Is this table obtainable or would it be to expensive. For those that have played it lately is it worth having. It has been years since I have played.

When the recent polls were run it was included the Premium Licensed poll. This would lead me to believe that it would require a kickstarter. That would make it a bit of a long shot. But I agree, good pin with some cool things going for it. Easily one of the best Data East pins.

Thanks for the reminder, my memory sucks sometimes.
The playfield layout is almost identical to FH, and there's some nice features, such as stackable missions (and one of the [intentionally?] lamest video modes ever), though this table is one of the most infamous for scoring high by NOT doing what the table tells you to do. It's most innovative feature, a visor that goes over your flippers during certain modes, is also lame.

I think the visor is a fun gimmick. Lame? Not to me.

Love this table. The deaf dumb and blind visor mode is great. Tommy and Indiana Jones were the tables that made me fall in love with pinball. Thought I'd revive this thread considering TPA is now doing Data East tables AND Pinball Wizard was licensed in PZ. Also of note 2015 is the Who's 50th anniversary and they're touring. Hope Tommy makes a surprise (non-KICKSTARTER) appearance in TPA soon. Also of note, the movie is a Columbia pictures release, so the play the table is licensed off of may actually fall into the Sony deal Farsight has brokered. Wishful thinking, but who knows? No pun intended.

Has Farsight ever given a definitive answer if this pin would require a kickstarter? My wife and I both ran into this pin a couple times this year and we had a good time playing it. Fun modes, good sound, nice toys.

If they can get the rights to Pinball Wizard, it's definitely possible that Tommy is accessible.

It'd be nice to have a rock music table.

Push! As a Who-Fan I´m waiting for this table in vain, too.
