I have extensive time on all three. Before you plop down $6-$10K I'd suggest getting some time on each. For me it would be an easy decision as my Hobbit is bolted to the floor. It's value is unmatched since it got so much hate before the code was finished. A lot of people have also only played Hobbits that were set far too flat and slow. IMO it's the greatest theme integration ever in pinball by a huge margin. You already have a LotRs so you would need to decide if you want two journey games. I can tell you that if LotRs ever gets Vaulted I'll have one next to my Hobbit. All three are solid titles. TZ can be a nightmare to keep running and is probably going to cost you several thousand more than a Hobbit. Path of Adventure on IJ can also be a pain in the ass. IJ will also cost you a few thousand more unless it's really beat. Or you could grab a Hobbit with modern hardware and less than 1000 games on it for $6-$6.5K. Easy pick in my mind but again, log time on all of them before dropping that kind of coin. Best of luck.
