Premium looks fantastic - Pro looks to shoot as good as GZ Pro IMO

Doesn't look like there's a feature matrix up, but pro seems to be missing upper PF, and the shark bash toy and boat are combined?
Kind of surprised that they got Richard Dreyfuss to do custom speech for it. I guess he's the one that's still alive? I figured we'd get a decent Robert Shaw impression at best, but this could be even better. Movie assets in the game too, so not a JP situation.
First impression is that it looks pretty good. Not going to go reserve a premium without flipping it first, but the layout has potential. See what the rules are like. Following up Godzilla is a really tall order, but that game also evolved over multiple code updates. If the game is good, they'll be out there.

Thanks-I'm actually really curious to shoot both the pro and the premium on this one-it actually looks like the pro might be OK? The boat in the "down" position is identical on both, so really all it changes there is that the shark bash toy becomes another shot to the same captive ball bash target. instead of the other shark under the PF. The upper PF is the biggest play change, meaning you lose the extra target/spinner on the upper PF. It also changes the ball returns in that feeding that UR flipper is going to be harder on the premium because it takes an extra shot, and draining off the upper PF is going to put you in more danger-I wonder if the rules are going to factor that in. Of course, first impression of the shark on the pro is bad-given that part of what made the movie great was not showing the shark as much as possible, the effect on the premium is way better.
Looks like the first gameplay videos are out next week, so we'll see what the code looks like then. Anyone already in on one?

I am disappointed in myself. My resolution was to take a break from NIB purchases in 2024 and give my bank account a break. 2023 was a banner year with 9 NIB (including 6 x P3 modules). So yesterday I showed the JAWS trailer to my wife. Result? JAWS Prem is ordered.
She is mega excited about it despite being pissed off that chief Brody isn’t in it. However I reminded her that Sarah isn’t in Labyrinth and most characters aren’t in JP either and the games are still awesome.
So now it’s a toss up between CCrLE or WOZ ECLE getting put up for sale. Whatever we decide it’ll be in the next few weeks.
They bill it in USD. It depends on the exchange rate once P1 gets their order. There’s a rough estimate on the bill but it clearly states it’s an estimate and the real amount depends on the rates at that time.
MSRP is posted on Stern’s site.
PRO - 6799
PREM - 9699
LE - 12999

The LE gameplay premier video is up! Gameplay looks great. You get to play the Shark attack video in 3D.

Being able to cradle the ball on that mini flipper is a neat trick.

Great theme, great looking game. Lots of nitpicks - it's not perfect but after watching the stream last night I am definitely looking forward to playing. I have a neighbor getting one and hopefully Cabin Fever gets a pro in a few weeks also!

I kinda feel the opposite, I was more excited about the game until I saw the play stream. Now I am just MEH. I could take it or leave it

For me theme is a big influencer. I would buy Jaws if it had 1 flipper and only 1 drop target. Every game is fun to play and I think Jaws looks like a winner. Bring it on!
It would’ve been cool to have multiple Shark bash toys so you never knew where it might pop up from. Then have a hurry up mode where you had to get Bruce before he dove back under water
