At least the final playfield art will be MUCH better than the current one, I could see it and it's a major improvement. Which is a good thing, the current one was below average. Meanwhile, 75th for me, unpacked with Jack yesterday and signed out of the box, priceless. Jack is really nice and it's a pleasure to talk with him because you can feel his motivation is really pinball passion before anything else.

Quoted from luckymoey:

Please elaborate on the changes you saw. You can't post something that significant without some more info. Thanks.

Well I'm not sure I can say much more, I wouldn't want to upset Jack, I just mentioned it because someone else (Christophe, the French importer) told it before me tonight on the French pin forum so it's not anymore a "secret" otherwise I would have shut up If Jack showed it to us on his iphone, it's probably close to release and it will appear soon I think. Anyway, the pinball itself is close to release. I'll just say there's a big Smaug pictured in the middle like if he was in front of you, with fine art and vivid colors this time. Brilliant, a big step forward from the initial playfield. Which seems to indicate that they do listen to what people say here and probably in the shows too....

Quoted from PinballRulez:

So you are saying you have seen a picture of an updated playfield and it looked much better than the one shown on the Expo?

Yes, and yes.... but just the bare playfield, new art.

PinPatch, I <think> this new playfield will be for all the editions.

Pinballrulez, I don't have the picture, really. Just saw it on Jack's iPhone.

Quoted from Kcpinballfan:

Would you say the smaug you saw looks more like the movie smaug or a more finished version of the already revealed smaug?

Hi, read again, it's NOT the toy, we didn't talk about it. We only saw new playfield art, which is already good news. And yes, I think he really cares about the customers and feedbacks. When I told him that we were all a bit disappointed with what we saw (of course they read what happens here and he perfectly knew it), he could have said something like "yeah, forums are full of people always complaining". But nothing like this, he told me "Yes I'm aware of this and we're working to improve things". The new playfield art is a perfect example of this.

Quoted from Pimp77:

WTF? New playfield art? And here I was liking the last one...hopefully it's better and not worse! Cabinet definitely got better, although I wish it had different art on each side.

Everyone has different taste, but really, I don't see how anyone couldn't find it better than the current version Wait & see, soon I think.
