[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 164116, member: 3746"] Elvira is by a large margin a less lucrative figure than Freddy Krueger is (that's what I think at least based on my observations of the convention circuit). Robert Englund has a very heavy resume compared to Cassandra Peterson. Cassandra Peterson likes to self-promote the Elvira brand and was reportedly a fan of pinball too so I'm sure that helps the final price. Still, you never know. Things have been very quiet on the Nightmare on Elm Street front of late; I doubt a franchise which peaked 30 years ago is *that* expensive. Stuff like this keeps the "Freddy" name out there after all. If BSD really is the next table, they would've had to pay Gary Oldman and I can't see Robert Englund being *that* much different. So you never know. Of course, the other knock on Freddy is that it's a Gottlieb which some people automatically hate on for some reason. There may still be a few obtainable licenses in the DMD Bally / Williams realm that may be preferred (one that comes to mind is Judge Dredd for instance, that gets requested a fair bit from what I see and I can't see that one being *terribly* pricey either. Same for Indy 500 and No Fear although I don't see those requested as much.). [/QUOTE]
