This is absolutely stunning. Riggs artwork screams pinball. Too bad he won't be doing the official.

Quoted from JH315:This is absolutely stunning. Riggs artwork screams pinball. Too bad he won't be doing the official.
What happened with Riggs and Madien, never heard the story. I admit there last few album covers have not been good. Last one I liked was Brave New World and that was last full album liked as well.

While I personally would love an Iron Maiden theme, I doubt it will ever happen. The Bands that they have used have significantly more sales than Maiden (AC/DC 200M, Stones 200M, GNR 100M and it was released at their peak). Metallica may be the best comparison with 110M sales.
However, if they are going for sales and popularity, Aerosmith is the obvious choice for a band theme. They have 150M in album sales.
Iron Maiden is closer to 90M but they are well past their peak and it would appeal to a core audience.
I guess you could argue that they are only trying to sell 3000 pinball machines so you only need to appeal to a core fanbase.

They only have to appeal to pinheads with a great game.
To me, Metallica has sucked ass on every album after Master of Puppets, but I still own their pin.
The call outs are gay, the stock music mostly sucks, but the pin is crazy fun.

Aerosmith will turn out to be a good game for another Maiden project.

Sorry to resurrect a dormant thread but with all the Maiden talk and being a huge fan I stumbled upon this bloody marvellous piece of artwork blending my favourite band with my favourite hobby. Well done sir, I really hope Stern (is it definitely them who have the licence?) are inspired here to produce a pin to this level of quality. But how do we get to see yours over here in the UK? I would be willing to commission the manufacturing and postage of a 2nd machine to the UK but I'm sure you've had a list of requests like that already!
