Stubborn could make the Munsters a better game than the Addams family
Quoted from Banker:That’s what happens when you’re riding in the car and Siri is dictating
Haha....so true!
Can’t wait to see and hear about this game. Could be such a cool title, so hopefully Stern throws a ton into it like IMDN.
Quoted from MattElder:Can’t wait to see and hear about this game. Could be such a cool title, so hopefully Stern throws a ton into it like IMDN.
Amen! Borg has supposedly said that this is going to be his best design ever. I hope he is right because that would be nothing but great news for us, because his games are already awesome.

Maybe when they see how well a game sells when you put some love into it like IMDN, really hope it turns out good cause I was ready to buy an IMDN, and figure I will wait and see how Munsters turns out.

My thoughts exactly, but Stern is hit and miss. The passion and talent is there, and Gary of course knows good games sell well, but it just seems like luck of the draw as far as which designer and game gets more software time and BOM money. Munsters has been a theme I’ve wanted for a long time, so I’m hoping for the best!

It's not just software time, but design time for new playfield layouts, too. Borg has recycled and mirrored essentially the same layouts for about 10 years now. That's very little PF design work and a lot of "same-y" pins. He and the other designers need time to actually work on significantly new layouts instead of just reskinning or mirroring existing playfield layouts.
At least Trudeau was always trying new designs at every outing. He had more failures than success as a result, but he was always pushing things and more successfully achieved the "world under glass" ideal more often. If only he wasn't a pedophile...
Would be nice if it had more than 2 flippers as well.
Seeing Spot the dragon coming out of the stairs would also be a nice touch.

Hah! Great minds think alike. I told Borg that staircase ramp had better have a trap door.

3 or 4 flippers would definitely be nice. Maiden with its 4 flippers was definitely a breath of fresh air and made people get excited about pinball again.
Quoted from PinMonk:Hah! Great minds think alike. I told Borg that staircase ramp had better have a trap door.
Haha, great work....let's see what he does
If this game is made, Im ALL in. Absolutely love the Munsters and try to collect as much Munsters stuff as I can.
Its cool to see actual set photos from he show in full color. To save money and time they didn't put makup on the actors arms or hands for the TV series. For some color promotional stills and the Munsters movies they did the full makeup but not for the TV show.
When View-Master produced a set based on a TV show the View-Master photographer would be on set during the filming of the episode to capture the shots during production of the episode. If you look at the color scenes shot on set from the Munsters View-Master set you can see what they looked like in color. Its odd to see the hands and arms without makeup compared to their faces.
Really looking forward to see what Stern does with this license.

Ha! My thoughts exactly. Leave It To Beaver is coming up soon.

Thats not what im hearing
Quoted from Who-Dey:Thats not what im hearing
Most people are speculating Deadpool in a couple of weeks, Munsters Q4 2018 (maybe at expo) and Beatles in Q1 2019.

Yep thats what ive heard as well.

Pretty much ditto on Deadpool and Munsters, with Elvira as 1st quarter of 2019. Beatles could maybe change the equation for Elvira. Don't know. Elvira is a done deal per Casandra Peterson..... Just a question of release. She was thinking late this year or early next year.
Don't know how or when Beatles would fit in the release schedule.... Maybe Q2 2019 ....
Anyway get Deadpool out there so we can get closer to the Munsters !
Franchi, Borg and Dwight doing the Munsters by the sounds of it.
Franchi said on TWIP that Borg & Dwight is working with him on his upcoming pin.

Hmm......that would be good news if true!

GoT rules with Borg action and Franchi art? Sounds pretty great to me. I just PRAY that Borg has really come up with a NEW playfield design instead of another reskin or mirror of his existing designs.
alot of cool art potential as well as lighting effects and a bit of competition for Monster Bash in the way of theme character similarities.
if Borg design hope it is a new style layout and unlike his past 5 or so years layouts...

Will be good if that is going to happen! I also hope Borg comes up with a new design, time for some changes and I am a huge fan of his. Look at the popularity if IMDN. Machine is just a little bit different to recent releases and most of the pinball community loves it.

Now my expectations for Munsters are sky high! Borg said it was his favorite design too
When MBr's ship, they will be competing against other monster theme games - ACNC & Munsters (+ possibly Elvira 3)

All true
Quoted from mnpinball:All true
Holy shiiiiit!!! Am i allowed to say that on here? Who cares i said it anyways....i have a feeling that this game is going to be amazing....like Monster Bash/Adams Family on steroids!! I am stoked for this game big time.
Quoted from docquest:Most people are speculating Deadpool in a couple of weeks, Munsters Q4 2018 (maybe at expo) and Beatles in Q1 2019.
We have a winner.
When expectations are this high..there will always be disappointment. Love the theme, but the designers are screwed...at least on pinside. Let the b1tch1inng begin.

Deadpool's looking like a lame duck.
