Why?
Just Why on certain area of Hobbit!

I don't know if this has been brought up,
but to me it's just the little things and specifically one area
that sticks out like a shot off thumb...

So there are these 3 posts with rubber rings in a row totally exposed!
No plastic over it?
No toy like a figure or two or item over them?
Why not another target or target bank?

Just 3 exposed posts?
To me, it's more of an eye sore than Angus face!

Yeah,
I during the whitewood time frame it makes sense...

My idea if they're just toast of R and D and ideas,
just put a small Smaug tail plastic there somehow.

#4 9 years ago

They are there to stop the left sling from bashing the lane guide in there. I don't see an issue with it.

#5 9 years ago

Needs to look like the left side.

Rewind,
You're totally missing my point.
Something cool or artist really should be covering these.

It looks like the bottom one is adjustable for outlane entry. Who wants to pull an assembly off when they adjust the outlane post?

#8 9 years ago

i'm more concerned with how the game will play

#9 9 years ago

I just keep wondering what this game could have been if Nordman had designed it...

Well, when I hear of a tail being interactive in this game,
and there isn't even a tail plastic (like could cover up these posts),
it's a lot of $$$$ and I'd focus on "small things" like this.

#11 9 years ago

I agree about the plastic it would be good to dress this up a little.
Have we seen the final version of this game yet?
Last time I saw pics was of an unfinished game.

As far as the posts I could not say until playing the final version. I am sure there is a great reason for them being there.

#12 9 years ago

can always add your own mod there?

#13 9 years ago

Great! Now that you pointed it out all I do is notice it thanks a lot man. Agreed!!!

#14 9 years ago

Perhaps something is going to be there...not final

Spent 3 hours with Jack yesterday...Game is done, waiting for finale parts to arrive. Then assembly starts.
Played it for 90 min with three guys until we broke it down and loaded it into Jacks van. It's going to be a 1 of the best games ever

#16 9 years ago

cool...I can live with that. Was the lance mechanic working?

#17 9 years ago

If it's final,,, ,, ,
I'm making my first mod!

#18 9 years ago

it probably is final, or very close. My hopes are that Matt does a few extra mods for the machine. I would like to jazz it up a bit more to be honest.

NOTHING is worse than the Angus face. I do agree these 3 posts need something though...
