Quoted from StupidJackpot:I would really like to see chicago start a line of remakes based on William's system 11 pins that are getting harder to find in pristine condition. I have argued in the past that they would not be able to sell remakes of pins that regularly go on the market for less than 4k, but seeing collector quality fish tales, t2, and getaways sold to a niche, HUO environment for 6-7k would be awesome.
Skipping on LE models would cheapen the r&d cost associated with reproduction and, I believe, allow them to pump them out at a faster clip than the higher end remakes they already have accomplished. They might be able to release one or two of these pins in smaller, limited batches, per cycle of bigger ticket bbbr, ccr pin.
My dream would be F14 Tomcat remake.
So... I'm not an insider. I don't know anyone personally. But, I did have due to a snafu two people from CGC come to my house and set up my MBR LE personally.
I talked to them and I was purposely vague with my questions so not to anger them, and also because I figured they could actually answer a vague question more than a specific one.
I don't think they will remake non-DMD games. Mainly because I think they don't see a desire. Look at how they handled the DMD for all their remakes. Colored and dots improved.
Also, for 2 of the 3 much bigger screens. I believe an add on or extra for MMr will be coming out or is out, but they can't sell it directly because they don't want to anger the original LE buyers(Which is silly, but props for wanting to have integrity).
I wold love a new funhouse, . And I'm a huge fan of swords of fury... That would be cool, and a remake of Elvira and The Party Monsters would be really cool as well... But... again... They said not going to happen... Or if it would happen the games would have a dmd... Which all I can think of is Bride of Pinbot 2.0 which I thought was blasphemy.... My thoughts... No one elses.
Now... For my wish list... Honestly... I'm open to Cactus Canyon, BBB, TOTAN, TOM, and Scared Stiff... My only regret... I don't hav enough money for them all...
Hell, I really want an Attack From Mars, but just don't have the coin for one right now...
Too many great pins, not enough money... And sadly even less space in my house.
Forgot to say... I would love a Creature remake as well... That one isn't too far fetched... Even though lately it seems like the current market value of creature might not be high enough to warrant their interest. But, MAN right next to my MBr LE a creature would look amazing, and Creature is a top 10 favorite pin of mine.
