"Greetings Pinball Fans,
Today we are allowed to reveal the latest cabinet and backglass artwork creation by Jeff Busch. We are working on the game mechanisms, rules, insert placement, playfield artwork and the interactive Smaug mechanism on the playfield. In the next few weeks we will show more progress on the playfield.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opened today and we got a sneak preview earlier this week and the movie was Awesome!
Today we host over 200 people at our JJP Factory so in coming days we will post pictures and more on the cabinet artwork.
Be sure to watch The Today Show this Sunday Morning for a story about Pinball !
Please see this update from one of our many amazing distributors, Joe Newhart of PinballSTAR Amusements. Joe says, "Our donation of a Wizard of Oz game to St. Christopher's Children's Hospital in Philadelphia will be on Tuesday 12/17. We are PinballSTAR Amusements, Jersey Jack Distributor and it took us a year to raise the money through game sales, tournaments, and sales of tshirts and posters, but we made it to donation #1. I have purchased other WOZ games for future donations as we continue to raise money.
I would like to put the call out to any Philadelphia, PA/NJ/MD/DEL pinheads who would like to come out and be part of the donation ceremony and hang out with some kids and play pinball. Jersey Jack is planning on attending, schedule permitting.
Please contact me at Sales@PinballSTAR.com if you'd like to attend and I can get you all the info ! I know it's a work day and all - but if anyone can make it - it will be a fun day to share pinball with the kids. The timing wasn't planned this way, but it is nicely timed right before Christmas for those kids stuck in a hospital for the holidays.
Donations for this project are also gladly accepted to paypal at Joe@PinballSTAR.com." More info can be found at
