All,
I'm thinking the following so far...
1. Elvira 3 (Texas Pinball Reveal the day after)
2. TBD
3. TBD
Munsters will be at 1.0 code by May 2019 - announced on Friday, Dec 21, 2018 unless they stick to Tuesday announcement which would be...Dec 25th!

Quoted from Tsskinne:Jaws
Jurassic World
I wonder if the release of a Jurassic World pinball machine would drive the price of the Data East Jurassic Park up... or down.
I'd be a killer theme and if they copied the ball eating T-Rex would have a killer toy.

First game may be Munsters if it's not announced soon.
After Munster's we know stern has Elvira 3 which is rumored for a Fall release. We also know Steve Ritchie is working on an non licensed title that may come in 2019. That just leaves Elwin and Brian Eddy which are both working on unknown titles. Eddy has been rumored to be on Jaws but that's not confirmed. I'm guessing Borg will get a full year on his next one so likely nothing else from him in 2019. So 2019 has potential to have several huge releases. Seems like stern is gearing up to compete with Willy Wonka and possible weed out some of the other companies that are trying to get started.
Could we see Munsters, Jaws, and Elvira 3 in the same year? With Elvira being designed a long time ago that also opens the door for possibly 4 cornerstone releases if Munsters comes at the beginning of the year.
Quoted from LTG:I'm thinking Munsters, Jaws, then Sons Of Anarchy with Myan tie in.
Looking like a great year for Stern, no matter what they do release.
LTG : )
Even though it will probably never happen Sons of anarchy would be pretty cool I made this mod for my Sega Harley Davidson.

Elvira doesn't appear to be a cornerstone release. Supposedly, Nordman only made one layout for it.
Also, Lyman is rumored to be coding Elivra 3, and he recently said in a podcast his next game is a special release and not a cornerstone.
Please - Elvira 3 needs 3 models. Pro, Premium and LE. No cash grab high priced models only. That would be crappy.
If only one model, then make it a Pro only - with Pro Pricing.
No more cash grab games.

If only one model, then make it a Pro only - with Pro Pricing.

Agreed! But I think it will be one model with Premium pricing.
Quoted from Cruster:You’ve forgotten the yearly music theme.... What’s it going to be this time?
Should be Queen, but that's just me. I want to see someone play a ball through Boheimien Rhapsody

It's a boutique release. No Pro level in either features or pricing.
As for a Metal pin, Megadeth and Motley Crue might make me open my wallet, but doubt those ever see the light of day, though.
To my surprise we've sold the shit out of Beatles, so as much as you music pin haters scream, they always sell well which means more on the way.

What announcement :-p next game is probably going to be released at CES... with jack danger in their booth to talk and stream it
Munsters
Rest of Beatles run
Bk3k
Bill and Ted or Beetleguese
Elvira 3
Jurassic World?
Reruns of some
100 of something based on home spiderman layout.
Quoted from pascal-pinball:next vault is not walking dead
Please enlighten us
Quoted from hollywood:Will they EVER do a LOTR Vault?
Yes. It's probably the only vault with massive sales potential they have left.
Quoted from Sinestro:Elvira doesn't appear to be a cornerstone release. Supposedly, Nordman only made one layout for it.
Also, Lyman is rumored to be coding Elivra 3, and he recently said in a podcast his next game is a special release and not a cornerstone.
So it’s a contract labor game like Supreme, PBR, and Primus? I figured it might be.
Not a contract game. From what a couple folks are saying, just a one model cash grab game with Premium type pricing. Casandra Peterson isn't going to be selling them. So not a contracted game. Cash Grab only edition is the rumor, but hopefully that is not the case and it will be a regular cornerstone. Probably will be a long time until we find out. For a confirmed game Elvira sure has been on the back burner a long time.
I think Stern are doing Bon Jovi.
On tour next year for first time in 6 years.
Few people mentioned about a year ago that Stern have the licence.
Number 26 in the all time list.

Maybe this is what Elwin is working on? 
Does anyone really want a BK3000? BK was amazing for its time and is still a great game in a larger lineup as a showcase of that era. BK2000 was very very shallow and not a lot of fun, bad artwork, dizzying / disorienting light show with the rotational lighted inserts. The theme resonates with no one in this day and age. I can hardly think of a System 11 game I would want less than BK2000. If he is working on an unlicensed "sequel" type game I pray its Getaway 3.

You can forget about that considering Beatles send to be a big success for them. Market has spoken and I don't blame them for continuing either.
An earlier post mentioned Jurassic world and jaws. Both of those would be instant buys for me unless they pulled the Beatles approach.
Imo bill and Ted's is coming out this year made by BE. The guy practically confirmed it on a recent lit tilt podcast.
Quoted from delt31:Imo bill and Ted's is coming out this year made by BE. The guy practically confirmed it on a recent lit tilt podcast.
I will continue to cross my fingers. This is my #2 top dream theme after Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. IF that one ever got made it just feels more like a JJP choice of theme.
Stern could rock a nice bill and Ted theme though. Zombie Yeti art please, not photoshop.

Contact your distro and see how big of a success it is for him. Those are not doing very well for number of units sold. Stern would love to get more orders from the distributors but the sales are not there in unit numbers. Distributors are not asking for more. Numbers of games sold is low.
Quoted from Guinnesstime:What? Why?

Gotta get that 40-65yr female demographic

You can't imagine how much I disagree. But to each their own.

I would love that.

Guessing because they have sold 130 million records?
Can't remember how strong the rumor was that Stern acquired the licence.
It's the kind of licence Stern would buy - RS, AC/DC, KISS, MET, AS.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Few people mentioned about a year ago that Stern have the licence.
Has anyone provided proof?
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Has anyone provided proof?
I can't remember how solid the rumor was.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:I can't remember how solid the rumor was.
And in perfect Pinsider fashion, you immediately posted it.
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:I wonder if the release of a Jurassic World pinball machine would drive the price of the Data East Jurassic Park up... or down.
I'd be a killer theme and if they copied the ball eating T-Rex would have a killer toy.
I personally do not think jurassic park will ever go down. It's going up. My opinion.
But down.
No. Just my opinion.
Part of my reasoning is that in this market, no good pinball will go down.
Of course there can be exceptions.

Bon Jovi has 13 studio albums and 130,000,000 in album sales since 1984.
Coldplay has 7 studio albums and 100,000,000 in album sales since 2000.
This doesn't mean they deserve pins.
Jurassic World would be a slam dunk theme....BUT...God help us if they go the route of Star Wars and ruin an amazingly rich theme with a game that has absolutely no theme integration outside of the LCD video clips...The Data East Jurassic Park is timeless and a blast to play. Add a pinsound and color DMD and it holds up amazingly well. I am fearful we will get the Star Wars treatment though. Frankly JJP would do a much better job with theme integration.
