So I might be taking the plunge today or in the next few. I cannot seem to find enough info on the difference between standard/LE/SE editions. Is it completely cosmetic? Also from those who have it or have played alot, how are the rules/depth? I have only put a few games on it at shows, never enough to dive in. Thanks.

Quoted from Damonator:

Lol - too many threads - in my defense, I blame his avatar.

Quoted from brucipher:

This is a Hobbit thread, not a GB thread.
The differences are pretty much all cosmetic. Here is a link to the flyer with the differences:

Haha no problem. Maybe my avatar threw him off. I've already got a GB premium ordered and hobbit SE was ordered today. So thanks for the matrix. I figured out differences. Any answers on code depth? Thanks again.

So I have a couple questions, The VUK under Smaug doesn't make the leap sometimes. I got in the menu and noticed it was turned down a little from basic settings, but I turned it to default and it still doesn't make it usually once or so before it works. Is this a power setting issue where I should just turn it up? or could there be anything else? Also I noticed on the "modes" where you fire the spear from the ring button the kickout always fires really weak. When it is a normal kickout or anything else it is fine. I also tried adjusting the power on this coil and noticed a difference on normal kickouts but it is still always soft on the spear mode to the point where it barely makes it over the first sling and onto one of the flippers. My assumption is that the higher on the spear you hit the ring button the hard it will fire. Is this correct and I need to adjust something or could I be playing the mode wrong?

Quoted from Jvspin:

I needed to turn mine a little past the default to get a consistent feed.

I think you are playing it correctly. However, you are supposed to be able to hit the MAN targets. If the kickout can't reach those targets when the indicator is at the top of the spear, something may need to be adjusted.

Looks like with two more power the VUK makes it now. but I had to turn the kickback all the way up to make it just above the M target on man.

I have something else I guess, looks like my spider and orc popups are showing malfunction in the test menu. Not sure why. They both seem to work in test, but I do notice in game the ORC seems to pop up and look like it registers its own hit maybe and goes back down. The spider doesn't do this but it still shows malfunction for some reason.

Man. This code is great. Game is so exciting now. I'm actually taking down my for sale thread. I just got into the fire mode. Didn't really know everything that was going on but what I did notice was great. This code is a huge upgrade.

Quoted from freddy:

so the septic will back up?

Lol. Who has time to go to the bathroom when your playing the hobbit?

Seriously I still may end up having to sell a pin but I don't think it's going to be this one.
