If you're a Pinhead like me then you know how much of a comeback the pinball industry has been doing in the last few years. Between Stern , who has been around since the beginning still coming up with new tables, to newcomers Jersey Jack Pinball here in the states and Heighway Pinball based in the UK. Anyway, the point I'm getting to is Jersey Jack Pinball is designing their next (second) pinball machine on (wait for it....) The Hobbit ! I figured since Stern did The Lord of the Rings pinball then they would have gotten the rights to do this too but I guess Jersey Jack managed to snag those especially after wowing everyone with their much long awaited The Wizard of Oz pinball . They already have a playfield drawn out and making progress to the eventual whitewood stage of testing. Here is a video promo teasor for The Hobbit pinball. A couple of teaser advertisements showcasing what the machine itself may look like. The current playfield layout still subject to some changes. As you can see from the side cabinet artwork, the game, ruleset, and LCD backglass animations will be based on all three Hobbit films much in the same manner as Stern's The Lord of the Rings pinball was. Here is the original website I follow for all pinball related tidbits. Pinball News Also, there is a documentary in the works about the phenomena of pinball returning.
