Good post. Had high hopes for TH. It could look so good between my LOTR and WOZLE.

Biggest problem for me is that it looks like pin by committee. Very uncoordinated and unattractive. Very unlike WOZ, which I have and love - play wise and looks wise. We light WOZ up around Christmas time and just leave it on it looks so good!

Second problem is Smaug. Everyone is so disappointed by it, even the fanboys have redefined success on Smaug. ( confession - I was mostly an annoying fanboy for WOZ, so I understand the mindset)

Haven't cancelled my order yet, but I am close. Might wait around to see what changes, but my goodness how much would have to change! Code alone cannot save this pin for me.

I do hope JJP sells enough of them to be profitable so they continue cranking out some amazing pins. I think they KILLED it on WOZ as their first pin, but I can't imagine this one being as popular as WOZ or popular at all.

I would have exactly the same concerns at $5500. I have 12 spots in my game room and too many pins. Every pin has to earn a spot in my house regardless of cost. (Yes, I have too many right now...)

TH will have to bump a keeper for me to grant admission - right now DH is safe. I could see it bumping IJ4, but there is also a TBL on the way....
