All monies paid towards the machine is a deposit for my liking.

I would be very surprised if the refundable bit didnt include all monies paid. It doesnt make sense to only include the initial payment only, otherwise the refundable bit becomes useless. People would be concerned about the machine running over a year or two, or about the design perhaps, or if someone had a unexpected medical or other expense and had to pull the pin...

I will send JJP a email and ask him specifically if all monies paid are refundable if I was to change my mind so to speak on a JJP title.

Stay tuned, but that is a good question Gav, because it is very vague on his website....... !@#

You would think that with machines going out the door on two weeks there would be some discussion about shipping

Yes you would think he would have some system all ready worked out with the delivery times and order of receiving them.

Does Jack think i have a container just waiting there for him to make his mind up.Not very good at sorting out the delivery department and it not like he hasent had any time to do it.

Sent a email last week and just got fogged of,starting to give me the shits now.

Recieved a email back, all monies paid to a JJP title, are fully refundable. Whether u make the first payment, or the last payment, if u want to pull the pin, all monies are fully refundable via JJP if u paid JJP. People can buy the new Hobbitt title with some sort of peace of mind incase it runs over etc.

I am hoping JJP have shipping boxes ready n made to ship machines in, cause the last one wrapped in plastic only didnt cut the mustard.
Also, JJP have said they have 100 machines sitting and waiting for the computer boards, which is good, but that means they will ship apx 100 machines only, then they will have to build the other 900 machines etc. Someone said machines will be shipping in 2 weeks, yes, but probably not to Australia, cause both JJP and Bumper have said all aussie machines will ship together for efficiency purposes etc, unless someone individually demands to have their machine shipped seperately, which wouldnt make financial sense anyway, and would be too expensive to go it alone unless u already have a container primed to leave and full of other stuff.
If JJP build 20 machines a day, its 100 a week, or 10 weeks to build the outstanding machines. Say 12 weeks with hassles/sorting issues out etc.

I am predicting that machines wont be here til the end of May, allowing for the 35 days on the water, and time to build them, so thats apx 12 plus weeks away. Lets see how close we get.

Quote from pinside:


Still no modes.  

The game plays slow (TZ slow) but the shots can be hit with a clean attempt. I can totally see why people say the ramp is tough (it can be!) but it's not totally impossible either.

The LE version is running revision 58. Supposedly it was loaded Thursday prior to the show.

Of the two machines here, one has the Twister board and corresponding plastic, the other does not. The Twister lights do not correspond to anything, yet.

Yellow brick road is still in attract mode (and makes playing the ball difficult at times because it is SOOOO BRIGHT).

The two new additions that I was able to find (in a few lengthy games including two multiballs) were:
R-E-S-C-U-E now has an LCD animation.
The Wizard has some LCD love including his head and a "shoot the rollovers" subtext.

The game is still pretty far away.

There is no yellow brick road progression. It shows on the LCD,but not on the pf lights. Basically none of the pf status lights correspond to anything, yet. Horse of a different color either. (See: No modes)

The castle pf let's you open the door, but the ball comes right back out. The upper pf loop still does nothing.

The O-Z rollovers register on the LCD, but not on the lighting on the actual playfield.

The crystal ball does nothing. Not even the JJP logo anymore.

The game will lock balls, but there is no memory or ball detections working. For example: I locked two balls in one game... The next game I played, all three balls were release as though I had gotten multiball on my first ramp ride. Multiball didn't start, the game just released three balls.

That's about as specific as I can recall... Pm me questions if you want me to specifically look for, or try something for you while I'm at the machine later today. I WILL NOT ask about shipping ETA. It's a dead horse.
