Quoted from Jvspin:

Hmm...it looks like they decided not to powder coat the wireforms.
Pinchroma, do you know if this is the case?

Maybe they're only doing it for the Smaug Gold SE's?

Quoted from meSz:

also looks like there is no heat in the place!

It's winter time. And 15'F outside. In a giant warehouse made of cinder blocks. It's going to be a little chilly, no matter how much heat you pump into a space that large.

Quoted from visi0n:

The photographer in me likes this - the perspective makes the reference playfield look Ginormous. (by the parts bins) Pretty cool how they have the stations laid out. Thanks For the pics Skyemont!

The space is pretty large.

Quoted from DeeGor:

It would be cool to see a Todd Tuckey video tour of the Hobbits getting manufactured.

If JJP has another summertime open house, you might just get your wish

Quoted from WaddleJrJr:

For the sake of route play I think the bulged out button is better. I've seen many people coin up Stern and B/W games and then spend the next minute trying to figure out how to start a game. They mash the flippers, pull the plunger/push the launch button/pull the gun trigger, and yet still struggle to find that start button.
I think the bulged out start button was smart as far as being easier for non-pinheads to notice.

Doesn't it say "start" on the button itself?

Quoted from WaddleJrJr:

Yes. It doesn't make sense why to me, but I'm just explaining what I've seen.

Maybe instead of a single start button, they should start using player buttons like are found on arcade games.
