Amazing that a few years ago no one had a bad thing to say about Jack and everyone should support him...man how the times have changed!!! I don't own nor have I ordered a JJP machine so maybe I don't have a reason to be upset with the guy!

With sales in US being mostly to the home collector you all have the option to or not to buy. Don't buy, put Jack out of the pinball business and go back to complaining how Stern is the only manufacture of pinball machines and that the quality oh his machines has deteriorated over the years. Oh yeah the good old days!

iceman, agree as I was one of the ones in the beginning that absolutely hated the theme of the game. Once I played it I was sold on it. Jack's downfall is he is new to the manufacturing business. To take someone's money and and take 2+ years to deliver their product while manufacturing other models is not a good business practice. For someone still waiting on an original LE at this point is absorbed. Hopefully with the Hobbit he will have experience needed to deliver on time. Everything I read on Jack, prior to JJP days, was very positive so maybe he will get back to doing business the way everyone was accustom to!!! The pinball market will benefit from it!
