#3222 6 years ago
Quoted from meSz:

a hernia comes to mind!

lol

Quoted from KingBW:

bought an Escalera and love it. It does not get used much, but my back and balls thank me every time it does get used. My son thanks me now too.

i believe that

Quoted from VegasAlleycat:

I removed the playfield on my Hobbit to make it easier to move it upstairs. It really was fairly simple--I just labled all the connectors as I disconnected them and the playfield simply pulls right out. It made it easier for me to move the two pieces upstairs and then I just reconnected all the connectors.

thanks for the advise!

#3255 6 years ago

Looks to me the same way as others machines?

#3256 6 years ago

Can anybody explain how the backstab works?

#3263 6 years ago
Quoted from pinballinreno:

Backstab can lower a creature without hitting it if you cant hit it.
Works best when only 1 creature is standing.
Its not 100% hence the attempt description.
It always amuses me when it actually does work.
I try it a lot on the Warg, it seems hard for me to hit.

ah, thought you could move the beast when it pop up and block the shot that you have to hit
but thats not the case.

#3285 6 years ago

it seems to me that it only takes to remove the bolts and a few cable . a lot easier then other pins only heavy.

i have beaten smaug and make it to the battle of the 5 armies. it was awesome!

#3368 6 years ago

great to hear jack. wait till you beat smaug in a mutiball. thats really awesome but...hard to get. destroy the ring in the lord is easyer. hobbit is really a great pin. i dint care much for the woz but thats a matter off taste i gues. i had one game and make it to battle off the 5 armies. dint play it long but the sounds where very quit to me for an multi ball. anyone had super jackpots there? no idea how manny to hit to reach the arkenstone.
