    Quoted from cosmokramer:

    Judging by the aroma in the parking lot of the last auction I was at, I bet a cannabis pin would sell like chocolate covered hotcakes

    awesome, and yes I would buy it

    Quoted from bjsilverballs:

    (...) when's the last time Stern put out a machine that had gore of any sort on it? Big Buck Hunter didn't have splattered deer on it anywhere, did it?

    Thumb up for that one... A Limited Edition gore version of BBH...that made me laugh
    (By the way, is Abacusman around?)

    Quoted from mrclean:

    The Who 50th Anniversary

    Would like to see that. No photos. Hand drawn, pop art through mid seventies look.

    #155 10 years ago

    The next them will be..... Grease

    Quoted from zr11990:

    Oh Nooooooooo!

    #157 10 years ago
    Quoted from Taxman:

    Enough of the music themes. You need something everyone can agree on. Like Howard The Duck.

    I got quite a chuckle out of that.

    #158 10 years ago
    Quoted from mrclean:

    The Who 50th Anniversary

    Mustang 50th Anniversary

    Heck, if we are dreaming and tossing out 50th Anniversary titles . . . one game: Doctor Who 2

    #159 10 years ago

    If I dont get my Ron Burgandy pin by the end of 2014, Im gonna lose it...

    #160 10 years ago

    I bet by the time the expo is over we will know what the next game will be. Perhaps I should make that into a new poll.

    #161 10 years ago

    I don't know what's next,
    BUT
    if you are reading this Gary ...
    Michael Jackson pinball will make very good business sense for you
    (and one of the 999 LEs will look great at my place!)

    #162 10 years ago

    Sensing a Godzilla? Hoping something walking dead.

    #163 10 years ago

    Muppets.

    #164 10 years ago
    Quoted from TigerLaw:

    Futurama would also be a cool theme

    My 10 year old son said the exact same thing yesterday. It would probably be my first NIB after I had played it of course.

    #165 10 years ago
    Quoted from pinmods:

    I predict rice paper-thin plastics, an inkjet printed playfield and photoshopped cut and pasted artwork. Oh and it will be priced at the same price as a WOZ even though it has no LCD and vastly inferior build quality. Oh, and if you pony up an extra $1000 for a "limited edition", Gary will personally go to Toys R' Us and buy an action figure to screw onto one of the playfield plastics for you.

    I lol'd

    Music Pin to appeal to the young masses on route - Kate Perry or another NEW artist that is hot at the moment.

    #167 10 years ago

    Whatevers next I am sure they are going to be tight lipped about it given what has been going on with WOZ down here.

    Not sure what you mean. What's been happening with WOZ?

    #169 10 years ago

    Is Gomez up in the rotation? Will he still be making games in his new VP position? What's the rotating lineup these days, besides Borg, Ritchie and possibly Gomez?

    #170 10 years ago

    Angry Birds! Break the Band/Super Hero/Movie Tie-In rut!

    Quoted from Part_3:

    Gomez says he has done his last design and is out of the rotation as VP.

    #172 10 years ago

    Trudeau is next.

    #173 10 years ago

    I'm ok with walking dead or resident evil, they need to bust one of those out and I'm in

    #174 10 years ago
    Quoted from TigerLaw:

    Heck, if we are dreaming and tossing out 50th Anniversary titles . . . one game: Doctor Who 2

    Yeah, I'd be game.

    #175 10 years ago

    Me too.

    Quoted from txstargazer3:

    Interesting. Have they named a replacement yet? I would hope Borg and Ritchie have some sort of apprentices. This kinda knowledge needs to be passed on to a new generation.

    #177 10 years ago

    With the success of Ac/dc and Met and relative poor performance of TF, Xmen and TAV, I'd think another music pin is on tap.........

    #178 10 years ago

    I thought John Trudeau was hired to replace George Gomez in the rotation...

    Quoted from Part_3:

    #179 10 years ago

    I believe another Borg title is for April and Trudeau is after that. They are giving him extra development time.

    #180 10 years ago

    If they want a music pin, go with Rocky Horror Picture Show .... Let's do the Time Warp again!

    #181 10 years ago

    Nah, if they are going to do another music pin, let it be RUSH.

    #182 10 years ago

    Don't know if this was broached, but with the Freddie Mercury movie in the works, add a "Queen" pin to the discussion? Movie/music tie ins....lots of music and artwork to work with....have to say though I would throw down deposit for Iron Maiden or Rob Zombie w/o hesitating....

    Awesome theme. Easy way to do a cool Haunted House theme yet have a timeless license attached.

    It will have pixelated, photoshopped artwork that was done by someone off of Craigslist and plastics so thin they are transparent. It will have zero attempt at innovation. They'll have an "LE" model which the sheep will rapidly snap up because more of the same is perfectly fine.

    Oh and the theme will be whatever mainstream TV show or Movie was popular 9 months ago.

    Next summers' big movies are:

    Amazing Spider-Man 2
    X-Men: Days of Future Past
    Transformers 4
    Fast and Furious 7
    TMNT

    Too early for another Transformers or X-Men. Maybe....Maybe...Spider-Man 2, but I think it's still TOO SOON.

    TMNT hasn't been a Pin in over 20 years....

    But my guess is Fast and Furious 7. This is a mature franchise that is actually in its peak, not declining. Would bring in the younger crowds, and might be a great showcase for an LCD. I could see this as a late summer or fall release.

    I like to see a Zombie pinball but much more a original non-licensed theme.

    Scooby would be a fun idea!

    QUEEN! That will sell fast and be a great overseas product, especially in the UK & Australia!

    While music pins would wear on me, I think I could handle a Queen pin. I like the AC/DC pin, it is fun, but if it were the same table rethemed Queen (or Spinal Tap) I would be all over it. I think plenty of people would love a Spinal Tap pin, short selections though.

    Quoted from TigerLaw:

    Bankruptcy multiball!

    Thinking Bankruptcy multiBill.

    And what is with the Star Wars link? Are they hooked into the next Disney film already?

    #197 10 years ago

    Did anyone see the Rambo rides Godzilla picture on Sterns Face book page?

    #198 10 years ago

    Well this thread did not turned out like I had anticipated. Nobody is coming up front and spilling his gut. Come on share the good news. We have to agree at least on the fact that the next pin was name in this thread maybe even the next 3 pins. So many great themes I just hope they are not going quick buck and give us something like Thor cause of the upcoming movie and the next Avengers. Resident Evil and Fast and Furious respect Stern philosophy and would sell easy.

    5 and 7 sequels plus you could do like 5 more to each. Solid movie franchise, lots of Stars, cool possible artwork, videos for possible LCD upgrades, zombies, fast rides. $$$$$$$

    Would love a new Star Wars for the new trilogy and an Iron Maiden
    Futurama and The Big Lebowsky, huge fan

    We will see but I'm I the only one who thinks Star Trek deployement happen very fast ?
    I mean we all knew it was happening but a few days only after the official video teaser annoucement we had in game videos and maybe the week after it was already for sale and distributors had them in stock.

    Real fast, I remember not so long ago we had to wait forever for a Metallica annoucement video, like a month for in game videos and after wait forever to be able to buy it.

    what's going on ?

    Someone on Ebay don't know the difference between Star Wars & Star Trek i guess. ^^

    No doubt it would sell great there. 'Flash (Gordon)' wizard mode. Not sure if the US would be ready for it. What kind of 'toys' would that machine have..
