    Own or have owned them all and Hobbit is #1 for me. Best theme integration of any game, ever. I enjoy the journey and getting through a game with points and high score secondary. The only JJP I have sold so far is Pirates. Exact opposite coding and feel of Hobbit. Yes, it has lots of shots, but horrible theme integration. When you start a multiball it just states the name. No real excitement or fanfare. All modes are identical in that you just hit the number of lit shots vs Hobbit with 33 uniquely coded modes. If only they had assets, Pirates would have been #1 by a mile. I would pick WOZ #2 because it is just beautiful. First game anyone walks up to in my home arcade, every time. Melting the witch is great fun and I love the upper playfields. Dialed In and Wonka are currently a tie for me. I enjoy Dialed In shots more but enjoy Wonka theme more. And of course POTC is last on my list. When the HUO prices soared, I sold...and took home a Wonka and another pin. Enjoy both more than Pirates and kids don't miss it either.

    Quoted from SLRage:

    This thread is letting me know I need to spend some more time with DI. I own WOZ and TH and love them. I have played DI on location a handful of times but couldn’t fall in love with the theme. Looks like I’m gonna have to give it another go if people love it so much.
    As far as POTC, I was bored to death every time I have played it and hate staring at a weird Johnny Depp. I guess the rarity makes people love it because they sure were not buying it was it was for sale!

    It took me some time to open up to DI. But it feels more like a 90'S B/W game to me than any modern pin. I think it is truly what JJP set out to do: give the classic B/W feel with modern technology. I am so glad I made a trade for it, because it is becoming one of my favorites.
