    With the discussion/speculation about upcoming pins, including what's next for JJP, I thought it would be interesting to know what themes people would be most excited about. It seems that we are getting short on having themes left that would be universally popular, with a few exceptions like perhaps Harry Potter and Toy Story.

    I've tried to list most of the themes that I've seen a fair number of people mention that they'd like to see, including ones that I personally wouldn't care for.

    For me Pulp Fiction, Toy Story, and Blade Runner would be high on the list.

    By the way, please vote based purely on what theme you'd like to see most, regardless of whether you think it will actually be made or not (many people say the Harry Potter license is unobtainium for example)

    I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised that Blade Runner is leading this poll!

    It almost makes me tear up...

    Quoted from TimeBandit:

    I did vote for Blade Runner, and have wanted that for years and years. BUT, the one thing that BR may suffer is it's lack of any upbeat content, or any faster paced original music for use in multiballs or the like.

    There is some faster paced original soundtrack music in Blade Runner, but like any pin, there would probably need to be some additional original music added as well

    Quoted from Astropin:

    Still, I would have thought Blade Runner would have much greater appeal to this small demographic.

    I voted for Blade Runner, but I'm actually surprised that it has done as well as it has. It's kind of a cult movie that movie buffs love, but there's not a huge public affection for the film in general. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Either way, glad to see it get as much love here as it is.

    Personally I agree with not getting the love for Harry Potter. I've never read the books, but after watching the first two films I was left scratching my head as to why there was so much love for the films. And people still want a HP pin.

    Quoted from Pimp77:

    If the poll was structured to allow multiple choices the poll would likely end up different.

    Which is exactly why I didn't allow for more than one choice.

    I wanted to know what people wanted to see the most.

    Quoted from o-din:

    A blade runner pinball machine would need slow moving two hour games. Then it would be just like the movie.

    It's no slower than BSD, and that theme works just fine for pinball.

    Quoted from o-din:

    I'll play any game they come up with. I've never been too picky unless it's one I'm looking to buy.
    Why don't we just let the pinball makers go back to deciding what games to make. Maybe the less input pinside has the better.

    It would be interesting to know what kind of market research Stern and the other pinball companies do in order to determine what the next theme will be.

    Quoted from o-din:

    They don't have to spend a dime on research anymore. Just skim pinside for the next speculation thread. Give the people what they want. Unfortunately pinside doesn't speak for all the people.
    If they had used pinside as a guide in the past, we may have never seen AC/DC, Tron, or even Big Buck Hunter to name a few.

    I remember lots of people wanting both AC/DC and Tron as a theme for a pin. BBH? Not so much. But I have no problem with BBH as a theme myself.

    Quoted from Astropin:

    Really? I friken love that movie.... now and when l was a teen. It's funny because I remember all my friends going "what the fuck did we just watch?" And I was thinking "that was a cool ass movie!"

    Like I said in an earlier post, the majority of movie buffs are going to love Blade Runner for numerous reasons. People who were expecting Blade Runner to be more like Star Wars were going to be disappointed.

    American Film Institute ranked Blade Runner as the 6th best SciFi film ever made.

    I think they rated it too low.
