Second pin up for sale - Hobbit Smaug Gold LE. Similar to the pin that Chris B sold earlier in the week but with more plays on it so priced accordingly. 680 games played (a few more started).

Side blades fitted and homebrew topper (not one I added). Also fitted Col's wicked plastic protectors which can easily be removed if you really wanted to.

Cab in perfect condition as is the playfield.

NOTE: the side blades have been caught when lifting the PF. They were like this when I got it and it has never bothered me so I haven't done anything about it. I think these could be taped or glued, or simply removed if they bother the buyer.

£6100

Pickup from Liphook with easy access. Martin happy to pick up from me (and is generally relatively quick to me).

Another amazing game and certainly something I'd like to own one day. It's a stunner.
 
under the playfield it is ridiculously loaded with stuff.

Wish i could play it on the new code, because my early days experience in TILT wasn't great, but i have only heard good things about the multiple updates that came since. So i'm very keen to try again!

The latest code is amazing! So many modes and things to learn! Loads of great shots too. To some the Playfield looks a bit sparse, but actually there are a load of different things to shoot at.

This is such a great game and like Chris B said on his post easily the most immersive game.
 
I own a Hobbit and it's a great game. Honestly I'm not a fan that you have to play the 3 arkenstone modes in order, as it does feel quite linear in that regard (compared to say LOTR). But there is enough variation in how you qualify these modes which keeps things interesting.

The code is a tonne better, all thanks to JJP's support and listening to feedback. I was one of many people canvassing their team (mainly Ted) to make some specific changes, such as giving the player the opportunity to avoid the default stacking of modes. But they have added a tonne of small stuff, then obviously the wizard mode for completing all game modes (wishful thinking for me!).

As above it's mega immersive and the audio is next level, probably the best I've heard on any pinball machine. I think JJP will really miss David Thiel, the guy is master at pinball audio production/engineering. Would have loved to see what he could have done with Wonka.

Last point, the Smaug kill shot is amazingl! Especially if you can line it up with that upper flipper, so sweet...
 
Hi Martin, Got it set up temporarily in the garage, couldn't wait for the new building. It plays beautifully, Thanks Don
