[QUOTE="JJH516, post: 192352, member: 4509"] I disagree with those statements. [B]First off[/B], whenever I've asked about TSPP, the response I got was more or less: It's not a matter of [I]IF[/I], but [I]WHEN[/I] the table is Kickstarted, as well as that it's 99.9% going to be the next one they're going to do. Plus, they said it would [I]NOT[/I] be as expensive as TAF. [B]Secondly[/B], if you think there's not a [I]nostalgia pull[/I] for the table, than you're sadly mistaken. Just check any table poll that's been taken with TSPP as a choice. It's not only won nearly every single one of those polls, but if it somehow didn't mange to win, it was either an extremely close second or tied with the winner. Also, after TAF, TSPP is without a doubt the most requested table. It's constantly getting requested year after year, month after month, week after week. I'd say when you combine all that information, it's pretty clear that people want it and there's an extreme demand for it. Now, in regards to the Data East version, that's a whole different story. I still think the table would sell pretty good, because most people love The Simpsons and the brand is a proven winner, but the table itself is obviously not nearly as fun as TSPP. The bottom line is that The Simpsons brand sells itself. It's still going strong to this day. I think of the brand like KISS, and what they've managed to do with their merchandise. [B]Lastly[/B], how many years in a row have people said [I]I'M DONE WITH THIS, I'M NOT DONATING ANYMORE TO THESE KICKSTARTERS!!![/I], and yet, those same people end up donating. If they somehow are not, no matter, the Kickstarters continue to be successful with or without them. :p At least that's my take on it. I guess we'll find out next season, when I fully expect TSPP to be announced as the next KS. I don't disagree that the KS campaigns are poorly run, but I honestly don't believe that the people who threaten to stop donating actually do so. I think they care about the pinball tables way too much. Again, just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
