[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 152658, member: 134"] At one point FS had said they spent 11 grand on a table, but didn't specify which. Cactus Canyon was announced soon after. Thus we all assume it was that machine. In the real world, it is also a very expensive pin to buy, due not only to its low production run, but being the last production table made. Dokken, the point isn't whether LAH is better than T2. So many people that play TPA have limited to no experience playing the real version of these machines. So what it comes down to is the look and the theme appeal. T2 is just a much more appealing property on every level. Better movie, better look to the table, and a Williams machine compared to Data East (which many people, myself included, look at as an immediate strike against!). As for why FS would want to add South Park? Because the name alone will sell a bunch of copies. Imagine the horror if FS managed to secure the Simpsons license and then put out the Data East table instead of Stern's! And yet they'd still sell a bunch just because of the name. A really interesting experiment would be to see the difference in a Kickstarter for Shrek or Family Guy, since they are the exact same table layout, just different graphics. [/QUOTE]
