Great theme. If Stern doesn't make one, it would be a great Pinball 2000 kit game

I'd be in for one if they make it, I imagine it would be tied to the third movie, so only if that really gets made. We're probably a ways out on this one, but it's okay to dream.
Quoted from swampfire:I'm holding out for the Stanley Kubrick pins, especially A Clockwork Orange and The Shining.
I'd rather have a Full Metal Jacket pin, with R. Lee Ermey doing callouts. I can just hear it now...

That would sadly be a bummer for me. I'd like an original cast Ghostbusters. Maybe they could have an "Original Cast Retro 80's LE", LOL.

Part of me wants to get an America's Most Haunted, and replace the music with ghostbusters sound track, and put in audio clips, and replace the ghost with a slimer toy.
The Spooky boys could probably re-theme the whole game for the cost of a license, and sell hundreds more than they will of AMH, just the cold hard reality of why licenses are so powerful.
I'd love a Ghostbusters pin but can't really see that happening.
But to catch a ball in a proton beam (magnet) and have it sucked into a "trap" Sanctum-style for a ball lock would be awesome.
Quoted from ranchdrsn:I cannot begin to imagine the size of the twinkie toy in the middle of the playfield.
There can be a ramp that goes around the playfield with a twinkie graphic on the bottom.

Yup. So many people say they want a return to pins with original themes, but it seems like it just isn't practical in today's NIB market.
I saw that this morning and thought to myself..."I can't wait to see the shitstorm of threads on Pinside".
It did not disappoint

Quoted from Aurich:Ghostbusters is a great theme idea, I'd be totally down for that. Isn't there a pretty successful Ghostbusters slot? Wonder if slot themes are in any way comparable to pin themes when it comes to audience.
Lot of good humor, lots of good imagery and ideas for modes and toys, appeals to a wide audience. Gets the campy horror fans without turning off people who aren't normally into that sort of thing. I'm with Rarehero, it's fairly evergreen, and if there's an anniversary and maybe a new movie all the better.
If it coincides with a new movie, it has to have them all in it... like IJ/IJ4. Not just be focused on the new movie.

Quoted from dothedoo:How much will the machine cost?
For the machine, we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones. Four-thousand dollars for that. But we are having a special this week on the Pro or the LE upgrade, and that's only going to come to one-thousand dollars, fortunately.
Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it would be so much. I won't pay it.

Venkman: Well, that's all right, we can just not build it.
Ray: We certainly can, Dr. Venkman.
Hotel Manager: No, no, no, no! All right! I'll pay anything!
Venkman: Thanks so much.
Quoted from n0s4atu:It's the 25th anniversary of the movie, and they're going to re-release it in theaters for a short run in the fall. Probably nothing more than paying homage to a great movie and trying to keep people guessing on what's next.
No it is the 30th.
I don't think this was, in any way, a suggestion that Stern was building a GB pin. It looks like Gary has a bunch of similar pictures from some trade show he was at.

You are of course, correct, but can't you just let us dream? Not all of us have a GB pin in the house.
Quoted from flecom:10k before xmas
based on the ever increasing prices of new machines, shouldn't this be elevated to something like '12K before xmas'? 
A long time ago in a previous career I would attend and work many trade shows, and even after that short period of time I was ready to kill myself. Gary seems to love it. Go figure.
I know it's hip to hate on GBII, but I'd hope they would incorporate a few modes and lines from that movie too. A Vigo painting toy that interacts could be cool.
"On a mountain of skulls in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood. What was will be, what is will be no more. Now is the season of evil! Find me a child that I might live again!"
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:"On a mountain of skulls in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood. What was will be, what is will be no more. Now is the season of evil! Find me a child that I might live again!"
I hope that's a quote from the movie, or your neighbors should really be nervous.

Gotta have the ghost train in there too!

Quoted from hank527:I usually agree with you, but I do not think Back to the Future should be redone
A new BTTF could be incredible - the DE versions kinda blows (and it was my first pin! hehe)
With today's modern rules, they could do some really interesting and fun gameplay requiring you to jump back and forth through time, altering the timeline (and rules/modes).
Christopher Lloyd would probably do custom callouts....he just did a Doc cameo in A Million Ways to Die in the West. I wonder if MJF would finally allow his likeness to be used.
I know it'll never happen, just wishful thinking.

I heard the GB licence was up for grabs a year back, a few people told me about it, I thought it was an awesome theme but a few people I talked to about it said it was old and dead! I would love to see a GB pin made.

If the response here and on Facebook is worth anything people still love it. LEGO just did a Ecto-1 kit, they weren't too worried about it selling, it had huge fan backing.

LOL that's my friend Dan's kid....so funny how that went viral.

That's pretty much the best cosplay ever.

Didn't Harold Ramis pass away recently - seems unlikely a new movie unless they use new actors.
Think it's more likely Gary just having some fun.
Ghostbusters would be great. Good theme, music, and sounds. I could imagine great toys. It can be both funny and family friendly and would mix well in a collection with any of the other Halloween-ish or horror type pins. In an arcade I bet it would be a good money maker... Who doesn't love ghostbusters? That was 30 years ago tho... But seriously much more approachable than walking dead or game of thrones.
If JJP can do Wizard of Oz, then Stern can definitely make Ghostbusters work. It makes more sense than Mustang and if that's doing well then I guess anything is possible.
Make it happen Stern!
Quoted from sillyoldelf:Didn't Harold Ramis pass away recently - seems unlikely a new movie unless they use new actors.

Actually, the producers have stated that Harold's death has only made them more determined to press on. Harold Ramis was a believer in a 3rd movie, along with Dan Akroyd.
Quoted from underlord:Maybe this winter. But this is the season of The Walking Dead pin coming up from Stern.
Is TWD going to happen, any verification or just speculation??
Quoted from Chet:Is TWD going to happen, any verification or just speculation??
I have a good friend who works at Stern. He said it is on Sterns top list of upcoming titles and is a serious contender to be next, if not a shoe in. He's never been wrong but was the last two titles, so Gary may have been just feeding false info to throw everyone off the scent.
He's on an NDA agreement about details. So I only get snippets.

We'll tell everyone we're making Ghostbusters and get them all excited, then release Camaro!
They'll never see it coming!

The last two titles would have included Star Trek. How could he be wrong about that? It was the worst kept secret in Pinball.
