Quoted from Rarehero:Still, the poll doesn't say "INSTEAD"....I don't think anyone planning on buying Hobbit already would be like "Oh - I'm gonna get LOTR instead". People saying LOTR might have zero interest in Hobbit anyway. I'd buy LOTR over Hobbit! ...but I never wanted Hobbit in the first place.
With a $3000 price difference going from TH to LOTR is very possible.
Quoted from Hudson:If Stern is going to stick with a single color DMD on LOTR VE, there is no way it should sell for anywhere close to the price of The Hobbit. There just isn't enough hardware there to make it cost as much. Not a wide body, no LCD, probably not color changing coded playfield LEDs etc...
Just stick with the previous minor improvement changes like they did with Iron Man to keep the cost down, and if Stern wanted to add some flair, they could put in a Color DMD.

Quoted from Kcpinballfan:No, I was just kidding. Nothing to see here.
How is that any different then mylar that has been put on games for the last 25 years? It's $150 and a suggestion if you are worried about wear on your machine.
25 years ago games were going on location and getting more play in one month then a year of HUO do you really think mylar was put on game because they were going to see a few thousand games played.
Quoted from Kcpinballfan:Well hopefully jjp will respond to these concerns, he seems to have sent a new playfield to fix that problem. I'm sure things like this happened back in the day with bally/williams. That complete plastic playfield protector is looking like a must have about now.
He sent a blank playfield so now you need to buy or build two playfield rotisseries before you even start. Of all games to swap if you have never done a swap WOZ is not the one to start with all the toys and the upper play fields would be killer. All in all the guy is f@#ked.
