Received my Hobbit on Friday (order date of 12/5/12) and was playing away yesterday when I noticed the Warg flasher was no longer working. Lifted up the playfield and found this. The edge of the metal bracket moving up and down pinched/cut both wires on the led board connector. Easy fix with a little solder and shrink tubing, but one thing to take a look at.

Quoted from meSz:

Also, after few days I found my first screw lying in the back right corner of the cabinet. The screw is small (approx 2cm). Any idea where it came from?

Did you figure out where the screw dropped out of? I too found a small screw this afternoon - lying on top of the service outlet panel. Only mech above it is the trough, and I'm not seeing anything missing (and I don't really want to tear it off).

Quoted from metahugh:

My game is definitely an early build. It was built on 3/10/16.

I haven't ordered the update kit yet so I will ask about the mylar as well.

Definitely ask about a mylar 'kit'. I got my Hobbit a couple weeks ago and it has the mylar around all the popups.
