Man thats alot of money to spend on a pin I cant see yet!

Here it is stitched back together (roughly)...

It's definitely a bit of a leap of faith, but it is looking like my faith will be rewarded.

Looks cool, hopefully I'll get a chance to play one!!!

I must be missing something obvious or the drawing isn't illustrating something all that well—the only targets I can find for the upper right flipper (on the main pf) are the witch and the pops, and shooting the ball into the pops on purpose from there seems like a terrible idea. It's interesting that lifting it up will allow you to put the ball back into the shooter lane but other then that, I see almost no point for it.

Is it me or does that look like a PF right out of Steve Richie's design book. Just wondering if anyone else felt that way?

Good point Jay. Unless you can also hit that Winkie Guard lane from there or the ramp (unlikely). Maybe sweep the RAINBOW targets. Still I look forward to seeing it for real.

Wow, never thought I'd type the term "Winkie Guard". lol

Reminds me of Twilight Zone a little bit

reminds me a lot of TSPP - that looks pretty sweet doing the loops in the house area - fun fun!

Other thought... throne room is going to be a difficult shot from that left flipper and impossible from the right without some "trickery." I wonder how they plan to keep the ball from bouncing out of that. Seems positioned similarly to I&S in TSPP which is pretty much impossible to shoot directly without soft flipping or aiming to bounce the ball off the nuclear value stand up target.

looks to me like you can shoot the ramp if your quick as well as the winkie guard.

Looks like a great game!!

Winkie guard, possibly. Ramp, I don't think so. The RAINBOW targets are in the way.

Well,I would like to try!!

Close. His brother Mark is well known for the criss-cross ramps. Looks like a nice design. I'd like to play one someday.

You might be right gweem.

Gweem hasnt learned a curve ball yet scooter. lol

I'm gonna have to add that one to my arsenal.

I hear that's one of the techniques being covered in Pinball 102.

Yep. The shot from the right flipper through the pops is classic Lawlor.

Remember that this is the first whitewood, and there will probably be revisions to the layout based on how the shots play. The main field upper-right flipper does look like it lacks a major shot to me as well. I feel it needs another ramp/loop or perhaps a scoop shot like the Camera on TZ with an underplayfield ramp to the Throne Room. I like the nod to Spiderman with the "Spidey-Sense" shot. The Throne Room shot is further left due to the shooter lane than the comparable TSPP shot, which should make it easier to hit dependent upon what kind of a hole it is (full scoop or an eject). Think of the left scoop on Tommy, just on the opposite side.

Other ramblings...The ramp is going to be very steep considering that it has to travel over the Munchkinland mini playfield. I count 28 standup targets (1 more than Target Pool!) plus the 1 drop target...WOW

Well since this is now out there here are the pics from a few months ago I shared with some members. Enjoy (Thanks for keeping them to yourselves until now) Enjoy and buy up his machines !

Plus all the standard lane switches... this is going to be one busy switch matrix! Did I miss anything?

Odd things:
* Hole below RES standups
* Switch on tiny rubber to right of Haunted Forest (unless Lion won't be an actual rollover)
* Switch on rubber below Throne Room scoop

Hmm looks like 4 flippers, the two lower, one below the house and another on a mini playfield??

Anyway I agree many similarities with TZ, which is no bad thing so it will be interesting to see how wide the game is.
The TZ playfield isn't well used on the left from a play field point of view. By that I mean there is loads going on but no one tends to shoot the ball into the bumpers on purpose. This looks like the left-hand may be better integrated into game play as there is a ramp in the upper left.

Looks good so far. Are we going to be spoiled in 2012?

Looks good so far. Can't wait to see the playfield art...!

I predict 5 flippers

Can you also guess yesterday's lotto numbers?

Looks alot like TZ which is a good thing.

Wow! Look ma! A real pinball machine. I haven't seen one of them in 13 years.

So is Stern going to follow JJ's lead or are they going to continue putting movie art on the same old pin. Oh, wait I'm sorry they added a 3rd flipper in Tron...What a great unique idea.

They better keep up or they will be left behind....that is what pinball is all about since the beginning.
Stern my go obsolete if they don't wake up. I kinda feel bad for them as they had the whole market, what little market there was left, and now they have to compete...bad for them, good for us.

My guess is Stern is gonna start speeding things up a little Transformers is already in
the works

Yes- yes we are!
And again in 2013- then in 2014....
Opening your first NIB is a major milestone in a Pinheads adult life. Opening a first game NIB from a brand spanking new company doesn't come around too often... Those who did "take the plunge" on WOZ- AND it will be your first NIB in your lifetime, I salute you! Especially BD... Enjoy it buddy! (Thanks for everything!)

I have a feeling (once the WOZ hype machine settles...) that we will be saying-

Once you go Jack...

I have a feeling we may not see the 2nd JJP until 2014 since he said he will not begin building a new pin until the demand for WoZ is gone. I'm expecting to take delivery of WoZ in early 2013.....Not sure they can get them built before then. We are already into July & I'm not sure they even have a whitewood yet. Thats ok though just gives me more time to save up for their 2nd pin....(=

JJ has already said the Whitewood is being made now. I bet we will see this on time (Holiday 2011) or at least in very early 2012.

this would look pretty good under the christmas tree but i imagine early 2012. i am really curious how the lcd will be implemented into the game, along with the wifi.

This is good to hear it will be available to order until 2013. Gives me time to save for 2012.

Im all in... Resistance is futile.

Don't worry about 2012. The world is ending remember?
