Smaug is not a bash toy.

It seems to be totally non interactive in any way that I have learnt ?

Bash toys are exciting compared to this thing ?

Anyone have any other news?

Wholly Crap! I'd hate to be doing a playfield swap on that thing. The underside is absolutely chocca block full.

PF protector fitted at the factory would be the way to go.
Lifting that thing would give me a hernia by the looks of it.

I have no horse in the Hobbit race but the last thing I want to see is another bash toy on a pf.
I think it looks good.
It could be a hell of a lot worse though.....it could be a cheaply made Stern toy that breaks after 30 games.
Party Zone is a good game and it's not a Stern...thank god.

I'd like to know the story behind 50 odd wires connected to each of the troll assemblies.

Could it have something to do with the trolls being able to be hit from multidirectional angles and not just head on?

That looks like a lot of fun Dude. Don't know what THE HOBBIT movie is like, but it seems fast and reminds me of a wide body FT ? Nice long shots too!

Just hired the latest Blu Ray Hobbitt movie tonight.

"The Hobbitt" battle of the five Armies.

Will see how this one stacks up ?

I hope Jack from JJP sells heaps cause his passion and dedication to pinball deserves success and would love to see these machines in Australia.

Bash toys on pinballs are very COOL ( all u have to do is picture it as your x wife and rack up points) . Lol

That was a joke if her non friendly legal counsel is reading this. Lol  *)*

Even on my Godzilla Pinball machine the balls come out of the Godzilla head and divert through the head a number of ways. It would have been so simple for JJP to have designed same. Maybe they need to play Godzilla to get some dragon head effects happening !

Will advise what the latest movie on Blu ray is like.

But better quality supposedly on a high def Blu ray player on the latest TV I am assuming.
Same cost to hire Blu Ray vs stock DVD so grabbed the Blu Ray.
It also says marketing crap on the bluray cover like additional uncut scenes and double take action !
(Last bit sounded like porn. Lol)

Will play n see Gav. ?

Have you offered to do a Really cool neon for JJP,s headquarters. Personally I reckon they need some world class Aussie Neon by Gav at their factory. Jack can afford it !
Will you take the challenge Gav.
I can sell ice to Eskimos. Tell me a price and I will get u the Order.

4 metres x 3 metres big enough. Jack needs something to brighten the place up.
If not Gary Stern should be sold one.
I am being serious ! You got the talent. They have the money.
Marriage made in heaven !

Latest Hobbitt movie is excellent. LCD movie bits on JJP machine will be awesome I reckon.
That big LCD screen will look great.

Exactly my thoughts. It reminds me of FT, Stellar Wars and MM (with the trolls). To be honest, I'd forgotten all about this title.  @@^
