Simpsons next?
TSPP + DE Simpsons fits that quote, too.
I just get the feeling that the Season 6 / TAFG tiers were a last-ditch "Plan C".
I've just realized, Dr Who fills in the final table from the rotation at the "Airport Lounge" bar at Sussex Uni (I forget it's real name, go figure):
- Hurricane
- Dr Who
- Twilight Zone
- BSD
- Frankenstein
Is there a Sussex University in the US, or were you at the Falmer campus near Brighton, England? I was there '87-'90, a bit before your time looking at those tables I remember playing Comet and Black Knight there, in between marathon Gauntlet sessions...
Is the reskinned thing a kickstarter exclusive or are they going to somehow sell it in Season 6 as some sort of bonus feature for more money.

"Plan A" was attempting to engage with Dr Who fans after the initial rush of pinball fans subsided. This just plain didn't work.
"Plan B" was to time Dr Who Regen to kick of a new wave... and engage more with Dr Who fans... but again, it only really caught on with the pinball fans.
"Plan C" was likely either a last resort or cobbled together on the fly after asking the execs if they could do it, and was pure "go for the pinball fans, we just couldn't engage the Dr Who fans". Yeah, that worked.
Lessons learned? If you're planning on engaging with a set of non-pinball fans - albeit fans who might be more likely to be interested in pinball, since the sci-fi/video games/pinball crowd does intersect somewhat - plan it much further in advance. Work out which fan sites and conventions you're going to hit, and have press releases ready to go from Day 1.
There is the Stern NBA table, but I still think NBAFB happens when hell freezes over.
karl 100% who cares how you cross the finish line !!! WELL DONE EVERYONE !!!Who cares if they got desperate. They got it done, and for that I salute them.
The important thing is that they did what they could to bring us this table.
With the season passes, they had to take a huge cut from their income to make it happen. We are the ones who benefit the most from that situation.
I sincerely hope that Farsight will still make a healthy sale from the table when it comes out
