23% of WOZ coming to Australia??... thats REALLY good figures and suprising i must say... seeing as weve been told they only managed to sell 1000 thats 230 of them coming here   #@#

That's a huge figure - but does it really come as a surprise ? I'd be interested to know factual evidence of Stern's export numbers to Australia - if it is around 25% I would not be surprised.

WOZ figures clearly show that pinball is a growing and thriving industry in Australia. Imagine the figures if either company marketed and promoted ?

Australians are noted "early adopters" of technology.

57% of us have smart phones, compared to USA (38%), UK (53.1%), France (40%), Italy (39%), Spain (37%), and Germany (32%).

We love to gossip, so don't need advertising, just show us a new toy, and if someone else has one, we'll grab one too thanks.

I have a smart phone cos when i asked for a normal phone that just rings and lets me make calls the girl laughed and told me they arent available anymore... my "smart" phone is not personal choice... so counteract this i refuse to have any "App" things, have not synched to my computer, have never updated it and have absolutely no idea how to use it to be honest.

The 23% is of games sold though distributors

But that number is still over 100 machines

Must of been sleeping when the thread was started .
$10k maybe if Bumper was to profiteer , way before they got the Dist I spoke to Jack about this and he was totally against it ,price must be kept relevant.
Jack will sell anyone a WOZ or a Hobbit direct, no need to go through Bumper at all if you don't want .I will only go direct .
As for the standard Woz , I believe the figure is way over 200 sold.
I speak with Jack nearly every other day , things are coming along nicely .Shipping should be very soon ( weeks away )
First to pay is the first to play  ^^^

I contacted JJP and they advised me I should go through bumper as well, and they passed on my contact to them. No mention of direct buying.

Wow! Thanks Swinks, that looks awesome!

Never thought how good the LCD would be for adjustments etc, but the gameplay stuff (1 ball locked etc) really look good too.

Can't wait to see Stern play catch up with that!!

Thanks Swinksy, what a excellent video. Makes the machine look awesome.

The only query, is the avail shots from the bottom 2 flippers, it seems 90 percent are straight up the middle to the top right ramp, and rarely do u get up the left ramp, but it would be great to see the gameplay from a different angle and another player as well shooting different shots etc.

I think people will be happy to see such a clear video for a change.

Anyone else notice at 2:26 that the green powdercoat looks like it has completely worn away from the straight section of the main ramp? Or is it a trick of the light?

Will look for the missing powdercoat... also, it does seem to be central ramp heavy for game play but the narrator does say that they will demonstrate a short game featuring the main multiball.. which from this video seems to be achieved via main central ramp

On viewing a couple more times in 1080 high def it looks just to be a trick of the light.
