Review of the four-pack
Cartoon shows result in cartoony graphics? Check.
Ball launchers detract from a table's experience? What?
Overall, overall? Man, maybe give your review a once-over before publishing instead of just doing the bare minimum for the free code because you were excited to play Archer pinball.

That's written like a 7th grade book report.

The review itself doesn't make me want to buy it or not buy it any less...but the screen shots are the most helpful and I'm just deciding if I want to go ahead and spend the $10 now or wait for a sale.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
I just tried the American Dad table. Don't really like it and yes the ball launcher is ridiculous and useless (water bottles that fill up --hilarious?). Still I bought the set because it's Zen and I have all of them (well, except SW Rebels since I still don't know what that is). $10 for four licensed tables on the Vita and PS4 is a great deal regardless.
I'll comment on the other tables when I play them (though I've never seen Bob's Burgers or Archer, so the references will be lost on me)
Now, will we get one table for The Force Awakens or will we get three????

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
The rumor is that Stern Pinball currently holds the license for Ep. 7-9. and will probably build a physical pin based on these sometime in the near future. If this is true then Stern's recently announced partnership with Pinball Arcade may roll over to the virtual table as well. Which could lock out any future PFX Star Wars tables. Maybe.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
I'm sorry, is there another use for the Vita besides pinball?
Yeah, it's fun. Doesn't look quite as good, but does look pretty good in normal horizontal orientation (You can play with the entire table displayed vertically, but it's WAY too small to see anything that way). I've passed many hours in doctors' offices and in gymnastic class waiting areas playing pinball. It's kind of the ultimate pick-up-and-play game. And with over 50 tables to pick from between tables I own on TPA and ZP2, it never gets old.

Balls of Glory is a really stupid name for the Table pack. Should have been Animation Domination.

Definitely make plans for Atlanta though. The last two shows were amazing and this year they've doubled the floor space.

Experience the action and excitement of Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ in an out-of-this-world
Star Wars™ Pinball 2-Pack! Star Wars™ Pinball: The Force Awakens™ Pack will be available on console, PC and mobile the week of January 12, 2016. To celebrate this momentous occasion, check out the trailer highlighting the brand new pack below:
Star Wars™: The Force Awakens movie. Players will team up with the Resistance and fight against the First Order alongside such heroes as Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron. It features all-new table-transforming environment mechanics that allow you to visit locations from the film and twelve action-packed story modes taking you through its most thrilling moments. Star Wars™ Pinball: The Force Awakens Table is an intergalactic adventure that no Star Wars Pinball fan will want to miss!
Pinball: Might of the First Order puts players in command of the First Order, tasked with extending its power to many planets in the galaxy. Expand its rule beyond the outposts of civilization, and enforce its will in already controlled territories!
Star Wars™ Pinball: Might of the First Order features an innovative two-level playfield where you must use the special ball-lock system on Kylo Ren’s playfield to crush the Resistance, as well as the ability to control your own Star Destroyer with the help of a special magnetic upside-down ramp!
Star Wars™ Pinball tables feature art, models, and sounds directly from the film and will be available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Mac, Windows 10, Steam, iOS, Android, and Amazon mobile devices during the week of January 12, 2016.
We are so thrilled to be working on, not one, but two pinball tables based on one of the most important movies of all time. Being part of the continuation of the beloved Star Wars saga is something we’ve all dreamed of and we are so honored to have this opportunity. Without the support of you, the player, we could not have made this possible, so thank you for your support of Star Wars Pinball.
See you on the leaderboards, and may the Force™ be with you!

Maybe we will get some Pinball FX sales next week too with this release...though it will probably just be the Star Wars ones which I think I already have.

Seven Things Not to Miss in Zen’s Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens Pack
Posted by Bobby Loertscher on Jan 05, 2016 // Community Manager, Zen Studios
Zen Studios is gearing up to release our awesome pinball table two pack based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We are tremendously thrilled to be able to work with the team at Lucasfilm on this landmark occasion. We have done a lot to ensure that there will be plenty of details from the movie as well as some great homages to real-life pinball machines that fanatical pinheads will appreciate.
At Zen, we always strive to add as much detail to our tables as we can, and we’re proud to be able to continue that tradition with our latest Star Wars tables. Here are seven things you don’t want to miss in the Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens Pack:
Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens Table
The table’s left spiral ramp was inspired by one featured on the 1992 Data East Star Wars pinball machine.
The BB-8 mini playfield went through five completely different variations before the one that made it on the table.
The table designer personally performed the pinball table’s motion capture animations for Kylo Ren and Finn!
A shot pulled from the table’s mocap sessions
Star Wars Pinball: Might of the First Order
Some missions take place on different planets and when you start them, the entire table jumps into hyperspace!
The holographic image of the Star Destroyer has some control over the table on which it appears. When it turns left or right, the planets in the background will also turn in the same direction.

The table’s spiral ramp was inspired by the classic Williams 1985 pinball machine ‘Comet’.
The mini-playfield was crafted as a combination of the upper playfield from Stern’s 1980 table ‘Flight 2000′ and the mini-playfield of Williams’ 1954 ‘Lulu’ table.
The Star Wars Pinball: The Force Awakens Pack launches on January 12 on PS3, PS4, and PS Vita for $4.99. We’ll see you on the leaderboards!
