Quoted from Bingovit:Really? Epic fail for choosing a current theme?
It’s smart to switch between proven and new themes!
To grow the business you need NEW people coming in and grow interest from outside the hobby which won’t happen with older themes that easily.
Which license would you choose from a property not older than 5 years old?
Stranger Things has been the biggest Netflix hit, GoT the biggest HBO and The Mandalorian the biggest Disney+. Seems like they’re paying very good attention!
Disagree, this is the point I’m trying to make.
If Stern and the pin manufacturers were paying attention to this thread, they would clearly see what their loyal followers and buyers are wanting as their next pin.
Not what Netflix or streaming service is pumping out that doesn’t even make sense as a pin theme.
Just because some youngsters like watching these shows, doesn't necessarily mean they are gonna run out and ask dad to buy a pinball. Or if they do, they convince daddy and will probably have two minutes interest in it.
It then gets moved on.... quickly.
It’s classic themes with nostalgia that hit the mark.
I don’t put any credence in Netflix viewer ratings. I’m guilty of watching all of Stranger Things + adding to the ratings system in the hope it would stay good after the 1st season. Sadly it took a massive nose dive.....utter crap.
Russians, ropey acting, script writing on a course to Neptune etc..... it put me to sleep.
Not like the 80s I remember.....
Duffer brothers were 5 years old at the end of the 80s... lol....
