I'm in with SE #114. Jen told me that there's 80 machines produced already and are waiting for final testing to be completed. After that, they're going to release the pins for shipment. Mine is one of those 80 and was informed that it would be at my door mid March, but possibly could be earlier.
Quoted from FalconPunch:How much are the extra heads?
$200.00
Quoted from kaneda:Something interesting I noticed and this was my main experience...the ball seems to struggle to get up over the ramps when you shoot after a cradle or trap. But if the ball has momentum and and is quick-flipped up the playfield, it can make it over. That was why I felt the flippers were weak. I like to trap, aim, shoot and more than half of the time the ball would just go halfway up the ramp. I hope this can be remedied...
Would love to hear impression from others. I'd go play some more tonight but it's FREEZING OUT!
That question was addressed as well. She basically stated that you can adjust the strength of the flippers to the point that things will start to break. Jen didn't know why they had the flipper strength set so low either. Once it's in your home, you can set it to your liking.
Quoted from Pimp77:The LEs have 1500, the SEs an unknown number presumably less than 1500.
Jack said that he's got 1800 Hobbits spoken for. I'd assume that if there were 1500 LE's , that would leave 300 to be divided up between the Standards and SE's. Or has he not sold out of the LE's yet?
Quoted from Skyemont:CONGRATS. Just seems like there should be more people posting based on Hobbits being shipped over 2 weeks ago. Still confused. Its like one a week.
No confusion. These are the first machine's going into private collectors hands. The others went to operators Distributors and personal friends / affiliates.
