Jack told me January of 2011 about WOZ pinball, and he also told me about the movie  back then .Not sure exactly but maybe when he inquired about buying the licence they gave him a list of recent licenses that have be granted  !@#.
Anyway it's work out well for Jack ,could be a just lucky timing but better to get it out before the release then a few months later ( 9 months for Avengers) as Stern does
When I talk to him on weekend I'll ask him .

Whilst I can appreciate being kept up to date on all things FACTUAL about WOZ, I am not sure whether rumours are deserving of attention on a site of this high quality.  ()

Perhaps there are other forums online which are administrated or "super" moderated to a much lower standard and where rumours, potentially defamatory material (and ultimately closed threads) are a regular occurrence and where rumours like this would actually thrive?  :tumble:

I understand an agree 100% with your comments .
I thought about editing Jacks quote but as he writes You can put this anywhere you like word for word Mate! so I thought I'd keep it 100% as it was meant to be .

Thanks for the vote of confidence! :)

There have been rumours flying around, and if this message from the manufacturer serves to put them to rest, then it's a good thing. Last thing I would want is for members to be worried about their investment.

I am sure JJP must have known about that new WOZ movie when he did the licence etc...its not like the licence holder/movie company wouldnt have told him a few things after getting a intellectual property contract signed...this works well for both parties, the WOZ machine and WOZ movie will promote each other indirectly...well done to JJP for being astute enough to be in the right place at the right time thru his determination and hard work...luck is a distant second.

March movie release will coincide with the WOZ production line running at full tilt....now, JJP needs to get the 2nd title designed n well under way so that the production line transitions straight into the next title without the line and all the production staff sitting around for weeks without anything to build...Gary Stern speaks about this problem in his last 2012 pinball expo talk which was very production line and parts inventory based...its looking very relevant to the JJP challenges they now face til the company really gets some more experience under its belt this next 2 or 4 years.

Movie looks good...worth a watch probably.

From Jack's Forum
We are shipping all of the IAAPA games right after the show, then some
more next month and getting some on location.
In the production shipping queue we will ship to whoever and wherever
it falls in order.
We will have games at the London show in January too.

The Licensor for our second game expected us to announce it at IAAPA -
so that will come shortly too....

So Brett , seems like a very versatile production line .

IF it was true (ignoring common sense with the production line and shipping logistics of shipping single machines instead of batches of 40 plus in seafreight containers which machines have to be produced on the line in country code runs - which will disprove the first to order, first to recieve etc) and if it was true, why are the first 50 machines going to operators, instead of the first 50 individuals who ordered and paid first...

remembering, on AP alone, there are 4 people who ordered in the first 24 hrs ..but they arent getting the first 4 machines are they....

So the   "In the production shipping queue we will ship to whoever and wherever it falls in order"  rule has already been ammended to provide 50 machines to operators.....the order list, it will be ammended many times more to accomodate JJPs plans....Face it, the lists order is set up to accomodate JJP, not individuals....and if I was JJP, thats what i would be doing as well cause it makes commercial sense.

.......and the machine wont be lonely, it will be in a container with 40 other Aus delivered WOZ machines anyway......but just not in the order people are hoping for...(when Bumpers seafreight container of WOZ machines lands , it will prove what i have said all along)...
As long as it comes, be happy i reckon...who cares about what specific order it arrives in.....

My understanding is the first machines to ship are the prototypes.. these go to the distributors with unfinished codes.
These protos are to go on showroom floors so distributors can sell more machines... main production games arent ready yet and these will be shipped in order
