Quoted from phil-lee:Stern will probably cheap out like Jurassic Park and do a quarter of the full Licensing.
I hope you are wrong - but I think you are probably right.
Stern and theme integration using assets hasn't been all that great in my opinion...
Quoted from luvthatapex2:TRON has great theme integration. I feel like I jumped into the movie and I'm on the lightcycles.
That's true. The look of the pin, the light cycles, disc throwing the ball back at you, and the assets used (call outs, music, modes, etc) where very much like the movie. TRON theme integration is absolutely fantastic.
To your point Chuck - Hobbit probably sets the bar the highest in theme integration and asset usage.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Has anyone ever seen a game with amazing theme and asset integration from a big time license?
Spooky did it with R&M it looks like! 
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah solely from the custom callouts from the characters of the show. Very strong start.
But.........
STRANGER THINGS!!!![quoted image]
IKR...I am trying so hard to keep my expectations low on Stern's Stranger Things.
Quoted from Coz:What does a shake weight have to do with anything???
Maybe he is saying get pumped? Bad gif selection if so...
Quoted from delt31:I really hope you get that third flipper!
I have an extra flipper on the hobbit you can have 
Quoted from chuckwurt:That would be badass.
Easy guys, easy! Please temper your expectations!
Quoted from jandrea95:its the right time of year for it. many companies not expecting much production this time of year, lol
I coast to the finish line starting on Thanksgiving...
Quoted from lapean111:People aren't attacking you. You came here and said things that weren't true. We are trying to let you know your distributor, whoever they are, is bullshitting you. Get your money back, and give it to someone who actually deserves it.
Or at minimum your distributor doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about.
Quoted from TheLaw:There's the Uma in her
For sure.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Well, here we go again with the playfield lottery. This is from a new JP with 15 plays...with the updated artwork that has no artwork around posts. Reports of this issue still occuring, and Stern sending out less populated playfields, makes me nervous to preorder a Stranger Things LE.

This is why I am going to be out on Stranger Things...
or JJP's next one (wouldn't want to be called a fanboy)
I should just get R&M to be honest. Thought that is much easier said than done.
Quoted from Shapiru:Trying to talk the wife into getting a Stern Stranger Things as we love the show!
I am trying to talk my wife into other things - and it isn't pinball
Anyway, I am concerned about:
1. The projector on this title a lot
2. The demogorgan toy - I think it would have been better to have a full figure and a hole in the chest that you shoot the pinball into. I would just look so much better to be honest. I wonder if a mod can be done to replace it to a figure instead of the head/mouth.
3. Hate to say it, but I am still not convinced that the PF issues are resolved.
I love the art, movie assets, and layout so far.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Looks boring if that is the best they’ve got.
I don't know about that... Having 11 and the others try to get Hopper out of a secret Russian military base could be fun to watch
I have some dimples on the mighty Hobbit play field that is considered to be one of the better play fields from JJP. That said, over four years later I have no chipping, pooling, or other issues with the play field and it still looks really nice (save the dimples here and there).

Quoted from Zablon:I'm thinking of going for it as it's cheaper than a pinball machine
Most things are with these current pinball machine prices
