Wizard Of OZ Pinball

[Strangeways]

?? I thought someone said the other day on here that only people who had ordered one could play it and it was behind a curtain etc....they must have been joking then......We havent heard much about gameplay etc, and i would have thought the various members who had ordered one, would have posted about the game etc, but barely anyone has said much about the gameplay etc...I thought there were a good dozen buyers on AP etc...

Any of the regulars been down to play it ? 

Yeah I'm told it was behind a curtain for buyers only when it first arrived but its now on the floor for anyone to play but I could be wrong. I'd be promoting the buggery out of it and trying to sell more and maybe they will when it starts shipping.

+1 - It was hidden behind a curtain - just like the Wizard was hidden behind the curtain in the movie !

Great way to promote a NEW manufacturer with a NEW pinball - Hide it behind a curtain  . That's good business acumen !

Like most, I'll wait until an AP member invites me over for a game

Driver boards aren't expected until sometime near the end of February. Also, that was a prototype machine merely going from NJ to NYC (not a long drive) to be put on location. As a prototype, I believe it remains the property of JJP.

You are correct. I said motherboards when i shld have said driverboards (arent u glad i am not building it or ordering parts otherwise i would have stuffed it up.lol)

Does anyone else know hom many other WOZ machines have been sited in the USA yet, or other countries etc.
Bumper got one, so I wonder if all the other countries got a few each as well ?
I am really looking forward to the light show on the WOZ. Sterns latest games look great, but this is going to look even better.

Honestly not sure. I know there's one in the UK and one in Canada for sure... and I'm guessing maybe another dozen or two across the US at distributors. Plus, it seems like all the off-site staff have their own machines to work on as well.

The new circuit boards have not yet arrived
Still no shipping date

Anyone surprised by that ?

According to JJP, it was always going to be early March for the required boards.........

I received a WOZ update yesterday from Bumper so thought I'd pass on the main part of it to AP members. Particularly for those who have ordered WOZ direct through Jersey Jack and may not have received an update:

Many unforseeable issues came to be during manufacture and Jack has been beside himself to complete the Pinball as soon as possible. My understanding is that all hurdles have now been completed and all safety and complience certificates for worldwide distribution have now been passed and signed off as of three days ago.
Word from Jack is well over 100 pins are fully built, just waiting for boards to arrive and be slotted in and we are away.
We have been told our first batch will be available to ship from New Jersey within the first 2 weeks of March (so three to four weeks) and the remainder of machines will be built 1 month from this time and be available to ship.  It is approx 37 days on the water from this point.

Getting close now ........

I might have missed something so not sure about putting this out there....Is that a clue wotto? An easter egg per se?

I'm getting the hint from Jack that things are coming along nicely .

as I posted above, Jack has stated that the boards have not arrived, so any shipping date is speculation

Ant, either there is a shipping date or there is not a shipping date
hints, nudges and winks are part of what has irritated me about this journey
