Quoted from snaroff:Hard to know when Pirates will ship and how it will come together as a whole.
I took delivery of my first JJP pin a couple weeks ago...Dialed In LE. Amazing Lawlor design. Standard body. Quirky original theme that "works". Before I played it, thought the title/theme was goofy. After playing it, realized the theme's relevance and broad appeal.
DI is a winner. Unlike Hobbit, which is going down in value considerably, I think Dialed In will go in the other direction (once people realize how much fun it is and how much is packed into it!). The Hobbit is a stark, lousy design (though I'm sure the software & rules are great). Dialed In has it all...great design from a master, packed with toys/tricks, and great software. Even has a subway!...something missing from pins developed over the past decade.

Just so you know The Hobbit has a subway too! The playfield of the Hobbit can appear stark at first but there's a ton there that opens up / gets activated as the game is played. TH actually fills up more spots on the IO board compared to WOZ.
