Hmm. I voted toy story, but I actually would have though that GNR would have taken this.
Quoted from LTG:Been covered to death. The actors owned their own video and audio assets, so you'd have to deal with each and everyone. And after all that, Disney could still nix it from the game.
All the voices in the Stern game weren't the real actors. Elizabeth with that phony Irish accent was really bad. In the movie she was English.
LTG : )
Yes. To get bits of A Pirates Life for Me tune in Stern’s version was a real treat though!
Toy Story if it actually has lots of ball interactive toys, like DI or POTC has, will be a killer machine for JJP. Care about those more than paying Disney big money for loads of assets. Don’t think Disney quite gets the scale of things pinball. It’s not like selling millions of lunch buckets at $10. Lol
Quoted from Coindork:I just don’t see the attraction to Toy Story.
It has zero appeal to me as a collector.
Well the world doesn't revolve around you right? I'm sure there's lots of collectors that'll add this game to their collection.
The theme would also do great on location since it's that popular.
Quoted from Coindork:I just don’t see the attraction to Toy Story.

As a collector of pinball machines or coins?
As for which one for me, they are both way far down the list. GNfR I guess has the skulls and shit to put on the machine? I guess you could art them up, but if it comes out anything like a photoshop it's going to be fucking piss poor looking.
Toy Story could go the other way where it's overly bright and...well Wonka looking.
As always, themes don;t mean much to me so we'll see.
Shouldn´t the poll have been....
1. Eric, Widebody, gnr, great assets
v.s.
2. Pat, standard, toy story, terrible assets
Have to go with n.o.1, even if i would have prefered
3. eric, widebody, toy story, great assets
Toy Story ofc. Imagine a pin full of .... toys!
Seriously, I'm really tired of all music pins being churned out. I'm all for some more original stuff.

Agree but it was fairly well-known GnR was standard. JJP not going wide for the foreseeable future.
Quoted from drsfmd:I do, but GnR was shitty long before I had kids.
So, if you didn’t have kids, would you still buy Toy Story?
Quoted from Krupps4:So, if you didn’t have kids, would you still buy Toy Story?
Yes. Love the franchise and so do tons and tons of other people. 4 movies and there’s an entire wing of one of the Disney parks dedicated to it. Everyone knows what toy story is and has seen at least the first movie.
I’ve heard JJP is making both. I bet Toy Story is the better seller.
I love Toy Story (35), my sister does (28), and my daughter does (13). So it spans lots of age groups.
GN'R all the way, but I'm fairly certain Toy Story will sell more. I just hope GN'R will come out eventually and in its originally intended form.

I don’t have anything against Toy Story. I’m just trying to figure out if anyone without kids would consider it an instant buy. It may be a generational thing as well. You are 35. I’m 46. I think you are probably a little too young to have been in the mix when GNR was in their prime, so I can understand why you may not be interested in a GNR pin. Anyway, I’m sure Toy Story would be a great pin. I guess I’d just like to see JJP try something different and I don’t see Toy Story as being all that much different than Wonka. GNR, whether you like them or not, is different and JJP has never done music pin.
For all the people who want a guns and roses pin, I have terrific news: there already is one. There is NOT a Toy Story one yet. The choice is simple.

Even if I was your age I would spent my time going to lots of talking heads and Pink Floyd shows. GNR is fine, it’s just not that good. But clearly not my wheelhouse genre.
If you think Toy Story is similar to Wonka, I totally understand you questioning JJP’s decision to make Toy Story as well.

I’m actually a jam band guy, so I hear you.

I tend to agree with this view, enough remakes and nothing wrong with the existing GNR.
GnR is one of my favorite bands of all time, and that theme is right at the top for me for a modern game.
Quoted from Krupps4:So, if you didn’t have kids, would you still buy Toy Story?
I've said this in other threads, but there is literally no game that I would buy because of the theme. There are lots of games I would not buy because of the theme. I'm not sure if I'd be in the market for a Toy Story-- I'd have to see if I enjoyed playing it. There's nothing that could make me buy Guns and Roses, no matter how good the game is. It's 30+ years past its time, and I thought they were embarrassingly cheesy even before their expiration date.

He was in diapers the last time they had a hit.

I understood the deal made with Disney was a “lunchbox license” and after the asset fiasco with JJPOTC they went back to Disney to renegotiate their “other” licenses. Whatever became of that?
Both are the top two rumors from jjp I’ve been waiting for. Favorite band, and favorite animated movie. Can’t wait for both.
I do prefer Toy Story.
We (the pinball community) do have already a great Gunners pinball from DE.
So It‘s time for Toy Story I hope
Tough call for me. My favorite themes are movies, sci-fi, robots, spooky/horror...not necessarily music pins and kids shows.
I like GNR a lot, and I enjoyed the TS movies, however. There is already a GNR pin and a glut of music pins that have come out over the last few years...but TS is a bit "kiddie" for me.
I ultimately chose Toy Story because I think it had a lot more options/potential than GNR. If a reasonable amount of assets are acquired, its' possibilities are near endless (call outs, sound clips, video clips, toys/gimmicks, mods, artwork, etc).
P.S. I feel much the same way about LEGO (which I would love to see made into a pin, btw). It just has limitless potential.
I mean how much GNR material can possibly be integrated visually into JJP’s monitor and tied into gameplay. I’ll guess we will see eventually. Will it be like the cartoonish Aerosmith pin. There’s just so much out there with TS with its assets that can be presented in front of you and toys galore under the glass. But that to will be interesting to see in this so called new “Wonka” streamlined model moving forward. As far as features what will and will not be part of the game in its design.
Surprised a "The Bachelorette" pin wasn't added as an option (would inspire about the same amount of excitement as the other two).
Quoted from chuckwurt:AC/DC is one of the best games I’ve ever played/owned. I have zero interest in the band. GNR could be similar for me. But Toy Story is way better theme for pinball imo.
What do you have playing on yours? I assume you have it changed...just curious. I played a Metallica with Enya once....once....
Quoted from Chitownpinball:What do you have playing on yours? I assume you have it changed...just curious. I played a Metallica with Enya once....once....
AC/DC.
Quoted from Blackjacker:Toy Story vs. Guns N' Roses sounds like a great mashup theme. Bring it on.
How about a MTV Deathmatch!
Oh, the good old days
A Disney Pixar/JJP partnership would be pretty awesome. After a Toy Story pin they could do one with the Incredibles. Both of those franchises are ideally suited for a modern pin.
I think they could pretty do a pretty awesome "Cars" pin. Of course, some of the movies just won't work. I doubt anyone would ever want to play a "Good Dinosaur" pin.

Baby Jack Jack modes haha.
Underminer subway system
Bot bash toy
Screenslaver light show
Soundtrack could be fun (and could be generic too to save $)
God I have seen those movies way too many times.
I'm going to invite a bunch of my 40+ year old buddies over and tell we are going to watch Toy Story 4 together, and geek out over Buzz and Woody, and then play Toy Story Pinball, oh darn everyone cancelled. New scenario, invite a bunch of buddies over to listen to awesome rock music and drink beer, and break in my new GNR pinball, everyone shows up.
It must be the crowd you hang out with... If I invited my buddies over to play a Toy Story pin they would fly in from around the country. They have all already seen the movie with their families.
If I invited them to come over to listen to GNR and Iron Maiden I would be the butt of all their jokes for the next 20 years.

It is for sure the crowd I hang with, men, not children, there is a reason every stadium across North America plays "Welcome to the Jungle", and "Paradise City". I have never heard anyone complain. I play Pinball for a rush of speed and adrenaline, I like when it kicks my ass, have a look at my collection! There is no room for a kiddy themed pin at my house!
Quoted from Indusguys:It is for sure the crowd I hang with, men, not children, there is a reason every stadium across North America plays "Welcome to the Jungle", and "Paradise City".
They also play "Bang on the Drum all day", "The Chicken Dance" and "YMCA" are you suggesting those would also make good pinball themes?
