Selling Smaug, WTB LOTR! Baby on the way! Love it!

Perhaps the baby will like LOTR more. Lol! Hobbit is a fantastic game. Amazing new code. Best bang for your buck and the Smaug edition is the best of them all. Great game fantastic price. Congrats on the Baby.

I just got a SE about a week ago. I wanted a Black Arrow, but couldn’t find one nearby. ASOA , Just curious why you think the Smaug is the best of them?

The powder coating on the Smaug in my opinion is the best. I do not like it on the powder coat on the regular LE. It looks like a hammered copper finish. The black arrow is very underwhelming in my opinion. Black powder coated trim does not show off well and the black flippers are not great to play with. They are very dark making it more difficult to play. The Smaug was a true limited edition. Smaller production numbers. Great dragon cabinet art. Unique powder coat that works very well with the game. And the gold dragon package makes the game pop unlike the standard LE red dragon. I know black Arrow has a gold dragon but the art package lack of trim color and the black flippers ruin it for me. Gold Smaug all the way. The Gold Smaug was also the most expensive of all the models as well. Again just my opinion.

You played one single THIRTEEN ball game?

LOL, actually, that was one of the pics I took the first night I played it after bringing it home. The game was too level, and so the balls were floaty and very easy to keep alive. Plus, the settings were set to moderate or easy. So I earned like 10 extra balls and played 43 minutes on my first game. But after that, I immediately cranked up the back legs to make it much faster, and I removed several extra ball awards in the settings. But still, my games on Hobbit tend to be very long, like 30 minutes a game. But, I do believe that's how that pin was designed to be played - SUPER deep code, with a long adventure like an epic movie. So, it's just a matter of taste. I REALLY like the Hobbit. But it's hard for me to decide what to give up when I want to add something different. Because of its value and rising popularity, it was an obvious choice when deciding what I could sell fast that would bring back decent money. After I listed it, someone received an alert from their wishlist and they bought it within an hour. It really is brand new, with like 30 plays on it. So I think it's a fair price and it will allow me to get another LOTR (which is one of my all-time favs) and a mint POTC (Stern), which is an easy one for friends and family to enjoy.
