I LIKE IT !
Overall, i think it looks t-riffic. I espescially like all the detail, and the mirror image silver ball with the characters inside the pinball looking out. It has never been done before to my knowledge. I like the detail and like the yellow brick road etc. They must have chosen the brown colour to give it a farm like earthy tone for the Kansas area etc. I would have preferred the blue colour from the top left area of the playarea, but it is early days until all the puzzle is placed together. The slingshot plastics plus other stuff has to be placed on yet.

I am not a fan of the red slipper flippers, but thats an easy fix. I like the rainbow plastic on the top right side which they have since abandoned ?
I reckon the artwork is alot more sharper than what STERN has been using, and the pictures are crisp and clearer with alot more pixels being used for a high definition result.

OVERALL, I am impressed. I reckon this will be a cracker of a game 4 sure. It just got better for WOZ buyers !  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

I think I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the slipper flippers. I've heard a number of others mention it looks 'gay' but IMHO it is a central element to the story and to me it makes sense to have them in the game. At least, for those that really can't stand them it's an easy fix to remove them.

Here's a mock up

Better populated - still not taken with that lower playfield colour.

your friend has more confidence in humanity than I do, placing 9 grand pinball machines into the wild.  all it takes is one idiot with a texta to tag the machine and its bye bye 5 grand in value !   (on that point, does ya mate research replacement decals before deciding to site a machine ?)

anyway, good news about the WOZ LE.  ^^^

I'll also have to wait to see one in person luckily a friend is buying one so I'm able to play one but I'm still not sold on the theme, I can't use the G word cause it's got me in trouble on another forum ha ha whatever :) but I do hope it's a winner for future releases

in the 2nd picture, the rainbow plastic from the top right side is back (even though Jack from JJP said it was being canned ?) but i reckon that plastic looks great and adds some great colour.

it will be good to see the slingshot plastics, and the last few details. I reckon the browny colour fits in well and the earthy tone is fine. Again something new to pinball is really different and adds something because it is again unique.

the plastics and the WOZ trees from the enchanted forrest on the left rear side look amazing. This is going to be one amazing machine when done !

IS ANYONE FROM AP considering buying the non LE version when it comes out, thus saving apx 1 grand, having a machine without any first run production hassles, and therefore taking advantage of being able to play n check out the machine before spending ??  !@# !@#
(u can easily re powdercoat the silver std legs n side armour back to emerald green like the LE model, the PDI glass aint such a big deal, and i am not sure as to what other differences, if at all there is ???)

On pinside they are saying the pdi glass could be beneficial because the lcd could throw out some glare. Also in a interview with Jack a while ago he stated that there will be LE plague as well as real ruby stones used within the game - maybe on the flippers and just standard flippers on the standard machines ???

But unlike Stern Jack believes that a standard game and LE should have all the same game play features just the LE's are more blinged up - which I think is a better approach than what Stern does.
