In addition to the game, I have to comment on PinballSTAR. I met Joe at the booth and what a great guy. He explained the game to me, he always had a smile, and he answered all questions. Seems like a quality family run business. If (and more likely when) I finally put my order it, it will be with PinballSTAR. Just a first rate operation and I suggest that if you are interested in a JJ machine, you give them a call.

Jeff -

WOW - Thanks so much for the kind words ! I enjoyed meeting you and everyone else. We are collectors ourselves first and foremost so the chance to meet new friends in the hobby is a great bonus to the business side of the hobby.

The show went over very well for us - 3 WOZ games enjoyed by everyone.

I really had a great time standing next to the machines guiding people to the rules and what to shoot for and what would happen if they achieved certain things. It was fun to see them realize the rules (even at this unfinished stage) are really fun.

We sold a lot of Invisiglass at our special price we ran with JJP of $ 295 1st sheet and 2nd at 1/2 off - essentially $ 450 for 2 sheets standard OR wide. It was great to have alot of people come back for more after their previous purchases or all the first timers who were excited about it after seeing it on the games there.

I haven't tallied up the amounts yet - but also did get some nice donations both at our booth and at the tournament area in our donation jars for our PinballSTAR charity - where we are donation a portion of every game sale to a fund to buy and donate a WOZ (hopefully many as time goes on) to a Children's Hospital. I will figure all that out in the next day or so and post a thread with the results of Allentown sales and donations and also our current total. Prior to Allentown we were at about $ 3,000 !

We hope everyone enjoyed the free tshirt giveaway for those at the door Friday AM and the WOZ trading cards we had made up as an entry giveaway as you walked in ! Just some extra little bonus's for those who supported the show by coming !

I have to put a few thank yous out there for some folks who made the show a great success for us at our booth :

1. Ivan for putting on the show and expanding it to what it is today. It's alot of work to put on a show and I hope everyone thanked him for his efforts when they saw him. The staff at the show too was phenomenal from the ladies at the front
2. Chris from Lehigh Valley Expo for the great job in decorating our booth in emerald green carpet and our yellow curtains. I wanted to jazz up the booth so it was nice looking for everyone and was a good display for the great looking WOZ game.
3. Jack and the JJP staff who helped all weekend - Especially Larry and Alex who were willing to drop whatever they were doing to look at the games if they needed attention and to answer any questions. Also to Mark and Lorenzo at Pinnovators for putting the subwoofer on one game and the headphones so everyone could experience thier coin door headphone kit and subwoofer upgrade - they sounded great !
4. Steve at RockFantasy who ran the tournament. We donated some Ipods as prizes and in exchange Steve dontated a portion of the entry fees for Friday and had donation jars out there for contributions to our WOZ Children's Hospital charity fund ! We look forward to supporting the tournament again next year.
5. Paul from Virtuapin.net - How about that quality machine he brought for our booth ? Everyone loved it. The little mini-cabinet in the back of the booth was also a HUGE hit - everyone loved it - we were pleasantly surprised. We did get that machine to Andy who runs the Sandy Hook Arcade in CT - where the school shootings were - it's going there in that arcade Andy started to help the community heal. PinballSTAR donated our cut and Paul took an enormous amount off the price due to the cause to work with what they had available for purchases at the show. Hats off to both those guys - I'm glad it went there to be enjoyed by the kids !
6. Oh and we hope you didn't forget to tip your bathroom attendants ! LOL

Our phone has been busy today with inquiries and orders from more who are looking to buy the WOZ after seeing it in person and realizing what a quality machine it is. The rules are coming along great and alot of people commented on that as well.
