Reading all these posts make it seem like you guys are a very impatient lot. It is not like you weren't aware of the history here. I just took a THSE position so I have a stake in the game too. The games will ship when they can. It's not like they are delaying on purpose. If you are so impatient that you can't wait, you probably should only buy machines that are in front of you and for sale. Play the pins you have, go play a neighbors pin, go buy another pin, go to an expo, etc.
I went to JJP's open house and I was impressed with the games (played both WOZ and TH) and the facilities. Good things will come to those who wait. Breath. It will be OK.
Now all those who are getting one, you need to go find a Hobbit movie poster to frame up to go with the pin.
