Bumper.
And the prices had gone up since i checked the month or so before.
They also had LE models avail as well. Not sure what the go is this week, whether they have sold out again or not.

Still no link to AUS$10,000 for a WOZ..

JJP has also said u cannot order direct from them if u live in Australia for the Hobbitt. I have that on email from JJP.
You have to use the Bumper Pricing which is nothing like the JJP USA site pricing, hence why I say using USA pricing links are no good here in OZ anymore.



We are discussing WOZ and the misleading AUS$10,000 pricetag. I know that I can order a WOZ direct from JJP if I wanted to for US$7000. WOZ does NOT cost AUS$10,000 - that's the issue here.


?? can Bumper be blamed if they only add on the freight, the customs/clearance, the gst and the delivery for Aust customers.

I mean, $8795 in the USA is alot of money, alot of money, but by the time it gets here with all the add ons, what can Bumper do ? they have to make a dollar and pay all the costs. The problem is, the std silver WOZ here is more than the original LE pricing. Freight, customs, gst n delivery, plus the Bumper profit, kills it. Is it Bumpers fault, or shld JJP lower the pricing for overseas markets ? who is going to buy a silver model ? imagine trying to resell it compared to a LE with all the goods.

Its a problem for Australian JJP buyers. Prices compared to the LE arent down, and thats the issue.
TonyT's comment is also spot on. U need competition ....

Anyway, i am going to bed. I wont be dreaming about a WOZ, unless they release a Pro.lol   <..>

Now we bounce back to USA pricing and AGAIN, it is misleading. WOZ IS US$7000 (not US$8795) which is the equivalent of a Stern PREMIUM model. In this case, AC/DC. At no point was a WOZ LE part of the discussion !

Freight costs the same whether you are JJP, Stern or anyone else importing a pinball machine. Some distributors are more greedy than others.

The mistake is granting sole distributorship to one company in oz. Stern have done the same thing and there is no competition as a result.

Exactly correct. This needs to be addressed ASAP. Stern have NO IDEA how to market in Australia. JJP will need to address this as well.
