Quoted from luckymoey:

The short timeline between Expo and when the games are suppose to start shipping is also why people are particularly concerned. I agree that they will dress up Smaug and overall it has the potential to be cool with the magnet, divertor and talking to the player - but how are molded plastics not complete a couple months prior to shipment. Jack could have mitigated some of the concern at Expo with a short discussion of what is still in the works - like he did with his recent posting.

Quoted from HENSBROOKER:

Time for a good question:
- Alex, when can we expect the release of the final machine? Hardware wise...
Additionally, when are the LE & Smaug edition showed so we pre-orders can make a good comparison between the versions. I'd really like to see the final look of seaside bronze vs high gloss gold. (The MMr will be flabbergasted if you come up with such stunning gold finish
