Is that an actual production game? or the initial beta test batch?

My suspicion is this is still just pics of the same batch of 5-6 games collected together (as cabinets then) and still going thru painfully slow pre-production trial run (beta testing of production/units)..
It's now weekend January 9th... and at this pace no meaningful dent in production until at least Spring... almost 3 1/2 years after asking for money (which I gave Nov 2012... took out last May... and put a much smaller deposit down again in early December (and would still be able to get a game 1st up).. and now thinking of getting rid of that deposit... and just hoping theres a REAL production unit to play at TPF.. we'll see...
I have no doubt that 1800 were ordered, but many of those are unspoken for... just big lot purchases from distributors.. will they actually be able to get rid of them at this point.. seriously... since the game has taken so long to get out...rest of year to get those produced at least!
Sorry, to say this but it's amazing how long this thread... and game to get out has gone... I felt stupid for asking for my money back almost one year ago (I was an original Nov 2012 depsositor) ... got back in on a distributor last November being told any day now... I just don't see how JJP stays afloat after "2 investors".. got my deposit back (again)..at this point it's obvious THLE/Smaug at best, like WOZLE, will be only an OK/slightly good game and not really out for at best several months... and so back to how does JJP survive..
Quoted from Goronic:That is what I thought when I finally saw it in person. Pictures and video don't do it justice. The only pin that is as beautiful to me is WOZ -and even it doesn't quite look as good due to the Hobbits HD monitor and video as well as a very vibrant PF. WOZ has it on ligthts, but the flashers on TH kind of balance it out.
Completely agree even nicer in person in final form and with more updated code.
Glad I changed my mind again and got back in... game just arrived here locally this AM... and will take delivery tomorrow..
