    I love the JJP games. But - GnR is either you like the band or don't. If you don't, will be tough to have in your collection. Pirates.. killed it. WOZ.. its a classic, but can still be a little meh. Dialed in? Family didn't like the theme at all but lots of people rave about it. Willy.. can tolerate it, not the strongest theme. So whats next? Toy Story? Really? Muppets? What? When I played Hot Wheels the testosterone was sucked out of my body as I played it. And yes.. we have TMNT but its not for the theme.. its for the coop, 2v2, and play. Maybe there's hope.. if its done well, maybe theme won't matter. Crossing my fingers. I do support a more "adult" theme though.

    I posted this over a year ago; I talked to Jack when I bought an arcade from him, and to his word, he said Wonka next, then GnR, then Toy Story; this was like 2 years ago; no reason to not believe him as he's been on the money with that call.
    I cannot wait for Toy Story...Day 1 LE Buy for me.

    Your LE toy story will look great next to your HWs pin. next up.. Barbie!

    Says the guy with TMNT in his profile pic...What are you an 8 year old trapped in 1989??

    Funny you should mention that. The theme is NOT why we have that game. The 2v2, final battle, co-op, half shell challenge, continuously updated code, 3 flippers, nice multiball integration (pizza, turtle power, neutrino, team up), 3 ramps, spinning disk, etc... and hot wheels has.. a ramp, and a car spinning around on a stick. Now toy story, or he-man, my lil pony, blues clues, dora the explorer, Gi Joe, insert whatever other kids theme here . Notice how the adult themed pins are crushing the others? Maybe take note? Even with fat Axl, id take GnR all day before another reach into the childhood of the mid 40 to 60 somethings with buying power. We are begging for adult pins. Let's see.. 1989.. I would have been 15. Probably over most of the themes mentioned.. but why not.. im sure buying a mustang and playing toy story (that was NOT part of my childhood) could round out a good mid life crisis. Hell.. maybe I'll finally get around to joining Facebook and trying to find divorced ex gfs.. You know I have nothing but love for you right..?

    You are saying don't mind the theme of TMNT, look at the gameplay...It's exactly what I would tell you with Hot Wheels, the gameplay is smokin...Not sure if you haven't played one yet, it sounds like you haven't. But it's fast and fun, easy ruleset, but nice depth, risk and reward, feels like a 90's B/W.

    We played it. I just don't think I gave it enough chance. Seems a little lacking on toys though? Does look fast..

    I won't say that toy story wouldn't be ok as a theme, but can't help but think what IF Sterns TMNT was a different theme but same game. I ignored it when it came out because of the theme. Its grown on me. My kids watched it when they were little. Adult theme.. let's see. GTA.. um no. But Borderlands, COD, For Honor, or something along those lines? Mad Max, a war based game (military) old school like WW2 - Dunkirk, platoon, band of brothers. What if hot wheels was gran turismo or need for speed. Im not talking leisure suite Larry. Im sure there are a ton of ideas that don't involve babysitting, grandma, alcoholism, and sad repetitive lives.. just thoughts.
