I'm sure enough FG owners would be willing to add on a license fee to get a better playfield. I'm sure those guys have a dollar figure in mind and just need to figure out what it is. Unfortunately for games like pinball arcade I suspect they paid >$25k for Addams family license. Clearly can't afford that and perhaps why there is no FG in pinball arcade.

I have one big vote for a Mr and Ms Pacman hardtop. Every single one of these is beat to hell and bare wood in the pac maze area. Nobody has any seeming interest in making plastics or a playfield for this machine, despite the fact I am seeing units sold for $1300 recently (yes a real sale). Lots of us have love for this machine but a sad lack of parts to get them back to life.

And one more thing. There is probably some apprehension about running any playfields that CPR recently produced. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Try finding even a Skateball out there (the latest), they aren't to be found...I should know I just bought a trashed Skateball. Fathom .... ditto. Centaur .... if you didn't grab it when it got made you are outta luck. My xenon sits waiting for the boutique run of these. I'd gladly buy a hardtop to give me something before the 1+ year it will take to get CPR repro finally here. I love CPR don't get me wrong, and everything they do for the industry. BUT if you didn't have the machine sitting before you right then and there, or happened to have omniscience that several years down the line you would have the machine in your possession, good luck. I just happened to grab an eight ball deluxe so timing works out perfectly (I hope) this time. But for the rest of it I can go whistle.

My upvote for Flash Gordon should be two, not one, as I have two Flash Gordon machines I want to restore with this.

The technicalities as I understand it are licensing. So it’s not a lack of desire to make it, but people who won’t five him the right to do so. Applies to all licensed themes even 30+ years after the machines were made
