[QUOTE="Nightwing, post: 156758, member: 976"] Let's start with that. I don't see how you can say that 25% is a bad figure. Of course most people nowadays are more familiar with the later pins from the 90's (the DMD era). So it stands to reason that a good portion of TPA tables will come from that time period. But a decent amount of tables from that era are mediocre to downright awful - which is where you can find room for some of the excellent tables from the time before that. So far TPA has done that. With the schedule going down to one table a month - it will certainly be harder to get any older tables in. But it will still happen. Heck,3 tables in Sesson 3 are non-DMD tables. And there are many more good tables that are pre-DMD & have no extra licensing issues that can be had. Season 4 should be an interesting one... Okay - can you,or anyone else for that matter - explain to me how Farsight can be stunned about Rescue 911 (or any other requested table for that matter) when it is posted [I][B]to their own Facebook page???[/B][/I] That absolutely makes no sense. Anyways... Because I happen to have some free time on my hands - I decided to go back one month and go through the posts made by others to TPA's FB page. So I looked back - and Rescue 911 had two people ask specifically on its chances for TPA inclusion. (Myself being one of the two). The FS rep replied in both cases,and this is what they said during the last request: [I]The Pinball Arcade - While popular as far as gottliebs go, it's not particularly popular in comparison to other tables in general, if we ever do make it, it will most likely be after a few we know are a bit more popular in general, we have much bigger tables we'd like to kickstart first.[/I] Which is too bad,because if there is a Gottlieb/Premier table or two still worthy of inclusion into TPA - R911 is most definitely one of them. But I digress... During the same time period - two requests (with others posting in addition to the original post) were made for the early SS Bally table Fathom. Interestingly enough - I could only find two posts specifically asking about Freddy. One back on June 1st by forum member David Pannozzo (who also did mention Freddy during his question on Rescue 911 - great pic with him & Robert Englund,BTW) - and one on June 20th - to which the TPA FB did reply to,which you have already referenced. Now,I usually check out the TPA FB page,and I admit - I missed that post. So I freely admit I was wrong about it being highly requested - at least from what the TPA FB rep said. Having said that - outside of Mike Morse mentioning how he'd rather have Freddy every time someone mentions a table they'd like to see while downing that persons query into whatever table they are asking about doesn't make it a highly weekly requested table.IMO. Freddy isn't a favorite table of mine,I freely admit. I could come up with twenty tables off the top of my head that I'd rather have in TPA. But I haven't - and won't - crap on the people who do want it. Having said that - if it does make it in someday - then I'll be happy for the people who really wanted it.

(And I hope Stargate gets into TPA someday too) In the end - I'm just glad there is going to be a TPA Season 4. Hopefully FS can get the bugs worked out,release on the Wii U & Xboxes - and have enough quality pins in S4 to give everyone a table or two that they really want... [/QUOTE]
