So... Lawrence Welk is next?

A lot of mix feelings if you read pinside.
Jjp is laughing his socks off.

Having seen Led Zepp art, I pray Stern never has the balls to even attempt Rammstein. Better for Spooky, AP or JJP

I'm thinking the artwork might be better.

Probably not next in the que though. Be patient.

Pro all in
PIF

Got to be better than stinking Munsters

uh...I think I will just play this on location.

JJP always "looks" leaps and bounds better than Stern. But Stern is about the fast gameplay and licenses. GnR is way, way out front in the fit and finish department. Zep should still be fun to shoot.

That's why I bought both

I get that we are all let down by the playfield but it's friggin Zeppelin guys.

Jump in the waters warm.

I stated a few pages back it would be another Rolling Stones pinball and I got tons of hates.

Ummm

Was I correct?

Bought it anyway.
Love the Pro cabinet its amazing.

He meant Data East GNR looks better than Led Zepplin

This is very true

Chaka play nice

I hope the hardcore LZ fans are happy with the pin. I'm a causal listener, and I'm not impressed with the layout and art, so it's a no for me, but can see the appeal for fans of the band. Congrats on getting a Led pin!! I feel a big miss was not using the Zeppelin blimp correctly. There was not a real creative use of the Zeppelin, it's just a sculpt sitting there, doing nothing. Should've been interactive in some way. I really hope Stern doesn't have BTTF, as its my dream theme, and if they shit on it like they did on Zeppelin, I'll be pissed. Some cool things they did with this pin was 3 completely different art packages, even though all 3 were low effort, entry level graphic design, maybe even high school kid could come up with that, but I applaud them for 3 completely different packages. Also like the pinstadium lights. I have to think they added that after the hot rails in GnR, but it's good to see Stern saw that implemented it. Wonder if GnR also influenced the 3 different art packages and maybe that's why we have a rushed design. I felt like the Icarus sculpt on a pogo stick was good idea, but they should of implemented another one to create balance, like they did with the gargoyles in Elvira. The pop up mechanism was nice....and then it reveals a spinner....a spinner. They could of done much more with that...even if the Zeppelin popped up and it was a spinning bash toy. Personally, I would put the "Old Hermit" as a toy that pops up from under the playfield and hit him like 5 times to light his lantern. John Bonhems drums should of been the pops instead of Icarus. Where the Zeppelin blimp was, I would put be the double neck guitar and find a way for the ball to travel between the two necks. Finally original psychedelic artwork would have been much better, or even commission the artist who did the mothership album to do the playfield artwork or cabinet. Stern did such a great job with Iron Madien, it's a shame that visually they dropped the ball on Led Zeppelin.

Listen, now that we've got that stinker led zep out of the way, can we get back to speculating about Jaws? Jaws.

Jaws? Jaws.
Jaws jaws jaws.

Then once that stinker is out of the way, can we get back to talking about the real prize, Hert Albert & The Tijuana Brass Save The Universe?

Not on the PRO.

Is it true? Are you Kaneda?

I'm sure this question would have been better asked in a private message. But to be clear, no I am not. If you would like to speak with him, I'm sure there are other outlets where you can reach him, however, I don't think pinside is one of them.

Glad LZ fans got a pin!

That said, shocked at what my eyes see.
Hoping this is a pin in which we are all surprised on how well it plays when we hit the start button.....otherwise.......

Patiently waiting for:
BLACK SABBATH!

You’ll be waiting a while. As in infinity.

Mad Max 1 and 2, or Fury Road.

Thanks for your votes of confidence Kermit

Just tempering expectations. Keeping it real.

How about Hellboy for the next superhero pin (you know there will be an annual superhero pin eh)

images (4) (resized).jpeg

First Hellboy movie would make an awesome pin. Golden Army? Um, pass.

And that "hard for the grownups" reboot Hellboy atrocity that came out last? Nuh, uh, no way.

I would prefer one based on the first movie not the comic. I'm getting a little comic-ed out.

Let’s face it Kaneda, you’re not going to like any layout Stern or Spooky does. We all know only JJP is to your liking.

More underhanded negative comments from Kaneda about a well known Stern rumor remaking BTTF. It is an old license they made before and they’ll do it again, only much better this time around.

This was the artwork on their albums from 50 years ago. After hearing your comments on LZ artwork, have to agree.

SR has been in the pinball business way longer than anyone, other than Gary. Do you really think he stole his art blade LED idea from JJP? If that is the case, then JJP stole their hot rail idea from Pinstadium, by just turning the LED bar up, instead of down.

Yeah Tim said the first thing he was doing when Covid started was light shows to the music because he didn’t have physical game to work on from home. Those lights were part of the design almost a year ago.

I don't usually say much about reveals or art

I figure if it's your thing you'll buy it

But having seen all 3 art packages(just that not going into anything else)

Massive fail and Led Zeppelin deserves MUCH Better

Really hoping for BTTF in 21

Liking the sound of the rules on Zep.

Getting gold records and then going for platinum, with high risk/reward of building up huge multipliers.

I think the pro is going to be a real good player.

To complete the set, there are 50 minutes of songs, which is too long for most people to achieve.

Tim has said he might adjust, so short cuts might or some kind of SOS ruleset might do the trick.

Hope the call outs are good.

And pretty good there is concert footage from the actual concerts on the playfield.

King Kong

Edited.

Can we get ballpin the f out here? Like a misquito in your ear that guy

It looks like Steve Ritchie and the team phoned this one in. Such a missed opportunity. It looks to be a bare and uninspired playfield. Lacking in theme integration. Let’s hope looks can be deceiving.

Ok, so someone must have actual intel on what’s next? Most believayive heard so far is Godzilla?

The life you seek is one click away

I’ve heard a couple times now that BTTF is next. Nothing concrete though. They’ve been right before thats all I’ll say.

Kapow?

Fury road is perfect for pinball.
Just make one ramp and one shot that returns to the same flipper and the game is done and totally identical to the movie.

LZ is an embarrassing release.

Yeah. So I probably won’t get one. Haha

I bet this game shoots great. I think the license was very restrictive on the assets they could use. Why else would the Icarus be on the LE game 7 times?

Interesting. But have they also been wrong before? That conflicts with the "highly unlikely" comment from mnpinball .

If that is the case, they honestly shouldn´t do the pin at all.

We have a few very recent example what great it does for the theme and integration when the license is coperative and even willing to do call outs etc.
GNR and R&M really shines theme and theme integration wise.

Having licensor and pincreator really enthusiastic about the project shines thru.

Looks like there is a lot of hate for the new Zeppelin pin. Now we have the rock pin released Stern can focus on Godzilla the king of monsters pin with Kieth and Yetti.

Everybody’s wrong from time to time.

Wat? This is a terrible idea. Any pin is always better than no pin.
