[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 89732, member: 1046"] I think brakel was just trying to be nice, loafer. You're talking about two separate issues here, and a table's age has little to nothing to do with it.. Licensing can be an expensive hurdle on both old and new tables, and the price of an older collector table can be just as high as a newer one. And I'm willing to bet an older table takes FS just as much time and effort to recreate as a DMD one. They've stated that they don't cut corners, they don't re-use assets from PHoF, and even if an old EM or alphanumeric is seemingly less complex than a DMD machine, attention to minor details becomes even more important with less cluttered playfields. So no, older tables are not necessarily less expensive, less time-consuming, or less challenging than new ones. That being said, I prefer an even mix of both old and new, and since FS has stated that we should be getting four seasons, I think they will continue releasing 2-table packs almost every month (except for Kickstarter premium tables). Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to set season pass prices ahead of time. And at this point, I think it's clear that FS likes to pair old and new designs to maintain variety whenever they can.
