I'd buy "A Christmas Story" Pin. I love the holiday season and this has become such a pop culture classic that I could handle it being in the line up all year long. So much fun stuff could be in it. Like a F-U-D-G-E (5) bank drop targets / a Red Rider BB Gun toy (like twds crossbow) to shoot Black Bart targets / a flag pole magnet / A Scott Fargus Bash Toy / Christmas Morning Multiball and so much more!!! ME: "Ok Santa, this is officially on my Christmas wish list for 2021!", SANTA: "You'll shoot your eye out kid."

I could definitely see modern pinball picking up on this Christmas story.

With a BB gun cannon, and you have to knock down an eye target for the skill shot.

I think it’s a great theme for a pin in almost every respect. The only downside is the obvious, which is it’s so seasonal.

They could hide an Easter egg where the screen plays the movie for 24hrs straight starting the evening of 12/24!

“It’s a clunker” but I’d be on board for this classic. Can’t see this being a bad theme at all

I would buy that for sure! I'd also buy a Vacation pinball which could including Christmas Vacation.

That would be a cool pin if done right. If you're ever in Cleveland check out the Christmas Story house. It where some scenes were filmed and you can wear the "pink nightmare" bunny suit and do a lot more. Highlight of my trip there, better than the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Meh. I love ACS, but I think Elf has recently eclipsed A Christmas Story as the favored movie for this time of the year. An Elf pin would be pretty great, and would be a year-round earner on location rather than a holiday draw.

"Fa Ra Ra Ra Raa Ra Ra Ra REPRAY!" I'd also love to see that meat cleaver come down and chop the ducks head off with the match knocker.

"ELF" is to Christmas movies as "El Toro" is to pinball.

Pretty sure Christmas Vacation holds the top spot for most aired and viewed holiday program annually for the last several years.
