Does anyone have any new gameplay videos they can share?
Looking forward to hearing the call outs and maybe some modes
Does The Hobbit have an audio jack at the front like WoZ?

Quoted from solarvalue:Would love to see some more Hobbit video from Expo.
Yes please!
So many of you guys there and only 1 x 1.5 minute video on YT!
Need my fix.
Quoted from dannunz:No 5 different mb modes
Do you know what they are?
Are they coded in yet?
Everytime I see the gameplay footage its the same MB

Quoted from PanzerFreak:Has that ever been done for a pinball machine before?
Well the only pinball that could have it would be WoZ or one of the sterns running Spike. So pretty sure nothing comes close in terms of audio content. David gave a really nice talk about it at the expo -

Quoted from Goronic:https://www.facebook.com/JerseyJackPinball/posts/1078742338811028
If you don't have access to FB I "may" upload photos from FB later.
Thanks. I saw that and then posted here. I am hungry for more video!
Looks like Jack is pretty confident it will start this month
On the JJP newsgroup he just posted
"We will post some pictures soon." in reply to what the production line looks like
and
"Yes it is." to "is production still starting this month".
Quoted from vicjw66:but there was no saving Balcers WOZ layout. Keith didn't have much to work with there.
It's all a matter of personal opinion so there isn't much point in arguing I guess. However there are heaps of interest shots on WOZ. Behind the flipper. The entire left upper Pf. Left orbit through the Pops. Left and right VUK... All challenging. I mean I would understand if you said you didn't like rainbow lights or something. But if WoZ can be boring then anything can be.

Quoted from dannunz:Take the 4 pop ups out....make the drops stationary targets only....put a Dmd in. Bam $5k
A dmd in a JJP machine? Yuk.
FORWARDS! Not backwards
Quoted from PanzerFreak:You mean you have to stare at dots? That's like a babies toy. Yes I based that off of a line from Back to the Future 2, lol.
I think JJP should at least consider doing a cheaper standard body game with slightly less features along side separate higher end games.
That will probably come later.
Right now I don't think Jack wants someone walking up to a JJP machine and them feeling like its cheap.
Quoted from LTG:There will be lots more once things are rolling. It takes a bit to bring an assembly line up to speed.
LTG : )
Are thing going to start moving quicker before or after xmas LTG?
Thanks
Quoted from rotordave:Anyway, I read the email. Who says spam doesn't work ..

So....when can I come over and play the Hobbit?
Quoted from rotordave:Hobbit looks ok. Haven't played it though, they folded it up at expo before I got a go.
If it plays anything like WOZ though, I won't be buying one.
Flame away.

No need to flame. It is not a pin for everyone!
Quoted from bane:By the way, the entire sequence of Smaug in the mountain with the molten gold was laughable and conjured out of thin air. Hence, the Smaug in the pinball game with the molten gold (?SE) is a joke.
Exactly. For this reason when I get the pin I will spray paint smaug the right colour. I simply cannot enjoy the pin if the talking toy on my pin isn't the same colour as the source material in an 78 year old book.
Quoted from xbloodgreenx:I put in a order for an LE today. Jen wrote me almost right away to let me know I would be looking at a May/June ship date.
5 months to start production and churn out hundreds of Hobbit?
Quoted from Krorghar:Blue siderails? or maybe it's some kind of protector film?
BTW I know is a hard work, but I`ll sacrifice myself and will test it 24/7 for free .. just send me the testing unit.
Protective tape as metal scratches
Quoted from rotordave:I was going to suggest removing the flipper bat.

You could almost say the same thing about woz..
Why is the right flipper there? To hit the witch? The witch can be hit from the 2 lower flippers. The only shot you can hit from that flipper exclusively is the haunted forest shot...which is one of 4 skill shots..hardly a show stopper.
The upper flipper on TH would make it easier to hit those drops and the angle would help hit multiple drops instead of 1. Just like the flipper on woz helps hit the witch easier
Yep. Exactly. But that's software controlled. There is a timer.
If Keith wanted he could let the ball drop to thr lower right flipper and you have 10 seconds to get the switch. It's all software controlled
The software isn't even complete with TH and there are 30+ modes. Pretty sure one of the modes will have a required shot from right upper flipper.
"shoot the left orbit and then hit a drop from the Upper right flipper to finish the mode"
Well I am hoping anyway
I think that's more interesting then the same ST/SM ramp. It might not feel as satisfying but if you want like nice and easy loops then buy NF. Or if you want a crazy array of shots from upper flippers buy JD! Both are fun to play but there is a reason that these pins are not as highly regarded as LOTR/TSPP/WoZ... And that's because NF/JD software is pretty boring in comparison.
At the end of the day a pinball without good software is just a box of flashing lights and solenoids. Software is why makes pinball the 'experience' and that's what I have faith I will be getting out of TH when it arrives.
