It sounds like this "super LE" is just something they're doing as games for friends or longstanding customers or distributors. Might have made sense to not even advertise that it was happening in retrospect. They do this kind of thing in comics with variants all the time, where a retailer will...

Yeah, I didn't really count that since it was basically another re-skin. I thought at one point they were saying 3 original titles a year plus vault/re-runs, but that's hardly gospel. I just figured they needed to keep new games coming to keep the line busy, but if Metallica, Star Trek...

Looks like the next game is going to be a semi-valut edition? My suspicion is that it'll basically be the BDK layout with something replacing the joker can and seesaw, but with the rest of the stuff in pretty much the same location. The second LCD will probably be a "batcomputer" (maybe in...

I sold mine for $150 a while back.

Is the archive of the CBC broadcast available anywhere? Doesn't appear to be on the youtube page.

Lower than I'd expect to see a NGG for these days :) I don't think I'd recommend STTNG as a first pin, because if it fails, it fails SPECTACULARLY. T2, Whitewater, and Fish Tales are all good choices for a first game too. They seem simple enough to get/keep running, and there's a decent...

I have it at 6.8 and 22 and it seems OK, but I might try playing around with it a little more. Problem seems to be that clean ramp shots are fine, but backhands and anything slightly off seems to reject about half the time (moreso on the left ramp). Still tweaking though-curious to see what...

I'll echo getting out and playing as many machines as you can before you decide what to buy-looking for leagues or tournaments nearby is a good start too (and "nearby" can vary depending on how far you want to drive for pinball). As for what to look for-get something that works (i.e. not a...

That's really impressive-I like the idea of games being able to stream themselves like that without all the camera rigs. I wonder whether JJP would ever consider supporting something like this officially, maybe as part of a tournament/streaming kit?

There are a couple of modes where you need to use the upper flipper to hit the DWARF bank, or the standups behind them. It definitely plays into Smaug multiball, and Flashback.

These are kind of a pain to install, but I like them better than mirror blades. The ones I got for TSPP are awesome!

New Hobbit code this weekend! Here's the changes: The mode locks are a new feature, and are kind of a neat rule. It means that any mode can be made a multiball, but also that you can use those banked balls while in another MB, so it effectively becomes an add-a-ball for Smaug MB if you don't...

FYI for anyone who has a Hobbit and isn't on the JJP group, they're releasing an update kit to address some of the issues people have been having: Not sure what the problem with the drops is (I haven't had any problems with them yet), but I have had some stuck balls under the beast flaps...

That's completely impractical, but also really awesome. Printing the mini cartridges with NFC was pretty brilliant, and the quality of the 3d prints looks really good.

I think when they did the LE of the Rolling Stones, it had the UK posts everywhere. At one point they had one on the floor at Starburst.

Yeah, I think I might just try to colour match the spot, and then clear over it with a little glue. Problem #3 on the game out of the box was that apparently one of the drops hadn't been working properly. Seems like it was intermittent (since I'm sure it was up at one point), but the F in...

Dammit, I just noticed that one of the side decals has a small ding in it (right above "the"). Didn't see it on first or second glance, but what has been seen can't be unseen. Only real concern here is that I don't want it to get bigger by catching on something. I suppose I could try painting...

No chance in hell on that-picked it up and set it up myself. There's a great big sign on the glass saying to take off the packing material too... Looks like that USB connector is a common issue-I can see how that can come loose in shipping. Also, for some reason the flipper coils were amped...

About time this game showed up: Still working on dialling it in and getting things tweaked. Only issues out of the box were that one of the flipper wires was loose (easy fix) and that the Smaug mouth wasn't moving, and none of the insert LEDs worked. Turns out there's a USB connector under...

It's pretty neat that they thought to design the packaging after the last run NES boxes. No interest in one myself, but nice to see they exist.
