Quoted from DCFAN:You have to be a WOZ or Hobbit buyer to be on the WOZ buyer's group. If you are a buyer then you could e-mail or call JJP through their website to get the invitation to sign up for the group.
It's funny, I got that link a long time ago and it never worked so I just forgot about it...did I miss anything?
Congrats on the WOZ. I am starting to get excited now myself. Expecting to get mine before June...but we will see

You are somewhat lucky the link did not work for you. It was more fuel for the addiction. Ughhh. 
Thanks Vyzer2 for sharing these moments. Glad to see a first machine arriving at home.
Quoted from absocountry2:Actually you misquoted the tile, it is "WOZ is in my home" not house. Home implies a much more personal message over house. I invite people to come to my house all the time but not everybody gets to be part of my home.
English is too complicated for me !!

LOL - 26,000 posts give or take... but who's counting.
Congratulations! Any interest in sharing your invoice number to give the rest of us some perspective? haha...
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:That's very cool indeed... Congrats! You are the first to post you rec'vd your WOZLE.
BTW: Congrats to DCFAN as well. I started a Contest on JJ's WOZ Forum "Guess the date of the first arrival of WOZ". We've been patiently waiting for this date, and DCFAN guessed the closest.
He wins a signed WOZ backglass from JJP.
Congrats to both, and all the new arrivals soon.
Kerry Richard
I was closest tbf
Congrats to DCFAN though
Quoted from DCFAN:Markmon, you have really become one of the primary buzzkills of this site.
I agree have some respect foo. Here's a dilemma for ya, stay off the site with your smart ass comments.

Careful, I got a ban vote for saying this in another thread! Ignore has worked well for me since then. I'm glad I didn't even have to read whatever he said here.
Quoted from chocky909:I do like the writing on the plaque although I reckon the addition of zeros might take the shine off some peoples' ECLE numbers. If I ordered WOZECLE no.69 or no.666 but the plaque says 0069/1000 and 0666/1000 they sort of lose their impact. I had 909 til I bailed and 0909/1000 wouldn't have been as cool.
I just saw pics of the wozecle the seattle pin museum got, and it looked to me like it just had 3 digits total, with no leading zeros, but the pic wasn't that good.
Regardless, I guess you really lucked out canceling your woz order as you might have gotten a zero in front of your number LOL!
But I bet Jack would make you another number plate if you wanted without the zero...

Seattle was a special unit. It was numbered 1/1.

maybe this was done to prevent people from altering the numbers themself? Example making a 325 into a 25?
Good for you!!
Your family look every excited.
I think everyone is getting a bit crazy anxious now.
Thanks for posting.
Quoted from Pinchroma:This video is a bit old but you get to see a random crystal ball mode and munchkin frenzy and a wizard award. This is only a few new bits.
Note the modes stack so at first when I lit frenzy, lights out was still running till one ball drained. Crystal ball modes are 2 ball multi's
You also get to see new lighting effects. Some in attract mode. You get to see the blue "flash" when you hit a "ball" target.
I finally got around to *paying attention* to this video... wow, Keith is really outdoing himself on the lighting! That "blue flash" is great, and his attract mode patterns seem to keep getting fancier!

Man, this is cool. I can't wait to see what JJP is going to do on the Hobbit. I've got to stop typing because I can't keep the drool off my keyboard.
My impression is that WOZ is going to change pinball permanently for the better. Existing DMDs, operating systems, and incandescent lighting may start seeming like EMs ... Old school.
Congratulations on the new pin in the home.
I really like how some of the lighting effects are progressing from Pinchroma's video. Nice stuff.
Congratulations on the delivery and un-boxing! Always a fun time!

Thanks for posting the video Alex. The game has really come a long way since I last played it at MGC. Great to see that there are finally munchkin and Crystal Ball modes implemented. And the light show looks incredible!
Quoted from Crash:77 thumbs down, that's gotta be a record.
And counting. I do my best 
A few more things, now that I'm back with the living.
The machine has SO many cool things going on that sometimes you just forget and the ball drains! I start looking at the Crystal Ball Animation and get hypnotized. The ball zips around to the mini playfield and I forget to hit the flipper! Ya gotta get used to it!
AND, when Jack put up the diagnostic screens...holy shit! It's like being at Nasa. I mean, EVERYTHING can be adjusted and checked. Also, under the playfield, so much stuff is Plug In as opposed to solder.
...I can't wait to go back over to Dave's and REALLY put some time in on this! (we'll send the family out to a movie or something)

Apparently there was/is a reason(s) why. This is what Jersey Jack said regarding this...
"There will be a number displayed on screen - it will be in the attract mode and say #666 of 1,000 etc without the zero.
There is a printed certificate that also has the game number #666 of 1,000 so that's without the zero too.
I did NOT want to have the card without that zero.
Lots of thought went into every detail of this game."
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:Lots of thought went into every detail of this game."
Yes...and it's a continuing process. Jack already talked about other things happening with future updates. (Including some cool stuff with the Topper)
Quoted from markmon:And counting. I do my best
You need to talk to your buddy PDXGeek then, because he actually gave you a thumbs up for your post.
I'm shocked by this recent turn of events.
Quoted from Crash:77 thumbs down, that's gotta be a record.
It's up to 85 now.

The first time I played WOZ was at Two Bit Retro Arcade in NYC a few months ago. Just a prototype machine on location. I played a bunch of games and then took a break and coined up a game on Junkyard... It felt so small and boring, and JY is a game I like. I had to go right back to WOZ to feel like I was playing pinball again. WOZ just has "IT".
Quoted from spfxted:What's the maximum size for a video here?
Don't think you can directly upload video to pinside. Most people put on Youtube and include link within post.
I may have figured it out. Try this.
Fun stuff. Everything was hooked up and ready to go. The machine was fired up (very fast, I might add) and Dave was ready to play the First Game....but then, something terrible happened... 
Really Ted? You didn't know how to upload to YouTube?? Just crank out a full HD video and throw it at the uploader, it will work.
Quoted from Pinchroma:HAHAHAHAH No balls in the game
Ok, who HASN'T done that??? Nice! I usually do it right after that quick repair I had to flip the playfield up for.
Ok...this one is better...not full rez...but you get the idea

That was funny
Quoted from DCFAN:That was funny
lol THAT'S what i was going for.
We have all done that. The worst is when you put the glass back on and put the lockdown bar in, boot up, bah..

That still doesn't answer the question of "Why?" it was done. It just says "thought" was put into it and the end result is that some things don't have a leading zero and some do.
Typical salesman. They never answer the actual question posed to them. 
Quoted from Pinchroma:The worst is when you put the glass back on and put the lockdown bar in, boot up, bah
Nope. The worst is when you do all that and press Start and the game is trying to kick a ball up to the shooter lane, but the polishing rag you stuffed into the ball eject to keep them from falling out when the pf is lifted is still there Did it last night!
