TBL is going to be a hit. That game is a nice, rock solid build from top to bottom. I wish I had the patience to wait in line and play, but I'm not that big of a fan of the movie and I would have just been wasting other people's time.

After seeing a real, live BoP 2.0, I am now kicking myself for selling mine years ago. I can't wait to see what else Dutch Pinball has in store. Once I get a few projects done, I might be in the market for a BoP (unless a cheap project one pops up at a good price ... I'll buy that at any time on a moment's notice).

Hobbit was down when I was there. I saw it @ Ohio though ... I am not one that should comment as I am one of the 7 or 8 people on Earth that cannot stand anything that deals with the Lord of the Rings and could never give a fair assessment of a product dealing with that franchise .

I played AMH a while ago ... not my cup of tea theme-wise, but it's a well built, well executed game if that theme is something that you'd find intriguing.

The game that impressed me the most was Pinball Circus. It was shockingly fun even in whitewood form! I saw pics of it and never thought it would do much for me, but I couldn't stop playing it . The guy doing the new build was great to chat with and the game seems to be progressing well. You can tell they were nothing but sincere when they stated that they were producing this for Python. Not once was my bullshit detector tripped !

I cannot wait to see a completed one. Given the short playtime/difficulty and awesome art/theme/effects, I'd really consider making it a pinball based redemption game if I were them (i.e. they need to figure out some rewards as you "progress" through the circus). I know this was tried in the past with other themes, but this one is special ... I could see Dave and Busters buying several of these if it's done right. It's a game where three balls can go by rather quickly and could draw a lot of traffic/hour ... you *really* want to see what will happen next even if there's not much to see right now in the prototype phase of the game . If I were playing a completed one at D&B, I know I would have burned through $20 easily playing it. The downside to owning one for home use would be the lack of depth, but who knows what Python had in store for that game. Fortunately, we'll be able to see soon as development is progressing well .
