Cool thread thanks for starting it...... I think we needed another one of these WAAAAAAAAAA threads. Just jump ship you probably dont want to hear yellow brick road over and over anyways. Love the ding noise to it is so calming.

I have lost interest in this game and seriously not sure about Hobbit anymore. So slow to get the code in good shape with all those games out there making money on a shell of was promised.

I want to play it when it comes out but so tired of hearing about it especially the fact that he has not said crap about what date your game is shipping. Sue him he did not ship in March see if you can do better at building it before you whine again. Try thinking for a second that maybe they want to ship a game to but cannot because they were not organized enough to get the right parts in time.

I will not give them another dime till I see some really big changes in the company. I seriously am thinking of getting out before we get the "sorry were out of business " post. Take another vacation Jack that will make me to pay you more for Hobbit. Oh and this was the worst them saying price raise on Hobbit LE and than we did not find enough chumps like me stupid enough to give them money on nothing more than license and a lacklaster photoshop cabinet. Sorry if you liked it other than the LCD it looks like they took the movie poster and moved it around and went bang that so good together print it. I seriously would rather they just went HOBBIT in big yellow or gold letters and just get rid of the scanned boring image of dwarves taking a poop in a hobbit hole. Oh yeah that cauldron sure represents alot without the 3 cave trolls that made that scene.

Yeah so monday refund for me most likely or no more money till I see a finished shipping game. Does not anyone worry that you will never see a game or your money if they go bankrupt before shipping it? I have no recourse because of time passed with my credit card currently. So I would have made the thread, will they go under not waaa why my game no ship....

So OP thanks for making this post it made me rethink my Hobbit purchase. Hey jack 2500 bucks gimmie gimmie back. I will reorder and lose my precious saved number LOL!

Update: I just asked for a refund 2500 bucks worth of preorder. Guess all of neos posts and others finally caught up. Hobbit is a pipe dream with a horrible looking cabinet, glad I finally said that. If I want a hobbit I will get one but not going to sit on my money for a stupid plaque number that is not #1. Not sure why I got sucked into the hype. But I will just slide this towards a little bills. So I take it back thanks OP you just made me 2500 dollars richer. Will update if I have any issues with refund but I doubt there will be a issue. Thanks pinside for making me some money tonight.

P.S. my number was #420 for all you stoners out there go for it should be available to steal monday all yours I am over numbers for games. I mean damn I never look at my Tron plaque when I play it 383 or not it does not really matter unless its #1. FYI I had picked 420 because thats what my TFLE was ( not my pick) just showed up because they prejudged me as A Californian, dude I never inhaled like Clinton. Anyways get your Hobbit LE 420 its all you, I give in to the fact that I want my money more than I want a numbered plaque. AGAIN HORRIBLE CABINET JACK.

_{Post edited by starbase : JERSEY JACK HOBBIT REFUND UPDATE!!}

I agree with captain neo now. This is a dumb model and I was dumb to support it . You know what neo is right I do not need sit on my money for a plaque or a number. If I get shut out so be it I mean there are other pinball machines . Really excited to have my money back and the weight of will they go bankrupt before they get to hobbit. Sorry for emotional emo post I will try and spare you guys in the future.

I think I should get a pass for the fact that some of my posts were better.

Just to update my cancellation of the hobbit. Jack responded to me personally even though I wrote Jen .

He tried his best to sell me on his ideas and even showed me something behind the scenes that you will see and scratch your head with what a waste.

So yeah great companies to deal with in terms of a refund. But my conversation with him left me so happy I canceled and questioning me about weather I have played a woz. The only I will ever play that game is on free play at a local pinsides hi Fattrain . I do not care how good it is or the quality is if you make me hear that song over and over and ding ding ding " oh my pretty hahahhaha" I will stab my ear socket with a blunt steak knive. I cannot even stomach another video unless muted. I don't even know if I would go to Sacramento or because I just want to hang with a pinsider and doubt I would make any drive just to play woz.

I would say at this point hobbits playfield will be like the side of the cabinet a bunch of photoshop . The woz playfield with the witch near the flippers is just painful to look at and now I believe the hobbit will not be anything hand drawn and just another damn Xmen / avengers/ tron type. Has it with those o ecstatic about hand drawn art of Metalicca and predator. I really and done I repeat done with lazy cheap design art. And maybe done with jjp unless they do something original. I hope I eat these words and jack claims he is close to selling out hobbit. Well thanks for telling me I am not important you have plenty of sales well now you have one more. And until I see more I have Zero interest in any of your games. Not mad but I see what's going on and my money is back and going somewhere tangible like a trip to Thailand. So I may not have the hobbit but I so have money for a plane ticket now and now a plaque that ways le hobbit and yay for poorly chosen color powder coat. Sorry jack but I always express my feelings on pinside and you will not get a free pass. Good luck jjp and American jobs but I am not going to hope you make a good hobbit pin and I will assum now it will be delayed if the movie is again you won't be able to show off the playfield till late 2014" I feel like reposting the in a separate thread but my guess is still some will read this and agree that the preorder program and the hobbit license was not the best choice for a struggling company that cannot deliver its promise to deliver to pinsiders. Apologies to captain Neo for disagreeing his posts let to me waking up and going free money gimme back! So yeah Thailand guys say it with me now trip of lifetime or a hobbit le that does not exist hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Lot of ignorant responses and yes I was emotional and should not have posted this I guess the ear stabbing comment was a bit much.

JJp I know you are reading my posts and maybe since you are now copy/paste them to me in email you will understand. When I say I do not like a business practice(imaginary 8000 price hike). Than you respond your almost sold out. You may be sold out but your distributors are not. Telling me this just made me think well you do not need my money or purchase at all. As a consumer of pinball machines I am the wrong person to make me feel like my purchase and deposit doesn't matter.

I do not think I would ever purchase a hobbit or any machine from you now. Because you do not need my business you sell plenty of machines.......

To pinsiders who know me I am sorry for writing these emotional posts. Sorry fell in love and had a really emotional week for someone who is never emotional. I fell in love not sure what will happen but pinball became less important I would say. I will spare you a lot of people who probably read my dramatic posts and went WTF star base ?

To the ignorant dumb people who tried to cut me down or make fun of me. First I do not care what your opinion is. Second I am going to Thailand for love not a vacation so I am not going to eat hair like Clay in the Star Wars thread. I just doubt I will come home empty handed.done with thread and done with JJp for now.

JJp just letting you know you should drop this. Despite my posts hurting you I have a ton left to write but will spare you and pinside this. I am entitled to my opinion. You should be more worried abut a lynching on pinside if you do not ship Woz soon. I meant everything I said about Woz and sorry I was not nice about it. Just refund my deposit back I need not waste my time or thought or money on your unable to hold a promise pinball machine company.

My apologies pinsiders for drama.... :)Oh but not to ignorant pinsider you can all toss off

Thanks your opinion matters a lot........ No advice please stick to pinball.

Thanks so much for your post it means a lot considering the ignorance on this board.

You hit the nail on the head, I am not going to Bangkok for bar girls although I do know the concept. Not a vacation a mission for me.

To pinsiders who are smart the regular crew if you will. Sorry for my lame posts not going to happen again and it was all me. Sorry to JJp for being such an ass I took it way to far.not posting again in this thread I did enough damage .

Sorry my story is to damn good and exciting to share with pinsiders. Pm me in a month or two and I will give you a full update . For now I am going to keep you wondering . Learned my lesson already this week of to much info. No matter what I would say some idiot what come out of the woodwork and piss all over my happiness.

Thanks stargazer that is nice of you but you should pray for all the people that are going to be jealous. I pity them.
