I'm buying one of these, I have now decided. I spoke to Jack the other day about some of my concerns, and he answered all questions. Great guy.

Definitive factor for me is Keith Johnson is apparently off the leash, which literally may blow our minds at what a rule set could be.

For any of you that do not know, Keith Johnson is responsible for the rules from TSPP and LOTR - you know, the two deepest games ever made. Now, 8 years later, with a company that wants to make the best machine ever made, for pinball lovers, and he can do whatever he wants.... I’m sold....

I’m not one to ever previously speculate on upcoming releases, but this machine has insane potential.

Point being that Jack said that Johnson is off the leash and able to do whatever he wants. I had not really heard that emphasized before.

I debated this machine many times, but when I heard that, I decided that I was in.

Coaster:

I'm not like you man I don't buy everything new and purge the old stuff, this will be my first NIB. I usually don't care unttil it comes out and I can put my hands on it. Many more nay's of late new, so a much safe tactic IMO.

But with the photos up now, and the possible rules, and looking at it, this is the first time that I am confident on something before it has been released.
