Quoted from Aurich:No, there was a thread with a leak of JJP's official pic, that was deleted. I didn't bother saving the photo out of it, everyone will see it tonight.
It will become clear why Jack wasn't too happy with my mockups soon enough.
I think everyone expected a Smaug version at one time or another. I wonder if they were surprised Aurich jumped on it so quickly with a mock up after the 'finalized' cab was shown... 
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:I really didn't. If I was still on the JJP Google forum I would go find the post from Jack where he swore there would be no other special edition of Hobbit beyond the limited edition.
No disrespect intended here but when Gary and Jack say never you can't put 100% certainty on that. I don't - and for that matter that applies to most people. "Never say Never".
Quoted from PanzerFreak:They must be going after the people that just have an obession with gold
I guess that way the Gold pin owner would be their own 'King under the mountain" 
Quoted from dtowndobe:I hope I can stay awake past 10:30 EST!
How could you sleep 
Quoted from chessiv:What are the odds that Pat's game gets announced and deposits are requested?
Likely I would think - this is the right place and time for that kind of information.
Quoted from Chambahz:If that Smaug pic is legit, this looks amazing.
Having said that, someone REALLY needs to take Jack aside and explain how the whole Pro/Premium/LE option works.
This guy's just making up the rules as he goes along!
"I'm sorry. Your LE isn't THE LE, it's just AN LE. There are many others, just like it, only more expensive and likely easier to resell. Confused?"
All due respect, but I don't think LE means that you can't have other LE models. THLE is one LE version, Smaug is another LE. Doesn't Stern do this also? AC/DC - back in black / let there be rock. Transforms had an autobots and decepticons LE versions if I recall.
Quoted from Pinchroma:But just wait and see tonight
Hope I get to 'see' - I am hoping another pinsider at the expo streams it for us. Any other way to possibly see this information live?
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Whatever tonight brings....it will decide what my first NIB is. Star Trek Premium or Hobbit.
A lot of you will say "Duh! Hobbit!" and that's fine....as long as it knocks my socks off.
I hear you...If I was a hard core Star Trek fan I would have a hard time not getting the Stern Star Trek.
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:I also feel the need to wait another 2-3 years before I feel more comfortable that they won't announce
Your call...
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:And yes, why was the option to "move sideways" to the 75th Ruby Red edition never given to ECLE WOZ
He said he learned from his mistakes and wants to make good with the hobbit. It's cool. And it is okay that they improved the lighting system - WOZ was their first pin and they had to learn from it. It is likely they will carry on improvements to the 3rd game as well from things done 'wrong' in the hobbit.
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:You really don't have any hesitation about drinking their Kook-aid?
I am disappointed about a few things.
1) the lack of Smaug integration with the playfield. JJP seems to hate that as well. The angle of Smuag is a bit funny from the players perspective. Overall sculpt is pretty good - I feel he should have teeth though.
2) The Bag End book isn't doing it for me at all.
Overall I think the pin is worth keeping my order. Some may bail, some may come aboard. What I am most interested in:
1) The LCD movie assets (those look cool so far)
2) The music and call outs
3) The amazing game play modes
