This looks like a bad ball trap problem as I can see the ball rolling off and getting stuck there often.

Quoted from TouchingEvil:

How many of you guys in this thread has got their The Hobbit broken from out of the box ?

Mine was fine, couple simple adjustments and that's it. Game is great, very happy with it

Quoted from dtowndobe:

Last night, got an extra ball special - had to hit a roaming drop target, then once you hit that, you have to hit both the Radagast hole and Balin hole to collect the extra ball. I was surprised I hit the roaming target... then I drained before I get even attempt the hole shots!!!
Pretty damn cool sequence to get an extra ball! Kudos to Keith and Ted for that!

I agree this is a cool sequence and very rewarding when you can get the extra ball. Some great light shows for this sequence

- Is the Subway divertor integrated into any mode yet, if so what mode and how can I test? I have never seen it used and when a ball goes into the subway it always comes out the Left VUK and NEVER the right VUK.

- I noticed my Bag End optos would not trigger when the ball passed through. I had to lift the left side of the Bag End entrance plastic with some washers to get it to register a ball from the playfield level. It must have been blocked or some glare from the plastic? Works fine now, anyone else see this?

- are the Bag End entrance optos used for anything?

- Has anyone received fixes for trolls or left wireform fix from JJP yet?

Quoted from Pimp77:

Yes, because I've seen it come out the right VUK. Can't tell you when or how though, but I believe it diverts after completing "A Thief in the Night" for one.

ok cool I don't think I have even played this mode yet. Is there anyway to easily test the subway divertor.

I guess I could handball it to that mode, but I dont want to spoil the game

Anyone get the fixes sent out from JJP? monster hole and the left wire form fixes?

If so can you post pictures
