What I need as a buyer so close before the release is everything on the table. I want to know what I will get. I think, that's why so many are angry. The game was hyped, it was 6 a clock in the morning here and I stayed up for the big reveal that should answer the most questions I had and now after the expo I have even more questions.
I am still in..... I still believe in JJP. I like what I see so far, if it's not the finished product. But I hoped this company will handle things not the same way STERN does. And sry but what I am reading now is STERN2. I feel that there is no understanding for me as a customer.

It's creatively doing business. You have a big order but no more product slots so you introduce a new product version and offer free transfer for the old buyers to the new version, they jump on the new version and you get enough free slots for the new buyers to get the old version.

"creatively" was meant as irony.

But I don't want to criticize the new versions of hobbit. If it helps JJP he can built even more versions. And it's great to have a choice. What i don't like is that I have to choose before I know what I will get. Their has to be everything on the table so I get the version I think I like the most.

Where are the pictures of the golden Smaug?

Great post Aurich!!! The big question is, has JJP the time for changes or are we locked with this version of the game?

After Jack's replay there is no way I would go out of my Hobbit order. They have proofed of what they are capable of. WOZ is not everybodys cup of tea but it's a great game. I was disturbed of the defensively quietness after and at the expo critic. That changed after the responses here and in the google group.
But now the only big question that concerns me deeply is if I should go SE or stay with my LE order???
