Jaws! By Stern… We’re going to need a bigger games room !

Col's video showcasing amongst other things, his fab apron -
The thumbnail is superb 😂

I just posted it up over on Pinside, as that apron needs to be seen, it’s a lovely piece of work as you’d expect from Col.
 
Supposedly legit pricing from a distributor stateside.

They are taking the absolute p*** with the price of toppers. I paid less for my first TAF than they want for a piece of plastic with some LEDs. The toppers probably cost less than $50 in parts

Guess we’ll see what it looks like… it’s half the price of the Foo one, which either means they’ve wrapped a string of LEDs around a plastic shark toy, or perhaps they might be starting to see the light on pricing
 
Topper better eat the ball
for a grand you will get flat plastics and like it!

No way we get much for a grand from Stern, although if they do flat plastics of the ORCA and Bruce with a little movement to recreate the Quint is tasty scene I could be tempted by that.
 
Laziest topper ever, looks **** with the colour changing LEDs behind it.
 
For anyone in London who fancies a game of Jaws, we’ve just got a pro in at Four Quarters Elephant. It takes JP’s place next to GZ. (JP is now in Peckham next to Spiderman)

We put a load of games on it today, and I must say, the game is so much better than I’d thought from a brief play at expo and a couple of plays of the Prem at Funland.

The light show really comes to life in a low light area like Four Quarters - night swim mode 😍 and the pro shoots really fast and smooth, even if the playfield feels a little sparse. Ball routes and flow are sweet and there’s loads of modes that seem to stack.

Very happy with Jaws - looking forward to see how it compares to others, as an operator.

Thanks to @philpalmer for sorting the machine.

To add to this I’ve got a jaws premium if anyone local to me wants to try it ! Great game imo
 
Played the Pro at LeVel in Preston this morning. At first sight I thought it looked a bit empty but after playing a few games those thoughts quickly went away.

I wouldn't say no to owning one, had some interesting shots and felt nice to shoot for the most part, although it was a bit stop/start with the up posts in the in lanes.

There were a few big air balls and I couldn't get logged into Insider Connected so not sure if it's hooked up to the Wi-fi yet @philpalmer

I did manage to get my name on the scoreboard which I don't expect to last too long.

Not a bad score pal

Thanks, don't ask me how I got it though. I'm sure I'll like it even more once I understand the rules a bit better.

When I first watched the early streams the sound clips felt quite repetitive, but didn't feel like that when playing it so maybe code updates helped with that.

Shooting the fin was great, like the Cactus Canyon and Ghostbuster's pop-ups but better as it's a moving target.

I felt I got my money's worth with Jaws and Bond as they are both quite forgiving compared to some other Pins.

Really enjoyed this making of Jaws Pinball Video. Getting sucked back into looking more into this machine again.

Looking forward to hearing more in the future about playing as the Shark in this special mode " kinda this 8bit world" Not sure what this will be but seen some pixel art in the video 😀

I played the Pro again today, beat my previous high score with 374 million but some joker called "Bob" (if that is his real name) had hogged all the overall high scores! I managed to get my name on a couple of the challenges though.

I think I'd want to go Premium on this, just to get the full game experience. Might try and trade my Lebowski down the line.
