For me a theme is very important for a pin. I must like the theme or a pin has no staying power.

I hope WOZ will be good. but I am buying an AC/DC. I am a big AC/DC fan and I am a SR fan. So this game was shouting my name "Heiko, Heiko ...buy me!" ^^

I heard the music from the WOZ pin and liked it. The music is realy great. But everytime I see the red slippers on the flippers I think bäääääh. Believe me I wanted to like the theme, I even watched the movie again but could not stand the munchkins.
Perhaps it's because I am german but the WOZ story does nothing for me. "There is no place like home. " We have here a word for it: "Kitsch". The british people have their Alice in Wonderland. You americans have your Dorothy. But both themes do nothing for me. I could feel no magic in the WOZ theme. I think it is outdated. I liked how the Wizard of Oz mutates to ZARDOZ in the SciFi movie with Sean Connery. And I would find a pinball of this movie better. I hated the WOZ encounter in World of Warcraft, could find nothing funny in it. But look at the great musical "Wicked". Today the wicked witch must be the hero if you want to do a good story.
"Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore." Times just have changed.

AC/DC on the other side, themewise is cool and a hit because it must not be transported to the new times to stay cool. AC/DC could be AC/DC and they will never age for me. They are Rock N Roll. they stay young.

So I pass on this pin and wait for their next.
