So far every pack has been a re-release and a new one besides the single KS tables, even the original 4. Guess we'll be seeing ACE HIGH, EL DORADO, Teed OFF, SORCERROR, JIVE TIME, STRIKES N SPARES, GOING NUTS, ZOLTAN, PLAY BOY, LOVE METER.

I'm ok with this, but there will be a real crap storm when/if one of these is paired with a less popular title. Imagine the outcry if there was a Metor / Goin Nuts pack announced. As long as a re-release is paired with a strong table, it shouldn't be too tough for folks to swallow. I know Central Park isn't very popular, but getting Cactus Canyon with it makes it much more palatable.

And before people yell at me, I actually like Meteor and hope we see it. :p

You left off Whirlwind! That one's better than anything on this list!

Not thrilled with Central Park, but for the couple of bucks it will cost, I'm sure ill get my money's worth out of it.

Back when they first announced this project, they officially confirmed that they would eventually do all of the tables from both the Williams and Gottlieb collections. The only exceptions are Jive Time and maybe Sorceror because their agreement with WMS only allows them to have the rights to a certain number of tables and they wanted to exchange Jive Time (and maybe Sorceror) for something else if WMS allowed it. They later said that they may not do Teed Off due to Gottlieb emulation problems. And I am not sure what they are doing with Xoltan and Love Meter or how they plan to get their hands on a Goin Nuts.

The following tables will fill out the table packs through December 2013. What happens after that is sketchy, but I'm willing to bet that Table Add-On Pack #21 will be the final pack containing a Pinball Hall of Fame table.

Pin●Bot
Space Shuttle
Whirlwind
Sorcerer
Ace High
Victory
Tee'd Off
Goin' Nuts
El Dorado City of Gold

Jive Time (which I am actually pretty fond of now), Play-Boy, Strikes 'n Spares, Xolten and Love Meter won't make it into The Pinball Arcade.

Well, if a weak table is paired with another weak table, that wouldn't irk me at all. It just makes it easier to pass on the whole thing. However, this pack is a perfect example of what does irk me. I don't like Central Park, but I must buy it because I want Cactus Canyon.

I get ya. I never considered not buying a pack, so I never looked at it that way before.

I think the hate for older tables is too much. I actually like CP & Jive Time. I don't always want to sit down for a long play session and the older tables fill a nice itch for me.

Really if anything FS should just go back to breaking down their packs and make the price reasonable (ie. Don't charge higher $ cause I bought piece meal).

Just out of curiosity; if the tables listed above fills out the year, does that mean there is going to be only one table release a month. There are nine months of the year left after March and there are nine tables listed.

Well with all the 2 pack releases so far they have done a old table they did in the past and a brand new table. I think PW just put up a list of all the ones that they have left from the ones they are going to do over. So each pack should have two but the unknown new ones will be paired with one of these nine for each the releases until the end of the year
