I’m excited for toy story but not the price.

I'm pretty sure this will be the case.

Toy Story would be interesting

I hope so.

Toy Story? Good Grief....let's get some real themes going here.....UGH!

We might just need a SNOWFLAKES Pinball Machine....with a safe space, college university where you can earn worthless college degrees like Female Gender Studies, Starbucks where you can buy a Unicorn Frap and more!

SMH!

At least with the new PoTC....you'll be able to retheme it into a Christoper Columbus Pinball Machine!

The only problem with it being Toy Story is the movie isn't supposed to drop until June 21, 2019. I think Toy Story is coming but it seems like there's a possibility another Lawlor original could drop in between POTC and Toy Story just to bridge that gap and get us another title announcement / release before the end of next year.

Toy Story is an amazing theme to gain traction with a younger audiences since Toy Story 1 was released more than 22 years ago. I can't wait for it because I know my kids will be more into pinball and that to me is important.

JJP will certainly deliver on a Toy Story theme. Nobody else will capture and maximize the potential of that theme any better.

le will be 10500 by then good grief , but a killer theme for the
younger generation

I struggle to think of a worse theme than toy story. Zero interest here, but I'm sure others disagree.

Jeez man, relax.

Also, Columbus was a really shitty person. Probably in the top 15 shittiest people of all time, what with all of the selling 10 year old girls into sex slave trade, enslaving indigenous people for personal gain and gold, cutting off their hands or ears or noses if they didn't meet his gold quota, introducing horrible diseases that killed off millions of people, and literally never landing on what would be United States soil.

Toy Story would be a terrible theme. Come on JJP if you want to do an animated theme "The Nightmare Before Christmas" by far is the best choice.

Can you go SYH somewhere else? You don't have to like Disney themes, but no need to shower the rest of us in your angst and bile. We're talking pinball here, not culture-wars conspiracy babble.

I'm 100% certain this is just a troll who hasn't been noticed by mods yet.

Would be refreshing to see a themed game come out BEFORE the franchise is irrelevant!

Kidding!

Lol....A "Safe Space" Pinball would probably be a great idea these days...I'm not touching the rest of your comment lol

Yay!!! It will save for 1.5years for toy story.

I just bought the trilogy on blu Ray

I can only imagine how much awesomeness the playfield would be with JJP making it.

I swear. Seeing POTC makes me want to sell my swle now

Heck. Even hacking my snes classic and putting toy story on it was great.

For what it's worth NEXT SUMMER 2018 is when Toy Story Land will open up in Disney World.... If anything they would want it out before the movie to promote it. I can see this hitting next summer for sure.

So I take it you choose to celebrate "Indigenous People Day" instead of "Columbus Day."

Toy Story is a Pat game - hope it's narrow body.

You're not being fair! Stern would totally buy some bootleg Toy Story toys on Ali Baba and randomly affix them to the playfield.

I'm wondering if they are actually hurting themselves by waiting to make this "big deal" out of the reveal. Case in point:

Pinball player Joe wants to buy a new machine. He has enough money for a new in box game. Sees Stern come out with a new Star Wars game, but wonders what JJP will release for game #4. Gets tired of waiting, buys SW. PotC comes out, Joe no longer has the funds to purchase it.

If JJP comes out today and tells me Toy Story is game #5, with Pat designing it, I will start saving up for that game and THAT GAME only. No other game will threaten my wallet! But if they wait, and something else comes along, I might be tempted to buy that game instead of JJP #5.

I cannot begin to describe how I wish I hadn't read that comment. 22 years. Wow. Time flies when you're having fun.

I agree though. The toy story theme has me very excited as well.

Haha, yea, I try to spread the Columbus truth when I can. Sorry. Didn't mean to feed the trolls or derail things...

Alas. While I'm not personally interested in a Toy Story theme, I think it'd still hold incredible value in arcades and collections. Toy Story has successfully become a franchise that has transcended generations.

I agree if JJP says #5 is Toy Story by Pat I will give my deposit for CE NOW!

I get your eagerness to know, but JJP's own history has proven that the smart business decision is to announce the game when it's near final. Gives less time for everyone to nit pick the design, grow less excited with the theme, and get cold feet about ordering (see Hobbit). They handled the DI announcement similar to the Pirates announcement and that seemed to work out OK for them. I'm thinking this will be their approach going forward.

Oh, I'm torn on this one.

I'd love a Toy Story....
and A Nightmare Before Christmas too!

I'm actually saving now for JJP#5. Pirates is gorgeous and I want it crazy bad, but the math on the money just isn't there for me right now. But it can be by JJP5. Hoping for a widebody Toystory!

But that wouldn't be me. I don't get the interest in this theme just as I didn't get Wizard of Oz when that came out. Maybe we will soon see a Pocahontas or a Casablanca next.

You already have a NBC, stop being selfish!

Toy story is next pin I'll be in on ce myself

What he said. Your opinion is now tainted

What's funny is that this being POTC has cemented everyone's belief that the next game is Toy Story (perhaps Muppets?).

If it ends up not being Toy Story minds are going to be blown at the next reveal regardless of what the game looks like

I hope not, I was hoping the bad themes would end at woz and dialed in, would be a good game for kids, but a 10k game isnt for kids, maybe a stern pro.

Who the hell above 5 years old wants a Toy Story pinball machine? Seriously?

JJP has got to be loving the Disney themes. Puts Disney on the hook for probably close to 100 machines to put in all their theme parks and resorts.

I’m in the same boat as u. Also add I only have room for 1 more game. I would want TS in CE but even at $16k cnd. I would have to really think about it. If the cnd goes up. Then it becomes and easy yes. But at the same time. If the cnd drops. Then the LE is realistically all I can afford

Toy Story was the first movie that my wife and I saw when we started dating and our son will be going out on Halloween this year dressed as Woody.

Aside from a few, Pixar movies have great stories and enjoyable moments for both kids as well as adults, nevermind the fact that they're all animated. I've always been big into animation and appreciate the detail that Pixar puts into their movies, right down to the woodgrain, nail heads and scuff marks in the baseboards in Andy's room. Amazing!

Also bear in mind that almost all of the toys in Toy Story are from generations that grew up before the 90s.

It's more than just a theme for 5 year olds.

*sheepishly raises hand*

Wow.. some people really hate Toy Story... and college.

Its its a classic theme but too classic, I know alot of people were wondering "what they were thinking" when they announced it..

Actually if you search on here, think after wwe, voted the worst theme in the past 10yrs in a poll on pinside lol.

I for one am glad JJP doesn't make all their decisions based off the desires of Pinside.

Ditto. Look at all the people hating on a potc theme. Where are they all now? Potc blew the doors off. Woz as a theme is timeless in most people's minds, and I believe the fact that it's still selling and is a masterpiece prove that theme doesn't make a machine. DI anyone? Toy story is an all time classic franchise, and many of us with disposable money will back that up with our wallets. Jjp has picked great themes, and even surprised us with a kooky original theme. Jjp is picking up major steam people, and we're all benefiting from the many great choices these days.

Wish I knew where they hide all their pins. Only have the old IJA at the Anaheim resorts. Maybe they have more arcade and pin space in Florida...

Start saving for Toy Story then.

I think they hit the sweet spot in pricing. I have a feeling they won't up the price on Toy Story.

Do I like the price? Hell no... but I think I'm going to pull the trigger on an LE. I think lots of people are in the same rocking boat.
