Quoted from foobeer:

Thinking of selling my Hobbit Smaug. I do love it, so I'm still on the fence and just trying to gauge interest. I will be attending arcade expo next weekend so I could deliver it there. Let me know if you or someone you know would be interested.
I purchased from flipnout1 Larry and it's in excellent condition. Some mods include:
- LOTR ring shooter rod
- Pingraffix pinblades
- Gold LED trough lighting
- Gold LED backboard lighting
- Full set of Cliffy's (these were a PITA to install on this game!)
- Gold ring plate and button
- 4 barrel spotlights (not installed yet)
hollywoodbone Greg from SDTM has played it and said it's one of the nicest he's seen.

Quoted from PinballTilt:

I brought a high end pin this year and all the people with drinks in their hand had me very worried. Hearing that there was an incident makes me second guess whether I ever want to bring a nice pin to this show again.
Naw the two I encountered on more then one occasion were two Caucasian guys.

I had that happen to me also, was one of the guys a tall black man that smelled like pot? After they were done with the four player game the other guy started up another game and we said something. Didn't want to push it, because he was a very large man, haha. For the most part people were pretty respectful and taking turns, so that was an isolated incident for me
