Wizard Of OZ Pinball

[Pop Bumper Pete]

WOZ will be worth the wait and the next few will be awesome. Stern will now have follow suit. Now we all win because of JJP. If Stern doesnt, JJP will get peoples money.

he will need to come up with something more manly than WOZ and the Hobbit

WOZ will be worth the wait and the next few will be awesome.

I am still not convinced that this machine will 'Blow us away'
Some of it is great, but some of it (the spinning house, mainly) looks over the top and will add little to gameplay

WOZ is so "different", it makes it attractive to collectors.

? What widebody machines have bright emerald green side armour, classic old school artwork with the clarity of 2012 graphics on them.

The fact that it is so different makes it eye candy x 10 for me, and the other 1000 people who jumped on it. The audio will be different, again, who has heard the WOZ theme song on a pinball machine before. Again, just being different gives something new, and new is what sells products.

The Hobbitt (will sell) bigtime because its basically going to be a 2012 version of L:ord of the rings. The artwork will carry the game in every way. it will sell a few thousand without even trying. There are too many cashed up pinball collectors always loking for something new.

Just like the Marvel Super Hero pinny will sell shit loads from Stern, as will the Resident evil etc etc. Selling 1000 machines is more than enough for Stern or JJP to make a title with the money they easily get. That means every title is almost a foregone conclusion, unless u make a yukky one like Roilling stones with the moving target. But the pommies loved it and the euro countries bought heaps of them.
They still sold lots in Australia as well. If u can sell Rolling Stones without effort, any title is almost bullet proof.

WOZ will be eye candy. and who doesnt want to give one a try and have a few games. everyone is looking forward to playing one.

I will wager it will happen. STERN are making money on these machines, dont worry about that.

Just look at how little equipment now goes into making a machine, look at how cheap parts are today, incl electronics, and u will see the big profits in a pinball machine.

stern will just charge more, people will pay it. after all, they are all luxury items.lol

CoT, I have been on board the Woz train since the begining
AS I have posted, some of what has been seen has been good, but some of it has left me scratching my head

Also, a big part of a modern game is reliant on the software, and we will not know how good that is until the games are shipped

It has taken Jack more than two years (and counting) to give us Woz

Jack only announced JJP in January 2011. That makes it 14 months and counting (who knows if or how much he did before that, but it's immaterial).

Hello new person and welcome to the forum 

sunshine, lolly pops

Jersy Jack appeared on a podcast in January 2011, announcing WoZ, either there or in a post on RGP, he had indicated that he had been working on this already for 12 months
It does take a while for even an experienced pinball designer to come up with a playfield


Have a nice day

Enjoy Guys , this is an awesome post 



Greetings Pinball Fans,
 
Today we show some pictures as things progress in the production phase @ JJP. Ken Holland and Roger Harris have just finished construction on our 300+ ft assembly line. More may be added but it's a great beginning..... They have started to build up the line work stations which will have specific parts and tools for each worker on the line. They have also started to build the line fixtures for the assembly of the upper playfields. We have received about half of the 100 JJP custom playfield rotisseries and cabinet carts which will enable production.
 


There's also a candid shot of the final version prototype cabinet fromthe MC, all primed ready for decals. It received its final blessing last week and that now starts the production of 1500 cabinets. The picture also shows a sneak peek of the underside of a prototype (not final) playfield.
 
JP is still hard at work creating the animation for the LCD. People are asking for a bit more of them so we go to the characters in a "Happy Dance" that will be used as an element of a larger award screen. The video below is a small example of how JP captures scenes from the movie, and is able to customize how the characters move and interact on the screen based on different situations during game play.
 
Below is a shot of the comparisons showing the Proprietary INVISIGLASS™ which will be available for sale and in stock within the next two weeks. More details to follow.
 
This update would have been completed sooner if Chris Ward did not tie us up so long on the phone!
 
We also wanted to wish our very good friend and Big Pinball Maven, David Baron a very Happy Birthday today!
