Real poor way to advertise here. He does not even have the game title in the listing. LoL I offered 5k but he said "Aint ready to let it go for that low yet"

I recently played one and really wanted to get more time on it. I was very impressed with all the features.

It seems that a lot of people have turned their back on that pin. I hear it's not one that lasts long in my most people's collections.

It's  a cool pin for sure I just don't love the girly theme. Smiley

I have seen bad play fields where the paint is chipping off near the pop bumpers.

when i was just starting into the hobby last year I thought this was the best pin ever. I loved it and I couldn't get enough of it. In that time I watched my friends woz get wrecked. The machine is not holding up well at all. The game has also waned on me. I don't enjoy it at all anymore. I really feel like there isn't much to do. There is just too much 'wood chopping' to get anywhere fun and too many modes are just frustrating.

I agree it is a Girly theme.

Would mylar coating help play field help any? That is pretty crazy to think a NEW game will loose the play field but a 20+ year old game still has a good play field. HOW! I ask you Jersey Jack! All these great features and LEDs, LCDs, but a chipping play field?


Maybe this issue will be Fixed on their new Hobbit when ever it comes out. But IMO The Hobbit is a little late and the moves are done now. They should do an original concept and not a movie themed game.

the hobbit is really lame. not fun at all. I think the woz issues is because of how intense the bumpers are, very intense. mylar might help a little but its insane to think a clear coated modern game sucks that bad.
