Well, it is getting closer, so things are looking good. It is great to see any Hobbit getting produced. It's been a long wait, but its going to be exciting to actually play a game that isn't in demo mode. They have had a long time to program this beast. With 30 modes that is going to be one huge programming challenge. Keith is known for stacking modes, so can you imagine getting 4+ modes going at the same time. Jeeesh. Talk about pushing the CPU to the limits.

Quoted from lordloss:

The code has been finished on woz for a year or so?

Well, I thought the code was done on my Woz, like 3 times. I was satisfied with the code, then another update comes and makes it better, then another and another. It's awesome, and for me the game just gets better and better. I think this next update will be the last, but who knows? I wouldn't bank on it, but I will enjoy it !

Taking a guess here. Assuming 1500 Se and LEs were sold, and you ordered one today, and you were say, number 1400 on the list, they would have to produce over about 115-120 per week, every week to deliver all of them in the first quarter. I doubt that's going to happen. The assembly line is going to have a slow ramp up. I say end of 2nd quarter, if everything works like a Swiss watch.

I agree with you Kaneda. I don't agree with the LE hype, no matter who is manufacturing pins. I'm buying the Hobbit LE only because of the invisiglass and the shaker. I almost went with RZ but when I saw what you get for $6k with RZ compared with $7500 for the hobbit, and Keith Johnson doing the code, it was an easy decision for me. I really don't care about rarity or the LE hype. Give me good gameplay and value for the money. Guys seem to be tripping all over themselves to buy RZ because they are only making 300. I'm not interested in going down that road.
