I switched to SE the moment they announced at expo. On the Hobbit update thread a number or pinsiders are going back to the LE. That is starting to make me wonder. I love the idea of having the bad-a$$ dragon on the playfield but maybe it is too much Smaug (can there be such a thing, I wonder?)
I would love to hear from folks who have seen the latest iterations of Hobbit and give some input. Better yet, it would be wonderful to have someone with recent photos of both pins to help us make a decision. As the end of December quickly approaches, the decision needs to be made fairly soon.
For now, I'm keeping with the Smaug edition but since I've seen the 3rd movie and Smaug's lack of a significant role I am starting to reconsider the LE.
