    Theme: GAME OF THRONES
    Size: Widebody
    Production: 1.000 pcs (max).
    Release: Q3 2015 (for real).
    Price: Unknown yet, but competitive.

    Manufacturer: .... (?)

    Kick-ass!!

    =======================

    I've been reading several threads and there is a lot of commenting on the behavior of the several pinball manufacturers we have in play today. Most is spoken about pricing. (pre-)payment plans, delivery dates, sneak previews, updates and so on. I'd like to hear more constructive info on the pinball creators of today by announcing a fictive theme + price + delivery as mentioned (so NO discussion about that please)...

    So, assume these SPECS ARE FIXED & REAL, which MANUFACTURER would you like to see building this machine?
    - Stern, SkitB, JJP, DP, Spooky, Planetary Pinball, Multimorphic or any other ? And why?

    The core question is therefore: "Who does making pinballs best these days"?

    No doubt about it. Stern, because they have shown they can consistently produce and release games.

    I wouldnt want any current companies to make this title, But while we are in make believe land, ill play along. Williams would have to come back into pinball manufacturing, and Brian Eddy would have to be the designer

    Very misleading thread title so TD. But I would want stern because they have a reasonable price on the Pro model and the quickest turn around.

    If this theme G.O.T.is you want. I on the other hand would go for The Evil Dead. Skit-Ball could do it justice.

    I'm not into GOT and don't generally enjoy widebodies, but I'll say Stern regardless. I know you said not to consider delivery, but it's impossible for me not to factor it in. I mean, more than half the companies you listed have yet to deliver a production game, so I can't judge their quality, only their current lack of delivery.

    I seem to have forgotten about the default negativity of some pinsiders...

    Did not intend to mislead but was hoping for some constructive thought about who could do such a theme most awesome without pagelong brand bashing comments delivery and pricing. But that seems impossible ...

    Changed the title... curious to see what happens now

    Huh?

    Edit: So you changed your quote to didn't intend to mislead now. Although your title is clearly misleading.

    Edit 2: Now fixed. No worries.

    I watch the show and find it pretty entertaining, but I don't think it would make a very good pinball theme. It's too much of a character driven soap opera and not enough of a clear cut good vs. evil battle theme that would make for good pinball action. Sure there are a few dragons and a wall and White Walkers, but the show is all about conflict, dialogue and alliances between family, etc. I don't even know who we as the pinball player would play?- Winterfell?

    This post was misleading and it hurt my feelings. I'll be expecting a refund check promptly.

    Just kidding. I agree with Pinhead87, I'd like to see Bally/Williams get back into the mix. Their games just feel right to me

    Check out the new Sterns.

    Most of the great pin designers from Williams are working there now.
