Now everyone says that getting the rights from Disney for Star Wars or Indiana Jones would be difficult. But I don't buy that. They make so much merchandise they have their own stores at malls.

Now for Star Wars there is the Zen issue to worry about but I don't think they ever did Indiana Jones.

Aside from Indiana my money is on either the Simpsons, The Lord of the rings, or Jurassic Park.

Addams Family? Yeah I don't see that happening as the very next one.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

forget all disney tables and LOTR as there are still movies coming out. The question is what liscense should FS use to obtain one of these tables since they are limited.
My vote Dr.Who! longest running Sci-Fi show ever and is really catching like wildfire in the US.

 

[Bowflex]

They basically said most of the top ten will not be coming out. Zen has no bearing on anything but they did state they are not getting a call back from Disney on anything. Dr who and gnr are both slim to none chances from direct comments by farsight. They also said Lotr won't be happening. Bttf won't happen anytime soon and they are not find of it. Simpsons is what they really need to go after along with shadow. They've also said tommy is the one music table that might not be too expensive.

Where did they say all this?

 

[PoSTedUP]

i hope youre right with Jurassic Park, ugh i would kill to see that table as the next one (besides Twister, addams family and goldeneye). family guy and simpsons would be total fun, too.

 

[Nightwing]

Where did they say all this?

Mostly on their FB page.

Also I completely agree - TSPP & The Shadow are most likely your best bets for anything in the Top 10, unless Disney finally responds to FS about the tables that they (Disney) now owns...

 

[pm1109]

So unlikely to get anything in the top ten.And Farsight have said that Season 3 will be the best Season yet.Even surpassing Season 1.Cant see that happening if we get nothing in the top ten kickstarter polls.

 

[Espy]

Why wasn't Addams in the poll?

I played TSPP for the first time this weekend and I wouldn't mind seeing that one in there

If we can't get addams than TSPP will be the next best thing

They have also said that Elvis is a possibility.

Because of the well known efforts underway already to get Addams family. They are already doing everything they can to get it so no point in voting on it.

 

[Naildriver74]

Hope they will look into Tommy just to see.

Elvis is a really fun table! I hope they consider the doable tables beyond the top 10 since most of those are out. Congo, demolition man and Johnny mnemonic are also fantastic.

 

[Bonzo]

Hippos!




...and driveway cheese of course.

A music shop near me has one. Should I check it out? No interest in Elvis at all, but does the pin hold up?

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised! Not going to say it is in the top 10 ever but it was a solid game that was very fun. Especially if there aren't other pins around your area. You won't likely walk away saying "I just wasted 50 cents" and even if you do it's just 50 cents. I actually like Elvis a bit but the theme was kind of a turn off and I ignored the table for a couple years until the Simpson was in too poor condition so I tried the only other table in my area. Did not regret it.

I'm lucky enough to have around 10 in my area... if it was the only one I would definitely have played it already!

Since there are groups of tables owned by the same company, would it be possible for FarSight to strike a blanket licensing deal with a company, allowing for all the tables under that particular studio to be added to TPA?

Even if they could (which I doubt the studios would go for) they would still have to get separate licensing for actor likenesses, any voice work, and any copy righted music.

 

[superballs]

I sure hope they strike a blanket deal with Other/Misc, that would be sweet

BBC doesn't really sound like a blanket deal, but just a deal.
