Is there only one Multiball in the game? I know this can't be!

#468 8 years ago
Quoted from Goronic:

GOT LE is $8,795

Hobbit LE is $8,500

I am a big Stern fan, but not blind. Game play is what really counts. But from a look and sound perspective it isn't close.

GOTLE is more like $7500-7800.

Quoted from dannunz:

No 5 different mb modes

Cool. Do you know what they are? I know the main Smaug mb.

Do weekends and holidays count as days?

#823 8 years ago
Quoted from Skyemont:

I just don't understand. I guess my questions are:
1. Who said production was November, 2015?
2. Who said it was not going to happen November, 2015?
Just trying to decide on what I'm going to do. These delays are so STUPID!!! Updates would be nice. Can't we get the truth for once!!

JJP update Sept 9 2015: "We are on track to begin Hobbit Production this Fall"

When does winter officially start?

#883 8 years ago
Quoted from bonanza:

Watching the videos it seems to me that the hobbit is a little stark compared to WOZ with regard to the play field. Thoughts?

Appears that way but Hobbit has four pop ups and drop targets that programmer has full control of. Also has a lot more modes, so it sounds. I have a feeling Hobbit might be deeper than WOZ which I didn't think would be possible.
I believe there is a subway below as well.

Quoted from centerflank:

But that new Avenger code should be here any day now

New Avengers code is up:

Code: Thor flasher now works.

#1074 8 years ago
Quoted from centerflank:

I wager I can jerk off more than JJp can produce a TH to ship per day once production starts flowing. Any takers?
$200 per wager. Trophy is willing to lend me a helping hand. Who is in?

I'm not taking that bet.

Quoted from benheck:

Found it! (thanks search bar)
Make of it what you will.

Congrats if Jason gets the first Hobbit. Damn nice guy.

#1239 8 years ago

I hope they do a special splash screen on the LE like the SE. Would be cool to have the hobbit party or something like that.

Looks like they are getting the line ready to make some Hobbits.

#1296 8 years ago
Quoted from VolunteerPin:

Is that the all new "Hobbit of Oz" cabinet pictured?

See the playfield above the blue bins on the assembly line. Those are Hobbit playfields.
That means they are getting ready to build Hobbit machines.

#1298 8 years ago
Quoted from Concretehardt:

I think they have been "getting ready to build Hobbit machines" for a while the pics below were taken before Expo...

Yeah but there was no Hobbit playfield's on the line at that time. The picture was posted on Friday on FB.

Kaneda when did you buy your Hobbit?

#1701 8 years ago
Quoted from kaneda:

2 years from now.

When you get rid of LOTR. Yeah right!

#1702 8 years ago
Quoted from kaneda:

2 years from now.

When you get rid of LOTR. Yeah right!

#1707 8 years ago
Quoted from kaneda:

Only one Pin could dethrone my LOTR and that's Star Wars.

I got an Epi One I could trade you.

Quoted from SilverBallz:

What an a-hole comment.

Why? Because he stated an obvious fact.

#1781 8 years ago
Quoted from rotordave:

I was going to suggest removing the flipper bat.

Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to use the upper flipper.

#1836 8 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

so you only have to put down a deposit now?

If you go to pinball sales and click on the Hobbit LE it says $2500 deposit and balance is due when game is complete.

I don't know What they are considering as complete or do they mean ready to ship.

#1838 8 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

thanks Tom. More than I am willing to put down for deposit to hold a spot, esp since with WOZ I remember people just buying on Day 1 of actual production and getting their games before those with deposits fro the past while.

If it happens again with Hobbit and you want a standard, I would wait until the first games get released and start calling distributors to see if they have one in stock. My guess is you won't find NIB under $8k since the preorder price was $7500.
IMHO I would wait as I made that mistake last time and sold my WOZLE spot and got a standard.

I am waiting very patiently this time for my Hobbit LE.
