I have an order in on a Hobbit but would ideally like to take a look at one first before handing over a pile of cash in a few weeks.

There are none here yet but I am going to be in Fullerton and Corona the first couple week of July and was wondering if there are any on location I can look at? I can't find anything on the map but realise they may not always be up to date.

Cheers

I don't know if Ron has a Hobbit yet, but your best chance to find a Hobbit to play in the LA area is to check with Ron Burkard. His pinball land collection is very nice, and he often gets the newest games. I played WoZ there when I couldn't find any on location in the beginning. Great guy.

Their hours are irregular, but email and see if they have a Hobbit to play - [email protected]

It's been about a month since PL has been open, but he didn't have a Hobbit yet at that time.

I didn't find one on location but someone has kindly offered to let me visit and check one out.

Thanks all!

I got one in my home in North Tustin/Santa Ana if your other invite doesn't work out

This kind of thing is what I love about the pinball community.

Thanks for the offer I appreciate it! Can't wait to see one in person!

I'm in the next city over from Corona, so if your other offer(s) to see/play Hobbit don't work out, please PM me and I'd be glad to let you come play it....as long as RotorDave vouches for you as a fellow NZ'er.

San Jose California here. If you end up north you're welcome here as well.

I'd invite you to my home but you could be a murderer, so I'll pass

Thanks for the offer but we are going to be north or south of you.

Thanks to everyone for all the offers! I really have met some great people in this hobby. Just wish some of them wouldn't leave there initials on my games and make them so hard to get rid of!

Kiwi pincade is early March next year so come on out and you will be well looked after. I'm working on the Wellington part of it and we are going to try and raise the bar since this is the tenth one.

Damn! You figured out my plan to repatriate hobbits back to New Zealand where they belong!

Hmmmm touch and go ....

CLG is actually an American who graces us with his presence. So he's ok.

Except for his strange obsession with JJP products.

The obsession really got bad after I put woz in Moon!

You know it is only a matter of time before you get some jjp machines in your collection. I know a source for well looked after routed ones

You guys just need to scare up another Amazing Race down there. The Australia vs NZ one was one of the best ever done - better than almost all the US ones.

Haven't seen that one. You know the host of the American show Phil is a NZ guy.. Represent!

Tha Aussie/NZ one was hosted by a NZ guy named Grant Bowler that I actually ended up liking better than Phil. There were three "down under" Amazing race installments and all of them were better than 90% of the US ones. Only one "vs" one down there, though.
