Nice.
I feel like an idiot. I met her at a convention here in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and meant to ask her about this... but I totally spaced on it. Doh!
Out of the 410 (so far) that say they want the new pin if it was made I wonder how many would actually buy it.

I would only be a definite if it was Dennis and Greg creating the pin. Otherwise I would take a "wait and see" approach.

Yeah "it's not dead yet" is something. But if we hear "it's dead" from Dennis, well I don't even want to think about it.

Price would be an issue.
For example I was listed as one of the 179 (?) virtual buyers for a Lebowski pin, but cancelled my (non-existent) pre-order when the price was announced. May be I will regret it, because TBL looks cool, but that's a different story.
May be add a poll with different options:
- No way!
- I would buy it if priced in the same range as a Stern Pro
- I would buy it if priced in the same range as a Stern Premium
- I would buy it if priced in the same range as a Stern LE
- I would buy it at any price
- Wait and see the PF, might buy it later... done with preorders!

I'd buy at the Premium price or a little higher?

NO PRE-ORDERS!!! I've seen what those do to perfectly sane people on Pinside. NO PRE-ORDERS!!!
I think if they made just one model in-between a Pro and Premium they would sell more and would do good on route.

That would be my preference too.
My wife would make me buy a new Elvira pin regardless of price.
She loves Elvira.
We got both EATPM and SS already.
That is how i met my wife,
bought EATPM pin from her on ebay 4 yrs ago,
(she was regrettably down sizing her household at the time)
Bought Scared Stiff for her for her Birthday this year.

That is a great story. Thanks for sharing.
Quoted from Strange:SS is such a classic I still don't see a need for another Elvira game. Her act isn't the most relevant anymore and for those nostalgic souls there are already not one but two pins themed on her.
Well, you could say that about rock bands or superheros and even Star Trek. They exist, so why make more? I'll tell you why, because they sell. And few themes (probably none) are better suited to pinball than Elvira, especially if you're like me and want something that would entail spectacular artwork. Most of us want to see what Dennis and Greg could do with this theme and state of the art hardware. BTW, Elvira will always be relevant to those of us who love the Horror genre. Besides, characters don't age.

Well if you don't get it we can't explain it to you. By-by.

I'll never understand people protesting against a theme. If it doesn't interest you then move along. It's not like if Elvira #3 is made then the theme you really want is getting shit canned. It's not an either or situation. I'm not interested in the Mythbusters theme that Skit B is doing or the Hobbit by JJP, but I'm not gonna be bashing them every chance I get.
Yup....same here. I think they are just looking to up their Karma points. 
I'm not interested in a lot of games too so I just pass on by.
12 pages huh?
The existing Elvira games are great, but her act is way tired, played out, and outdated and so would any new game themed after her. Would be a huge mistake.
It's nice that Dennis and co. want to throw a bone to their old friend but any 2014 Elvira project seems like a huge waste of time for everyone involved, and and inevitable failure.
There's more than enough Elvira pinball to go around already.

another one. 
Quoted from Hazoff:and stop making games with themes based on humour.
yes, pinball is serious business! those of us with more mature, evolved sensibilities need more comic book superheroes and washed up rock stars photoshopped onto our PLAYfields.

I don't want that either, but Elvira humour? come on.
Are you guys for real, the post is asking who would interested or not. I'm not interested and left an explanation as too why. Can't all be what works for those who love Elvira, and it is possibly taking away from Dennis building a better themed pin. Jesus you can't say anything on here without the same crew of whiners shooting you down. Elvira humour is not funny too me hence no interest, that's my opinion. Sorry to state my opinion on a post asking for our opinions.

but they said they really want do this, that tells me they have all kinds of things already sketched and figured out, probably have for years now. When was the last time game designers have had years to plan and design a game? NEVER.

You are most obviously entitled to your opinion.
And we are also entitled to say how bad it sucks.
