Hey, someone had to do it.. 
But seriously, if Stern is sticking to their current formula it'll likely be a music theme. Any guesses?
I'm betting either Aerosmith or Rush. I'd put money on it being Aerosmith though..

April Wine pin...
I would buy Aerosmith OR Rush. Rumor I heard (from a pretty good source) was Resident Evil. We'll see.

I would like to see a MIB to tell you the truth. Another trilogy pin! They could do alot with that. Im not a big fan of the music pins (and i play guitar). MIB is a chance to use some new tech and push the bar as far as toys go. Im all in for a avengers also.

Nope not yet. Last year was around this time Tron, then TF and then AC/DC.
So there is something between the music pin first. Avengers or Resident Evil perhaps?
And it's not like Stern makes a music pin every year. This year was AC/DC, last year TRS, and then it's way back to 2004 for Elvis.
Quoted from PinB:It's going to be Seinfeld with a Soup Nazi bash toy.
i would so buy that! no multiball for you!
Avengers.
Resident Evil maybe.
Star Trek - next year.
Led Zep - couldn't get agreement from all band members last heard.
Other music pins??
Quoted from BackFlipper:umor I heard (from a pretty good source) was Resident Evil
I hope not.. The game series is cool, but I dunno if it would translate to pins well.
I'd like to see Aerosmith OR Resident Evil (though as far as zombies go, Walking Dead would be cooler). So you all think that they might follow up X-Men with Avengers? Because I am pretty sure we would buy Avengers, I like that property better than X-Men (but Batman best of all).
Truthfully, I've got my fingers crossed for Adventure Time some day.
I would buy a Walking Dead pin on the spot sight unseen. Although I thought the same about X-men and I am glad I didn't. lol
Amy Winehouse.....start with a high score and see how much you can go downhill to get the highest negative score.
Yea, I know, not politically correct. But it would be innovative. Kinda like the dying flippers in Kingpin.
Avengers 2012
Led Zep 2013
Star Trek 2013
In that order says mnpinball crystal ball.
Ball subject to change.
Man, all their music pins are designed to hit people in the 40's and 50's . . . they really need to make at least ONE music pin targeting the Gen X'ers. (Led Zep hits the exact same people as TRS, AC/DC, Kiss, etc... even Elvis was hitting only the older people).
How about a "Battle of the Bands" music theme with the following all in the same pin (you could pick which of the three you would play as and try and "out sell" the other two):
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins
Quoted from ovfdfireman:Resident evil would be very cool, they probably will, that combats the whole zombie theme right.
Man, last couple titles from Stern, are with out a doubt, wish list worthy games
Quoted from Half_Life:My vote is for Pink Floyd. Flying pigs, brick walls, unlit side of the moon; the possibilities of playfield toys are endless! And the music..... bring it on!
+1

This will be an epic run of licensing if those are the next few games.... We should all get divorces now!

+1000!
Musician or rock band pins never really blew my skirt up. I dunno, if I want to "play" a jukebox, I'll throw a ball in it and shake it around myself. I've got memories tied to a lot of classic songs and none of them have to do with pinball. I don't want to hear a song down the road after a band's pin has been made and get pissed off because all I can think about now when I hear a song of theirs is how I'd better shoot the left ramp, then hit all the drop targets in order to start multiball and how I can never seem to pull it off! No, I've got good memories tied to classic music and I'm not going to change that.
Besides, I thought we all agreed that Stern's next pin was Futurama? Or do we need to necromance that thread again?

Rehab multiball.... Detox Wizard mode... That ones a nail bitter!!
I don't know if I would want to play a Pink Floyd pin. Would much rather sit back, smoke a cigar and watch someone else play it. 
Quoted from kmoore88:Any idea when their new platform with LCD would come out..for Star Trek?
I read a forum post from a guy that knows a Stern Employee's baby sister that Avengers is the First LCD... Take it to the bank!
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Star Trek - next year.
that is what I am saving for!
Resident Evil is my dream pinball theme, as it's my favorite video game series. I just hope it isn't based of the terrible movies.
I honestly think a non-licensed zombie pinball machine would be so much better then Walking Dead or Resident Evil. Don't get me wrong, I love the human drama in The Walking Dead, but I'm not sure it's the right fit for pinball. Of all the zombie licenses, I think Zombieland would be the best. I mean Woodie Harrelson, Bill Murray, Emma Stone, "zombie-clowns", "zombie kill of the week", "twinke", "double tap"... plus, all the other rules. It would have everything, I'd want in a pinball machine.

These are good times, but more of the same...
Superhero again, music again and a 5th Star Trek pin...
