Wozmods offers some of the most worthless mods I have seen in 20 years.

State Fair Baloon lighting- the lighting is so dim it is barely noticeable. Why would you want this to flicker.? Stupid idea and poorly thought out.

Tornado lighting- If you are okay with drilling multiple permanent holes in the castle wall and castle mini playfield you would still end up with a silly mod that lights up the tornado the entire game. Should it not only light in a specific mode?

Haunted Forest- Again if you are okay with making irreversible modifications you still have a poorly lit trees.

Castle Walls- the factory walls are superior in every way. I've seen better looking toys come out of a Cracker Jack box. The walls are flimsy foam with metal brackets that looked like they were hand cut from a beer can.

Wozmods graciously accepted the walls for full credit but demanded a 20% restocking fee for the other mods. It was more rewarding to throw the garbage out then to return them. I felt I deserved a full refund because nowhere in their product description did they warn the mods require permanent irreversible modifications.

Do not buy their mods. Low quality, poor engineering and an embarrassment to the hobby. Save your money. I have purchased 100,s of mods over the years and have never been so disappointed. Some may say I'm being harsh but I have stated the honest truth.

Can't comment on the brightness of the Led's in the balloon, tornado, or trees as I haven't seen them in person, but many of us have the Modfather castle walls that they sell, and are very happy with them, seems maybe you didn't do your homework on those as they have been talked about a great deal on here. Can't agree that the factory walls are superior unless you have the RR version, Modfather walls look much better than factory IMO.

Also, their lollipop target decals are very nice, really bring the rainbow targets to life!

Factory walls look waaaay better IMO, but they're a lot of dough!

Does Woz really need any mods?

Quoted from Pimp77:

If you are talking about the Ruby Red walls made by Back Alley I agree, but they are over double the price. The Modfather walls are an improvement over the standard walls that come with an ECLE or a standard.

Quoted from Wamprat:

Absolutely need, no, but some of the enhancement's like the lit Winkie target are a great improvement.

Thems some pretty strong opinions which sound constructive... with a hint of anger.
Seems like valid feedback to the company... I do think they need to state clearly that the mods require irreversible mods to the game.

I really like the mods I've done - the tornado I could do without but the lit Winkie is a must. The all the time on State Fair ballon is nice too. I got mine from MEZEL and they couldn't have been any nicer.

For the price the wall mod looks really nice with a good amount of detail. I couldn't see spending $225 on the official wall mod.

I feel like I should respond to this. I can comment on the walls I make. In many previous threads it has been discussed thoroughly about the process of making them , installing, tweaking , brackets , fit , finish , durability...etc. I have had nothing but positive comments on these. These pieces are individually carved and made to the best of my ability. I have sold ALOT of wall and well sets ...and honestly have had 1 return. People seem to like the option of purchasing what I have made. To comment on the other items, I thought it was quite obvious that the tree lighting requires to drill out the eyes in the trees. The intensity of the other lighting , I think is fine. I am sorry you are disappointed , as I would have done anything to resolve any issues with my product.
