Glenn70 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Aussie prices on Mr Pinballs Facebook Willy Wonka Pinball Machine Collector's Edition $ 19,990 Limited Edition $15,490 Standard Edition $12,490 F ME! - - - Updated - - - I love Pinball altogether, whether it's Stern, JJP, BW, etc. But in this day and age with the way things are going, it would be in JJP's best interest to release a cheaper machine to be competitive with Stern's pro model of under $9k AUD. I know they are aware of this anyway so it's their call naturally. Either way, looking forward to playing this title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator GIBO Posted April 13, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’ve got nothing against you with the prices they are what JJP make them, but they are still not competitive against Stern Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk You cant be serious There is more on the standard edition playfield than any of the last Stern LE'S and its $1300 cheaper:lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBryce0712 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Bit of Denari for em but I do like the middle range one here. Got to have all the gizmos on JJP games I reckon :) Still bk pro is 6.5k cheaper and looks bloody good fun... and it will still hold my beer caddy.

Wotto Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 In this case Stern is Kogan and JJP is LG Actually that's my industry and sales stats would show LG sell huge numbers / volumes compared to Kogan. SO its the other way around, on volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think it will be like Dialed In, alot of people not liking it...till they play it! I was underwhelmed at first but then i figured out the shots and rules from watching the stream and I saw a ton of flow and combo shots being made by most players. I think this will shoot like butter, just like DI does. But with even more shots on the playfield. Like most JJP's the theme is not really for me but the rest looks great. Keen to play this one.

Alias86 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 It looks fun shots wise, but the price is still a rough pill to swallow and for me personally the sound effects and music are maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonThePinman Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think the point is that JJP’s standard model has more in it than a Stern LE. And if you line this up against a Munsters LE or a Deadpool LE that is absolutely true. Sent from my iPhone using Aussie Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 How good was it to see Pat Lawlor, nailing the two ramps consectively. Well done JJP - Great theme and a beautiful table design. Can't wait to play it. My only sour taste, is the low scoring points. Make it 1,000,000 points base value FFS. Stern changed it for Iron Maiden!

RGR Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 if you like flow/shots/smooth this game pays for itself. Maidens still the best game made in the last 20 years tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbak Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Overall it didn't live up to the hype for me Art looks lazy & generally poor both playfield and cab Looks like it flows real nice & has unique shots & 4 flippers is good Ruleset looks good & will get better Toys are nothing special although OK Sound & graphics poor to OK Theme is not for me (even though I own a WOZ) Expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGR Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Your Opinion only check Pinside or internet pinball database to see top 20 games in the past 20 years They got Deadpool in the top 5.... Lol not sure that I would take that list too seriously. FYI the playfield is very good. Wonka aint a bad game by any means but it aint the best ever made. I am not judging this game based on the price either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORGAR 1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 JJP Willy Wonka They need to get a artist bugger the photo shopped art :( the sound would drive me crazy also. It’s taking a beating on pinside, I got sucked in by the hype hope it sells for Jacks sake but I’m not sure. All I see is the horrible spinning lollipop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGR Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Maybe these games are taking more of a beating than they should due to the amount of effort that went into the reveals? I think for Wonka lovers this game could not have been much better. Maybe if JJP did the playfield for BKSOR.... well that might have been something.

Glenn70 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Forget the 'HYPE' as pinball hype, or public promotion seems to be more powerful and influential in pinball than the Aussie media is on TV. Only one way to tell..............look at it in person and play the bastard yourself. Then make a decision and opinion. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
