Quoted from Pinhead1982:So what are people thinking.. BTTF this year, or next..
Saving for BOND right now… but if BTTF is definitely coming.. might have to go BOND LE, then BTTF SLE.. but need to know
BTTF will definitely be a Kapow game.. so
2 Kapow in 1 yr… I don’t think so…
A bunch of new rumors about Bond and Jaws surfacing.. I'm still sticking with BTTF tho, regardless. I've sold 2 games already, but still plan to sell a couple more to keep BTTF's spot nice and warm with cash in hand when they do announce it. I'm a planner.. so I'd rather be ready instead of caught scrambling to sell/make room. If we have to wait another year, I'm okay with it... whatever it takes to secure the rights/assets. What we dont want is a repeat of the last BTTF. So they can take the time they need to get it right and do the theme justice. When they do, I will be here cash in hand, ready to buy. 
I believe Elwin's next game is BTTF. So whenever his next game is released is when I think BTTF is coming. I am about 75% confident. I am about 100% confident we see BTTF by 2023. Already have a savings account I opened just to start saving for it. Also thinking about what I need to sell to make room.
Also, I don't think BTTF needs to be a Kapow Premium/ LE/SLE release. They could do a standard Pro/Premium/ LE and increase the price enough to make a donation on every game sold to Parkinsons research.

Quoted from djsoup:Happy New Year Future Fans! Let's keep this hype train full speed ahead into 2022! Rumor is still August, but I'm thinking they wait until BTTF day in October. They announced Mando on May the 4th.. and the Kapow-Stern Beatles game was announced in October.. so I'm thinking the timing makes sense. Of the trilogy, #2 is my favorite.[quoted image]

Stern is doing something like that with Rush
“In memory of Neil Peart, we have also decided to support the Neil Peart Research Award sponsored by the Glioblastoma Foundation as it researches cures for this deadly brain cancer.”

Exactly!

I'm hearing we will see BTTF by January 2023. Anyone else hearing anything similar?

The “latest rumour’’ always seems to be just under 12 months away and continues to just keep that distance. I’m beginning to think it’s never going to happen and lose faith. To Stern or JJP, please make this title. I don’t care who, I just need a better version than the Data east one in my life.

It will happen. The demand for this game is overwhelming and they know it.. Stern can call up all their distributors and see exactly how many people are on an interest list.. I'm pretty confident its on the roadmap. The parts shortages and shipping issues are affecting everyone. If it gets pushed its not because they want to, but it gives more time to save up for that SLE. 
Keneda said the next game is jaws (I know who cares).
BUT what if he heard the codename jaws... which references BTTF2.
Quoted from P1nhead:Keneda said the next game is jaws (I know who cares).

That would be wild if Jaws was used twice as code for another Elwin pin...

Jaws could easily be a code name for the character from james bond (which is strongly rumored). Kaneda is an idiot.

Oh man… the GOAT designer Elwin on one of the greatest themes of all time would be epically insane. Take my money!

Don't know him... but that is a voice of reason, even if just this one time. holy crap 18k for ST LE.
Quoted from crujones4life:[quoted image]
Not so long ago he was saying no it’s never going to happen.
If you have an each way bet you’re going to be right on one of them.
I came here to drown my sorrow over the ultra lame Star Wars code update...these should help.

100% rumor 100% wishing 0% proof

Everything is just a rumor until it happens...just like always. But it's coming, rest assured. When is not known of course...but it sounds like we see it by Jan 2023. That's the current rumor.
Quoted from briyau15:In the realm of getting hyped I’m finally looking to get my BTTF USA Today newspaper framed so I can put it on the wall. Anyone else get one framed? If so, any particular place to purchase the best one?

If you want to frame it yourself Craig Frames is an excellent source for affordable custom frames to buy online. You can even order custom mattes. I've framed a lot of art with their frames, recommended! https://www.craigframes.com/picture-frames/

Yes! So awesome! Acting bug probably bit him again as he was recording callouts for Stern BTTF!

Quoted from toyotaboy:these were available at every newsstand on October 21, 2015. I'm guessing you can still find them on ebay.
Yeah, the picture I uploaded previously (with Griff) was a different version than what I was able to find at the grocery store in 2015, which was the “Youth Jailed” version. I think I read the Griff newspaper versions were very limited to certain comic cons.
However, you can find some replicas signed by Tom Wilson on eBay, which I actually just purchased as part of getting in on the hype. It’s definitely not a newspaper but has a Becket authenticated signature.
For the Youth Jailed version you can also find some online but don’t think I’ve seen a signed one offered for sale.

Ah, I didn't notice it was the changed newspaper version.

Not too shabby! So what’s the current intel? Do we realistically expect a BTTF to be announced and released this year or would it come after Venom/Bond/Jaws?
Stern’s cornerstone is set for August but BTTF doesn’t qualify as a cornerstone? Is that because it would be a re-make of a Data East? Was Jurassic Park a cornerstone?
