The mods have been notified and mod specific threads have been created. They made their decision about him remaining. The atmosphere with him around has gotten so toxic that I won't even let my son read pinside anymore. He grew up on pinball but I can't have him (he's 10) read drunken diatribes from this fool. Eventually they will note their mistake and rectify it. Until then let's count the downvotes he receives. May set some kind of record?

I just preordered a hobbit after playing it this past weekend. Wow. It's fantastic.

[removed criticism of the moderator feedback option]

Now back on topic, the game plays very fast for a wide body. Once I think it's pitched properly and the flippers tuned to the persons liking the game will be very unforgiving.

If this post could be up voted a dozen times I would. Spot on.

Worked for me? Just make sure hobbit_update is the only folder on the usb stick and its not inside some other folder like

zipfilename/hobbit_update

Ohh an mine arrived! Yeah baby.

Playing perfectly right out of the box. Leveled it and go!

My flippers seem strong as hell right out of the box. I'm at 7.3 (high i know but i love a fast game).

The game is ridiculously fast for a wide body. REALLY enjoying it.

One of the first few orders but I had mine held for a bit because i didn't have room for it.

I think it's one version that supports all games. I don't think they make different releases for each type of game.

What pitch does everyone have their hobbit set to? Mine is set to 7.2/7.3 and it plays like a cocaine hopped up cheetah with a bottle rocket up its ass. It's so blazingly fast yet I haven't had any problems with wireform drops or anything like that?

Dead center of playfield. For me right under the lock rollovers.

Regardless who you order from, you pay the shipping or you pay the tax of NJ if you pick it up at the factory. That's how all states and products work.

It's software based. I'm sure Keith will fix it.

If anyone is interested, I'm selling my Hobbit LE that has only 33 plays on it (half of which are factory testing), with the upgrade kit, inside side art, etc.

It is factory fresh. I literally played it 10-12 times and thats it. I have no time to play and its a waste sitting there.

$7300 out the door if anyone wants it.
