Wizard of Oz
Jersey Jack, 2013I thought it might be fun to do this. We all have our own threads on this, but why not pool our best pics and stories here. I'll start. I stopped home delivery because I had to work. I picked it up at the terminal with my special assistant.

Quoted from VegasAlleycat:Congrats! I hope to have mine in the next week or two...!
I wonder if they will be shipping Brads game to Vegas with your delivery ?
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Now, if you can just get us some excellent video of the latest modes/animation (was your software 1.05?) Much appreciated!
1.04 and 1.05 are the same. 1.05 has a minor bug fix that isn't really noticeable. 1.08 will be out shortly. More huge feature increases.
Quoted from McCune:I wonder if they will be shipping Brads game to Vegas with your delivery ?
I didn't know anyone else in Vegas was getting one! I am about #60 down on the list. Do you know where he is in the queue?
Quoted from stangbat:Luckily RL didn't damage anything, but they tried.
Wow, you are lucky nothing was damaged. I've had bad experience with R&L in the past too and will be getting my WOZ shipped by a different carrier when it is ready to be shipped.
Quoted from sebseb12:1.08 or 1.07 ?
1.08 seb. Increments 1.07 to 1.08 to tweak a few things.

Fortunately for me, I'll be able to pick mine up at JJP. To many shipping horror stories.
Quoted from stangbat:Some pics. I'll save the stories for later when I have more time. Luckily RL didn't damage anything, but they tried.
I especially like your last photo. Everyone is quite focused on WoZ. I think this machine will have that "can't take your eyes off it" effect.
The topper looks very nice in the one photo. Was it ever determined if this topper is (or will be) interactive in any way? Does it flash, change color, or do anything in reaction to software? And if not yet, can you comment Alex on whether that "may" happen with a future code release?
Quoted from j69:These are obviously all staged deliveries. We all know Woz doesn't exist and these guys are all buddies of Jack! Boooooooo
Staged in the same movie studio that the Apollo moon landings were filmed in. Jack; did this one crack you up?
Quoted from Chippewa-Pin:Can someone tell me what the box dimensions are? Just want to make sure it'll fit. Thanks!
Don't have mine (YET) but I think the box is 31x31". Someone recently said 31x30". Height was stated on the brochure as 56", and I think that's with pallet. Weight is 320 lbs for the machine + 30 lbs for packaging.
Quoted from Tilter:The game box is 30x31x57.5 without the pallet
Not sure on weight
Prefect. Thank you! You too Sunfox.
Quoted from Tilter:The game box is 30x31x57.5 without the pallet

335ish lbs.
Quoted from Pinchroma:335ish lbs.
I like the ish part.

Great idea for a thread! So far, I continue to be amazed by the build quality and gameplay of WOZ. All the early concerns about the flipper power and slow play turned out to be unfounded. I'm sure those were valid observations at the time, but production WOZ is not slow at all, less stop-and-go than I anticipated, and has plenty of flipper power. So far the rules are great and I suspect will only get better. Light show is brilliant and the LCD is an upgrade far past due - keeps bystanders engaged and makes the game scream modern. Fun stuff.

Love it! Congrats, good to see the smiles on those kids faces....

Holy chit! That's how fist fights get started, glad to hear nothing was damaged.

Thanks for the post. It's nice to see an owner actually have some things to say about the game. Congrats!
Quoted from MrBally:Congrats! The happiness shown by all in your photos makes it all worthwhile. Memories that will last for a long, long time.
OT, I was at the Frisco In-N-Out for the grand opening in late June, 2011
Thanks. We were having a really fun time. Lots of laughs and acting silly. It was a night to remember for our family.
Those In-N-Out openings were absolutely nuts. You couldn't get close to that place for weeks! I think I waited a month or so before trying it out.

Thanks. More pictures, power-up video, and a bit longer posting of my initial impression can be found here:
Quoted from Nibbles:Holy chit! That's how fist fights get started, glad to hear nothing was damaged.
When it was in the truck, that side was facing away. When the driver spun it around my heart sank. I had visions of having to send it back because my first thought was that something dropped on it. Yes, luckily it came though just fine.
Quoted from sebseb12:No new information from the 1.08 code?
No b/c it hasn't been released yet. It should be soon. I'm looking forward to it.
