I posted this about a month ago in the Next Stern Pin....

IF and when a STRANGER THINGS Pinball comes out :

Should have :
-Iconic creepy score plays at power up / ball launch
-Demogorgon mech opening ball swallowing / spitting out feature.
-LED blinking Christmas lights that WILL communicates with you
-Lower Playfield which represents the "Upside Down" (or entire Playfield becomes grayscale, perhaps flippers are reversed )
-Magnetic levitating ball / save feature that Eleven saves you with her powers
-Waffle / Eggo pop bumpers
-The Clash - Should I stay or should I go needs to play at some point as a music clip
-Spinner which rotates / activates the kids bike tires
-Dustin And Suzie Sing 'The NeverEnding Story' when having a long balltime / wizard mode
-Need to collect items like Steve's Spiked bat to battle
-Scoops Ahoy flavor mode call outs with Erica serving as she puts the ERICA in AMERICA
-Save / Find Barb mode
-Final Battle Mode with The Mind Flayer
-Star Court Mall escalator ramp for the ball to slide down
-Murray Bauman hidden hide out spot on the playfield
-Chief HOPPER call outs
-Billy mode heavily featuring the shaker as he's a pretty intense character
-Gather Friends Lucas, Dustin, Will, Mike, increase multipliers
-Hurry up mode Close the gate
-Joyce Byers cracking her axe as the playfield rumbles from the shaker
-Initials / name "Mad Max" score should be the highest score from factory
-Dr Martin Brenner gather test subject modes
-Bob Newby aka Sean Astin Ball Save
-Chief Hopper SHOOT Again!
*Beat MAD MAX Dig Dug score or mini Hawkins Arcade mode on LCD screen
*Other 80's references throughout the playfield
*Walkie Talkie communication / call outs

When Stern introduces the world net play functionality the Game locations should be one will be located in the US somewhere (not in Hawkins anymore) the other somewhere in Russia.

Hopper is NOT Dead he's playing Galaga in Russia.

I figured it's going to look kinda like this

I'm guessing its a similar technique that they used in Ghost Busters vision ?

Speaking of food and getting back on Stranger Things track....apparently yet another familiar Brian Eddy Easter egg finds it's way into this game....

No one really talking much about the Hologram feature that it will supposedly have...I'm thinking Sega's Time Traveler Hologram game from 1991... It's going to be sick to have holograms on the playfield... did Stern miss the boat by not implementing that on Star Wars with R2D2 / Princess Leia?

I'm guessing it will be demogorgans ? You need to hit them or go past them as the playfield LED lighting / holograms of floating stuff... If that's the case it would be amazing.

It's a monogamous pinball collection

Piranha DD this would be the backglass... competition for Casandra / Elvira.

618-625-8313 is his number.... oh wait that's Murray Bauman's. .... go ahead call... he knows why MMr is late... leave him a message!

MMMMM 2 scoops of Robin please!

I was thinking they can implement the "Mist" BSD Ball slowing it down with the LED lighting to represent the upside down , in addition to the upside down ramp.

Bob said he hopes it doesn't suck.

Because Stern is saving that combo for "Jaws"

frankmac left his Next Stern Pin thread to come into this Stranger Things thread, which means this is the ultimate Stranger Things thread... Let's just hope we have the same reaction as Dustin and company when the reveal takes place.

Monday.

I’m thinking it will look like the Walt Disney World castle projection for the shows and or Universal studios projection on the Harry Potter castle.

While I enjoy the Stranger things Barb pool scene, as well as the billy pool scene... I'm partial to the Fast Times at Ridgemont High scene with Phoebe Cates.

No need for Novus on the playfield... Steve Harrington said ; "do four puffs of the Farrah Fawcett spray"

tumblr_oymqh33un71qcat3go1_1280 (resized).jpg

yes, but mainly the travesty was him using the shake weight gif

STP but that reminds me of Sublime as in Secret Tweaker Pad

or NTP as in Netflix Stranger Things

I'd guess 2,500 - 8,000 hrs if it's not LED although Most LED bulbs 50-100k hrs

I'm guessing it's going to look like this Projection mapping which is explained in detail on Adam Savage’s Tested YouTube:

Just think white drop targets / other white plastics where they can change whatever is on the playfield / interact with the game / ball / modes etc.

Some more screen grabs:

Look at all of those inserts OMG !!!

The optimal room lighting for this game...

I pity the fool who is illogical.

Magenta powder coating you can see from another dimension

It's gotta hold up, you certainly don't want insert wear especially on this game.

I would imagine Sunshine Laundry in BK will get one
