However, there are a few that look decent and would love to try, such as "Wipeout" and "Bone Busters, Inc."My theory on the Gottlieb tables/LCA choice is this:1.) The reason we got so many towards the end of Season 2 is because the Williams/Bally licensing deal had ended, and also because Farsight has said on a few occasions that Gottlieb tables are the cheapest tables to acquire, so we'll always get one in any worst case scenario.2.) I refuse to believe any reasoning that we got LCA over much more highly, HIGHLY requested Gottliebs, such as "Rescue 911", other than that someone from the company wanted it.  The same reasoning also applies to "T2". (Though the sudden, out of nowhere window to license the table also played a factor.)  I can't imagine LCA making more money than "Rescue 911", and the table would NOT require a kickstarter.  I can't even imagine it being that pricey to make, either.  They'd have to pay a fee to Gottlieb, and a free to CBS. (Or whoever currently owns the rights)Also, there shouldn't be any reason why Farsight could NOT obtain the rights to such tables as "Wipe Out", "Cactus Jack's", etc.  Those tables are non licensed, and Farsight already has a deal with Gottlieb to make re-create tables.  So, seeing that LCA was never requested (At least to my knowledge), and the fact that it placed so low in the Top Ten Gottlieb Poll, I'm sticking with my theory....and this is EXACTLY what I did in my "Season 4 Most Wanted Poll".  My only regret is that I couldn't add more tables.  I also specifically left off Premium tables because the odds of them topping the poll were high, with the chances of us actually getting 98% of them being low.</blockquote>
