Quoted from Bobby:

Just unboxed a Smaug Gold SE and set it up in my pinball room. I played it at the Ohio show and my wife took a liking to it ( a big + for me!). At any rate, 10 days later and I just played my first 3 games on it. Out of the box, I had one small issue - start button wouldn't start a game; the switch had worked itself loose just a bit. Pushed it back in and it showed on the diagnostic board as working and that was it, frankly not bad!
Game is gorgeous for sure. Playfield clear looks good, ramps are deep chrome and it has a solid feel to it; reminds me of older wide body Williams game in feel. Certainly doesn't feel cheap. The pop-ups (4 total) remind me of trolls on Medieval Madness. Ball seems to rollover them with no diversion (again like MM). On slower rolling balls, the rollover buttons (again 4 I belive) will divert ball; on faster rolling balls it doesn't seem to.
This game was made on March 29th and is #281, but by serial number is 46th one made.
I'm at the .81 software and will do the update by this weekend. For now, just enjoying it for what it is.
More to follow,
Bob
