I realized I have many more ideas and questions about this, so I'll open it up here.

there really isn't a con.

The pro is, that lucas no longer owns it, and can't screw it up anymore.

the other pro is that it can't get worse so everything from here out has to be an improvement.

I think the ridiculous amount of money for the license these days would leave about $12 for development and everything on the playfield.

Yeah I realized I had more thoughts about the license issues in particular. Does anybody have any knowledge what percent or up front dollar amount any currently made pins had to dish out to a studio to slap their characters on it? I'm not sure how that typically works with manufacturers, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be made public knowledge.

Sounds like Stern will be doing it then.
