Quoted from PACMAN:

Thought this was a forum not a nanny state. Jack has clearly stated what he thinks of pinsiders and home collectors. When all those people got screwed by jpop, Jersey Jack said it was their own fault and that they should stop whining about losing $. I didn't get taken by Jpop but I did get bent over by Kevin Koolaid so it stings when I read about Jack blaming the victims instead of the crooks.

I recall Jack explaining himself and / or apologizing for that comment. Of course some of the anti JJP people will bring it up for years on end like they still bring up WOZ shipping delays, lol.

Awesome news about games being in production! I think we will hear about games shipping out to customers very soon.

I have a question for Keith. Are there rule overview screens in the TH similar to those in WOZ and if so may we please see them?

It sure sounds like The Hobbit may have the deepest ruleset ever put in a pin.

Quoted from Goronic:

Had a great talk with Jack yesterday about the switch to Chrome on the rails (from powdercoat) and a few other things. They already have 1800 Hobbits ordered

That's great. Sounds like it will be a good seller for JJP.

Game looks great, nice updates. I'm bummed that the cool LE plaque on WOZ has been reduced to a sticker on the apron...The clear coated wood apron + laser etched numbered plaque on WOZ ECLE's is just awesome and really makes your game feel like it's limited. JJP should have carried the idea over to all of their LE / SE's.

Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:

If anyone want's to assume my Smaug LE order placed through JJP in October of 2014 ($8K), let me know as I am cancelling it shortly.

Great price!

Quoted from txstargazer3:

I think many folks would agree that TH is indeed a beautiful pin. My Smaug with RAD-cals arrived this week and I'm having a great time discovering the shots and what the release code has to offer. Yes, it is fun.
Keith Johnson is a master of code and the initial release of this software is v00.80, obviously a mere taste of what is to come. We haven't even seen v1.0 yet! Remember when the early WOZ machines were called "little more than a box of lights"? JJP and Keith have proven that they can rock the software side of things and I am fully confident they will do it again. Don't give up.

Exactly, TH is only going to get better from here, much better with each code update. Oh how I remember the early WOZ code days. Here's a trip down memory lane, WOZ version .56, the game has changed so much since then. The same will happen with TH.

I wouldn't be surprised if anothet update comes out by the end of the month. The past 3 updates were released about a month a part and its now been just over 1 month since 1.21 was released.

I agree about their needing to be incentive for playing as well as beating all the modes, and / or sets of them. Right now you only need to be 1 mode to unlock a jewel for Into the Fire, another for Barrel Escape (not in game yet) and one more for Battle of the Five Armies (not in game yet). So only 3 of the games 31 modes need to be beaten to unlock something as of today.

Hopefully Keith implements a reward system similar to LOTR for beating modes. It would also be great if beat X number of modes, say 3, 6, 12, 24, led to unlocking a MB / mini wizard mode.
