Nice update, for speculation realizing this is an incomplete whitewood, where does the ball go when it get's behind either of the upper flippers (looks like a spidey sense shot intended or not is possible)?

It was an interesting event...I was there between 10 and 2pm.....many thanks for the hospitality to JJP.

Played Hobbit once and WOZ twice. I actually wanted to leave with a WOZ, but the price wasn't right. I've been in with a preorder of WOZ since the early days - switched to Hobbit instead late in the game (kids love the Hobbit) - so JJP has had my payment for a long time.

Today was the first day I ever saw a JJP game in person - wow WOZ is aesthetically awesome and loaded with features and toys. I love the rich colors on the field art and the lights - really well done.

I did not know about the chat pictured above....didn't see it announced.....maybe I missed it.

My kids enjoyed it! Talked to a couple JJP folks here and there - no Hobbit news shared. I am hoping there is a surprise or two left on the Hobbit - guess time will tell.

Hobbit had the longest line going (there was only one setup). I had the feeling that there wasn't much more to learn on the game in that type of environment (we all had Smaug MB in our first game). My guess is that the LCD is going to be a big part of this game versus multiple playfield toys - so I'm looking forward to seeing how it is integrated into gameplay. Questions marks for me right now are that kickback (windlance thing) and the third flipper - I don't know if we were using it properly (we just pushed the button) - but if that has to feed the third flipper for the "killshot" it will need to be extremely reliable - that would be my only question mark.

The game also looks ripe for one of those 'last minute' feature surprises like the WOZ crystal ball - guess time will tell there.

If there were a few of them setup, I know we would have logged more plays and I could give you better feedback.
