Played the CE and it's very fun to play. Plays quick, need to get use to those inlane/outlane returns. Its very immersive and already a tone of things to do. The upper playfield is very fun, quick shots in it and don't stay too long in there.

JJP knocked it out of the park. Congrats to all who get or will get to enjoy this at home.

Long time no see guys! I'm in with deposit for HP Wizard. I expect a long wait now, but the anticipation is half the fun (I learned as my only NIB machine was JJP GnR LE - and I still love it!) - plus maybe, just maybe the CDN$ might improve a little in the meantime (sigh). Anyways, shout out to all you who might remember me from the long past now. :p

Sorry but the dollar has been on a long slow decline. Unless something exciting happens like we pump some oil or gas. Keep buying usd. Or euro. Imo.

Congrats.

The anticipation is not fun for me anymore. I was so pumped to get this game but 3 1/2 months later - still no word or ETA. I'm actually tempted to get a Jaws premium instead. I'll give it another month.

I'm a patient guy, I've been at this since 1976. lol Waited ages for my JPP GnR and was among the first to order from Player One at the time - that just added to the thrill when it finally arrived. I only learned about this one by chance via Youtube algorithm, the reviews were atypically aligned, and then a day later coincidentally my GnR spit out an advert for it during attract mode! That was the clintcher.

Beta 7 is out since yesterday. Fixes the PROTEGO drains from the ball dribbling across the outlane then falling down it.

Over 7 months now - still waiting and no word. It's frustrating when people who only waited 3 months are getting their AE.

I have played the game multiple times now. Really hoping soon.

If trump tariffs are ruled illegal, this could relieve some pressure.
Ummm. Not sure if you're just trolling or don't understand how this works. US tariffs are paid by US citizens and companies. This has nothing to do with US EXPORTS. This has nothing to do with how fast JJP produces machines. It doesn't even affect the price paid in Canada. It's just the exchange rate that makes a difference.

The wait is because JJP doesn't produce many Arcade Editions and are taking care of their higher tier buyers first, as would be expected. Still sucks for @kool1

I am aware of that but there are people getting their AE games after only 3-4 months. It doesn't feel great when you see almost everyone that ordered in June has their game already.

That's only because their chosen distro had ordered some without pre-orders.

It's possible but there is no way to know who did and didn't and there is no production information. Eric himself gave very little guidance or info when I spoke with him at Expo but he did say I would definitely not be "waiting longer because I ordered an AE" as they were always rotating the line.

I was under the impression Canada imposed counter tariffs on goods that included pinball. And if us tariffs would be deemed illegal that Canada would remove the counter ones. Frankly it’s just a haze now.

Those pinball specific counter tariffs were revoked in July of last year.
