Wizard Of OZ Pinball

I like it so far (apart from the theme!). In terms of gameplay it is sounding interesting.

"Hello Pinball Fans!
 
Today Jersey Jack Pinball, Inc. is proud to unveil the left side of the playfield of the Wizard of Oz Pinball.
 
This game is really packed from bottom to top with lots of mechanical toys and features which all add up to great game play and fun.
 
From the bottom up, last week we revealed the State Fair Balloon Bumper. This is a game below the game and spelling targets encourage the player to nudge the ball using that bumper as a flipper and trying to save the ball by returning it back up the lane into play or earn a qualifying game or even to get another ball awarded.
 
Moving up we now see the Crystal Ball Spinner shot that ties a spinning target to the Crystal Ball that will enable mystery awards and other qualified awards.
 
Next we see the three haunted Forest Tree Bumpers and some rollovers representing the main characters in the forest which reward point value and awards to the player.

Matt will be sculpting all of these bumpers so they are unique and add another dimension to the game.
Next we find the Wicked Witch of the West on the edge of the Haunted Forest where she will appear and disappear messing with the player. There are skill shots to hit her and make her melt into the playfield.
 
The upper left playfield is the Witch's Castle. Once up there you will have different opportunities for scoring and mode advancement. The player must also open the doors of the castle to rescue the Dorothy captive ball.
There is also a Winkie Guard drop target preventing you from entering the Witch's Castle so you will have to get by him somehow to get up to that Witch's Castle.

Many elements of the left side of the playfield represent the "Evil darker side" of the story we tell. Next we will show you more of the right side of the playfield.

Remember that there are only a few days left to reserve your game at the Pre-Order price of $6500.00

More updates are coming and next we begin to announce our factory authorized distributors in the US and Internationally."

QUESTION -

Has anyone here (member of AP) pre-ordered a Wizard of Oz Pinball machine ? or is anyone going to wait and then order for a higher price (or even wait again) to see if the price drops when the first few hundred have been sold and they want more sales etc. ? 

Will this machine work in Australia ? does anyone know if it can work over here ? IMPORTANT question with only a few days to go for pre-order etc.

The ones heading to OZ will be specked up to suite Australia,

True, weather you put your money down right at the start with Jack to reserve your machine, to help get the numbers up or you jump in with Company that has just jump on board in the last couple of weeks before closing to become the official distributor for all Wizard of Oz pinball machines in Australia you will get a OZ specked up machine.

I think there are a few of us here who have a pre-order Brett.....take the leap of faith (well not such a leap with all this info around now)!

Its great to see that a number of people are giving this machine a go.    For the lousy $250 deposit paid before the end of the month and the further $1000 in a week or two for the second installment, i guess its worth a shot.

Although at first the title seemed a little dated, this machine seems like a new version of something special like the Bing Bang Bar pinball did. But this time, a better machine will be the end result with some new and interesting technologies hopefully.

NEXT QUESTION -

* WILL STERN PLAY CATCH UP AND MATCH OR BETTER JERSEY JACK NEXT YEAR AND WILL WE ALL HAVE A BETTER MODERN PINBALL MACHINE, or will STERN give up n fold.
INTERESTING TIMES AHEAD.  

p.s- ANT u have convinced me to give this title a go with a deposit n order sent.

Stern will step up to the mark (I think) and we will see some awesome pinball produced in the near future .
Nice going with the order mate 

[silverball]

Put my deposit down for 2, 2 mates have also ordered 1.

Years ago i went to see  some cockney wide boy sell stuff on stage.. you all know the score.. he has plants in the audience that purchase stuff to kick it all off and then gullible punters start to buy crap for "not 10 quid, not even 5 quid... all im asking today only is 4 quid and its yours to take home darling"..... yeh - you all know the score.
Right at the end he asked who would give him 10 quid for whats on his mind... amazingly, plenty of people put their hands up and bought sealed boxes not even knowing what was inside.

Now dont get me wrong.. im not suggesting that Jack is a con artist... but i honestly cannot think of any other situation where people would be prepared to part with good money on something unseen and even unspecified... in fact, a name and the promise of a product at the end of a working thought process.

Pinball is friggin wierd!   

[Caveoftreasures]

Totally correct Gav.   At the start of this thread i was highly skeptical, but i didnt know what i know now from members who have more experience and knowledge of Jersy Jack than i did.

Given everything is refundable, its worth a go for a possible one off, or something that should be special. If it doesnt go great, there are plenty of others in the USA who will be lined up before us few Aussies, but on this guys reputation, i will give it a go.
 
I like STERN, but i dont see any magic with their lineup, maybe a 26inch LCD monitor in the back of this Wizard of Oz pinball will be the start of a very special machine.
It has to be a step up on a Stern or this Jersey Jack will look like a idiot. Ego alone shld get this one over the line, or Jersey Jack will have Gary Stern saying I told ya so.
They both have plenty of money, lets hope Jack has more ego and can deliver a special machine. PINBALL WARS - BRING IT ON !
