  I think as long as Stern continues making movie, comic book, and music themed pinball machines, there won't be any re-makes or re-imagined classic Sterns. I would love to play the Haggis Fathom machine one day. Stern Beatles and Spooky Total Nuclear Annihilation are on my short list of pins I hope to be able to purchase eventually.

  How would people have reacted if this was a Quicksilver like reimagining similar to Beatles One of the huge whiner talking points on beatles was that it’s “only a reskin!” So it would be dozens of pages of that.

  Assuming this game with ALL of the Bonds and the Beatles are by far the most expensive themes ever, I wonder what it comes down to on a per game basis? Stern and the distributors are certainly making their share here, but how much is the licensor raking in? I assume it is somewhere between a big and a huge cut of the profit. One thing for sure is the license holder is the one truly making the easy money here.

  Use whatever expression you want, but my point is that Foo Fighter’s music is somewhat bland, paint by numbers rock for the masses. You can disagree and that’s totally fine. I say that because I've seen "Dad rock" thrown around for any of Stern's music pin releases. For example, The Beatles are called "Dad rock" even though they transcend generations and will still be played for hundreds of years after all current Dads are long gone.

  It seems like Stern is willing to hitch a ride on other licenses to save monies. Kapow with all the slot licenses comes to mind(Beatles,BM66,007). Ford actually paying Stern. Lego BTTF would be another way to do the game with a cheaper piggy back license. Please Stern-no Lego BTTF combo(Batman lego is better anyway) Also I prefer Hot and Sour soup over Egg Drop

  ... much meat is left on the Goose bone. All good points, but not sure Stern and JJP are still in the process of killing the golden goose. All the pinball enthusiasts I know, ... far between, but get a lot of press in the minds of Stern and JJP, so they price their products posing as the scalpers themselves. Maybe they want to cut production ... runs and demands to a small snail crawl? Distributors are going to suffer, just like they’re are doing with Beatles ...
