Quoted from jimjim66:I talked to Gene when he reacquired the the license 3-4 years ago. From what I gathered from him, it was not as cost prohibitive as people make it out to be.
Plus every other part has been remade already, so I wouldn't think that would be a barrier.
One problem right there
Gene never paid the license fees and upset universal with those nude creature playfields that were not approved.
Universal are easy to deal with, so I see no problem there....
