Sorry all - yawn - I like Queen but another music pin from a band that hits a certain age group who has money.

If anything is getting played in the pinball world it is the pinpoint targeting of a demographic that has money to spend on bands from yester-year.

I hate to say it the only company who likely can afford the license would be Stern and they can find a way to ruin a theme faster than anyone. I don't see any of the Stern titles lately being bolt to the floor stuff. I see huge hype of a pin like Led Zeppelin as an example of how to be super in demand and then just fall into normal everyday stuff. All the music pins have some limitations (limited appeal, limited license, etc.) and when compared to JJP GNR on what they can do (like GNR or not) it is hard to say anyone can get the kind of cooperation from a band like they did. Do you really think someone can afford Queen's license to do it right?

I think the best plan for CCG is to stick to solid remakes and maybe an original title with an experienced designer. Sure Queen the theme would be good but come on they will limit songs and honestly I am not looking for a jukebox pinball like they say Led Zeppelin is supposedly (not played it - not a huge fan of the band so won't own it, I think it is ugly too).

Everyone has a dream theme and a company who should manufacture it. I don't think you would want CCG have their first original pinball a licensed music theme.
