I really like Hobbit. I do think it’s a game for a larger collection. And It seems the biggest criticism is long ball times and heavy multiballs. But, I’d love to play one with no Center post, hard outlanes, and steep pitch. It seems the software supports a more brutal setup too. The game isn’t about playing all 31 modes in one game.

If this were a GB v XMEN v Hobbit thread; I'd take Hobbit anyday, everyday.

Quoted from Rarehero:

If you enjoy it and don't plan on selling it at the moment, no bath was taken, and market value is irrelevant. When I bought Avatar LE, and I posted how much fun it was, the trolls were in full force berating me on what a monetary loss I would take. They'd never respond to my comments on the fun of the game - only the price. Telling. When I did end up selling it, I got like $200 less than what I paid for it...I enjoyed it for a few years and put about 2000 plays on that machine. There was no "loss" in my eyes.
BTW - how did you end up paying $7500 for X-Men LE? It was about $6300 NIB & the market never really took off on it.

Xmen was one of, if not the first preorder pin phenomenons. The LEs sold out quick and the hype train got huge on the game, the pics looked awesome and since there was no premium model, owners began selling their LE preorder spots for profit. Now I thought it was only a few hundred dollars but maybe some paid north of $7k? funny that when the game got released and people saw how big wolverine really was and the fact that the pin didn't know how to score properly, it began tanking fairly quick.

Quoted from EricR:

Good lord, what kind of twisted and unique hell is this that you've imagined Levi? You're quite disturbed sometimes.

This is what it was set up like at Pinburgh, plus with lighting flippers iirc. I only got to play 1 game on it but it was quite a different experience from every other time I've played The Hobbit, which admittedly is only a few dozen times. It was a short game for all 4 players, so limiting ball times is certainly possible. I'd like to get in some more time on a machine set up like that.

I'd love to see a stream or video of a setup like his. Wonder if we could convince the buffalo guys to do one.
