Quoted from Coolpinballdino:I so hope it's Jurassic World instant buy for me would love to have it besides my other two JP pinball machines.
I so hope not. When was the last time Stern broke the mold on a mech? JP/JW needs a dope mech to interact with the ball. Not a raptor on a spring to bounce around.
Quoted from Whysnow:So...
consensus is Jurassic World
Sometime in June or July?
anything else?
Please god no JP/JW from Stern. Please....
Stranger Things.
They are due for a newer TV theme.
CSI
24
The Sopranos
Wheel of Fortune
World Poker Tour
Walking Dead
GOT
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Have you played the new BK SOR the knight mech is a bad ass toy. Stern usually does a hit or miss but I have faith in Elwin if the rumors are true of him designing because Maiden is my favorite game of all time kick ass layout and great coding as a tournament player I love it.
Balls spin around, shield goes up and down. What so great? The flail is just a huge spinner with balls on the end. The shield is a rising target like that of Stargate's guards that rise.
The last mech that I was impressed with was Keith's captive ball for Maiden. I like that you can hit that newton ball in its normal state. Hit it with a ball inside. Hit it and knock the ball out. Its a very cool toy in my opinion. Stern doesnt make new mechs at all any more as far as I can tell. Im sure its expensive, but its what we need. Innovation.
Im really into locking balls and then them doing something. I wish there was a mech that incorporated BBB's captive balls with a locking mechanism. That way you could define certain parameters based on where the balls are when you release them for multiball.
For Jaws it would be cool if you locked the balls in his mouth representing the barrels, and then he lowers or something and you can knock the balls out one by one increasing multiplier or whatever with how ever many are released.
Lots of cool stuff that can be done that hasnt been touched on yet. I hope deep root can actually wow us one day. Really high hopes there...
Quoted from gumnut01:I think I’d rather see Violent Femmes made into a pin than another esoteric metal band.
I like VF, but god no would that be an awful music pin. Why not just change the songs of a current music pin to suite your liking?
Quoted from Whysnow:I think VF could be a really good music theme. Pop in your face high energy songs and weird shit! Perfect for pinball and great call out possibilities
VF is so anti climactic....you guys are weird. Nothing about that music gets my blood pumping to play some pinball. This would be better suited as a beatles re-theme, lol!
Quoted from chad:I want to see disappearing spinners like the pop bumper on CV.
That might be cool!
Quoted from thecashier76:I love Stranger Things, but I’d worry about how would this machine last over time if given to us now. Is it going to be presented to us with just the first 2 seasons? Will it include season 3? What happens with the game if Stranger Things continues for 5 more seasons? I also understand as a business you want to hit the market while it’s HOT! Anyway, fingers crossed we are getting something great.
TWD took a total shit right after the game was made. I think it would be safer to get it done with the assets that are already there. Especially with the new season looking to totally throw everything on its head.
Quoted from Tranquilize:I just don't see how a fan layout, a magnet bash, and a side pothole will do justice to stranger things... Maybe they could add a toy on a spring?
I would hope they would at least do a grandpa mini playfield but turn it around to make it more "upside down" like.
