Seriously?

Quoted from LTG:

Listen to Jack's seminar at Pintastic next Friday July 10th at 7pm EST.
Jared is doing the recording and live stream.
LTG : )

Quoted from eggbert52:

Which thread will have the picture of the games coming off the line first. The old Hobbit thread or the new one? Place your best folks

Quoted from eggbert52:

Hmmm. How come those games haven't shipped then?

Quoted from bemmett:

Is there a link to where this can be watched?

Quoted from TaTa:

"Kool-Aid" WOW, now that's a zinger...You really put him in him in his place. Seems like you drank the Bitter-Aid.
Maybe if you were in the loop with suppliers of TH or in contact with JJP, you'd know already that the other prototypes are indisposed at the moment. They're spread out all over the country for final testing and coding(90-99% complete when shipped). This is far from a red flag in production start-up, but a sign that end is near! You have ZERO creditability to even surmise such a theory and are only trying to stoke the fire. But I guess your right...JJP is going out of business and all those parts flowing in are all photo shopped to keep us sending him more $ for his private island.

We're all thinking the same about YOU

Quoted from CaptainNavidad:

You're a whining and puling maggot. That's what.

Quoted from TaTa:

It said that it needed a break from being played non stop!

Quoted from TaTa:

I'm not "into" Gene like that

Quoted from lowepg:

No question, the game is certainly the most striking visually and audio-ly . Audibly....aurially... Whatever.
My bigger concern is overall speed of play.... So I can't wait to play one on location.... Hopefully the guys at a Flippers have an early order in!

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

you just described all pinball: ramp, ramp, orbit, bash, orbit...
Whatever man! Take some geritol and go yell at some kids or something.

Quoted from Damonator:

I heard Nov as well directly from Jack.
At least we are talking "days" now instead of weeks/months/years!!

Quoted from Skyemont:

I was told from Jen about 1 week ago they should be able to produce 15 to 20 per day. If they could run two production lines that would kick ass.

Quoted from Goronic:

You guys are probably right in that it will be a bear to assemble. I guess as long as are getting them out the door by year end I will feel better.

Quoted from Skyemont:

How long was it from the very first day WOZ was announced to the first person receiving their pin? The Hobbit has to be close to this! Does anyone know?

Quoted from guyincognito:

WOZ was released 74 years after the movie and it sold OK, so Jack still has some time.

Quoted from BillySastard:

So what happens when you get to 0? Are you going to start a countdown for December? Then one for January? February?

Quoted from cscmtp:

One a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being best pin you've ever played, 1 being awful, how would you rate the pin? I think everyone agrees it looks beautiful, amazing sound and video, but how is the game play?

Quoted from TomGWI:

Quoted from Damonator:

A 3 year wait for JPop/SkitB...and then get nothing in the end is sad. Waiting 3 years for a pin that will immediately be a top 20 pin (and the best ever made in the audio/visual category) is not sad at all.

Quoted from CaptainNavidad:

What would you say is more intense - your disdain for JJP or homoerotic obsession with the bloat captain, Kirk?

Quoted from CaptainNavidad:

Weird Al is funny? Um, ok. That actually explains quite a bit.
On to real Hobbit news. Whenever production does begin, what is the sense of how many games JJP will be manufacturing per week? 50ish?

Quoted from Goronic:

Sounds about right to me. I think it will take well into late summer just to get the preorders already in the books out the door.

Quoted from Hitch9:

So, WOZ started rolling off the line around May 1st 2014.
That is about 454 working days including stat holidays till end of Nov 2015.
2600 games means they averaged about 5.73 games per day. If you factor in stat days, that probably brings it up to 6 per day.
They had some supply problems early on. That means that number could come up some.
Assuming 1500 Hobbits were sold total so far, that is a full year of production with 261 working days.

Quoted from lowepg:

Bring on Lawlor!

Quoted from Hitch9:

Not so easy to store 1500 cabinets, or even a couple of hundred. If anything, that is one piece of the kit that has to be "just on time" or you would have to have a huge warehouse to store them.

Quoted from vid1900:

remember it's "for the good of pinball"

Quoted from mountaingamer:

Happy Thanksgiving Fellas!

Quoted from robotron:

i own my woz and no issues thus far. my sterns suck, Walking Dead was broken for 5 months. all stern kept doing was jerking me around and sending me boards. lucky my friend managed to repair the pin for me. my kiss le out the box with 7 issues and now its broken again. only the display comes on nothing else. guess my next pin gonna be? not a pos stern! i have a heighway alien le on order and will get a smaug le if it lives up to the hype. i have faith this pin is gonna be great and not a pos stern slapped together and shipped untested.
after those 2 new pins i am gonna add some classics, and hopefully stick to jjp and heighway if the quality is there. like i said no more new sterns for me right now, status quo is unacceptable.

Quoted from vicjw66:

I love the look and solidness of WOZ. That's why I bought one. I don't know why we can't criticize certain aspects of games or pinball companies without getting attacked. I have had issues with every pinball machine I have ever owned. Hobbit looks great. Can't wait to play it, and hopefully it's not incredibly boring like WOZ is.

Quoted from lowepg:

Because.... SURELY, suggesting TH will slip into next month is ludicrous, trollish and downright un-pinball. Clearly those fools creating the thread were unaware of the "contractual obligations"

Hobbit Beast Mechs! Gwaaah!

4 down, 4000 to go.

Quoted from extraballingtmc:

Made in America...by Mexicans.

Quoted from spfxted:

Americans have never lost and will never lose a war.

Quoting someone from WW2 kind of out of date

Quoted from beelzeboob:

What're you asking me for? Somebody started on Canada. I actually defended that fine country. Then EK77 posted some pictures that look like eastern portions of NJ. I don't know what's going on. I still say this is a great way to close out the year on this thread, though!

Quoted from wcbrandes:

Again you better do your homework on who is polluting the world and actually how much pollution comes out of the tar sands. Go pick on China, India and yourselves. Get the real facts. Also pretty sure if you had the third biggest crude oil reserves in the world you Americans wouldn't take advantage of it would you!
