Quoted from skink91:What a bunch of cry babies.
Amen brother, all self induced by believing the horse shit rumors that people dream up and honestly have no clue.
If you didn’t hear it from mnpinball it’s just plain bs.

Making people feel stupid about caring about what you are releasing next is not a good way to get people to care about what you’re releasing next.
Quoted from skink91:What a bunch of cry babies.
Maybe some need to sit back and enjoy a good syndicated music show to help release some stress.
skink91 You know which one I am talking about.
Quoted from cait001:my hope for Godzilla is that it has a strong crossover appeal and will be part of the growing pinball resurgence in Japan.
Like, maybe also do the callouts and screen text in Japanese and have it configurable? I've been waiting for YEARS for a break-away hit that could do serious numbers in markets like South Korea, Japan, China, etc
I think for now the pinball companies have more then enough orders to have a backlog for a long time. We don't need new people into the hobby...... more orders means I have to wait longer for a pin to be deliver
But I get your comment, it's a good idea if pinball companies could produce more.....who knows, maybe one day they will have outsourced plants to produce more on different continents. For now I prefer Japan keeps playing pachinko lol

I am still hopeful it could be King Kong vs Godzilla as that would bring in two sets of fans. In a Kong vs God film, first problem to resolve is that Kong is 1/4 the size of Godzilla. To make them more equal, Kong needs to be exposed to radiation and grow 400%. Then it would be an epic battle. Without that, Godzilla wins every time. Will we see King Kong (please yes)?

Aww yeah (and a one.. and a two..)
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Totally agree. This served no freaking purpose. I did puzzles when I was a kid and a few with my kids. I have no desire to buy a puzzle from Stern. Stick to pinball and pinball accessories that actually are used for pinball.
Silly post from Stern.
A puzzle... really.
Still holding out hope next release is Stern employee action figures. The hype is real.
Quoted from Zwovr6:Still holding out hope next release is Stern employee action figures.
Put me down for a Gomez LE.
I'm hearing Top Gun now... Stern has done a great job of keeping it off the radar and everyone in the dark on this one. Highway to the Danger Zone!
Okay, I'm just screwing around. Top Gun would be a theme I'd definitely be in, though. I never hear it discussed here as a possible theme so just curious how many others would be interested?
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Next pin reveal due 28 April
Stern delivered a month early this time!
Math below.

The average time between cornerstone releases is now 134 days.
Next Stern Pin is due on or about 28 April.
My money is still on Godzilla based on the quoted post above AND the fact the new Godzilla movie is due out Early May.
Monthly reminder... The Next Stern Pin is not due out until the end of April... statistically speaking at least.
There will never be a Top Gun pin due to the US Military industrial complex involvement in the production of the film. The license is unobtainable.

But, any info on when the next puzzle will be released?
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:There will never be a Top Gun pin due to the US Military industrial complex involvement in the production of the film. The license is unobtainable.
The Navy cooperated on the Top Gun for PR and recruiting purposes. I realize the pinball demographic isn't necessarily their target age for recruitment but it is still good PR and most people who own pinball machines have kids.
It probably wouldn't come cheap but I disagree the license would be unobtainable. I think the bigger issue would be paying Tom Cruise, all the actors, and enough of the soundtrack.
has anyone mentioned the puzzles will likely be LE’s? They might as well number them (say 300) and have the artist sign each. I’d likely spend $50 for one, delivered. How much would you spend?

$5 plus shipping. Now an actual size playfield artwork puzzle (roughly 20" x 42") of certain titles, I might could get behind.
Especially when we only get 65% of the puzzle, and have to wait 3 years for them to produce the remaining pieces.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Mrclean posted this pic in the Godzilla thread I started. Samauri puzzle definitely could be a hint to Godzilla
[quoted image]
Ive lost all respect for Samauri now 
I'm trying figure what all these puzzles have to do with tron vault, cuz its next. And I'd rather have gzilla 
A half- or full-size puzzle of certain playfields could be cool. If puzzles are your thing, the artwork of any zombieyeti game would be pretty cool. There's lots of small details that you don't necessarily focus on but you definitely would when assembling a puzzle.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:I'm trying figure what all these puzzles have to do with tron vault, cuz its next. And I'd rather have gzilla
It is Godzilla. Take it to the bank.
Quoted from Utesichiban:It is Godzilla. Take it to the bank.
Agreed. Stern is not in the puzzle business and could care less about it. They are promoting pinball and the puzzle is all about Godzilla and not a samurai. I read, write and speak fluent Japanese and that is katakana for pinball written below the Stern logo. Stern would not have reason to show Japanese wording if it wasn’t about selling Godzilla the pinball machine (not a $6 puzzle) very soon.
Quoted from ultimategameroom:I can use this for the Topper and save $1000!
Paid $120 for it in 1995 which I thought was expensive. I’m glad I bought it when I had the chance.

Bad ass!
Stern had Rampage stickers listed the other day (not pictured). The franchise includes cartoon style monsters like an ape and a zila creature. Are they stupid enough to lead with it over Godzilla, I hope not.

Quoted from NickyRicky:Buy puzzle, place on top of backbox, take picture, sell as "newest Stern Topper", profit $$$
A puzzle to top every pinball machine and stickers to paste on every cabinet.
Anybody heard the rumor or seen Kaminkow’s Harry Potter puzzles? Apparently there are three of them in the works. Brian Eddy IS designing one of them.
Quoted from cooked71:No lifestyle brand is complete without a range of jigsaw puzzles.
It seems like it's business as usual at Kramerica Industries.
choice (resized).jpgIt’s more involved than that. The pentagon allowed for millions of dollars worth of Jets and aircraft carries to be used in the film in exchange for early access to and rights to alter the script prior to filming, which they did. The military industrial complex basically turned ‘Top Gun’ into an American war propaganda film. It’s a little known fact but it’s true.
