I was told they are "done" running these for all time.. anyone know if thats the case?

I have a chance to buy a standard so wondering if I should do it or If I can wait.

Gist I got was that it didnt sell great so odds are they wont run it again.

The one I had for a while and any other one I played had issues with the gobstopper eject.

Basically took forever to get the ball out and or went into ball search every time.

Seems like its just a bad design since ball comes out weird and gets stuck easily... (I know there are various fixes for it).

Just wondering if anyone ever had one that "worked great" out of box or if they ever did anything to address the issue.

I tried all that and the one I had just didnt work... it worked maybe a tad better but still hung up often.

Since it was a short term thing I wasnt about to rip it apart and see whats what.

Thinking of getting another one but obviously want to avoid that hassle.

Yah JP is a wood chopper to me.. I get why people like it but I find it a chore to play.

Wonka is way more fun.

Good call.. that was the only broken thing on the one I had.

Thought about replacing it but figured it would just break again.

Interested in picking up a Wonka standard if priced reasonably.

No real rush so just putting it here in case anyone decides to sell in the near future.

I had both and have to say Wonka was way more fun... not really sure why.

I think maybe the added degree of difficulty and theme maybe. They both shoot great.

Wonka I am trying to buy one back.. DI Im good.

I dont think its as hard as Star Wars but friendly for non players? not really.

Most people that walk up and play it dont love it which is why it got a bad rap at first.

never hurts to ask.. from what I know all thats left NIB is CEs.

Everything is sold out.

Anyone know what flipper rubbers come stock on JJP games?

From what I heard they have no plans to run it again... but yah never say never I guess.

I think its destined to be a classic top 10 game so who knows longterm.

They could always run a super duper special super special neato edition someday like they did with WOZ.

I doubt they run standards again anyways.

6300-7000 for the standard depending on number of plays and condition etc.

I can see this going up over time as the game gets more popular (which it will because its the best JJP for people who actually can play pinball).

Not sure on the other two versions, I wanted a standard so just kept an eye on that one.

Typical issue is the gobstopper ball kickout, there is a ton of info on what to do for that if its sticking.

I have mine at 6.5 and think its works there... make sure the left to right is spot on also and check in more than one spot (front and middle of playfield at least)

I know a JJP dealer pretty well and they were told they have zero plans to ever run Wonka again.

Of course they could but they have their eyes on future biz and games and arent as nimble as Stern to re-run things.

If it ends up blowing up in price like Pirates who knows.

he said they "could" which of course they could...

are they planning to? nope

If it skyrockets in price of course they will someday

dealer wasnt trying to sell me on anything since they ya know.. they didnt have any to sell.

hello no... I love that the right ramp is risky. The game is great because it has a great mix of hard shots and easy shots.

The shots that matter the most tend to be harder to hit which is perfect design IMO.

If everything was easy it wouldnt be as fun.

Its a refreshing change from the normal JPP slap the ball around and win a prize redemption game thing where you hit anything and game goes nuts (WOZ GNR Hobbit).

Put the glass back on... just kidding, great score.

was thinking about getting a shaker...

Sorry of its been asked a few times but recommended or not that big a deal on this game?

Man I dont know... are you sure your game is setup right and level? I never once have thought to add stuff to mine to make it easier.

If you want more ball time just put it on 5 or 10 ball if need be or ideally learn how to nudge and work the ball.

Its a hard game but not let me re-design the game hard.

Its pretty perfect where it is... its not Ghostbusters which is just a terrible design and needs the help to be playable.

Go nuts man if it makes you happy...

Just keep in mind most mods you wont get any money out of if you ever sell it.

You dont want to be that guy listing his 7k machine for 9K with 2k worth of mods noone wants to pay up for.

Once they are all gone I could see this game starting to go up to Pirates levels price wise.

They didnt make a ton and its by far the best JJP game and its finding is audience late as games do sometimes.
