I like to buy new games, I hate to pay and wait.....
So I will get an LOTR, and eventually grab an HUO Hobbit if I like the game.
If however JJP changes their model to shipping the game upon payment.... I will take one. But I am not paying extra because one is in stock somewhere. Nor will I ever again send money to JJP just to wait a year.
To be clear....I have a WOZ and love it, huge fan of JJP quality. I am looking forward to the Hobbit. But my guess is I won't have one for another year, I will have purchased 2 Sterns or more by then.
