World of Warcraft with two different LE packages similar to the Xmen pin would be cool. Have a Horde version and Alliance version. I would be an instant NIB Horde LE buyer.

I would love this - not sure how well it plays as a theme with the older demographic. But I would be very interested in it.

I had to quit WoW cold turkey to save my marriage. A WoW pin might be the last straw...lol

Zero idea what this is except "a game I've never played."
Wouldn't a Nintendo pin be a slam dunk? Super Nintendo World that opened in Japan looks amazing BTW.

Also, how about Pokemon? I only know from my kids, but because they evolve, that'd be an amazing mode feature in the game.
Is it too much too ask to get like a winter x-games pin or like a tony hawk skateboarding pin? Asking for a friend...

Apparently there's nothing there. It's mostly a giant well-themed shop to let people buy stuff. Lots of disappointed nerds that were expecting something on the level of Cars Land at Disney.
a tony hawk pin would be a great choice, especially considering how the remastered game(s?) were received
How about these possible themes for pins. I divided my list into pins that could be done right now and pins that need a couple more years for more Seasons or Movies or just more time needed before vaulting:
Now:
1. Kong vs. Godzilla: Movie is coming out and would obviously make a great pin.
2. Assassin's Creed: This could make an amazing pin if it was based off of the video games and not the movies. The missions and modes could be awesome not to mention the art and mechs.
3. Mario Brothers: The original one is asked about all the time and with Sterns game play it could be yet another game that could get the TMNT multiplayer mode that could be awesome.
4. Superman: How has this not happened already?
5. Harry Potter: I am actually a bigger fan of the Fantastic Beast series and never really got into the Harry Potter movies but again, how has this not been done already? There is plenty of stuff there that could lend itself to a great pin.
Later:
1. The Mandolorian: This will more than likely happen as it will ride the popularity of the show, just please be smart enough to put Zombi Yeti and Keith Elwin on it.
2. The Witcher: This time based more on the series and not the game. Medieval Period and magic seem to be great themes for pinball and this show has some serious potential to be great.
3. Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse: Not based on the Miles Morales movies but based on the comics and not the next Spider-Man movie from Sony/Marvel. Not a vault either but a brand new game. This pin could come out around the same time as the next Spider-Man movie but please no more pictures of Toby McGuire on a Pin.
4. OO7 Pin: This one may be a little further out than the others but give it a couple of movies and do it with all the Bonds. Again this one could lend itself to TMNT Multiplayer mode again.
5. Vault TMNT: This one is obviously the furthest out but vault this sucker and add scenes or at least make the animation look like the tv series like some modders have done and get rid of those damn mono targets and replace them with standup or drop targets. (If guardians wasn't already a re-theme I would say do the same thing with the targets on that one).
Honorable Mention:
Hannibal Lecter: People also want more adult themed pins and it doesn't get much more adult themed than this. Awesome series and could lend itself to some pretty wild and crazy toys.
If we're talking international appeal, you could do worse than LEGO. Pull in from the movies/LEGO Batman. Game flow and objectives, plus toys, write themselves.

Will Arnett on callouts would be legendary.

I am 50 and I played the first World of Warcraft.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:I am 50 and I played the first World of Warcraft.
I thought you were gonna say "Back in my day, WoW was called Everquest..."

I think you may see some other company and not Stern do a Lego Pin.

Half pipe jump ramp that runs along the back board off an upper flipper that can be looped over and over like the warp ramp on Star Trek is a must!
Quoted from darkryder:I’m down for more metal pins. Bring on Megadeth, Godsmack, Tool, Alice In Chains, Korn!
Don’t know if AIC falls into the metal category, but I do love me some Layne Staley! Though, I hope they don’t just fill the game with Roosters...
Quoted from onemilemore:Is this speculation or a hint?
NoQuarters is usually right on...will see.
Quoted from jorro:@Zombie Yeti
Something like this!?

Instant sell!
Quoted from finnflash:I can see AP doing Lego
Yeah makes a ton of sense given their work with Hot Wheels, but I wonder if a company of their size can afford the license.

That would be my first inclination...

American Pinball is just another co. in the the owners portfolio. I think they have some deep pockets and are cranking pins out.
Quoted from PinMonk:I thought you were gonna say "Back in my day, WoW was called Everquest..."
It was called Warcraft:Orcs and humans

Only Stern knows.. But found this:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sterns-game-release-history
Quoted from PinballManiac40:I see a March 2021 release here in the near future.
Which is kinda weird cause that's when all the backordered games are supposed to be shipped out...
Quoted from crujones4life:Which is kinda weird cause that's when all the backordered games are supposed to be shipped out...
Oh, I doubt Stern will be caught by then. I do hope you finally get your SW pro comic edition soon.
Quoted from John_I:Next release will surprise people.
Will you say if it is a title that has been suggested in say...the last 10 pages?
Quoted from John_I:I don't know the next cornerstone game, but seems like Godzilla is a good bet. Rumor has a VE next, but not 100% sure which game. BTTF is not happening ever from what I hear.
That's heartbreaking .
Quoted from John_I:Next release will surprise people.
Not much surprises me anymore, but if they released Alien, yea I would be shocked. Harry Potter next would likely cause a heart attack. That’s about it. What is the theme supposed to be - a band, superhero, video game or movie?
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Oh, I doubt Stern will be caught by then. I do hope you finally get your SW pro comic edition soon.
Thanks! Actually it's the original art SW Pro. But yeah I have been waiting since August!
