Are you going to brass the apron too like SKB did? Oh wait a second, you have an LE, don't they come brassed already?

One things for sure and that is with the digital Ghostbusters pins, video games, redemption and even slots machines using original character audio (some custom from original actors) Stern doesn't have an excuse other then being too cheap to do the same.

Make it happen Stern

I will be really fed up if Lyman is doing the code..........

I have no space

Would be cool if they can create a 3d hologram ghost with a projector. That would be really cool if they can pull something off like that.

That would be cool.

Its hard to expect that from a company who made Avengers airplanes out of flat sheet plastic though.

Good point.

I am sure some of us modders can create some cool mods for this, though is a shame that Stern are doing this.

Since this is a theme that I really want it has me wondering what the layout will be as Trudeau does for some unique shots and not a straight fan layout.

A sub playfield would be cool for the ghosts stuck in the ghost trap.

Can imagine 5 standup targets placed around spelling "ghost"

The ghost trap for sure. Some of the iconic things I would hope to see would also be the fire house, the proton pack, the containment unit, slimer, stay puft, a PKE meter, and Ecto-1.

I'm hoping the LE is an Ecto-1 LE and they do something cool with the cab, like sirens and lightbar on top as a feature.

I agree about the modding potential. I'm really stoked to see what this game looks like, I have really high hopes.

I'm sure a topper like that will exist. For $500 aftermarket. (I'd add a laughing smiley but I'm serious.)

Yeah, I'm kinda worried about that from Stern.

For $500, I'll roll my own.

I bet back alley and mezel mods are already licking their lips on this one, I would be

We all know what is going to be.
An ENORMOUS LED Ghosbusters logo.

I can say I really did like the Stern TWD LE gov fish tank topper though, it was just the right size, had a proper mounting plate, and the colors were very well done (after updating the code).
Worth the $$$ IMHO, if you are going "all out".
Stern would do well to consider doing such a task again.

I hope GB Will come out one day. I also hope it will be the classic GB not the chicks. But with stern who knows?

Just built the Lego Ecto-1, and a new GB pin would make a great place to display it on

It's already been confirmed 50,000 times. IT'S THE CLASSIC 1984 MOVIE. Please, no one bring it up again FFS.

Ghostbusters proof?

I just watched the John's Arcade Stern tour video from start to finish (awesome, by the way...), and noticed a wiring harness board labeled "Harold Pro." Behind it in the picture below (taken from the video), you can see the wiring board for the "Bill Pro", which is for Star Trek. They use code names for their games: Politico for GOT, and I'm assuming "Bill" to pay homage to Shatner for Star Trek. So is "Harold" paying homage to Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters?

Nup, I'm going with Harry Potter.

The last couple Ghostbuster slots by IGT appeared to have custom callouts by Aykroyd with video excerpts of Murray from the first movie (on one of the versions). The Ghostbusters PS3 game (2009) had custom callouts from the whole cast according to IMDB. I'd say custom speech by Aykroyd should be a given, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for anyone else.

Already planning on having Proton Packs for sale at Expo next year and I might wearing full GB suit
Huge GB Fan. Can't wait for this to come out.

For sure I will have custom powder coating for this game. Slimmer green and other colors and designs but need to see cab artwork first to know what colors.

So many ideas but have to watch copyrighted stuff so gonna be interesting to see what we can do but I will for sure be buying this game.

Cool they're making a Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle's pin. Sweet. I love NPH!

So that is what Politico meant. When I took the factory tour in Oct, I had no idea why I saw that word everywhere.

Sorry, didn't read through the whole thread. That's good news though

Having Aykroyd do custom call outs would be amazing. I'll be a day one LE buyer if this is based on the original film (sounds like it), leverages original source audio and has a nice layout that offers value for today's crazy NIB prices.

His voice makes the most sense for it...it's the most unique & fun of the surviving cast...plus, he just seems like he'd be totally into it. He'll throw a coupon for Crystal Head Vodka in every coinbox!

Nice sleuthing! Looking forward to seeing this game.

Every time I read the subject of this thread it makes me laugh.

"Official speculation". I love that.

and hopefully won't let us down by not making it.

And when did that ever happen? Oh wait, Jaws.

The 2009 game had more than just callouts. The entire game was a new script acted out by the original four ghostbusters plus Annie Potts and William Atherton. It was basically Ghostbusters 3 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's still available on Steam.

I would be OK without custom callouts as long as they use audio clips from the movies. They could spend the money elsewhere to make the pin really something.

Hey! All both pinball machines containing Ernie Hudson have been done by John Trudeau! This clearly proves the moon landing was a hoax.

Stern's gonna have a heck of a year in 2016!

The cabinet sides should light up like Star Trek LE to represent the proton pack. There should be a magnet to catch the ball. When capturing a ghost, the magnet catches the ball, cabinet sides light up, and the light show should correspond to the trap opening and closing.

2 movies worth of callout material. Whoever is in charge of sound on this one could have a lot of fun with it.

Thanks for the goose chase you put me on. Ernie Hudson was in a surprising amount of T.V. shows/movies that were turned into pins including Black Sheep Squadron, Incredible Hulk, and Tales from the Crypt.

Ernie Hudson was in The Watcher (2000) with Rich Komenich
Rich Komenich was in Novocaine (2001) with Kevin Bacon

Full circle.

Ernie Hudson in 'Like a Brother,' one of the best episodes of The Incredible Hulk:

Also a good time to ask, has any actor besides Harrison Ford made it onto 4 pinball machines yet?

Arnold would have with Predator, Ian McKellan is at 3, as is Gary Oldman...

X-Men?

Nope, he's on The Shadow

I thought Kenny Baker was also on 4, the 3 Star Wars machines plus Flash Gordon.

Brad

Will it be 10k by x-mas ... Or maybe even more?

Jeff Bridges has been on several. Iron Man, Tron, The Big Lebowski... Any others?

Well, he did star in the 1976 version of King Kong, but I don't think he's on the back glass of the machine. I'm not even sure if the machine is even based on the 1976 film or the 1933 film. It kind of looks like it's just a comic art version of King Kong.

There was a Brazilian pinball machine that used art from the '76 King Kong for the backglass and playfield.

What about sly? He's been on Rocky, Demo man and I think at least one other? Same as Arnold, T2, T3, and Last action hero.

This render falls in line exactly with some rumors I had heard about the upper right part of the playfield. This could be incredibly cool with the skyline of buildings and Mr. Stay Puft looming behind them. I also heard that there may be an Insanity Falls-style ramp on the right hand side of the playfield that has a steep drop which sends the ball below the playfield and back up to the right flipper.

Sounds awesome!!
