Who here is trying to decide whether to wait for Avengers announcement / info / release or pick something else up?

If so, what else are you considering buying?

For me, I think I have room for 1 more and that's it. After that, I have to move a beloved pin to get another one. (I have thought I was out of room before, but have found room for 4 more, but if I add 1 more I am truly out of room).

Do you get something now that you know you will like, or wait for Avengers and hope its great? If you wait for Avengers, you may miss out on a great deal now.

I loved the Avengers movie and am a fan of comic book / superhero pins.

Thoughts?

Wouldn't there be some sort of announcement on Avengers soon? (playfield pics, LE/pro models, yadda, yadda...).

If the release is end of November, you'd think the info would start to come out soon.

More interested in either of those

Kiss would be a pretty pointless theme to go with, Avengers holds literally zero interest for me. My hopes are on Predator.

I don't see Avengers coming out this year. I think that is why they are doing all these re-runs and TF home to give them time. I have loot set aside for Avengers and am waiting. Stern and George can have all the time they want! I don't want any rushing on this game. I also have a feeling this will be using new hardware and LCD? I can hope anyway

Last year TF pro was done for expo and Gomez talked about LE features for TFLE. I can't believe they didn't have Avengers ready for the show. I'm not buying one until I can try it.

Stern posted a FB comment today asking what Halloween theme we want. Maybe a horror theme is in fact in the works in the not too distant future.

I'm in a similar situation, so please let me know what you figure out. I'm thinking of selling off some of my early Solid State pins to make room for newer stuff though, as deciding between all these great titles that are available is very difficult.

Btw, Star Trek, if done by Steve Ritchie, would be fantastic!

In for Avengers regardless if it hits Nov/Dec or Jan/Feb. I will buy Kiss but not Metallica. Hopefully a spot opens for a Predator as well. That should do me for a year.

PNBLWZD - I am jealous of the fact that you have room for 47 games!

I am really torn whether to get one I really like for a good deal or wait and miss the deal. If I get both, I guess I'll have to ship out the one I play the least.

I am probably between ACDC Prem. and Avengers unless something else gets announced around the same time.

I cannot imagine Stern doing XMEN, Avengers and Superman. It would seem that those would hurt each others sales too much.

Wait it out ... you have plenty of machines to keep you playing until Avengers is announced and you can get to play one. Deals come and go, I would not be worried about missing a deal.

For me Superman and Avengers would be tough to choose between, especially having grown up in the 70's and 80's when Superman and Batman were the main superheroes.

X-Men, Avengers, AND Superman? That's major super hero overkill. I really hope it's Trek instead.

Star Trek would certainly make more sense and would possibly grab a bigger demographic with the new movie coming out in combination with all the older Trek fans.

Star Trek seems to be a pipe dream, based on Steve Ritchie's renaissance. Avengers seems likely though.

Avengers could be a re-themed Xmen, just saying like Family Guy to Shrek.

There were Kiss posters for sale/to be autographed in the autograph session this year at expo so looks like Kiss may still happen. Would love for a Ritchie Startrek to be made. All this superhero pin stuff needs a break already. Bring on the sci-fi and make Futurama to complete the series.

You can bet that if Stern puts it out it will be a fan layout game no matter who designs it. So will avengers be. Im betting that Kiss will be a AC/DC clone.

Halloween theme?

Easy - Nightmare Before Christmas, nail two holidays in one and fight JJP on their family friendly turf.

In fact I really wish JJP were doing that instead of WOZ, thinking about it.

Agree completely. I scratch my head as to why Nightmare Before Christmas or a Harry Potter themed game doesn't already exist. Seems like a slam dunk.

After X-MEN I decided to hold off on buying NIB since I am tight on space and you just don't know if it will become the next Tron or TRS. I hate to sacrifice a game to make room and then it turns out to be a dud. Plus at these prices I would rather wait and see. I doubt the hype of any other game released by Stern will ever be as big as the hype for X-MEN and the length of the X-MEN thread speaks for itself. Between all the pinheads hype since it was Borg's game based on comics with custom art and DMD, expectations of comic book collectors buying them up like Tron, predictions of a 10K game by Christmas, etc if there was ever a game that should have sold out it was X-MEN. Distributors still have LE's in stock and there have been a number of HUO's for sale, so that tells me no matter what the next title is there will still be plenty of them available afterwards.

Waiting for something is silly. Buy something now, if you want avengers later when it's announced, sell what you bought and buy avengers. Pins are easy to sell. It's not some like long investment that needs careful planning.

I believe the next game out will be a Borg Game and the theme is the Munsters out in January-Feb. Avengers will be released in April-May

Personally I would love to see Steve Ritchie do another Superman machine. whether it happens or not only time will tell.

To go head to head with JJP on a family friendly type of machine and also with a twist of horror, I would like to see a Scooby Doo machine made. Plenty of scope for family friendly or adult settings and it is a theme that spans generations.
