I can't believe the amount of discussion and speculation this release generated. Pages and pages of posts on Pinside of people trying to decipher the cryptic offering.

Clearly the frustration with JJP over the WOZ delivery debacle hasn't completely derailed Hobbitmania.

I don't understand this immature nonsense. Feel free to give me a call and explain anytime.

looks like a VUK to me.
I think my heart just stopped :lol:

looks like a VUK to me.

Newton ball is all the way over on the left, it almost completely cut off. You can only read ton ll

 

[g-man]

Just how many balls did Newton have anyway ?

Here are some new pics of the middle and lower playfield as well as another stitched together one of an almost full playfield.

Interesting, I'd have to guess that the things in the left, right and center of the PF almost look like they are going to be like trolls from MM.

Yes, that is the general consensus. It might seem like a rip-off from MM, but actual trolls would make more sense in The Hobbit than in MM. What do trolls have to do with Medieval times, anyway ?

I just got excited to see a kickback, haven't seen one of those in pinball for over a decade.

So what was the last one ? NGG ?

 

[Luckydogg420]

This is looking to be cool. 4 flippers, left Outlane kickback. Multiple ramps. Newton ball. Just the stuff I like. And the theme is also up my alley.

 

[frolic]

I like the look of this as well.

 

[spiroagnew]

Axe that UPPER left flipper and its Rollergames. Very similar.

On pinside one guy commented that the left lane kicker is amiable, to shoot the three drop targets on the right.
