Quoted from centerflank:Id tell him to go pound sand if he does indeed try to collect. Any distributor asking for any more $ down (unless it was a very recent purchase) would be put on my never buy from again list.
Agree as I can see JJP and Dist telling everyone that their balance is due upon the first machine shipping and then taking months for most to still receive their machine! The balance due shouldn't be collected until your machine is actually ready to be shipped!
Quoted from Skyemont:image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg
WAIT for it!!! You know someone is going to post "those are just the same cabinets but Jack photo-shopped the pictures to make them appear that the SE are being done" WAIT FOR IT!
Quoted from jazc4:Looks like more than test games!
also looks like there is no heat in the place!
Quoted from ecmurrayf1:It also looks like the start button is recessed into the cabinet unlike WOZ.
Looks to be flush not recessed!
Quoted from Skyemont:I was told I would get my Smaug April, 2016. We shall see.
I was told I would get mine Dec 2014
Quoted from chessiv:You need to get a life and not be such a blind fanboy.
Sorry you consider past facts trolling...
Not sure why the thumbs down on this comment as this was what JJP did in the past and more than likely will do again! I am in on TH and expect this to happen! Anyone that doesn't expect it to happen I will wait to read your post/question in the future "how are new buyers getting their machines before me when I paid in full years ago"!
Quoted from Shapeshifter:February next week and still no firm date for shipping. You would think a date would be given if one was known? And palatable......
I'm not trying to be negative as I am in on TH but JJP has yet to meet any dates whether it be with WoZ or TH so what good would it do to have them give a date for shipping?
Quoted from TaTa:She mentioned that the testing has been so positive thus far
No offense but......... would you expect her to say anything differently?
Quoted from Goronic:She seems to say that testing is going so well they expect to start shipping as early as next week.
I hope you're right but I wouldn't plan a "launch party" until the machine is in your possession!
Quoted from TaTa:Later when I called about the extra head, she mentioned that it's too late to add anything to it.
Were you going to switch heads, put the LE head onto the SE (or vice versa)? And apologies if you advised of this but what was your order date?
Quoted from CaptainNavidad:is why Jen has been vague concerning the details.
Agree, to Jen the distributor is their customer and they would know approximately when the distributor should receive their games but what JJP doesn't know is where anyone sits on the Distributor's list. Also, your Dist. (tired of spelling it out) may have place more then one order so, hypothetically, the Dist. could've placed an order of 10 machines on day one and sold them out and places another order two weeks (months or whatever) later so they could have multiple shipping dates. Again, JJP would have no idea where you lie on the Dist. list!
bemmett when did you order?
Quoted from FalconPunch:I did notice that once the ball went up the left fishtails ramp, around to the right and popped off the wireform
I counted 3 times it "popped off the wireform" and that was within the first 2 minutes of the video!
Quoted from iamabearsfan:Why is everyone so hung up on this third flipper that has limited functionality?
Interesting that the rule sheet states "Shoot DWARF target with upper flipper" so maybe we're starting to see specifics to the upper flipper!
This just popped up on CL:

Apparently the seller is not waiting for Christmas!!!
Quoted from Sammy31:Talked to my Canadian distributor last week...He said he was told that a shipment of Hobbits was supposed to be inbound this week or next...
The wait has to be killing you Canadians .....especially with no Canadian teams in the playoffs!!!
