    The CES show is in the next couple weeks, could Stern or someone else be announcing there?

    I’m thinking one of them will for sure be a music license.

    Quoted from Guinnesstime:

    Let’s get the Led out already.

    Hell Yeah!

    Quoted from HookedonPinonics:

    Here are my thoughts/opinions on these themes
    Back to the Future - I don't see this happening. As much as I love the movies I just don't see a resurgence in this theme.
    The Beastie Boys - Nope. Beastie Boys are cool but def not a strong enough act to carry a pinball machine.
    The Beatles - I am not a huge Beatles fan but this of course would make the most sense to me. Not sure how expensive it would be to get a license on this though.
    Fast and the Furious - Awful movies but I can see Stern doing a pin on this. Esp with a new dumb movie coming out.
    The Goonies - Awesome theme but for some reason not sure if this would get much coin drop from the younger crowd. Seems more of a nostalgic idea for those in our 30's/40's
    Harry Potter - Great theme and would make a great pin but would make more sense if this came out years ago when the hype/movies were there. The theme has a strong standing power though so would def make sense.
    Iron Maiden - Great band and I thought this was already in the mix so it could be this.
    It - Nope. Not strong enough of a theme. I'm a big King fan but I can't see this as a pin.
    James Bond - Yawn. Already have them and don't care to have more.
    Jaws - Awesome theme and can see this being a real cool pin. I am not a big Jaws fan but I wouldn't mind owning one for some reason.
    Jurassic World - This is prob the one being revealed. Would make the most sense and like Guardians would be a good earner on route for it being current.
    Led Zeppelin - Dream theme for me. Love me some Zep and would get one in a heart beat. For some reason though I don't see this happening anytime soon.
    The Matrix - Another yawn. The Matrix was awesome back in 99 and would have been a cool theme back then. Not now.
    Men in Black - Yawn again. Was a big MIB fan back in 97 but the sequels killed this franchise for me and I don't see this being an earner for any company.
    Michael Jackson - Would be awesome but too much drama around Jacko for this to get produced.
    Mission Impossible - Yeah no. Again would be cool if it came out with the first or second Cruise ones but cant see the hype on this.
    Muppets - Classic theme and would be a ton of fun. Could see this happening. As of late though The Muppets have done a poor job of staying relevant. Such a great franchise just not able to keep it going.
    Price is Right - Would have to be Bob Barker for me to care about. haha. Who doesn't love Price is Right.
    Pulp Fiction - Great movie just don't see this happening from a major manufacturer. Would have to be like something that Dutch did with the Big Lebowski.
    Super Mario Bros. - Dream theme for me but would rather want to see a Nintendo theme. This could make sense with the new Nintendo Land happening at Universal. Nintendo might get into pinball to get the hype going.
    Superman - Not sure if there is a new Superman movie but I can see this being more of a comic book theme than the movie. I just don't care about Superman.
    Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - Would be awesome. Like others have said, JJP would make the most sense but I can't see them announcing this before getting any Pirates off the line but who knows. Would be fun!
    Zelda - Another dream theme. Would take it over Mario. But again, I am not sure if a company would take the chance on a Nintendo franchise. It would have to be Nintendo reaching out and contracting a manufacture to make.
    That's my two cents on this and of course my opinions don't matter. Exciting to see what it will be. I am good with all of them except for Fast and the Furious and Mission Impossible.

    I wouldn’t count out the Zeppelin theme. 2018 is their 50th anniversary and in an interview from early December Page and Plant said there were going to be some special things coming.
