I'm curious what people are paying, best cash sale out the door from a distributor for a standard or premium Hobbit?
Pm me if you have some figures,
thanks, James

Took a drive down to PA and grabbed this tonight from a pinsider.
Staying over at mother in laws 2 hours from home and then tomorrow I dig into this baby. Been flipping through this thread, looking forward to it!

Okay, so I've spent some time digging in, here are some of my personal thoughts.

Looks great, build quality appears good. The playfield glass does not seem to be an exact fit or it's off a bit in the slides. It makes getting the glass on and off a little difficult.

The game is really something else, but I don't want to glow too much in this honeymoon phase. It will be getting even better for sure, the modes are well done and when polished, will really set the bar. With that said, there is a lot going on in these rules and it can feel overwhelming. I don't think this is a bad thing, it can just drive you a little crazy because you want to know everything right now and it's hard to get a grasp of this in a single player game. So much to see, it's best played with a friend.

I have the post fix on the left rail, only once has it hopped over and a quick bang to the cab free'd it. The game flows well and I like the shots and what's here. One of the things I did was align the flippers more straight, as they were up slightly. This makes for much better spinner shots.

It tough to say whether the game feels too easy or it's just really crazy. Perhaps too easy is the wring word, it has a lot of modes and more to come. It is a test of stamina.
peaking of which, some of these multiball modes are among the most insane I've ever experienced in a game, and ball time in general is very high.

When it's all said and done, I think this is a special game, like WOZ. Time will tell how it holds up for the build or replay, but so far so good, I'm a fan.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

JJP website is still showing 1.31 as the latest update on their site. Hopefully the new code gets posted soon.

Was suppose to hit last night, I've been waiting for it.
