About to jump into my first JJP, and am wondering the same...as I'd like to pick up what'll be most scarce first, and I was assuming the Hobbit.

Any ideas or recommendations to that regard folks?

Thanks for the suggestion! I know I should definitely save some cash buying HUO, but as long as NIB is available, I want to try and be s first owner for newer titles....ideally.

I think that particular user was stating how the game... isn't... about cellphones. The one they were responding to, definitely had issues with cellphone integration.

I think the phone is as well integrated/dominant as any other feature, and blends in a way where any misgivings I had about that aspect of the theme entirely disappeared. It's as timeless a game as so many of Lawlors.

That's where my mindset it at, production halting, isn't the same as ceasing. Aren't the Hobbit and WOZ prime examples of new models, with updates mind you, and future pins produced post initial production?

I'm really wondering.....where did all of this production ending talk even start? What source? Is it just naysaying based on not liking the game or actual informed insight?

From what I gather, this game was in preproduction for awhile, (I'd assume with contracts and design at least a year) actual production for six months so far, and user/owner response on this forum has been exceptionally good, to say the least. Given that, and the efforts to procure the license to begin with, why on Earth would JJP do a one time production and cease manufacturing?

I'm still wondering where the sources are for stating it's this run, and done with POTC.

Isn't he just really inferring it might be made...period? If JJP makes it, it's still been made.

How'd you feel about WOZ in that regard? Looking at some old clips and assets from this film, I'm not sure how subtle can occur. Kinda worries me...

Far, far worse. UnJersian...!

I'd take a Wonka Lloyd over a Willy Wonka anyday!

I'm sure WLTG : ) already would have modes concocted involving tequila, drunk monkeys, and his ever lovin' pooch side kick too!

I played the last four Stern's tonight, as well as Dialed In and Pirates, and felt crazy saying to some friends, new to modern pinball, how thin the plastics and ramps feel when I connect with them on Sterns, versus JJP. I'm glad I'm not imagining things here.

And jeez, I finally got to play a Munsters LE with balls in the basement, and wow that feels like a tinker toy. I can't believe that was given the go ahead in that state for production. No feedback at all, and the micro flippers and balls have no weight to them whatsoever. Hitting those balls feels like Godzilla must swatting flies. As soon as I'd hit down there, I wanted out, even amidst the iffy upper playfield.

Welcome to the mayhem!

I hope to go to Allentown as well, so I'll hope for that also!

I was in for two of those 12, woohoo!!!
