Turtles as a cartoon came out when I was 16. Obviously it landed in a lot more people here's age bracket at the time. Personally, I've had zero interest in that theme since that time, if anything I was far more interested in MTV at the time, not that I've bought any rock themed pins of the era either. Always thought the first Turtles machine was enough to cover it. Obviously there's a hardcore fan base that demanded it though. I am ready though for a JAWS machine though that's for sure. In fairness I'm sure in passing I'll put a coin or two into TMNT when I see it at a venue, but that's it. As an aside, my Mrs already considers collecting pins a bit of an immature pursuit, so I can only imagine what she'd say if a TNMT turned up in my games room! I'm just waiting for the comments when R&M turns up, despite how totally adult a cartoon it is.

Quoted from hocuslocus:

I can understand people not wanting to buy a game for their house (based on theme), but to hate a game just based on the theme alone I'll never understand.

I don't understand how you can be that nonplussed by a machine's theme. Even generic themes can have their limits. I bought a Dialed In because everyone said it was a must buy but after 5 months I could hadn't the theme any longer, it was getting on my nerves. I'll certainly never buy a rock theme Stern that's theme I'm not into. AC/DC is the only one that holds meaning to me and I've still not bought one yet. But played IM, thought it played well, artwork was top notch, but I stopped liking IM when I was like 10, so no interest in owning that theme. On the other hand I wanted GOTG to be great as I love the theme, but it was a dog IMHO so I didn't order one. Same with Stranger Things. Theme won't sell me a pin alone, but it gets a foot in the door over a theme that has zero appeal.

Interesting to note TWIP's recent poll on most important factors in buying a new pin. Funny how theme comes in as 2nd most important aspect after gameplay..
