Quoted from BoP:So who do you order a Hobbit pin from in Australia right now??? If Bumper haven't come good with the money for the WOZ machines shouldn't JJP have announced a new deal with a new Australian distributor? Or alternatively if all was good with Bumper you would think that JJP would have an interest in letting the Aussie pinball community know that all is fine, games are on there way and feel free to order a Hobbit.
Maybe I've missed something here but I have to agree "silence is not golden".
I asked the same question of Jack and got this comprehensive response.
"At the moment, us direct"
So I can only assume from the above they are sorting things out with Bumper or more than likely negotiating with another distributor.
In any case, I would have thought JJP should notify potential customers of this fact on their web page or at the very least take Bumper off.
