And in case you don’t know what company I prefer I’ll spam post my love affair for beautifully overpriced and boring Pinball’s on each perspective thread!!

I need to know if this is happening... the only theme I would drop GNR LE for, and sell another game to get the SLE...

Stern/Kapow need to do it right..

Dont worry about him. I deal with people like him at car cruise ins all the time. Old people that think they know everything and are so high and mighty and their opinion carries weight like gold.

Truth is, he is the 1% that act like negative nancies when a DeLorean steals any cruise in it goes to. Just ignore him like I would at a cruise in. I think theres a list for that.

Think about how busy Old Man "Otis" Peabody's farm was to be able to supply all that meat to the McDonald's.

All signs are pointing towards a Stern Kapow for BTTF. Very interesting.

Do tell...

Just based on all the info I have read over the past month, it seems like a BTTF Kapow is a strong possibility. I could definitely be wrong, just like everyone else.

And I've been dealing with holier than thou assholes younger and older that don't respect other's opinions all my life. At least as long as I have been fixing their shit boxes that for some reason they can't work on themselves. Mostly, it just comes down to they are real cheap with a big attitude. And believe their car can somehow compensate for some other shortcoming they have.

BTTF Kapow by Stern, and George Gómez will be on it. SLE here I come!!!

they are teasing it so much that it feels like it isn’t next

What’s going on here????? Where is the “hype”? Lol

Looks great!!

I have that bttf / dr who woot shirt

there are SO many bttf references in pop culture it isn't funny

I bought the Doc and marty figures recently that are pretty cool (they were $30 a few weeks ago, I see they are going up in price)

Probably my favorite is the USA today newspaper from october 22nd, 2015 that I bought in person at an airport (because I was traveling for work) and did my best to keep it from creasing. I really need to get it framed.

I heard that Stern has a Back to the Future -playfield ready. Then again, it might instead be playfield for Jaws or Bond or something else. Who knows with those generic layouts which only will be customized with different print graphics...

there's hype in the existing data east thread. I don't know how Stern could be producing that if Borg posted on his facebook page, and kaminkow "let it slip" on a podcast

All I know is im seeing BTTF everywhere at the moment - movie replays on pay tv, documentaries, figurines etc, it seems like the floodgates have opened with the branding and licensing. It would have to be one of the hottest licenses not yet tackled by a modern pinball company. Rumour has it there may be a teaser Friday, but we will see. If its Godzilla I will be pissed, lol !!

Yes, it would be awesome to have a good BTTF pinball. the one that exists kinda sucks donkey balls. And I hope Stern ends up making, since I have yet to find a JJP game that i'm super crazy about. They go so overboard with the rules, it makes it unfun. Plus, Jack doesn't seem to know how to light up a playfield, since the GI's are barely functioning. You think he would have learned his lesson from WOZ, yet GNR is just as dark and shitty lighting like WOZ was. Hopefully he learns before closing the doors.

Yeah, I am a bit the same about JJP doing this theme. I feel that with Stern you will get a fun shooter that will make the majority of people happy at a reasonable price, but with JJP you will get something for the minority and at a huge price. With Stern we may also see it in the near future, with JJP who knows. Just give me a fun BTTF with modern tech and some good call outs and I will be happy!

Pretty sure that was a joke?

why.. do..they..keep.. TEASING US?!!

Don’t think BTTF is a joke, think the joke was about the pinball machine coming with a chunk of a Delorean

I'm all for a new & better BTTF game. depends on who's making it.

The rumor is Brian Eddy is doing BTTF2.

Should be an announcement or teaser any week now...

I can give you a chunck of delorean with the next machine I sell. I just got done putting in new Headlight brackets in mine. I'll include a set of very used delorean brackets with my next game sale.

I like Stern, and I love BTTF as a theme, but I always try to temper expectations when a dream theme is made.

I would like Eddy on it...he would bring in some cool mechs for sure.

I've always loved the theme but the Data East game is such a total turd. Really feel like stern will cheap out on this but will reserve judgment until when and if it actually comes to fruition. I will definitely be thrilled regardless though if it is reborn we need more pins like this instead of every rock band.

I’d say this is probably the case! Him doing call outs..

Is there any validation to this or is this just purely speculation I assumed it was Godzilla coming up next

I'm hoping for BTTF 1st but it definitely seems like BTTF and Godzilla are coming this year. Someone mentioned Stern sends distros notice of what designer is up next (it's Eddy). Elwin supposedly has Godzilla and it's not his turn to release a pin.

So Stern officially holds the BTTF License ?

Sorry if it's already been pointed out, but worth noting that Don Fullilove is on Cameo... so it's entirely possible TWIP paid him a hundred bucks just to feed into rumors/get more views.

Here's the link, if you want to have him wish a friend a happy birthday or something:

https://www.cameo.com/dfullilove?qid=1617056460

good catch. hahah thats a great troll by twip.

You could see that EVERY film guest they had on was a cameo (the logo is clearly seen). Doesn't make it any less true, but yea.. you just don't know if Stern is messing with us, but the rumor has been really strong lately so people have seen "something" in the works.

That would be awesome! I'll be all over an LE if this is true, would look awesome next to Ghostbusters.

Cameo.

Where you pay a C-list celeb money and give him or her a script to say exactly what you tell them to say.

I could pay Biff $150 or "Guy who played the Principal and called everybody a slacker" $50 right now to say "wow can't wait for the upcoming JJP masterpiece BTTF!" and he'd do it, just like the proud boys got Bret Farve to say some white power shit and he didn't even realize it. It wouldn't mean the actor knows what "JJP" means, just that they have paypal and were happy to take the gig.

I guess what I'm trying to say is maybe don't take these clips so seriously.
