How so...I didn't take it that way. I think what he is saying is the JJP with WOZ and now TH will attract new people into the Hobby with its more modern take on pinball. I love the older Stern style as well as the JJP approach. Win Win in my book.

My family played lots of woz and hobbit and liked TH more. I can get either but not both and we decided on hobbit. Others feel the opposite, all good.

Edit: only played a couple of hours on each on separate days, so not a ton of time to be sure.

Certainly a good pick too

Same here (but I never owned a WOZ)...but if he likes WOZ better awesome

15-20 minute game times - I wish.

It means both, but it certainly doesn't mean it doesn't break down ever. It means that it was built with quality components. By the way tanks do break down from time to time, and we certainly get your point.

Not sure we need another LED screen ...

Okay fine, allowed

I was listening closely to what you were saying, and then you say this

I don't know...mature movies are fun....

I give the edge to the hobbit also. I have played GB several times and I like it very much. Nice art, cool play field and gameplay. But it is brutal with the drains for sure. Overall it is a solid contribution from stern. That said TH is the better game to me.

Not as much as you might think...

but I with they were farther apart - and the left angled so that the top right flipper would be the best for shooting it.

GB isn't that bad, I enjoy playing it. But hobbit is a better game - honestly the modes, music, sound, and journey is much more satisfying to play

But Smaug isn’t a bash toy...

But I get your point about the bank right infront of Smaug to give it that feel.
