Yes. I think you can still have a very fun n great game of pinball on a BNIB Pro level machine which is still alot of money at $6600. Spending close to 10 grand on a pinny is serious serious money....that takes dedication to the max....I am dedicated, but not past $6600 unless something crazy happens and the model is out of this world x 100.
Buying a LE is the way to go with the WOZ for sure, correct...u would only build a LE from a Std WOZ model if u missed out on the real deal LE Emerald City...I wonder how many standard silver ones have been sold in Australia ?...when i asked Bumper Action the other day, the answer was very very few so far....but that may change once people start to see n play the LE WOZ...Bumper has 2 x LE WOZ for sale at the moment...perhaps everyone will keep their LE WOZ machines when they get them, perhaps some may come on the 2nd hand market quickly..hard to say yet,,and if the prices will be elevated or will drop...depends soley on what people really think of gameplay. Looking forward to playing one, as are alot of people i guess.
NEXT RELEASE INFO - GENERAL UPDATE
Also I am told that std Hobbitt models will not be released unless all 1500 LE Hobbitt models are fully sold first...and also was updated, that people in Australia cannot order the Hobbitt directly from JJP, and must order thru JJP Distributor Bumper Action...ordering direct thru JJP only still avail thru USA companies only at this stage....even if u ordered direct thru JJP with the WOZ, the rules have now changed apparently according to Bumper as directed by JJP for future service and warranty issues.
Apparently, a few hundred Hobbitt models have been sold already....looking promising so far for the second model.
