I attended today with my wife and two sons, and a couple of other friends. Thanks to Jack for opening his place up, nice for him to do this. There was one hobbit to play, but line was too long for me. My kids loved the strikes and spares, so tempted to buy it, but couldn't do it. Also liked the Tommy next to it. There were maybe 15 machines, no vendors and not much of a flea market, but it was very nice to be in a pinball factory.
Pretty cool to see the production line, but at the moment seems like they can only run one game at a time. Not much sign of any Hobbit production, kind was expecting a row of them out to play. However, as noted earlier, only half the factory was visible, so it's entirely possible sonething was happening behind the WOZ cabinets...never thought about trying to peer beyond them. Jack held a Q&A, but I couldn't stay too long as my kids were getting a bit restless. Main thing I heard was that their goal is two great games per year, obviously down the road a bit. I'm not in on the hobbit (and I don't own a WOZ), but if I were, I'm wouldn't be too concerned, these will get done and it will be a great game.
Thanks Jack and the rest of JJP.
