Jacks JJP website should have some up to date news about the machine because they have been incl links on FBook to recent news & developments about this title.
I do know that the game had some major revisions both playfield toy/features based stuff and shot features to make the game more action packed and more bang for your buck. The benefit of the extremely long development time this 2nd title had was that Jack listened to a lot of feedback & made a lot of the changes & additions his customers asked for.
I am betting Jack has got this machines basics & complicated stuff a lot more sorted having learnt a steep learning curve with WOZ.
Jack has said that maybe they over promised and under delivered on their first title but if you have played & seen a recent example/build of WOZ than you would most likely feel that the WOZ title definately delivered for those who waited for series 2 machines cause the latest incarnation/final delivery of WOZ is superb. Theme aside, the game is world class even though I mostly like the theme personally.
I think the Hobbitt machine will be a great machine.
I never buy series one of anything cause I like the bugs ironed out of my technology with series 2 models, and I think Hobbitt will be pretty special to play.
Personally, if 2016 shapes up to be another great year, I would hand over the hard early $ and buy a 75th Anniversary WOZ and a Hobbit later mid to onwards run/built game.
Having those two titles in any persons collection would be hard to refuse because they would be great to have & play if the purchase price is right on the pair.
Has anyone on this forum ordered or expecting a Hobbitt or WOZ machine ?
It would be great to here other people's ideas & plans for anything JJP for 2016.
I am betting Hobbitt will be a awesome game to own or play.
Also, the PinballNews site/Martin had a great article about Hobbitt. Worth the read for sure.
