Quoted from pins4fun:

I sincerely recommend a similar journey to the younger pinheads who euphemistically call themselves "newbs" with JJP's second game under development, The Hobbit LE. I encourage them to make a small deposit, sign-up for the game, join the forum, and enjoy the ride. And no, I am not now or have ever been a JJP employee, just a discerning and astute customer, that's all

I don't get this. If someone is a newb, I wouldn't encourage them to provide an interest free loan to a new company and wait years for a pinball machine. I'd encourage them to get an affordable machine that exists, maybe one that has a few miles on. Get their feet wet fixing it up, learning the ins and outs, and if they enjoy the experience, purchase a Hobbit after playing it to confirm they like it.

I can't think of anything more discouraging to someone who wants to take up a hobby than sitting around waiting while someone else holds your money. Nothing for or against any company, I just think if you want to get into a hobby, get into it.

Quoted from Hobbypinball:

Its called crowdsourcing and its the new way to fund projects when banks aren't exactly as keen as they used to be about lending money. Without it innovation could very well dry up and along with it a lot of very slick products will never find a way to reality out of someone's head. Its a great way of securing funds and also gauging interest in a product by targeting the same group who may be interested in said product to provide the funding. ie the more funding you get, the more demand there is likely going to be for your product.

I know what it is and think it's fine. I just don't think it'd be the place to go for someone new to the hobby. Always going to be an opportunity to buy one down the road.

There are some people who were real early on the order list. They should be receiving their shipping notice any day now. Not sure how many places are open Friday and Monday is April.
