be a runaway hit? Maybe.

Will it have issues/delays in production and can they crank them out and meet potential demand?

How will the new model at a price point of 7,500 affect other companies and JJP's market share? I don't know.

I have no clue what will happen, but I'm not sure you could have a better layout than this...you might have different layouts that are just as good.

If this theme was Gun N Roses I would be losing my mind. I would love to see this re themed.

Quoted from jgentry:

You cant lose what you ain't got Kenny

True, I can't argue with that.
