After reading through this thread, I really wish it was still going. Has anyone heard any rumors on theme/design? Or have something they can tell us without risking their employment? If not, when do you think we'll hear the first details about Lawlors' new game?

Now THAT'S a refreshingly detailed response!

JJP has no plans to switch to normal body pinball machines do they? Here's hoping it's a widebody with an upper flipper that can do more than one shot.

So supposing this could get done and start shipping in... November 2015... that means at a price of $8000 we'd need to save 500 per month for 16 months.

I agree with the majority of these posts, we probably wont know anything official about this pin until TH is in production. They wouldn't want to give people much time to consider backing out of their pre-orders (to whatever extent that's possible) no matter how awesome the Hobbit is going to be.
