Well, since we seem to be getting closer to their release, now might be a good time to ask if any of these will be sited in Australia for the general public to play (other than at the distributor).

Anyone got any info?

Excellent question. I'm looking forward to playing the game - but it would be great to know where to FIND one to play.

The prototype is on the floor for the public to play now was kept seperate to give payed up buyers first games.     Yes the ball gets stuck begind the castle gate.   Jack has been notified of the issues.

  Just wish they would hurry up and ship some sick to death of hearing about it...

Thanks for the update Daniel, so Bumper is the destination for a test run!! Great the public can get a look. Wish I could give it a try, might have to wait for Pete to get his.

I know a lot of people are sick of hearing about this game and just want it to be shipped, but I've recently been reading comments on another site about the code updates and some of the features from information trickling through.

A couple of cool things - Apparently Keith has said there will be at least seven multiball modes in the game. Also, a lot of people have been very concerned about the flipper strength to get up the ramps. A photo was posted on their facebook page to show the strength can be adjusted to suit individual player taste.

Code seems to be being updated on location every few days.

Anyone else know of any things of interest.

There is a new video on JJP;s Facebook page.

Its the Mighty Oz / Wizard saying something about the mechanical experience of a Woz.
Its like a 10 second teaser advert for JJP.

Look at their JJP facebook page to see the new advertisement/video.

Don't you have to order the Hobbit now ? Sure you don't mind laying down lots of cash for number two pin before the first has been delivered ?

Yeah, looks like a great all round package. What happens if this becomes a hit and people that haven't pre-ordered want to buy one? Excuse my ignorance, but will they be doing more runs of WOZ after the pre-orders have shipped?

For a title that is geared towards both collector and mass consumption, it seems rather limited with Bumper being the only place in Oz to get it. I suppose in time, more distributors will pick up JJ pinball machines after they've been market tested.

Cheers!
Adam.

JJP have over 1000 hobbit LE's sold (pre-ordered).

Many people are commenting they believe the code for WOZ is much more advanced than what is being released. Time will tell I guess.
I've read elsewhere there are also meant to be 20 soundtracks to the game, but not sure if it's been officially confirmed.

$1000-On or before 4/15/14

Does anyone have any numbers of how many STD Woz models have been sold. I was told by Bumper it was less than half a dozen in Australia.
I wonder if the USA dealers have sold any Std Woz models ?

Where does it say the payment plan is refundable..

It says that all deposits are refundable.. deposit is $1500.. then you go into payment schedule - no mention of this being refundable at all
