Let us know your thoughts Peter.

Anyone heard from Brett? Hope he's alright.

Well i played WOZ today at bumper and as everyone else has said great build quality and the LEDs are very nice, the lcd screens not as big as expected which I liked but its the proto so I'd like the play the factory version. Theme not for me but overall nice. Also great to meet Daniel cheers mate.

I'm off to NY on Wed, and going to drop in on the JJ factory. Anyone need anything while I'm there? (no, not carrying back and WOZs)

Got to go to the factory today. What a buzz. Jack is very generous with his time, and his family is lovely. Played a few games with him on the line which was being tested. As all have said, pure quality. So much to do on the latest software. Sorry to those that wanted stuff, it is all so popular that jack was out of t shirts. Gave me a signed translite and miniplayfield unsolicited, wonderful.
Looking forward to getting the game, happy to wait, the Aus Oz invasion will be starting soon.

Lucky you seeing all that, thanks for the report!

Whilst I won't comment on the wait the guys who have a bought a WOZ machine are still enduring I must admit to being suitably impressed with the prototype machine at Bumper.  Theme aside, the machine looked pretty damn good and I didn't mind the gameplay either.

Good to meet Dan as well and I understand mate you couldn't stand and chat all day.

Call me a  !!@ I checked out all the youtube vids & US forum info, very impressed, knew i wanted one  #@# went down to bumper, Dave S spent a lot of time with me  @@* he insisted i had a go, No way i said, just by looking at it & the wide body stance was enoff for me to order 1, didn't need to play it, was told it was not full spec/software, i know its going to be a very special pin, wife & kids played it that was enoff for me, I know people have been waiting 18 mths etc, hang in there guys, at the end of the day, it will be here  $#$
